I’m hoping both the black screws and the titanium screws are allen heads. I just changed my FK1 to titanium screws today. I used allen wrenches to remove the black screws and to install the Ti.
My eyes aren’t what they used to be but...

Are you sure that they were not stainless hex types?

 

[Casinostocks]

Well fudge me! To add insult to injury, we just felt a little shaker here in So. Cal. Nothing large or long, a 4.8’er but when nerves aren’t already frayed, well...

Maybe?!? I ordered Ti. Jo’s pretty solid. I’d expect I got what I ordered. The short set (towards the butt of the knife) sat proud so I had to trim it. It was 8/32 thread and a lot tougher than most of the screws I cut (I do this a lot in my job). I don’t know... it all went well.

ETA: “tougher” was the wrong descriptor to use in Nathan’s forum. The screw I trimmed required a lot more pressure and then snapped/sheared suddenly.

Hope you left coasters are alright!

Our titanium screws are allen head now, but they used to be torx.

Lol...when I first looked at this didn't even register that it had to be a fake hand. First thought was why does Chip have all those sores on his hand?

Like any normal person I prefer Crest toothpaste. Obviously. However somehow for some reason Jo is a Colgate person. I just don't even know how to deal with that.

At least it's not aquafresh...

HA. At least it’s not charcoal. My ex got me to try some BS coconut charcoal crap one time. So weird.

^My sister uses that. I'm not sure I love her anymore.

How’s everyone doing on lockdown? We’re having a neighborhood block party tonight, and me and my neighbor are doing a rib off. I’m smoking six racks and he’s smoking six racks. I already know I’m going to win so no big deal for me. I need to get off my butt and go split some kindling with my FK2 here before to long...

*We are all covid-19 free in our close knit circle, and social distancing rules may or may not be broken today/tonight.

 

[Fonedork]

Damn, you think the neighbors are gonna appreciate you putting Crest on all those ribs and stuff?

Like Nathan had said this a few times, Jo is very very smart

So I’m watching TV and I see this report about a long line of cars in some areas as some cities are running food banks.

Couldn’t help but notice that there were some very nice and expensive cars in those long lines! Am I being way too judgmental?

There are old maps of the western usa that show California as an island.

There's a whole library of maps associated with that.

Seek and you shall find.

Hope you left coasters are alright!

Jo: oh my God what happened to your arm?

Me: nothing I don't want to talk about it

Jo: Jesus Nate what happened?
Jo : sympathy

Nate: it's a burn. I burnt it...

Jo: inquisitive. How exactly did you burn your arm Nate?

Nate: I was swinging around on a chain in the new shop while drunk and smoking a cigar

Jo: disdain
