For a long time, I've carried my LBS Umnumzaan. It's wonderful. Basically a one-knife kind of guy. And my large Sebbie was welcome on the occasional day that I carried it instead.
Then, I bought my TAD Dauntless Mk3 and finally put it in my pocket and carried it out of the house this morning. It dutifully performed its first and primary duty, and lived up to its fearsome reputation...
I CUT, in half, my bacon, egg and cheese biscuit from McDonald's. It worked excellently, cleaving effortlessly thru those little piggy slivers and chicken (egg) and Wisconsin? cheese like nobody's business. I even used it to spread my Strawberry jam on the top (bare) half of the biscuit. Senior coffee...Ahhhh. Lascivious Living? You bet. Nothing's too good for me on my birthday. I sat right there, crunching on that sandwich and reading my Barnes & Noble Nook book "The Racketeer" by Grisham.
That part all went okay. On the other hand...to illustrate Murphy's Law and my seriously-advanced age... yesterday I dropped my brand new iPad mini on my nice tile floor; didn't hurt the floor one bit. $185 from now, I'll be able to use my iPad again. And then...this morning...upon leaving McD's, I stuck my Nook into the hip pocket of my Levi's, and got into my car and heard this mysterious "craaack" coming from my posterior section. Yep, another broken e-reader.
I'm finally in tune with what they mean...when they say..." an Apple a day..."
Caught heck from my wife when I got home...she said I'm getting old. Darn it; can't fool her 'bout nothing.
