yup - they just announced tornado watches until 6PM.
storms are rolling across the NE part of the state again.

20 minutes after I hit send the sirens went off - a bunch of funnel clouds and a handful of tornadoes bounced around the KC metro area for an hour or so.
coworkers thought I was crazy for bringing my lunch bag to our "shelter in place" - until I opened it up and started handing out venison meatloaf sandwiches...
had a nice picnic on the 11th floor.

Reports of tornado damage and 15 injuries in Sedalia, MO. Funnel clouds, but nothing on the ground, here around Columbia. Past us now, headed east.
 
yup I saw that on the news right after it happened - while they were reporting on Sedalia they had to interrupt to report about Hardin and lafayette. I also heard a report there were 15 confirmed tornadoes between 11 and 2 out of this storm system.
 
Looks like its our turn again, too, lads. Storms a headin' this way, perhaps the plateau will calm them down. Good luck, ya'll.

Yeah, Moose ought to put up a sticky for a while: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/announcement.php?f=827&a=179
All these contest stickies will be coming down soon.
Not everyone keeps an eye on the top Announcement threads.
BTW, does this mean I can upgrade to SuperMod and get a free Remora? :D
 
We donated 100 BK13 Remoras to BFC for Gold membership drive. Anything we can do to help strengthen the community, we will do. Ya'll enjoy.

ETA, I guess it was 50. :D
 
Hey Moose, you hitting the Biscuitfest this weekend? I would like a picture of Miss Biscuit if you go. :D
Remember, you gotta' risk it if you want the biscuit.

I didn't know it was going on, but now that I do, I might have to go. Looks delicious.

Yeah, I post stuff in the wrong threads too.:)
 
man, i wish i had access to the new version of the becker patrol machete (if the design was tweaked from the camillus version though) & machax already - or even better the reinhardt kukri...i want to tweak the edge as i see fit. i'm going to do some serious chopper testing starting this weekend: esee lite machete, junglas, bear grylls parang, cold steel kukri, and condor parang (coming tomorrow).

gerber/bear grylls parang just delivered today. i can already see lots of haters' heart rates going up :eek: surprisingly, i've read a lot of good things about it...for $30 shipped, i'll find out for myself which ones are true.

check out the cold steel kukri i just got yesterday. it has an even softer finish than beckers - i was rubbing the sticker residue with alcohol and the coating literally was rubbing off :eek: it easily takes a wicked edge though and for $20, i'm impressed with the quick test i did today.
 
Well, the thing is: that was part of my EDC. My Necker also goes everywhere with me, too. What a great knife. Its small enough to fit in your hand, yet big enough to do some real tasks.
I wave awe man:(,HAVE my eyes on a new BK2 and was wondering where i can get one for little to no money. I am sure that you guys know, better than me, where to find one.
 
Tomar's has them for quite cheap. If that's too expensive, look for a used one. You're lucky to live in the US, I pay about $100 for a BK2 and $150 for a BK9 here.

You should work something our with someone in the states to buy the knife for cheaper, then you pay them on paypal and they ship it to you... Might be a little cheaper...
