I had a heck of a day.I t all started out warm and fuzzy and turned into buzzard poo poo.
Guy contacts me and wants a holster built for a 1863 schofield I tell him yes i will make that. But I need a mold of the gun or the gun itself to fit the holster to. .
He sends me a Italian made replica that costs about $80.00. wants to know if that is ok? LOl I sad yes. So i start the build. I get about 97% complete. and then Punched a hole for a rivet in the wrong spot. DAMN this holster is TRASHED
OK..going into overdrive. I cut out 2 more pieces of leather and coat one side each with glue.
When i flip them over to stick them together. glue had seeped out via a punched hole
DAMN DOUBLE DAMN
I toss it against the wall, cat runs. wife faced turned red.
Here we going one time more.
This time i completed the holster, and wet formed it. set it on the shelf and went to bed
i wake up and go check on it. DAMN TRIPLE DAMN DAMN
$%^$%^^^*(())*&%$#@#$%^&()__)(*&^%$@@#$#%^*)))(*^$$$
Where the leather folds over the back for the belt strap. It had a crack n the leather. Not my fault. some leather does that. So. I went into MacGyver mode and fixed it.
This damn build has been a straight up pita from get go. But I am proud of the outcome

No good deed goes unpunished?

Sounds like one of my in-laws "requests". Give ya just enough information to get you to say yes, then as the project unfolds, add more details and obstacles.

I'm fine.

I am just super busy with spring things outside and I just needed a break to relax and rejuvenate my brain.

I hear you on that. But I go outside, see all the things I need to do, then go back inside.

I go out and do a little at a time, trying to do a little each day. I am not always successful with that. I could spend a few full days out raking, pruning, digging, amending, planting. I start at the front with raking. Some days I do one bed, others I fill the trash bin. I will go back after I am all done with raking, then sweep, clean it up. Last year I ended up with around twenty 55 gallons bags of yard debris. The other part of this is to get some out in the trash each week, until we have large item pickup, which is now only every eight weeks. That is a long time for bags to be piled up.

Hey Frodo - glad you're okay. Sorry about all the damns breaking

That's all good. We just have to know that you are okay You and Mrs Jim enjoy this beautiful springtime.

 

[zannej]

Frodo, let's hope the guy sent you the right replica & that it fits. Sounds like the kind of trouble I would have making things. Which reminds me, I need to get on to working on making things - after I get my bathroom floor fixed & house cleaned.

Nice of you.

Has anybody been in touch with Sentry? I'd like to know how he's doing...

I kinda miss Sentry too, He was on the other site with us for several years before we came here.but he never did like me,but I think he is a good man,good father,husband , cop and a Christian. Must have been something I said.I hope he is ok and having a good life in his new job and careful.

It would take a lot more than something you said to drive him away. I can't remember Sentry ever having a problem with anyone bad enough to drive him away. He's a big boy and can take care of himself.
I suspect it's job-related like the last time.

 

[Weedygarden]

He announced his leaving and it was to start a second job to fast forward to retirement. I don't think he is even on the membership list any longer.

OH NO I can't drive him away! Never said that Backlash,just said I don't miss the trolling me but do have lots of resoect for him otherwise Me and Sentry had lots of political disagreements on both sites,lol. He is just too much like me likes a good debate I guess.

 

[Spikedriver]

He still comes up if you go to "members" and search him. There must be an inactive setting.

 

[Meerkat]

If I remeber he said his job was more covert for a better word and he couldn't be online but I could have misunderstood him.

I know he said that once but I don't remember if that was for this time or the other time he went incognito a few years ago...

When he was leaving this time ,cause I don't remember him leaving any other time. Anyway hope he doing good.

He left for quite a while, I think it was in 2018. He had some kind of security contractor type gig where he couldn't be online.

Thanks to whichever Admin unlocked my account.

I still have the issue of an unavailable email as my contact email, in my account though.
I suspect if I try to change it , it will make me go to that old email for a code , which I cannot get to.

Which I cannot get into.
Any Admin willing to work with me to change it please PM me, otherwise the next lock out is just a matter of time..

Long gone with no intentions of returning. I believe you know where he is active now. Aren't you fairly active on a forum where he is?
