Darrel, I'm so sorry. Melanie sounds like a wonderful person. We're here for you if you ever need to talk. All our thoughts and prayers are with you Take care. -John

Those aerators, Times 30 that would have been a tough fix. Those are cool pictures.

These guys are right. An injury in service is an injury in service. IED or giant anchor. Both are deadly. Heal fast Hudson.

Well said. Thanks for your service. Remember that America loves you.

Sorry about your leg. Thanks for your service soldier. We are in your debt. You could look into a resin foam product. You could pour it into the calf with a slip over pipe in inside. That is if your prosthetic foot comes off easy. Then it would be a slip on plug and play fit. The only tricky part would be to figure some way of keying it to the prosthetic so it doesn't spin around. shouldn't be too tough. A notch of some kind in the bottom of the pipe. By the time this thread is done, you might have a bionic replacement. Take care.

Give them an inch and they take a mile. That sucks.

I've only had one person asking me what I was doing. I told the woman that I was building a Halloween costume. I figured that would satisfy her curiosity but she snapped back with "Isn't it pretty early for Halloween?" I said "No. Halloween is a year round event at my house." That got me a weenie eyed smirk. Next time I get a nosy question I'm going to tell them it's for a sex toy. That's probably what they are thinking anyway.

I've been busy planning for the future. I'm building my website. Getting some networking done. Signed up for the TK Project and doing some new artwork. Oh yeah, trying to finish my E11. It's been crazy.

Why don't you get your stuff ready for Elite while you're waiting? Staying occupied will make it go by fast.

That's an awesome set of armor little Dude! Way Cool!!

Way to go Matt! Now we need to put you to work doing slot machine promotions! HA HA! Way Cool! -John

Looks great Darcy.

Hi Thayne, You got it! Looks awesome. I've got to get me one of those.

Great job. Congrats on Elite!

Hey Andy, welcome to the forum. Read the threads. All your answers are there. Good Luck.

Yeah, your kidney and butt plate are way too high. I would drop it down until the tops are even. You may have to trim the top of the ab and kidney plate to better fit you. When you wrap your belt around the bottom of the belt should be even with the top of the butt plate seam.

Impressive collection. Most impressive... Do you have a favorite?

Hey Matt, nice work. Welcome to the FISD!

Cool. Keep us posted on your progress.

First class job. I have a 6 year old that wants to be an EVO Trooper just like his favorite action figure from Force Unleashed. See what you started?

Nice job man.

There was a guy on the forum that made a rubber version of the ear bump and put a little push switch under it. It looked great and seemed to be very functional. I can't seem to find it now. I'll keep looking around.

I've run into that error message too. Have you tried the help desk?

Nice Lid. Welcome to the FISD. That's some amazing customer service Mike!

I just turned 43. I've been going through this transition a little late in life. I think what spurred it on for me was watching my kids raise their kids. (Yes, I'm a young Grandfather.) I saw them so wrapped up in unimportant things that they were missing the joy their children were living. Even worse they were trying to wring the joy out of them. I realized that the only "real" people I know are under 8 years old or act like it. There is nothing more important than realizing that the only thing worth living for is the simple joys in life. My Grand kids are teaching me this. Today, I am ashamed that I was so lost for so long. Live your life Phil. Find and live the joy. If your friends can't deal with it then let them go. You will find new friends that share your joy and your life will be that much better for it.
