Was it a CMA patch? Hell, they scare me!!!!!!!!

Being narley looking is handy when you have three teenage daughters, I'm 6'1 360 with a buzz cut and thick full beard and scars on my face and head from skin cancer. Pretty much a beer gut and popeye arms from opening and closing steam valve for 35 years. People tend to not f*ck with me though I'm a nice and quiet guy..........

go figure eh?
