I had to run to the courthouse today and luckily remembered to give myself a pat-down  before I left my car.

I made that mistake before. I even patted down my pockets before walking in, but didn’t feel the Benchmade 940 in my pocket. The officer working the metal detector was nice enough, but pointed out that I had walked past 4 signs saying no weapons.

Still carrying the Large Sebenza. Not much has kicked it out of my pocket lately.

She is back to her normal self 😃

Well done sir. I have no excuses to not surpass my 7k daily average, thanks for the motivation and enjoy your walks! I’ll have to get a smart watch soon to properly track my fitness. That’s a great set of gear 😃

Thanks, Peter! I'm happy to report 7,427 steps so far today. I'm glad to hear Iris is feeling better! I like your choice for today's carry.

If I had a nickel for every time I had to leave my knife of the day with a security guard, while I was attending a meeting at a courthouse, prison or government office building, I'd have a lot of nickels.
I was a familiar visitor, so they extended me that courtesy. On occasion I'd have to go back to my car to put my KOTD in the glove compartment.

I was in line at Detroit Metro airport and realized there was a Spyderco in my pocket. Luckily was able to ease to a garbage can and let it go. Luckily not an expensive one but still frustrated me. Did not have a way to get it home as wife already left airport
 
New menem menem in the house ... thank you, Miro for another beautiful one !!!

Thank you, Gary! Since the weather has been nicer I’ve made an effort to get out and walk twice a day lately and that has been increasing my daily steps to over 12k+ on the days I go out twice. You just reminded me to get out and get my first walk in. I’ve had to run back to the car plenty of times to leave my KOTD in the glove too haha. Have a great evening! 😃
 
So, I lightly touched up the chain on the CS2258 last evening and powered through the remaining 21-foot plus of oak bole this morning. The saw's been running great, never bogging down through the dense, fresh oak, and my new sharpening method has made a huge difference in its performance.

Well over twenty years ago our younger sons, now in their mid-30's, threw one of the old ring chains from their rusted out swing play set up into the crotch of this tree. You can just see it in the third bolt from the right above and more clearly in the pic below, showing how much growth has occurred in that time.

Despite being infested by the gall wasps that decimated the Cape's black oaks around ten years ago, the tree, though seriously deformed and damaged, was still internally healthy, the wood is incredibly dense, moist, and the larger bolts were all but impossible to lift from the ground. We used J's Frontier, rolled the logs up one of my ramps into the bed, then drove around the house and backed up as tight as we could to the splitter.

More on topic, it was a Throwback Thursday as I went back to the Al Mar SERE 2000, continuing my appreciation of old school knives.

Threatening Thursday. I love this knife, nearly drop shut which is how I like it. Really a great mix of heavy duty but thin enough to be useful. A jack of all trades with great ergos and action. I'm surprised the 0095 wasn't more popular. To me, its one of the ladt good in-house designs by ZT. It's been in my rotation for 6 years, and have only needed to sharpen on medium stones once, and I use the ultra fine every so often to maintain its sharpness. I like S90V. Only issue was the hinderer style clip. I hate those.

I have some pretty colorful Micarta ones - trying to decide if I install these or the Ti ones...

EDIT - I laid the micarta scales on top of the knife and it really would look great. But, I also love the Ti scale I got, while looks great on my Neutron 2.
