I propose a truncation policy for mid-week holidays.
All remaining weekdays are paid days off.
What say you?
Will someone second the motion?

I talk to ya, ya old fart. ;) :D

Had a nice time yesterday evening. Went to the father in laws, had a bunch of family over, and by God, I didn't have to grill for the first time. Don't get me wrong, I love to grill, but not when it's 100° out. ;)
 
Took a short trip yesterday with Christina, her daughter and her two nieces. Only about a 3.5 mile trip because it was her daughters first time paddling her own kayak.

Found the Eagle's nest about 1/2 mile in. No eagles in it, we'd see them later fishing though.

The river was very calm and low.

The girls went swimming, but I found a recently downed tree to beat Derek's Sheila against.

We spotted a Barlow Naval aircraft carrier on expedition. No squids aboard though, they must have been on shore leave.

Tater guns are standard armament on light cruisers. That's a carrier. The buzzards are all airborne just looking at the pic.
 
I was just cleaning out my truck.... And I realized something. Between the guns, ammo, knives, tools, gear, food and water I have in there...I could probably rebuild civilization.

I always keep a overnight bag in there, and a sweatshirt and a coat.
I have always believed in keeping a lot of basics in my vehicles. I keep First Aid, Enough water to fill a radiator or live off of for a couple days, usually some snacks and a few packs of Ramen, always a firearm and ammo (at least one), a couple knives, the tools and spare parts to fix most small things on my truck or to do field repairs on about anything. An axe, bowsaw and shovel...lots of times a chainsaw too, 5 gallons of gas, jug of anti-freeze, few quarts of oil, jumper cables, tow-chain, ratchet straps... It's crazy how much junk I have behind the seat and in my toolbox!

what's even crazier (to me anyways) is I know TONS of people who dont have ANYthing in their rig..some are lucky to have the tools to change a flat tire!

Random Rambling, sorry LOL just was on my mind I reckon

Huh... wonder if I have the tools to change a flat... they would have come with the truck.
I do have my own bag of tools, tie-downs, etc., but have never pulled out and inventoried the stuff that came with the vehicle.

It should have a CRAPPY scissor jack, and a CRAPPY one-way. possibly an even worse FOLDING one-way lug wrench from the factory. I will not use factory tools to change a tire. I throw 'em away and use a good four-way wrench and a hi-capacity floor jack. Same with the spare, I won't have a donut, I carry a full-size spare.

I bet its a hickie!
 
I don't have quite that much in my car Ogre. However I do have a 3.5ton floorjack, chocks, a spare tire (a space saver of course), and a 4 way. I hate using the factory "space saving" tools. However the place I get my tires from has a no questions asked AAA type program. I can call them anywhere within a 300 mile radius and they will send out someone from the local store to come change my tire, take me back to the shop and put a new one on, free of charge. SO, I don't actually have to use my tools :D

I just put on a lanyard for my Scrapmax. I did a non-adjusting lanyard with knots for small, medium, and large hands. I used 3 different knots too just to have some fun.

I just got a sheath on the lil Warnie Todd, Been wanting to carry it since I got it but The Fang is too sharp to carry without protection! LOL

I kinda like how it came out, not what I had planned, but works! I like free-handing sheaths, just let the blade dictate the shape...refreshing change from making ''factory'' sheaths. I tried to make it as minimal as possible, Kinda wish I had some .60 kydex, but I don't think the .80 has enough more weight to notice without using a gram scale.


I will use it for a neck knife mostly, days like today when Im in a tshirt and shorts with no pockets, a neck knife really comes in handy! That's the only way I could carry a knife today, unless I clip a folder onto my waistband.
