You need to charge your phone... 35%.. not good 
And I always wanted to say, I always find it interesting to see a knife maker or up and coming knife maker purchase a knife from another maker... I think the message is (besides helping out your kind) that knife makers realize how long a knife takes to make and they can appreciate that time and effort more than none makers... I fiddle with steel and scale material, and I too have realized that to make it look nice takes quite a bit of time.
Time to medicate. OH! This is interesting: I haven't drank any liquor/beer/wine/hooch in almost 2 full weeks! ASMAZXING! lol I've only done this a few times since age 15... I even have a sixer in the fridge and 4 22s... Now I'm on a mission to keep alcohol out of me for a bit longer.. it really kills my immune system... BUT BEER IS DAMN TASTY
soon again lovely...
Can't wait for the 2 knives to show up later this week!
Annnnnd, we were in Bend for the past 4.5 days... did some sledding at Bachelor and DAAAAAMN in town it was 12F overnight, got over freezing 2 days barely... They opened up on Saturday for the half pipe and parkies... should be getting some stormy weather again in a week to dump on the hill... got my pass.. CHECK! go spank something! O_O

Good morning y'all.
Farchylds phone is at 35% from checking that tracking # so much . I hope you get it soon dude!
Xander , I know your wife is baking some good stuff ! Hook a bro up! haha
Sloth , I think you nailed it on the knifemaker's buying knives thing. I will add every maker has a different style and it is a appreciation of that also gets knife makers to buy others work.
I can't seem to shake this sickness 3 days and it is getting worse. Jen just called and is coming home from work. This would be the first time sense I known her that she has missed any work so she must feel pretty bad. Time to chill and watch movies. We have the Hobbit. It has knives and swords in it,right?
Take care Vato's

It has magical knives! Woo!
I usually let my phone die, then give it a full charge. I want to keep what battery life I got in this jobby!
I just started listening to The Silmarillion audio book while doing my routine at the gym. Its so confusing! So many names, and so many people changing their names or having multiple names in different languages!
I'm a Sys Engineer by profession, but I *hate* computers. People are often bossy no matter what their title says and I find it difficult to please everyone. Knifemaking has become a hobby and something for me to work on with my hands. Daniel has been the biggest factor in my personal progress that I could not be where I am without his advice and guidance. I tend to buy work that I like, and I tend to buy custom work by people I respect. I know this place isn't big on him, but I really enjoy Mick Strider. I have a custom SnG in VC20 of his that I adore and eventually someone close will inherit. Getting Daniels work in was only natural for me
Get better soon, FBC. I think I'm finally over my own small cold, which is great because I hate feeling down! Chug that OJ and take your vitamins! Get plenty of rest. Relaxing to the Hobbit should do you some good!

My fish died. 
he started showing a little improvement, had been treating him with myracin two, but it ended up not being enough. Sad, such beautiful creatures!
This is one I am currently looking at buying, he's about 3.5 months old now, I wonder jut how dark he will get around the head as he matures. Coloration looks good, I'll have to see what the genetic cross is for him before I buy though.
Make it a good day y'all.

Xander , Sorry about your fish homie.
Rolf, maybe if your good you will get one for X-mas but you will most likely get coal in yo stocking.
Bobby, I hear ya on the The Silmarillion It is like he is trying to confuse the heck out of you. I read it a long time ago and still remember the high WTF factor and back tracking to try to figure it out.

Lay 'em on me brother.I found if I even show the knife to a buffer the hamon vanishes. Then I etch it again and it brings back the hamon/temper line but it also brings the scratches that I just got rid of. It is maddening I tell ya!
Have a good one y'all.
