Epoxy Scrapers

[Tom Lathrop]

Geesh Tom' date=' I never thought you had 60 yrs behind you, much less 60 plus enough to be playing with this stuff.

If that sounds crude, it was. OSHA, NIOSH and interfering school administrators were far into the future. ".

not to mention zero tolerance policices on weapons to include such ridiculous rules as to ban leatherman tools!

It comes as quite a shock to me too Ray.

On the "weapon" thing, when I was a boy, only the class sissy would not have a jacknife in his pocket at all times. Nowadays my shop knife hangs on my belt almost always. Sometimes when I go into the city (New Bern, at 25K+ counts as a city around here), I find myself being looked at in a shunned kind of way. Then I realize they are looking at the sheath knife and imagining all the nasty things a knife can do. When asked, I explain why the knife is so useful to me and why it is there instead of in my pocket. I get enough epoxy on my pants anyway without reaching pox covered hands or gloves into my pocket to retreive a folding knife and open it.

Yep Tom- and it wasn't all THAT long ago when kids carried their shotguns in the trunk or pickup rack, parked in the school parking lot, so they could go bird hunting right after school.

The terrorists are winning- we're handing it to them.
