I've had this massive headache for a few hours now, and I've already taken 3 Advil pills with little relief.
And I can't balance this damn redox equation:

1 ClO3- 1 Cl2 + 3 O2

Im going out tomorrow to buy a rasp, but Im not sure I could work it down by hand in time.

Thankfully I made a second foam blank which I covered in the sheet plastic tonight and put a test layer of a plaster joining compound over part of it, that I can sand much more easily with a fine grit paper by hand and it will provide a nice smooth surface. To top it off once I prime and paint the stuff, it becomes much less brittle (I put a layer of it of Pies kukri, worked wonders for filling in wood irregularities).

Quote:I've mentioned this to <redacted> before, and told her to talk to you and <redacted>, and, I was going to save this for Christmas, but I need a really good holster for the FOB.  Let me explain.  I've got two different leg holsters- a really cheap one and really expensive one.  The cheap one is worthless, just worthless.  The really expensive one is on loan from the army (actually it's the second holster the army has issued me, a Lieutenant Colonel i was roommates with at CRC absconded with the first one).  A leg holster is good for missions (I mean, it's exactly what I want for a tactical situation) but I find it pretty damn annoying when I'm just hanging around the FOB.  Around the FOB, it's form over function- does it annoy me to walk around with it?  Does it add 5 extra steps to going to the bathroom?  So, I haggled a hadji down to $5 for a leather belt holster, and like most of the stuff you buy from hadji, it's a piece of crap.  I give it another two weeks before it falls apart.  But after trying on some shoulder holsters and discovering I don't like them, I think I'm ready to get a really nice looking, good quality leather belt holster.  I'm sure somewhere around there is a saddle shop that makes a decent holster.  I'm not thinking minimalist holster here- there's nothing "conceal and carry'ish" about anything I do here.  You've got my check book, see what you can find, pictures are encouraged.  You can get me a belt with a nameplate on it while you're at it.  As far as care packages- I've got pretty much all I need, and I usually hit up <redacted> for Life Support items - razors, deodorant, etc, so send me something you'd think would eat up a chuck of my time, as I have an excess of it for the time being.  I'm always bad at thinking of stuff that'd "be nice to have."  Surprise me.  

Sorry for the rant, it's been a slightly annoying day.  Thank you for all the help, effort and support.

I sent this after I had already been looking online for a holster, and the first place I looked was Galls.. their HQ is in town.  So I had already ruled them out.  Today I got a care package with this  How did she get that from the above text?  

This thing is horrible. it sticks out 4" from my body, I'm hitting it on fucking door jams! walking with a normal arm swing is impossible.  I have to sit on the left side of chairs!  The only good thing so far is that my ACU jacket doesn't get bunched up around it. My platoon sergeant looked at it and all he could muster was, "well, at least it has good retention..."

Gah!

Not only did today really suck because I have 2 stitches in my thumb, but it also really sucked because I now get to pay $170 for an hour of in shop time for my car.

And also because I started today with 3 stitches, but one ripped out. And I bled all over a $7800* classified piece of military hardware that we're making for a company that technically doesn't even exist.

I wonder what RoHS allows for blood concentration in commercial products...
