    I got my leather yesterday too!

    I cut to size and punched a hole in each end. Some old laces go on and I've got a nice hanging travel strop.

    Larry, your generosity is much appreciated. I originally asked for enough to replace the Latigo on my SRD 2" strop. To me, this was borderline asking too much, I would have been more than happy with less. I received 2.75" wide which tapered to a hair over 2.5" and about 3" more length than the strop originally had. I trimmed the strops width to an even 2.5" for the whole length, then punched out the mounting holes and secured it with the 2" SRD end/handle.

    I don't like 3" wide strops as I have always used 2"-2.5" with x-strokes. I prefer an x-pattern over just straight back and forth. Personal preference. Bottom line though. This leather is great. First time I used it I did 200 laps just because the feel was so nice!

    Hat's off to you sir, your positive Karma will be well rewarded!

    Nice! Unfortunately, I sent you the wrong piece of leather. Please send the entire strop back to my address at...

    I was a pharmacist for 14 years before shifting into software development. Occasionally, we suspected patients were abusing their medications when they claimed to have lost their medications. For some reason, "my dog ate it" was the excuse given by the majority of them.

    "My dog ate it!" just doesn't cut it with me, mate!

    Once, someone told me their duck ate them. I admired the pluck of that person to try to run something like that by me. (It was probably true.) On another note, a patient wanted me to fill his rxs out of turn, ahead of everyone. He told me his house was on fire and he had to get home quickly.

    Interesting job at times!

    Definitely sounds like some fun times. I actually used to know someone who had a pet duck. I don't think it ate any prescriptions though.
