NIB Camillus BK-11 on the bay right now. There were two, I bought the lower priced one.

Anyone looking for one, there it is.

An elderly couple was at home watching TV.

The husband had the remote and was switching back and forth between a fishing channel and the porn channel.

His wife became more and more annoyed and finally said: “For god’s sake, Leave it on the porn channel. You know how to fish!”
 
gsom, those scales look really good, kinda like a brindle dog coat. That saber 11 is tempting, but I think I'll pass. I have to challenge myself NOT to buy knives until I have sold some.
 
So, had back problems this morning so headed to the hospital. Got some anti-inflammatory meds and muscle relaxers.

Now watching the Stihl Timbersports Competition on ABC...
 
I like the lumberjack axe competitions more than the chainsaw cutting comps. But still kinda cool. I was gonna watch it but didn't wake up til almost 5 today. Sundays are usually like that for me. Sleep all day so I can get caught up then up all night.
 
That reminds me that I need to work on my chainsaw.


I'm thinking about cutting up a few slabs of wood and planing them down. I'd like to make myself a cutting board or two.
 
While going on a quick late afternoon fishing trip, wheeling out to the pond I broke my front U joint. Fun!

With the help of my BK-11 a gatoraid bottle and some 550 cord I was able to tie my front driveshaft up and out of the way to be able to wheel out in 2 X GO!

I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

An elderly couple was sitting on their porch on evening when suddenly the wife leans over and punches the husband in the face with everything she's got. After the husband regains his composure he asks "What the hell was that for?!?"
"That's for 30 years of bad sex!" barks the wife.
The husband thinks about this for a second and then punches his wife so hard he knocker her out of her chair. When she comes two she asks what the punch was for.
The husband snaps back "That's for knowing the difference!!!"

D'oh!!
But Clever!
 
So my weekend was ok... Started out with chopping wood, made a few kydex presses, got some stuff lined up for the gathering....then I got on FB and read something horrible about a friend from school... I'm a little disgusted over the whole thing and can't believe he violated code of trust between a coach and a player... Dudes 38 and shes 15... It drives me up the wall when I go out with my daughter and all these older guys rubber neck on her and jaw drop as they look... I yell at them, hey shes14 you perv... And they instantly look the other way... Sorry but I had to rant

BTW....if someone gets there tonight, make sure Ethan has found the package on his porch and unpacked the cooler for stuff to defrost...

That package was found, and very much appreciated. Also, 710 sent along some awesome goodies. Thank you both very much :)

In addition to y'all's generosity, and Ka-Bar kicking in some fun stuff too, and also those rascally canuckians giving away some cool gear, something truly profound happened during the giveaway/door-prize thing Saturday night.... but it's not for me to tell. For now, just take my word for it; it was really, really cool. Let's just way it was the sort of thing that really drives home the concept of community and friendship. :thumbup:

I did not even come close to winning the chopping competition at the Gathering (honestly, I barely finished; but I blame Derek for talking smack and making me laugh), but I didn't place last, either. However, I did cut the hanging rope clean on the first try with my old-school modded 1217. Fun stuff right there ;)

In other news, you might be surprised how many Beckerheads are willing - even eager - to eat scorpions and snails when they're not even hungry. :eek:

MacGyver! Luckily it was the front one....

Fixed a snapped throttle cable once with duct tape and some wire I ripped off my stereo amp. That car was a POS. But we were halfway to the mountain to go night snowboarding, and the fix only took ten minutes, once I was able to idle into a gas station....I borrowed a pair of pliers from the kid attendant, who told me "you can't fix that!".....great look on his face when I tore rubber outta there 10 minutes later. I was actually tearing rubber all night, since I couldn't get it to idle much below 2500 rpm's after the throttle cable fix.

s that a re-handled fighting utility (KA-BAR or variant) or a knife you built from the ground up? Either way I really like it. :thumbup:

Factory blade that I put a handle on. Bought it from a mail-order company called "Atlanta Cutlery" in approximately late 1986. The sheath and handle material ("Pakkawood") cost a few bucks extra. I showed it to/asked Ethan about it this weekend, and he was reasonably certain the blade was made by Camillus. That thing has helluva lotta miles on it, and it has served me very well ;)
