No way. The last time I got into a post count race with The Guyon, he showed me the fine points on how to use a BK7.

Careful there, Dubz. USPS is still a governmental agency on last check - which means if you trash them too much they may decide to prove you correct and "disappear" your parcel.....

In on 10, where the fun doth begin.
In on seven.
I'll be back at eleven.
A not-cheap solution to that problem is to order a knife every day. Then you should receive a new knife just about every day.
Shoulda gone with GSO. From what I understand, he could probably find you whatever you need. And if he can't Weaponeer can probably pick up any slack.
In on seven... where... I can't find a good rhyme

Well I just ordered a gun part from a guy on a forum where I am the nooby and I got a ripped envelope in the mail with no part

For the person who lives or works on the 11th floor or higher.... (or can get to one in the event of a fire)

Me, I'd rather just have my rappelling harness, CMC 8-ring (designed by Ethan) and a long rope. In fact, I always kept a rope (and sometimes a harness) in one of my desk drawers that was long enough to reach the ground from the roof of whatever building I was working in if it was over 2 stories high.

Looks like a pleasant evening. Now, down about a couple dozen more of those brews and get out there and make some poor decisions!

Id rather have one of batman's grappling guns and spiderman's web ability.
I like having a backup in those type situations.
Even then id be scared to jump off a building. I have this problem with heights. Not being up high, or getting high, but jumping off anything high is a no-go for me.
I use to work on those big wind turbines. And the main type i worked on was Sieman's 1.3MW turbines. And unlike the GE 1.5 wind turbines the Sieman's completely open up at the top while your working on them. With the GE your enclosed in a box up top and its not so bad. But on a windy day up in a Sieman 1.3MW turbine it can get a little scary.
It was a cool job though. Good money and lots of fun times. We use to throw paper airplanes from the top behind the wings and have contests whose airplane would go the furthest.

I have a Suunto( not sure which model) that I bought in the Corps. Great compass, I honestly didn't start using it until I became a civilian though. I used the issued lensatic compass for all of our land nav and ops. A great compass, bit pricey maybe, but tough as hell.

Actually the USPS is a private corporation, it just has congressional oversight and funding I believe. Which honestly doesn't make THAT much sense cause if I remember correctly it was one of the few government agencies that wasn't a mooch.

Yes and no... it was actually pretty freaking inconvenient for both me and my clients to wait till after Christmas for the stuff that was ready weeks earlier... but... I did it on purpose because it was pretty clear that those shipments would have been FUBAR anyway. Sad, but true...
Right on! I think next year, I will just announce a policy to not ship anything between the 2nd week of November and the 1st of the year. It just ain't worth the headaches.

Because the guy you bought it from is a cheapskate and a moron? Packaging that sort of thing is not exactly rocket science, and it costs maybe $1-2 more to do it right. :grumpy: (ETA... I notice this topic has already been addressed...)
Oh, you mean that new-ish "semi-custom" knife "company" that sold some half-vast semi-finished knives in a flurry of marketing BS, and then took in a boatload of pre-paid pre-orders for more, but can't deliver anything several months later, despite continuing to accept pre-paid pre-orders and market new crap that also doesn't exist? Yeahhh... that guy sucks.
Oops, did I say that out loud?

If you can keep the office off my back until mid-April I can probably clear my backlog AND start some new projects!

I think he meant the new guy that has been hanging around here GSO with some numbers. He is Weaponeer's friend I believe. Did a give away for a bunch of seasonings.
PLUS I think the GSO knives are actually by Survive Knives. Which are HORRIBLE in my opinion. Granted this was ONLY my opinion.

I don't mind waiting till you get back from your next tour. That will give me the time to get the money together to pay you!

actually that's the only one I've got.
I picked up the usual Guinness 4-pack, and then mixed a six from the extensive SORTED WALL of singles. Five are stouts plus the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. I'm still on my search for a domestic stout I can interchange with guinness. I'd be a regular Butternuts drinker, but can't seem to get the Moo Thunder stout locally outside the variety pack. This Wolavers is very good. Also, apparently Narragansett shipped 2000 cases of their new Autocrat Coffee Stout to the state (it's brewed in NY despite the historical origin). My local place got 25, which sold out in 3 days. I should grabbed it when I saw it there. There won't be any more until they brew another batch. It's crazy, this old producer of crappy light lager suddenly decided to put out some really solid product. Their Bohemian Pilsner is frickin' excellent. Also happens I met the brewer of some of their new stuff, as '71Commando (RnRK&T) built a bunch of the brewing gear up at one of the brewpubs that 'gansett's new brewer also works at. Now if only they'd move production back to RI and bring some jobs... Anyway: not your daddy's 'gansett.
