That sucks. I wish there was more work out there. Thinking about talking to my father in law. He knows lotsa people.

I know that feeling. Even though not mainstream perhaps, my son was a paintball fanatic. He played semi pro speed ball. I'm still a few thousand in debt over that. He has 4 markers that were around $1,000 each. Wish that were a typo. Paint, at least at the time, was $60 per case of 2,000 rounds. He would go through 2 cases at a tournament. Plus the gas there and back, food, etc. Sure adds up quick.

Hope you find work soon brother. Hope I do too...

hang in their m00ses and other suches...

my dad had a simple thing going on: if you want it bad enough, work for it. work hard. make money. get out there. if you're showing good hustle, he'd do what he could to help out., which sometimes meant working continuous double shifts for a while, to do the deal. we appreciated it, and worked all the harder outselves, so we could have him around more - bought my first computer that way, $100 short, so he pitched in, and quietly kept his mouth shut on my wasting my time on a toy ;) [which is now my career, go figure] unfortunately, he didn't have good collections of anything really worth $$$$ to sell to push, esp in the hard times we had, so, a lot of things never happened, until i could make them happen, decades later, as an adult.

good on ya guys and gals that do what it takes to help out the kids.

which also reminds me: i have a lot of stuff, some of it valuable, some of it not, but i should consolidate, yet again. esp *BOOKS* that i don't need. read and give away. too many references (must keep!), lots and lots of fluff. many other things are just usables and supplies. they'll get used and gone. don't need to hoard soap for instance, but throwing it out it nuts. oh well :)

in other news, i used my trash picked fishing pole and caught some fish the other day. pretty radical. all blue gills. pretty boring really. i think it's time to hit some yard sales and find a less ghetto pole for $5, and move the reel over. maybe. or just not get into it. i *KNOW* i can catch fish, i just don't need to.
 
Remember not to cut yourself guys, you need blood for all those important bushcraft skills...Like staying alive.
 
got this in the mail last week. My daughter and I threw it at a target for a couple of days. Worked great so I decided to mod some. I sharpened a few more surfaces and did a little polish!
Becker content:)

How good of a chopper is that one? Or is it mostly a skull cracker
 
Spending mother's day in the hospital. The kid ran into the bedroom door this morning in the dark. The edge. Was sleepy all day and threw up. So far the diagnosis is sever concussion, but we are waiting for official cat scan results to make sure there is no bleeding. Hour 4 commencing.
 
Upped my game this weekend. Traded the 3gal jug of water I've been putting in my pack for workout hikes for a 40lb bag of rock salt. Concrete blocks are next.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm gonna be scarce for a while.

Damn clich, that sucks. Hope the little guy is okay.

Will be thinking of you let us know how he is doing.
 
Clich, smoke and prayers sent. Take solace, them little ones are tougher'n hell.

BRL, you's a bad mofo. Good luck on your hikes.

Thanks guys. We just left the observation unit and the final diagnosis is a severe concussion. No bleeding. Thank god. To be honest I didn't think he smacked it that hard. He woke us up at like 530 and being mothers day I got out of bed and said lets go down stairs to let mommy sleep, he got excited and turned to run down the hall and ran right into the open door. He cried but was over it in like 30 seconds. Not until later when he was acting sleepy, slurring, and began to vomit did we realize something was wrong. Of course neither the wife or I can take off work tomorrow either ti be with him. I'm up for a promotion that I don't want to.jeopardize by calling off, and she is playing unit manager tomorrow since her boss is off. Man life really gets in the way of what's really important.

Havn't chopped with it yet, I kinda just bought it to throw! Just to learn something new! I'll have to check out its chopping ability and maybe do a compare ,Bk9 vs Bk4vs hawk. I'll let you know.

Brother, if I was closer, I'd help you out. You can try to overnight early AM delivery, with return postage, I'll make sure he has good time. :D

I would hope an employer wouldn't hold "I need to watch my child with a severe concussion for a day" against you. Especially with discharge paper proof. Hope he gets better soon....having a hurt little one sucks.
 
On a lighter note....here's a pic of what is coming mid-week to a cliched Potbelly masterpiece near you (really, near ME) :

Normally I wouldn't invest in bling like this, but Clich did such a good job, the factory handles insult the knife.

You'd be surprised. I work for a religious non profit collection of nursing homes and I've never seen an eviler place. I want out after I complete school but I want to get a title in the financial sector just for my resume since the job market is so tough. I'm up for purchasing manager. so I'm just trying to keep my nose clean. any little thing can give those that may not find me as awesome as I am, fuel to deny what is rightfully mine.

Hmmm. Usps has been losing my stuff as of late, and ups is a bit steep. Although if I can ninja train him to loot the secret knife caches you got around Tennessee it may just be worth it :D
