Lol! It's a Hawaiian outrigger canoe racing paddle. As an aside... You sure got a pretty mouth. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eh? Is there a banjo in the photo somewhere? -Eric

After finally getting home from work travel I am now ready to deal with this Anovos purchase. Why did I buy this? Because $350 seemed too good to be true. Also I like building armor. WIll it fit me? NFW. What the hell will I do with it? I think it is bound for a mannequin. Or maybe sell it locally to someone who really needs it. Will my whole build thread consist of asking myself questions and then answering them? Quite possibly. I'm going to open the box now and start trimming. -Eric

Heh. I just declined the nomination for LCO Yikes man. -Eric

I dunno man. Snap plates and elastic is more flexible and I think it makes it easier to adjust your TK to look good for your body type. A small minority of approved TKs use the original bracket system. I'm not sure I would recommend the original strapping system for everyone. -Eric

We'll be passing the hat later this year when our hosting costs are due Right now we don't need any money. -Eric

LOL "cm325i Anovos Build?" The pointed question mark is hil-larious. -Eric

Pull up your thighs bro! Nice looking build though -Eric (you can thank Chris Greene for this)

That there is literally desk slapping funny. I made a co-worker jump. -Eric

+1 for the hammer set and anvil action. All the pliers I've used have needed me to finish them with the hammer type set tool anyways. And then I ended up bending my pliers after so many snaps trying to get them properly connected. -Eric

The dremel and I are not friends. I use sandpaper around a large dowel or around a sanding block after lexan scissors. -Eric

Dude! You're a shining example of how just a little work can improve the look of an FX radically. Nice job trooper. -Eric

I'm glad you cleared up what you meant by this statement. On the surface it was a totally dick thing to say. It's true this is an expensive hobby. You either have means, save for years, or make it a very high financial priority...or I my case... all of the above. -Eric

It was a tough decision... but I'm choosing this one: --------------- -Eric

You clever clever bastard. -Eric

Actually the CRL states 2 for stunt and 4 rivets for hero in the base requirements. I hope the top two rivets come out of the belt painlessly. I'll be trying it when I get my kit . -Eric

Months go by and GXO boy posts next to nothing. And now this. Seems about right. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I suck. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're totally right. The Sauters run a great business with solid customer service. As an active member, Jim goes out of his way to take care of his legion brothers and sisters. -Eric

Aha. I see. What then would be the plan to "fix" this? A notch shim? Wouldn't that look weirder than the notch as is? -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a photo of the AP notch in question someone can point me to? Thanks, -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

an impolite person! --------- -Eric

With the LMO's approval I changed the wording of the CRL (Morten you were cc'd): It went from: There shall be a single raised vertical strip running from toe to tongue, approximately 1/3 the width of the shoe. To: There shall be a single raised vertical strip running from toe to tongue across the top of the boot. It is now hopefully GML-proof. -Eric

--------- The Legion is a-changing and maybe not for the better. That's a much bigger conversation to be had amongst a smaller group of people. -Eric
