Hey, I'm back wit me Iron! (nod to Brise) Hailsa, good wealth and weal to all cantanistas! Good to read some friendly faces round here...
But enuf with the pleasantries...Apologies to Rio, and Donuts. You folks have been quite patient, and you'll get yer gear, never fear.
Been snowed in with life, but don't worry, this Ferrous wheel didn't take Rio Jim or Donutz (Howdy, DaveW!) fer a ride. I can't access my old acct from this location, something about not recognizing the email addy.
Donuts, I'll (and I'm not just sayin this) have that seax out to you in the next 5 days. It is the best yet! I had an issue with the masking, and it actually turned out to be cool when I realized what it would look like...
Rio, I went kinda subdued on the Pappy Mem. Khuk, as noone seemed to really be into puttin a bunch of stuff on it. It does say "Rio Jim" in a small cartouche on the spine, and a small "Semper Fi--Pappy" on it as well. The scabbard is kinda a rough fit as you'll recall that it was for another khuk or something originally...
So, just wanted to clear the air, even the most stand-up guys can stumble and fall on occasion, but we do get back up and dust off, and come back.
Boy, it has been a weird 6-9 months, lotsa joy, sadness, gain, and loss, but still Sunna turns and shines her sky-gold on us.
I'll pop back in when I can. Nasty, thanks. Yvsa, hi! DIJ -- Got that Roku Dan yet? Come on back to the USSA
