I foolishly sold my BK9 August of 15, just received word the guy that bought
It from me will sell it back. I'm pretty excited to get it back. Just felt like I should share my happiness.

That's what I was thinking. The guy that is selling it back, has purchased a second one so he can sell me back my original. Pretty nice gesture I thought.

I was worried getting rid of the King would make my BeckerHead status disappear. I'm working to get it back. Poor life decisions mostly!! I've made a bunch of them.
 
are Randalls good? i think my uncle has a crate of them he's not using

Also curious. Do you do fountain pens, ball points, roller balls? Inquiring minds want to know.

mostly ball point twist pens, because the kits are easy to find at a reasonable price.
have also done kaleidoscopes, quilting "pens", beer taps, gardening dibbers, replacement handles for turning tools, seam rippers, etc...

Poor life decisions.....those are coming back to bite me in the ass, over and over and over. I never thought that after more than five decades on this planet I would end up where I am now - or become the person that I have. But, as Jim's Big Ego says, "that's karma, baby".
 
glass fountain pens and custom ink and special hand made paper.

anything can be fetishized :D

pick a hobby, or two, and stick with it.
 
Someone mentioned a polar vortex in a conversation I was part of today.

Just checked the weather map OY VEY!!!!! some of y'all are freezing!!!! I had no idea. Guess I ought to watch the news occasionally.

Stay warm people.

This has been a problem for me the entirety of my life....hobbies. Too many interesting things, too little time and $$. Also, without the dedicated focus of someone who picks ONE thing and concentrates on that, I am an absolute master of none - don't know if I'd even consider myself a "jack of all trades", really. Dilettante, perhaps.....I need to retire right now and have several clones made in order to learn and do what I dream of learning and doing.
.
.
.This, it occurs to me, is a sad realization about my life. Exacerbated by my job, which is sucking the life out of me - but pays the bills and keeps my family insured....hard to look for a job when one is working 50-60 hr. weeks and on call every 3rd....I have time now, of course - but I'm pretty sure I'd be persona non grata and the worst father/spouse ever if I fired up machinery at this hour. I keep thinking; this is not what my 50's were supposed to look like.
.
Sad, middle aged screed over. Please feel free to ignore this post.
 
I see you there, daizee.....

I have to pick and choose which ones I do and when I have time to do them. I have so many plans for when I buy my house. So many things, toys, and tools to fill up my shop. For now I'm content making knives and bending leather. Eventually I'll have all my motorcycles in one place and the cars and trucks I want then I won't know what to do. Hahaha
 
I don't even wanna start thinking about life choices and wrong turns... So... I won't...



I have the most awesome dog in the world. It's true. Others try and steal the title but just can't beat the awesomeness that is Battle.
 
Granitestateofmind, I know exactly what you are saying. I have a pretty darn decent paying job, that pays well enough I don't want to leave in fear of not being able to replace it. Dead end, too many different interests. Mediocrity is how I sum my life up. But in a good way.
 
Speaking of jobs, I got a call and a phone interview yesterday for the job I was saying I was applying for. Now I should be receiving a call from the local office this week to have a face to face interview. The only thing I'm not likeing about it so far, is that I could possibly be starting work at 3am if they offer me the job. I could deal with 5 or 6, but damn, 3 is early. I guess I'll see what happens.
