So my daughter just graduated from high school yesterday, asked her what her plans were for the summer, she says she is going camping (please keep in mind she lives with her blood dad) and I asked her if she needed any equipment, she comment’s no she is good so I say gotta a knife, no knife, I refuse to let her go camping without a good knife so I am gifting her a basic field knife, she has no idea what she is getting and that is what I want, I only said if she sells it talk to me first. I am happy., she’s a good young lady. Have a great week you all

She has no idea about those things, I am sure she will be spoiled and think every knife is like that. One hand gifts the other hand spoils.

Awesome that she chooses to go camping. I truly feel that you should never have someone you care about outfitted with gear you would not carry yourself. You obviously care about her welfare a great deal, and set a high bar. Congrats to her graduating, and to you for setting a great example.

I will never buy a prefabricated shed again. This lumber is so damn twisted it could be cast as the villain in a silence of the lambs sequel/prequel/whatever.

Ridiculous 🤬. Hope I can jury rig this and make the floor square. Going to be a long few days 😮‍💨

I got this 20' military surplus shipping container for about $2,000 total cost. The wiring, lights, benches, power panel was all part of it. It is heavy duty enough that you could literally drive a forklift in it. Insulated with doors on the ends and an access panel on the side. It even came with an air conditioner but I got rid of that because it was an old 3 ton unit which was way too big for my needs. I'll cut a little hole and just hang a window unit in it.

I can't imagine buying a shed

Time for some self reflection and sorta admission:

I have noticed recently that sometimes I tend to read words incorrectly! Think of it as sudden dyslexia, however I've never been dyslexic! Best case scenario this is just me being lazy and skimming over words too quickly and conjuring up some words that do not make sense in the sentence (my glasses could also be getting weak) or more ominously, as bad omen for what is there to come to me as I age! For instance, today when I glanced at this thread topic which I had seen before:

Nate's high concentration diamond shmoo​

In my mind I had initially interpreted the sentence as Nathan having made some highly corrupted lab (synthetic) diamond! I shyte you not!

The wife better grow an extravagant garden this year. Just picked up $200 worth of more soil. This inflation is killing me.

Same. Tilled the garden beds, added more soil, again. If atmospheric dust constantly enlarges the earth, why do these garden beds constantly need more soil, and where does it go? Am I eating 320 pounds of dirt in my vegetables every summer?
I simply don’t eat that much salsa, although I try, I really, really, try. Mmmmmmm saaalsaaaa.
Salsa is the only reason that I agree to all of this gardening.

I almost bought one of those for the WV property as a hunting shack. Hard deal to beat if you need something quickly.
