I think that he'll be 49 in August? That, chronologically speaking, is not terribly old but I don't know about his physical or mental "age". Maybe Mr. G is correct 🤷‍♂️

In other news, word has it that my lil big bro Fonedork Fonedork almost managed to alter everyone's (or at least someone's in particular) metal state yesterday eve 🤦‍♂️ I'm so proud of you Eric 🤣

.....I may have done the same with some beer lol
 
We did a hell of a good job at that sir hahahaha

We should've taken all the beer in that cooler!!!!

(I had another in my truck I didn't even get into at blade!)


Good lord




Peter's heat treat took us to dinner on Saturday night. We went to the Stony Creek restaurant. I like the steak there.

Our reservation was for 7:00 and we were seated immediately

They took our order around 8:00

Our food showed up around 9:00 maybe?

I can't remember exactly but it seems like it was around 10:00 when we finally left

They were not exactly Johnny on the spot getting us drinks either

Fortunately I had three beers hidden in my man purse so I just drunk those

I wasn't even being a cheap bastard. Hell I wasn't buying. But damn, if I want a beer and I'm sitting there with no beer and I have a beer in my man purse, I'm going to drink that beer, and they can kiss my ass.
 
Whew, that was an awesome weekend at Blade! Twice it looked like I wasn't going to make it to Atlanta- almost never got on to the flight- I was the last call before the check-in/baggage drop counter shut down 🙄. Land at Atlanta and then get a frantic call- my cousin was rear ended , car was totalled but he got off without any apparent injuries. For a few minutes, I thought I was flying right back, till events became clearer.
As far as the CPK team goes- always welcoming and a very chill and fun crowd to hangout with.
And now we have to talk about yoko yoko - don't know how he does it, but if 5 people in a crowd finish their beers at the same time, they will all have fresh cans in their hands within 30 secs. Marines pinned down in a firefight have thought- what I wouldn't give for...and before the thought is finished, a cold one magically appears. The Greatest Beer Run Ever was probably about yoko yoko .
Fonedork Fonedork and D dericdesmond - never a dull moment.
So many other folks I met Mike157 Mike157 PolRoger PolRoger Not_Lefty Not_Lefty (am sure I missed a few more) , makers and others in the industry - all gracious with their time.
Much thanks to CPK for the huge spread of knives on the table ! Those pigstickers and reapers 😍

What kind of man purse? Been considering some additional mobile packing space.

I can't remember off the top my head any details. It was a gift from Mark. I'll unpack my shit tomorrow and see if I can get you some better info.
