That's the absolute truth my friend! It's like the Library of Alexandria burning down every single time. It seems that they're heading in a direction where information can be transmitted nearly instantly from human mind to human mind through the use of coming technologies. But then you have the conundrum of do you want a chip in your brain. Which I, myself, don't. I'll be one of the holdouts if I live that long.I've always said that when an old person dies, it's like a library burned down. There's a lot of information that is lost forever. Think about it. Even someone who we think is really dumb, knows something that I don't.
I think it's amazing that everyone walks around with a smart phone in their pocket. A device that basically gives a person access to all the information in the world. Right at their fingertips, but I've never seen so many stupid people in my life!
Sorry for the rant. Here's a picture of a couple knives that I'm carrying today.

Haha true that!What's a gasket?![]()
Haha true. At least it's just the watery yellow mustard type and not the chunky Dijon!I don't know about all that but you've clearly got too much mustard in there.
Yeah that's a good idea on the anti-seize. I kind of forgot about that stuff until you mentioned it. Maybe I'll think about getting some. Yeah, I'm just paranoid with gaskets. I've never been much into doing car work and when I was a teenager I put a new valve cover gasket on my truck due to a pretty big oil leak. I only put RTV (I forget which type) on one side of the gasket and it leaked immediately after getting it all put together. That day I vowed to always do both sides. But maybe it's better without any at all. It's just one of those things I think. Thanks for the input.Nice job.
I do not put anything on gaskets. The gasket should form the seal. I will put anti seize on bolts threads though, especially bolts that are exposed to ice melt and such.
Sometimes experience is the best teacher. I understand both sides. Slight imperfections in either surface can create a leak spot.Yeah that's a good idea on the anti-seize.
