You're a mean one, Mr Snark

bit of luck in finding them. bit of timing. bit of knowing what i wanted.

well, they weren't $5 but more like $50ish which seems damned reasonable. i wouldn't pay $200. well, maybe for a proper and clean six footer... already got one of those for $40 (wow!) and another for a bit more. not bad

they're sharp. they have all the teeth. the threads are clean. pretty sweet really.

sometimes i pay out the wazoo. can be worth it!

mostly, it's the hunt. lots of hunting.

then you find someone who has everything...

 

just downloaded the US Forestry care and feeding manual, and 14 videos on same, all the various esoterica.

Got my 64oz Beckerhead growler ordered. 13.4" tall .... Ill need another hand to carry it

A lot of long island ice tea can fit in that.....

 

Power just went out. Strange, as it's not stormy or even particularly windy.....thank goodness I have plenty of lights and can make fire. Pity is that the fire would have to be outside.....MAN, I need an indoor firepit.

 

Just read this about those growlers... http://www.snewsnet.com/press-relea...ome-out-on-top-in-recent-brewery-field-tests/

Im excited. Hell i can even keep my regular tea cold all day while working and not have to keep going upstairs to get a cold drink. Awesome stuff.

 

but you might need a second one to pee in...

I recommend labels that you cannot mistake even after the beer growler is empty. do not rely on smell alone.

 

Real men piss on the ground.

 

:thumbup: See, this guy gets it!!

Me and Neko pissed on the same hydrant today

 

And then mop an de-ordorize when their wives find out!

Guyon, I love the DFly2 in that combo. Pix when it shows!

 

I like hickory a lot, even when it's "plain". A couplefew years ago some dude had a bunch of quarter-sawn hickory blocks with pretty decent curl to it for sale... if I had any brains I would have bought it all up. As I recall I spent the money on something stoopid like the mortage payment and groceries instead

 

Nothing like a good piece of hickory.

 

It sucks when you're up at 1:30 and can't go back to sleep.....

 

Went out for a winner hike on Saturday and found that my favorite spot was logged..

 

Thanks bud, I got home from work yesterday and went straight to bed :thumbup: feeling a little bit better today.

 

That sucks Nix :thumbdn:

 

Hey who got their RBK early???

 

No RBK, but I did get my 5 back which was an added bonus for the hike. It was planned with my girlfriend and I'm happy that my 5 was back in time.

 

Havent seen Ray around in a while. Hope everything is going well with him.
