Sitting at my desk gazing out the window as the clouds gently sweep across the brilliant blue sky, I ponder a deep thought I had the night before which was so brilliant it defined me and the moment so beautifully and perfectly with only a half dozen words or so. I scratch my head and continue to gaze searching and grabbing for a thought that has now completely left my memory for ever, and wonder could it really of been that good If I have already forgotten it? All this time I sit and ponder I’m…See More

- Hey Brother!! Thanks for the good comments on the article. I actually wrote it to help several local brothers in redoing theirs. I truly enjoy the process and when it is done, the helmet feels that much more a part of your own history. As for the paint, well. 'Nough said, but I'll be callin' on you if I ever need help with leather! Thanks again. (Just saw a burned up lid belonging to another officer in my department, he took a beating at a training burn run by another department. The paint is all raised up on the crown and I'm concerned that his lid is cooked.., knowing him, he isn't pleased. I'm dying to hear what happened.
