It's "sorta" BP related.....
Told the wife and kids not to get me anything for Christmas; I was buying my own present. Back in my late teens/early 20's, I did a bit of leatherwork; mostly belts, some knife and small tool pouches, a woman's wallet for the wife......that I almost thought was gonna be ready by the next Christmas. A retired friend of mine started posting up pictures of the leatherwork that he was doing; in response to my b*tching about the the fact that most (leather) holster manufacturers would SHOW EXAMPLES of left-handed holsters in their catalogs/web pages, but then the fine print reads "Temporarily Out of Stock" FOREVER!
So I whipped out the ol' Discover Card and ordered some tools to replace the long-gone, "sold in a yard sale" tools from when I moved from Tucson back to Yuma. The various, knives, stamps, stitching awls, books and such that I was "never gonna use again!" (Yeah, right) Also caught a smoking deal -$56- on a double-shoulder cut of 7-9 oz economy-grade leather that turned out to have ONE (1) 1/2" by 3" blemish on on 12-14 aq ft of some otherwise gorgeous hide.
But I told myself what I always told the kids when they were little; "NOT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!"
So that box from Tandy sits open next to the tree; mocking me from now until Dec 25th.
And it's making me crazy! :banghead:
