Thomason and Friends,
Great picture of your Peanuts! Prety cool. Now, a True Peanut story. About 10 days ago, I was working the RNC. (Rep. Nat. Convention). On one of the nights, we were "guarding" the lot where the coach busses dropped off the delegates. Most of these busses were Prevosts.
One the drivers had just pulled in, unloaded his passengers, and then walked to the rear of his bus, looked in the engine compartment and started to dig in his pockets. Pretty soon he turned around and asked if "anyone has a knife I could use"? Most of my guys know that I carry different knives, so they joyfully pushed me to the front. I reached in my pocket, fully expecting to pull out one of my Bose Case Collabs, which I carry everyday, but guess I got dressed in a hurry, and didn't put a Collab in my pocket, but pulled out a Case 6220 Chestnut Bone with blued blades.
The driver looked at that "small" knife and then opened it up and started to cut a serpentine belt. I thought, "Oh no, there goes my Peanut"! A short time later he handed my Peanut back, all in one piece, and then pulled what seemed to me, 6 to 8 feet of belt off of numerous pullies! The CV blade really held its own! :thumbup:
I touched up the blade later on, but my Peanut is now worse for the wear.
