Was *browsing* the web and noticed Diamond Back toolbelts have gone out of business. Hopefully it was due to them retiring out and not biting the dust with competition from Dewalt, etc……….

This is the third thread that I've seen on this item in three months. I wonder if he knows how much he's been missed.
Apparently, he wasn't making enough money at it to be worth while.
I had started to think about getting one of his rigs too. My Occidental leather is too heavy when all loaded out and my Skillers vest helps my back but I don't like the way it's pockets are arranged.

And here I was considering buying one of those vests....I noticed they sell pockets that can be hung from them additionally.
Be hung...lol

In his first interview since the stroke, Ram Dass, 66, spoke with great difficulty about how his brush with death has changed his ideas about aging, and how the recent loss of two old friends, Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg, has convinced him that now, more than ever, is the time to ``Be Here Now.''

The skillers vest is great for back comfort because of the way it distributes the loads.
But it is hot in summer, and the locatiuon it forces me to place certain tools and nails is not all that convenient for me. I've got all the infill pockets but the leather ones just add weight.
About three weeks ago, I went back to the Occidental leather bags but my back has been hurting more and more again. I really love that my hand finds whatever tool it is looking for without slowing me down. But today, I ended up hanging the bags over a stepladder near my position and tying on an old canvas pouch. Much better on the spine to not be carrying that extra load..

Dear CAndy,
Could you please explain in logical terms what your footnote means? I am expecially interested in the closing phrase, "Be here now."
Thanks,

dale,
First, don't ever call him "Candy." That really ticks him off. Shirley you didn't do that on purpose...
Second, you asked him to do something that violates one of his core principles...you asked him to "explain in logical terms"...
Andy, don't hit me too hard, bro!<g>

Would take up more space here than I think anyone wants to go through so heres a link if youre interested .
What exactly don't you understand? Who those people are or what,
"Be Here Now" means?
It was a book Ram Dass wrote maybe before you were born. Long story but if yer so inclined I gave you a link below to those crew.
Ive been heavily influenced by Ram Dass and these people and spend a week with Ram Dass at the Omega Insititute of Holistic Learning seach Sept but my roots go back with him over three decades.
Be well
Namaste'

Links to Ram Dass and some of his...well look for yourself if you want.

Andy,
Did not mean to type the 'C". Started to address the message to 'Clifford' then changed to 'Andy' but did not hit the backspace key enough nor did I check my work.
Anyway, from a logical position: How can one be anywhere else other than 'here now'?

How many people do you know that live only in the past or keep thinking how nice in the future one could.........
Simple point being is to Be Here Now.......tomorrow my never be here for you.
As I put it, " ya may get hit by a vitamin truck".
Or as someone that knows they're dying.......make each second count...NOW!
Be well bro

One's body can only be here now, but the mind canbe anyplace or any time.
I can think of two people I know, one of whom is always living in the past and the regrets his past failures have generated, and the other of whom is always preoccupied with the future and his wild eyed dreams of getting rich someday - to the point that he has lost focus on his present businesses and gone bankrupt three times. It's a real shame because he has such energy and entrepreurial spirit and enthusiasm that lacks discipline to become real success.
when I was in High school, I did at least the required amount of daydreaming and was often guilty of not being there, then, when the teacher asked me a question.
And I can remember one girl who had to ask me more than once, "Where are you?" because of my failure to be there, then, totally focussed on her words and thoughts of that moment.....
Excellence is its own reward!
although.....lol...when back in grammer school daydreaming as we looked out the window.....was more about our own expectations of ourselves and dreams.......kind of like stepping outside yourself every here and there as adults and looking down from a place we don't get caught up in, in our every day lives...A lot of what Tim and Richard looked into when using LSD for the firs time.
Its when you get caught up in that one place that gets you in trouble.
Moderation in all thoughts except conscious thinking/"being".
Be the time a girl asked me to come home with her in high school and I was daydreaming about a girl I was dreaming about and missed the girl that was talking to me.....Sure wasn't "BE here now" then...lol..way bummer!

i was in the same boat, but alas no diamondback for me. Guess my current belt was just lasting a wee bit longer then anticipated
I probably won't wait but I doubtr that I'll wait for the oxy's to wear out.
