Man, you have to be a phuckin' masochist to get a tattoo on the head of your crank. It'd be like gettin' it caught in your zipper 100,000 times. :lol:

I guess no one wants to know how the story continues.

Because of the vacancy—he hadn’t spotted anyone in the ten minutes he’d been adjusting Gaffer’s unit—he said out loud, “You ready to squirt, old buddy?” He tried to sound cheerful but realized he was failing miserably. Actually, he couldn’t have been much more miserable, but Gaffer, immune to any emotions, begun to play with himself, his chain-mail gloved hand stroking only air. Regardless, his ivory shaft elongated and poked upwards. But just as Gaffer leaned back for orgasm, his mouth open in supposed ecstasy, everything vaporized. SIM WORLD HAS UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT. WOULD YOU CARE TO FILE A REPORT? the screen read. “Figures. I’m cursed. Sorry, Gaffer.” He shut off the computer in disgust and settled his nearly bald head back on the pillows. Her Maine Coon cat seemed to sense his discontent, and the lion-like face stared at him, then a paw reached out and gently brushed his cheek.

He blew his nose and felt his forehead. The fever was worse. For close to three weeks he’d been marooned on the sofa, struggling with this insistent flu. Every time he caught a glimpse of the horizon to recovery, he was locked in the fog of illness again. It was his mental state. He knew that. How could he get healthy when his life was a shipwreck? But his girlfriend had given him one last chance. She was coming back for Thanksgiving. He needed to get a turkey. He needed to clean the house. He needed to buy oil for the furnace. He needed a new job. He needed to drop some weight. He needed to quit drinking. He understood her leaving him and taking the opportunity to earn a decent wage. Who could blame her? No one wanted to be in a relationship with a drunk and a loser. If he failed at Thanksgiving, she would take her cat and be gone. As if hearing his thoughts, Boo let out a bit of a croak and brought out the paw again. What he lacked in voice he made for with size and amiability.

Jon, the chain mail is only on the back of the glove.


Which hood hinge do you like?

Andre, it's gun blueing on brass, and doesn't look rusty except in the photo. It actually looks a dull gray black in person. Not a good photo--sorry. Can you see the rivets? I thought the CMC hinge looked very large and the screws bothered me.

I can not see any rivet.....on the 2nd pic.
The screw on the first pic are very noticeable and look unreal.
you pic is little bit out of focus, try to use a tripod and turn off the flash.

Some of the best advice DennisB has ever shared with me!!!!

The higher you set the ISO, the grainier the picture will be. Use the lowest ISO setting on your camera.
Use a tripod and set your f-stop to f-11 or f-16 (whatever the highest f-stop your camera has.) Then set the shutter speed accordingly. Even doing this, you’ll still need adequate lighting. Grain is more noticeable in the shadow areas.

Boys, I'm using a half-Ben point and shoot. It just won't focus close. There are 10 rivets in that plate. (Jon, I was thinking of Andre during the retrofit.) CMC really blew it on that hinge in my opinion. Mine isn't great but it's better. In person it looks okay and the hood still seats perfectly, which wasn't easy to do.
