Glad to hear this! You definitely have to have your paperwork in order to fight that sort of nonsense. As much as it sucks, when you're talking about "real money" (which I define as any amount that would actually affect the way I live this week or beyond, ie. messing with my bourbon fund), you gotta have backup. And that means lawyers and bureacrats and a stack of documents.

Bosses, banks, landlords, insurance scum, car dealers, real estate agents, taxmen... most are all the same. They don't design anything, they don't actually make anything, they have no ideas or real skills or frankly any value to society at all other than pushing paper around and making the numbers come up right every quarter. You just have to assume from the beginning that their job is to get rich on your blood, sweat and tears. They like it, and they're good at it. They get lots of practice.

Most (not all, but much) of the time, when these rats are trying to screw you, they know very well that they're not just wrong but illegal, and will often back down pretty quick when they see that you're onto their game... if you're willing and know how to jump through the right hoops. Most people have no idea how to fight back when they're getting hosed by these parasites, and they're counting on that.

Although, I totally understand the appeal of a good right jab to the snoot :D Problem is, these type nitwits have lawyers too. They're not gonna stand toe-to-toe and duke it out with you like kids on a playground or a couple guys in a bar parking lot, they're gonna have you locked up and come after everything you own and ever will own. :grumpy:

I hear that. There was an employee there around 5-7 years ago that sued them for discrimination. I never did hear the details, but they were eager to settle out of court. They would rather do that than have bad publicity.
 
On a lighter note, I got my California Buckeye Burl scales in from Skystorm today. Freakin sweet:

Smooth as silk:

The reverse. I put clear danish on the back of one, to see what it would look like. You can tell the diff. It looks like the front has been finished before with something, and I'm a little hesitant to put the danish on front:

Got a hell of a deal on them, hard to pass up. I like some of the wood scales out there, some I don't. I thought these looked bad ass. :thumbup:
 
I think i just found me a new wedding band....its titanium and contains a saw and handcuff shim pick combination tool which is completely hidden from view when worn. I was looking for a titanium band but this is super cool and under 80... not sure how effective it is for handcuffs but it would at least cut zip ties and rope. No one ever removes your wedding band....

Just read some review where the guy test the ring out with handcuffs, zip ties and duct tape he says opening the handcuffs was easier than cutting zip ties but he was able to get out of everything he tried, although he did need to practice a little with handcuffs before he could do it. pretty cool i think. i doubt id use it in a real escape situation but i could have a lot of fun betting people at get togethers i could escape (whatever) .... A good bar trick too.... free drinks are more yumm.
 
apparently there's a simple trick with paracord to get out of even the mega mega zipties

there's also an IMPULSE SMASH trick that works, but you have to commit to it, and it HURTS and more than likely will cause damage to you, also loud, but you're OUT.

just don't get CAUGHT evading the police by removing your cuffs, apparently they get extra beatful about that :>
 
Woke up at 3 today and it was 87 degrees outside..........glad I took the tarp of the central a/c this morning before I went to bed. Even with the heat and the windy as heck days we have, the lake is still covered in ice. I do suspect it will be gone soon tho.

I live in a trailer court and a new company bought it a few years ago and have been implementing more and more stupid rules. Last night my gf went outside for a smoke and there was a bag hanging on the door with some papers in it. All of a sudden they are requiring anyone with a dog over 30lbs to sign and indemnification form and are required to provide proof of homeowners insurance.......by Wednesday or face eviction!! I don't even have any homeowners.........always figured I should get some just in case, but being forced to pisses me off. I'm going to sign their form and give it to them tomorrow, but they can kiss my ass on the insurance until I have time to get to it. 2 days notice to what I would call a change of contract is ridiculous if not illegal. I was planning on buying a house in the next 3-4 years, but it looks like I might have to set my goal to a little earlier.
 
My son has me brimming over with fatherly joy. I was browsing the Becker pic thread and he wanted in my lap to look at them too, I told him it was a knife and he said "I want knife, big one!", he is 2 :)

so proud.
 
Awesome man! Kids can make a man feel like no other that's for sure.

The other day my son came in and seen me messing with a few blades and with a ton of excitement he yells... BIG CUTS... I LIKE IT... he called the knives "cuts" it was too cute.

I went up there, after I calmed down a bit. As my wife said, they really didn't give me any info. I told the guy at the service desk that I wanted to talk to the store manager, and the guy called him over the walkie, told him that "There's a guest here that wants to see you. It's Kathy's husband". It was fun to see her boss walk around the corner and see me. He's never met me before. He was a nervous wreck, haha, the little bitch. I was reasonably cool about the whole thing. To be honest, it's almost a relief for the both of us. I had to hear about this shit for a year, and she had to put up with their BS for a year. We stopped by unemployment. She has been documenting this shit for a year now. We/she decided to not go see a lawyer earlier, because they hadn't actually done anything, until now. So she's going to go see one pronto.

Were you wearing your murder harness? :D

Sorry to hear about all that, Dubz. It does sound screwy, hope you can get it all straightened out for the best.
 
Murder harness not needed, and thanks man, appreciate it.
 
I thought you should have worn it, but I recall you saying you dont have it anymore.
 
WW -- get one of those portable air horns for boating.
they're abot $3 at Wally.
when the dog starts up, give it a honk from inside the house through an open window.
it'll spook bad and figure out what's up pretty quick.
otherwise, hotdogs stuffed with benadril or shot up with valerian extract are magic -- and cheap.
