Bob,
Good choice! Then you will have a bag worth
$250 and you can quit you day job :rotf: :rotf:
and make bags all day long.

Bob,
Oh, that's right, I didn't know you worked
nights. I start at 9pm and leave usually
between 6 and 7am at Sam's. If I have two many
hours they send me home on my 5th day early.
No O/T(or seldom). When I get home it's all I
can do to make a bourbon/water, let alone a
leather bag :rotf: Hope you are back to work
soon, if you are not already.
snake-eyes :hatsoff:
