    Oh good... It took me a few experiments on scrap leather to figure out the ratio of dye to reducer to get that shade, and its exactly the color I envisioned when you said "lighter brown"... Its the color I like for a saddle.

    I just finished the glue up of the 2 layers... It measures 7/32" thick, a good heavy belt that should last a very long time.

    Its got a pretty stiff timber to it aswell...

    It will limber up with just a bit during the rest of the building process, and then alot more once you start wearing it.

    I got some gatorade today and was able to get some peanut butter and crackers down without it coming back up. Made me feel alot better. Was even able to eat tacos and rice for dinner tonight no problem. Just keeping hydrated with plenty of fluids

    I have the same problem I've been fighting since Jan 3rd.

    And oddly enough, I'll feel tired but it takes FOREVER to fall asleep.

    So, I'm resting and hydrating, hopefully I'll be good to go next week.

    Hope you get better. My nephew brought it home to his Mother that’s immune compromised and Grandma who’s 71 yrs old. They’ve been vaccinated, he hasn’t. Doesn’t matter they’re all sick with it now. Looks like they’re going to make it. My daughters boyfriend has it now. Looks like everyone’s going to have or had it by March.

    When I run with pilot cars - I run on a different channel - I have enough other things going on that don’t want to have to wonder if it is one of them telling me something or someone else.

    when I am not running with pilots but am oversize, I have it turned way down and may not respond if I am working my way through obstacles or heavy traffic.

    99.99999% of my loaded miles are oversized and/or overweight.
