I ordered a bunch of material to feed my addiction. Speer 900f down, sil, some 1.1 and 1.9 rip stop. I got a bunch of webbing and some stormproof 5 oz per yard rip stop for my new bridgeskin. I got all kinds of plastic hardware. Some I just ordered and some I got in OWF's grabbags. The next time you order from OWF get a ultralighters grabbag. It has small pieces of sil, some elastic velcro and a great assortment of plastic stuff that I haven't figure out what it does yet. I also got a fleece grabbag to make some of Griz's wrist warmers since I have given up growing fur like he has on his arms. There is 1" camo webbing and I finally found where Brandon gets those cool tri-rings. I also got a zipper so I can either mod my HH or clone a BB.
I am just giddy with excitement. Let the games begin. I am going to need to expand the gear room after this winter. I plan to remake my coffin quilt, make a new summer quilt, remake the bridgesin only lighter, a BB clone (it would be cool to be the first), stuff sacks and a new purple rain kilt for Mrs Dutch. This is going to be a good year, a good year indeed. I have made changes in my life to work on my priorities. I vowed off TV, quit drinking beer,soda,eating fatty foods, going to resturaunts, and I am cutting back on my hours at work. I sleep more, spend more time with the family, I am training for my 6th marathon, and now quality time with my sewing machine. Oh and I plan on going hiking this year sometime. Life is good.
