I am there and thanks for the chance. I have some new profiles that I am working on and any of those would look great as handle material!
I keep my 19 month old grandson for my daughter and her husband so she can get Bachelors in nursing. He often plays and sits on my lap while I read through the various forms each morning.
My daughter told me the other day he was spending too much time with Pop as the first thing he wants to do when he is helping his Mama with unloading the dishwasher is go for the knives.
I laughed and told her he is trying to tell you a dishwasher is no place for a good knife!!!

The World's Greatest Guacamole - my own original recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 bag - blue corn chips
- 4 just-ripe avocados
- 1 handfull of mini heirloom tomatoes, juiced, seeded and chopped.
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- 1 fresh, large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (only include the seeds if you like it REALLY spicy, otherwise remove the seeds before chopping the outer portion)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (MUST be fresh), chopped
- Celtic gray sea salt to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle flavored tobasco sauce.
- Optional: 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce.
- And this is the absolute KEY ingredient: fresh squeezed citrus (about the juice of one orange or so) - NOT lime or store bought sour lemon. I prefer sweet meyer lemon, tangerine, or a fancy orange like blood orange.
Steps:
1) remove the juice and seeds from the tomatoes.
2) chop what's left of the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and fresh cilantro and throw together into a large bowl.
3) thinly cut the avocado in the skin into 1/4" squares and the scoop the chunks into the bowl - DO NOT mash the avocado into a paste the way they do elsewhere, keep it sized at about 1/4" chunks.
4) add the salt, black pepper, chipotle sauce
5) cut your chosen citrus in half and squeeze the juice out directly into the bowl You can use a screen or colander to keep the seeds out.
6) Stir well without bruising it too badly.
7) Eat!
Thanks for the chance!

I have a 4 year old boy who loves to "whistle." He can't really whistle, he just squeaks, but he thinks it's whistling. A couple months ago he was sick and lost his voice and we heard him crying in his room so we went in to see what was wrong. He was crying because his "whistle" was broke. A couple days later he was all excited and ran in saying, "Dad! The ants fixed my whistle!" and squeaked his whistling sound. He was so excited and we were quite confused as to the ants he mentioned. We asked him about it and he said, "You know, the black ants we have in our heads to fix our whistles!" very matter-of-factly. A couple weeks later he fell in the kitchen and got a bump on his head and my wife made the mistake of calling it a goose-egg, so after that he went around talking about his goose egg and how when it hatches he hopes the goose that will be in his head won't eat all the ants because then who'll fix his whistle?
Saturday, April 10 will be my 25th wedding anniversary.
I met Joyce when I was tending bar and one of our regulars said she had a friend who wanted to meet me. A very pretty young girl sat down at the bar and ordered a kamikazee straight up. I served her the drink. She tossed it back and ordered another. I delivered that one and turned away for just a second to set the first glass down behind the bar. When I turned back the girl had disappeared like a puff of smoke. I quickly looked around then leaned over the bar and looked down to see her lying on her back laughing.
Although all the seats looked the same because they were once all tall chairs with a back some had suffered collateral damage over time and had no backs and were used as stools. She had forgotten that her perch had no back and leaned back right onto the floor. She was unhurt and obviously a good sport.
We married exactly one year later.
She was 18 and I was 35 years old.
Predictions as to how long we'd last together ran from a week to about 6 months.
25 years later I still tell people that I couldn't help but marry a girl who really fell for me the first time we met.
Thanks for the chance to score some really nice wood...25 years after my wife first did!

The data track on a CD is a very long spiral. If it were unwound and laid out in a straight line, it would be over 3.5 miles long.

Man please include me. I've only been making knives now for two years and have gave them all away except three. I've spent a considerable amount on tooling to get those three knives. It would probably been alot cheaper to just buy three knives. My biggest fear is if something happens to me and my wife sells my stuff for what I've told her I paid for it!

Count me in too.
Something interesting? Hmmm...well, I am an Eagle Scout...received my award in 1995. I joined Scouting after all my friends and was the only one from that group to make Eagle.
I am also working on a show truck that, in it's project phase, was pictured for a major world-wide publication (Mini Truckin') 2 months in a row. First month was a 1/3 page shot, next month was a full 1/2 page with my truck only. I also had an online magazine do a full feature shoot at a car show with written article.

Needless to say I'm in considering I have an addiction to wood. I'm going to stray a bit from posting something interesting to read and instead will post a short you tube link for, what I think, is an interesting and thought provoking YT clip. I've seen it on several occasions and think it always gives me something to think about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJE_Ld-UyCk

Sweet blocks of wood there.

Under traditional Jewish divorce law (still practiced in Israel). A woman must have her husband's permission to divorce him. An old cheating, wife beating, Cuss of a man, can with hold divorce from his wife for ever. If the wife moves on to another man, and has children while still technically married to her old husband (that same cheating cuss of a man), her children, and grandchildren (every generation forever) will be stigmatized under that same Jewish Law, and in a a Traditional community, they can never get married.
I am not jewish, but just thought that was interesting.
