Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!
Ya know what? We have some of the finest people on earth right
here, right now, fueling this platform!
A couple weeks ago I was admiring products that a master craftsman
and leatherworker creates, that would be 
a comment on his post.
Then when checking my replies I saw that
had left me a proposal on armadilloman's post where I had
commented.
The proposal was that he would buy me an item for me if I wanted
one. That's an offer I couldn't refuse! So obviously I said I'd love that.
I contacted Armadilloman with an item I had picked out and he
created it, papa-pepper paid him and I received it in the mail this
week. didn't even have to pay postage.
No strings attached, papa-pepper just felt like blessing me with it.
That's the kind of people we have on here and I'm honored to be part of it.
Now, if you're not familiar with
guy is a master leather craftsman who creates a huge number of
products like card wallets, billfold wallets, bags, belts, hats, eye
patches, cuffs and many more items.
When you see his collection you'll think he's got an army of helpers
doing all this stuff but no..it's all him and all one of a kind
handcrafted supreme quality leather goods.
this post here will give you everything you need to know
about his work and products:

As far as papa-pepper what can I say?
When I first got on Steemit someone said to go and follow
So I figured it would be some old white haired guy with a long
white beard dispensing wisdom about cryptos or Steemit from his
rocking chair on the porch or something.
Instead I go there and whoa! what the?? some crazy young dude
catching snakes and all kinds of animals, seems like mostly snakes
but there's actually a big variety, homesteading, gardening, raising
goats, posting multiple times a day..and he DOES dispense wisdom
about plants, animals and life.
It's amazing. Bottomline: if you aren't following both of these men
then you're missing out on a part of the Steemit experience which is
inspiring, educational and entertaining.
check out some of Armadilloman's products, the first is the card
wallet that I ordered:
mind-blowing selection of belts
you won't believe the selection of eye patches
belt buckles
custom leather hats!
super cool wrist cuffs
all photos are Armadillomans
If you're not following these men...well, I think you're out of your mind.
You can't read any of their posts and come away not learning something
fascinating.
thanks for reading folks and God bless you all!
