I also drive an american car (always have) and pay more than my fair share of taxes. I think we all pay more than our fair share of taxes, mainly because we have so many corrupt politicians.

Back in my Granddad's day, everything at hand was utilized. Nothing was "thrown away" or went to waste, and if it needed to be done, one did it himself. Making do, being creative,self-sufficiency, well, it's "The American Way."

There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

That's it, Magnum PI. Perhaps a little Vagicil would make the flip flops look better for ya. Actually, I have plenty of discerning clients who bring their guns to me for Recoil Pads. At least, those who care about what they shoot.

Did you use the flip or the flop side. The wife has a defective pair as both make the same flip sound. She refuses to wear them in public anymore due to the noticable fault. We'd be glad to donate them to a member here, if he'll just cover shipping.

Funny that,I ain't the one getting all puzzy hurt over folks using flip flop pads.
Also haven't met anyone in Arizona who has even heard of you, much less had you do work. Your website looks like the bulk of your stuff is coating.. Your business is so booming that it runs out of a residential address too eh?

It serves little purpose to dump on a guy's business, especially if you haven't heard of it or haven't patronized it. I have had work done in that shop and I can assure you that it is first quality. I have found that the shop does the work that the marketplace demands rather than vomit out a bunch of product that no one buys. I saw some posts where guys are trying to save some dollars and I certainly understand that. If it works for you and serves your needs, that's ok. Many people in today's world don't have those skill sets or equipment. I also know that there are various tasks that I can do, but a professional does them better. An old friend once told me, "It only costs a little more to go first class." I've been on both sides of this debate and have too often ended up having a professional fix my "inexpensive" installations or repairs.
All that having been said, it saddens me to see a discussion degenerate into a name calling session of personal attack.

Thanks, Jim. You're right. I let this become personal and my apologies go to ThomasMagnum. As my grandpa always said, "there's no use getting in a pissin' match with a skunk". This guy had no skin in the game until I insulted him. My bad. I expressed my opinion about half measures and suddenly my livelihood is called into question. Well, that's enough on this topic and with this guy. Blessings to all!
