A Midsummer Night's Snark

[Jerry D.]

I could use my San-Mai, my Camillus, my Ka-Bar with the coating, my Ka-Bar without the coating, or my Serrated. Or I could use my Hornet, or my Daizee 85%, or my Daizee 100%, or my Magua, or my 15, or my other 15, or my 16, or my Saber 16, or my 16/7, or my 17, or my Tracker-2, or my Jerry Hossom Caper, or my Ka-Bar USMC Short, or any of my Bark Rivers, or any of my Ver Steeg blades... Maybe I should carry ALL of them in and see.

It'll be thread worthy, that's for sure! I arbitrarily picked the san mai for Becker content AND because I still really want one.

Hmmm... Then you could post foodie pics of using said grill after its prepurchase inspection.

I had to beg and plead to get my San-Mai, it's kind of my pride and joy 11 too. It's sitting in an Azwelke cross draw pancake sheath.

Yeah, just found it, way down on the page

You should start a thread espousing the virtues of PM101 and his knife designs. I swear nothing gets Dex riled up and posting faster than one of those…[emoji6]

Haha! That'll work!

I exchanged emails with Dex last week about a parkerizing job. (need to figure out what I really want to do). He's busy working, plus he had a temp night job come available, so if he wasn't working at home, he's working at work or he was sleeping and not chatting away with the rest of us reprobates.

Ok cool. Glad he's ok. Now where the heck is Slice?!

She's a big girl. A 50 year old, 20' female Great White shark, believed to be the largest ever filmed:

Her names Deep Blue. She's actually pregnant as well.. I like how those dudes think they're safe in that cage!

oh man, i sprained my banning finger on that one..

You'd never ban me Braidpipe. You enjoy my ridiculous antics WAAAY too much!

"Aluminium oxide is responsible for the resistance of metallic aluminium to weathering. Metallic aluminium is very reactive with atmospheric oxygen, and a thin passivation layer of aluminium oxide (4 nm thickness) forms on any exposed aluminium surface.[7] This layer protects the metal from further oxidation. The thickness and properties of this oxide layer can be enhanced using a process called anodising."

Haha! You spelled 'aluminium' correctly!

Oh, and Guyon, midsummer nowadays commonly means "days in the middle of summer" - so late July/early August should qualify just fine.
But back in Shakespeare's day, it meant Summer Solstice. In fact, if I recall correctly (I was having trouble staying awake) when I saw the play they actually made reference to it taking place on the Solstice.

I saw a rendition of A Midsummers Night Dream back in high school. My English class took a bus trip up into the hinterland behind the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane. The play was performed in the rainforest. At night. During a storm. Atmospherics was off its lid. Most I've ever enjoyed Shakespeare..

We went out last night to watch the meteor shower around midnight. Saw 4 in about 15 minutes, called it a night, haha. One we saw had a brilliant tail.

I saw two around 4:00am Wednesday morning, last night I was inside all shift. Tonight I have a truck but it's really cloudy and there's a good deal of light polution in this area. I think the comet that made this one is supposed to come back around in about three years.

I remember going outside to watch a meteor shower when I was younger. Laid a mattress on the roof of the folks station wagon. Was asleep in about 10 minutes. Woke up about 3 hours later, rolled over and saw the entire sky light up. One hit the atmosphere that must've been a monster. It left a huge trail in the sky that lasted for ages. That made my night. Rolled over and went back to sleep..

Few years back I just happened to see one that must have been close, in relative terms. Seemed like it took forever for it to come down and I could see the flames coming off it and when it burst I could see the fragments scatter. That was cool.

I hate pre season football games.
I'm so ready for the regular season.

 

[Chameleonbear]

I was quite happy with today's results! Of course it was pre-season so it doesn't count for anything really. Plus it was the FIRST preseason game at that!

I was facebook stalking Steve Johnson and came across this and I gotta say, HOLY EPICNESS! This is almost EXACTLY the trip I wanted to take! Made me want to even more now!

I guess you killed the site ... when I clicked on it, I got a message that the owner of the site had exceeded his bandwidth allowance.

 

[Chameleonbear]

OOPS! I just read the entire blog, took 16 days and went from Ky to Cali to Washington to Ky. Several stops along the way but it looked epic!

Sounds like what I carry I carry in my car bag.... snark.

I seen a few shooting stars the other night around... 3am or so... Didn't know about the shower though... And wasn't sure if they were real.... Or simply a side effect... Lol

Morning all.

I believe they said it peaked at around 3. I wanted to stay up, but get up at 5:30 for work.

Dang dude if you were seeing that sort of detail it must've been CLOSE! Super cool hoss!

And it will be sharpened right up, wrapped in some custom kydex then sent to me, right Julio?

 

[Guyon]

Thanks for the "midsummer" notes, guys, but if you'll read the verse, you'll see this thread is a lark/snark. In other words, welcome to Ten-Uh-Sea midsummer.

Hope everyone is doing well this morning! Yesterday had a bit of a commotion, the kids and I were out playing, my son (2) climbed up on his play set then immediately started screaming his foot was on fire. Ran over to him and noticed a yellow jacket fly away, grabbed him, sweeped his legs with my hands and we ran to the house and had two more fly away from him. Got both kids inside and those yellow sobs had stung his poor legs about 6 times. He kept screaming his legs were on fire, put some baking soda paste on the bites, medicated, and probably within less than a minute of application the tough little guy was back to normal. Kept telling me it was all better, regardless and because of the number of stings and other things I took him to the doc. By the time we were in the office the dang stings were gone, completely, doctor couldn't even find them.... So I waited till dark, mixed up a concoction of all sorts of mean, nasty, terrible, and ugly things (soapy water and bug poison) and got vengeance on those yellow flying sobs for him.

True to your name!

Haha! Yep, I guess I could have stopped when I put all their heads on mini pikes to act as a warning to other biting insects then wrote their mama's dirty letters, but restraint isnt one of my strengths.

 

[bigghoss]

Dang jerks. Always building nests where they don't belong and then they come after you for using your own stuff. I mean, I leave a car parked on my lawn for just a few months and I gotta use up my whole can of starting fluid before I can even pop the hood. Or WD40 or whatever. I've even used Simple Green, I think kool-aid would kill those weak punks.

I am seriously hooked on this game Fallout Shelter.
