One of the chores I do for mom and dad while they're off snow birding is taking care of the mini pig they inherited from my sister after her divorce. The genetic manipulation to make them tiny (ish) seems to also make them assholes. I grew up raising pigs and she's the only one that's ever been such a determined jerk.

Not a horrible picture, but she was trying to eat me through the gate at the time.

I think pig stickers are usually a little longer than the Utility Fighter, but she's a little pig so a little sticker should do the trick right?

Nathan, the piglet is not Grog's but belongs to his parents. Grog being a good Son, is piggy sitting till Mom & Dad return from snow-birding. I have offered Grog one of my Shivs to taste some swine blood but I'm petrified of Grog's Mom's adverse reaction upon their return. Reportedly, Mom's a great shot ;)

I came across that same page recently - some very cool historic info there! I actually sent an email to (Eric) Kimberlin to say "Hi" - I think he's a resident on Orcas Island here in Washington. I have a trip planned there in April, and wanted to see about stopping by his workshop to see what he's got going on. Maybe there's a hidden stash of Antique Westinghouse he'd be willing to part with? :eek:

Canadian border guard asked to see my folder and told me he’s not going to seize it this time but consider myself warned that importing any knife that can be opened with one hand is now illegal as they have been deemed prohibited weapons.

Had a little pucker handing him a $1000 knife. Had a real pucker when he said it’s a prohibited weapon.

Tighten that pivot screw / nut so tightly that not only you can not two hand the blade, but even using jaws of life can't pry the sucker open!

Prohibited weapon? Really? I recall reading about the import ban, but you're not allowed to have one?

Makes me grind my teeth for two reasons. The knife issue, just so stupid, and the border crossing.....

A number of years ago, my wife, two young kids, and I took a day trip to Canada. First time for all of us. We must have looked like terrorists, two middle aged adults, young kids and all of their vacation parafinalia, all packed into a mini van:rolleyes:. The guard was so incredibly, aggressively, rude and insulting, for absolutely no reason, it ruined that day and my memory of Canada. I’ve never wanted to throttle someone that badly in my life. I new that even arguing with her would be a fast down hill slide.

No animosity toward Canada, and I know she was “doing her job”, but I’d be perfectly happy to, well.... I’ll leave it at that....

Justin, buddy, such distaste for Senenzas?:eek:

Went to a stadium event in a nearby city last night. Just as we were exiting the car to walk to the stadium, I remembered I had my Shiro in my pocket. In years past this would not have been a problem, these day..... I hated to do it, but opted to leave it in the car. I would have had it confiscated for sure. While holding up, literally, thousands of people, they were doing very thorough bag checks, pocket dumps, and running us through metal detectors. Geez, sorry about my jaw getting loose. Mike
