I can do that! In fact, I do it all the time for free, but no one here seems to appreciate my talents, much less pay me for them.
Are they hiring? Do you suppose they might be interested in opening a branch office in Knoxville with me as the main-farter-in-charge? Where should I send my resume'?

By "random fart noises" do you mean variations in pitch, volume and duration or just randomly timed? Big difference here.

Trade, unsurprisingly, raises a valid concern here. Not only would the answer alter how I picture this scenario in my head, but it will undoubtedly have an effect on Jame's aspirations in life.
Well they're not authentic. Not most of them anyway.

EPIC!
I do that when I walk in the front office of our warehouse
The finance people seem to freak out, the sales people don't notice because most of them have their head's up their asses.

Resume' sent! See ya, suckers!! Hang on to your THK knives if you'uns have one, cuz they're ain't gonna be any more... I'm riding off into the rainbow-flavored sunset of sweet bennies and a killer retirement pension on an updraft of tax-dollars and bicycle exhaust. :thumbup:

Working in my shop today I got a phone call from Mr. L.T. Wright. I've met him in passing at Blade but never had a chance to talk to him one on one till today. Im not at liberty to discuss the contents of our conversation at this time, but let me tell you folks. L.T. Wright is on of the good guys in the craft of knife making. I was overly impressed with him, we come from similar backgrounds and situations in our lives. I always liked him and his products, but after today, I will always support him. He gets two mugs up from T.M.Hunt customs knives thats for sure. (Not that he needs my endorsement

Fart apps are for people who can't use one of these...

I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the guys from the shop last August. Great people. They brought a camp knife collab with them that i REALLY liked... But i have yet to see it for sale on their site or elsewhere. But cool people for sure.
TBL.... Couldnt resist. First impressions are great.
Bighoss... You were right about the Ontario Kuk. That thing is awesome. I love the bend in it. Fast in the hands for its size too. Its a keeper.
On the down side.. the RTAK ended up being the one with the lighter blade

If all I have to do is make fart noises, I'd be happy as second-farter-in-perpetuity.
I only ask for $110K/year, health/life insurance, a standard 401K package, and travel expenses.
Good point. If you can't hit the high notes, you've not mastered the craft. It's sort of like singing the national anthem.
LOL, OK. I worked my my ass off pulling all the OT I could last year and still only cleared $56k. Pretty good for a single 31 year old, but still...

I went by wal-fart after work but the cheapest fart machine they had was a $5 battery-operated job. I didn't feel like spending that much when the app was free.

Of course I was right. You'd do well to remember that I'm always right. Sucks about the RTAK, I had that version too. Did not care for it. I had considered buying a new one but between the knife and a kydex sheath I'm almost into the package as much as a Junglas.

Damn that thing is pretty small!
does it do all 3? oil, foliage, and uh brick
Ill send ya a pm!
Why thank you bud, never knew you felt that way.
Soon as i pulled it out the sheath i knew it was the "wrong" one. It doesnt have the same blade heavy feel, i havent chopped with it yet but i can already tell it wont bite as deep. So now its still ~150 grams heavier than the 9 but with less forward momentum than the 9.... I miss the other one i had LOL... It felt much better in hand even though it was a little bit heavier. I dont mind heavier knives... I like em... IF the weigh is in the right places.

OMG! A peasant fisherman. I've heard about you people.
Seriously, I like the metal one for local trout because the limit is seven and the stringer has seven clasps. You fill your stringer and it's time to go home.
Peasant???? Why would I ever have aspirations to rise that high on the social scale?
When I use those plain stringers, I'm fishing on a small private lake where state limits do not apply. In fact, fishing licenses were not required. I fish until I have enough for however many people I'm going to feed. I have issues with that right now. The drought we've had in Texas for the last several years dried up most small ponds and lakes. My smallest one went completely dry. The larger one didn't completely dry up cause it has a spring in the bottom of it, but the extreme heat drove the O2 levels below survival limits and we had a total fish kill. It's full again, but it will be a few years before we have edible size fish again.
Limits only mean how many I can have at one time on the stringer. When I hit the limit, I keep going and will replace a puny, barely legal one with a bigger one, if I catch one. The odds that a game warden will be showing up in the 2 minutes I have 1 over the limit in my possession is somewhere below a snow ball's chance in hell. They do all their checks at the boat docks/boat ramps. That assumes I'm fishing for something that has limits. Yellow and white perch, sunfish, carp and buffalo have no limits.

apparently a lot of people are buying those up right now - lots to see, lots to buy at some shoppes.
it would require a lot of research to do it right... doing it right, keeping all my fingers?
turns out i need an actual device for safe ripping sooner, than later, so...
saw a real sweet metal cutting saw the other way. oh my yes. $15k

I must have been even higher than you and TBL combined when I wrote that.

searchtempest dot com - CL, ePrey, amazingzon, and more, with one click, and geography
Unisaw would be the final countdown... i would also need my trailer to not be buried under 6 feet of snow. or goodly van and timing...
so yeah, looking. looking. i see one or two, Bissy fence. 3 phase - i assume i can user a converter, or swap a motor, if the thing is clean.
also see things called "delta rockwell unisaw", might need more research.
in the short time, i saw a lot of decent jobsite saws, for cheap, even up to Bosch, and the better Rigids. need to rip stuff asap.
tax refund coming though
plus a small bonus in a bit.- Status
