You definitely nailed it...forget Google...
Me and a high school friend saw the premier of Kung Fu at a Sears store in the TV section. We watched the 2hr movie and started karate right before that when Billy Jack came out. It was at a YMCA, Shotokan. We were 15-16 yrs old when we started in 1971. Kung Fu debuted in 1972. I’ll never forget it! Thanks for the reminder Bawanna. If you brand yourself, I’ll do it with you....only if there is snow on the ground!Actually the branding iron works superb just the way Bookie made it. I just give it blind hog wild guess heating with my propane torch. Try it on a scrap to make sure I got enough heat and go for it.
So far it hasn't let me down once.
I even hit a brand a second time a couple time to define it better and got a perfect overlay.
That Bookie is plumb genius sometimes.
I thought about play Kung Fu and branding each of my forearms but I started to cry just thinking about it. Not very manly of me for certain. I may revisit the idea at a later date. OR NOT.
