Hey y'all, I haven't posted in a while, but I've been rockin my Rat 1 and my secret project EDC knife.

Interesting thing happened to me during the summer, and then something else last week.

During the course of the summer I managed to wear out the nylon washers on my Rat 1, and then last week I managed to bend the pocket clip while getting out of the back seat of my parents Versa (not mine). Got them both fixed, but my Rat 1 still doesn't open like it used to. I'm thinking some WD40 will help it.

As far as that secret project goes, I'll give y'all a hint: What's black, and Becker, and red all over?
 
Man I love Bocote wood. These on a BK9 would be sweet!

Listening to episode 6 of the Knife Journal podcast. If y'all haven't checked it out yet, give it a listen. Pretty thought provoking and run by a couple of our own.

you know I honestly don't think I've ever had a 'real' martini.... sure looks good, and I love olives so I can see this hand in hand..

I don't think I have, either. The few people I've known who claimed to like 'em were really just drinking vodka with an olive in it... I think there's supposed to be a little more to it than that :confused:

I went on a gin-and-tonic kick for a couple summers... very refreshing with a wedge of lemon. Two funny stories about that... once I strolled into a dive bar and since they had NO beer on tap, just cans of Miller Lite (WTF?) I asked for a G&T... the bartender growled, "We don't normally make them fancy big-city drinks. What's in it?" :rolleyes:

Another time when my kid was maybe 2, I was coming back from the kitchen and saw her making a bee-line for my G&T sitting on the coffee table... I presume she thought it was just 7UP. I hollered "Nooo!" but she got there first and took a big sip. She didn't like it at all. :eek: :barf:

I don't care for snotty people like that. You shoulda just made sure you had a cab waiting for a quick getaway before he could call the cops, chugged a double scotch, and puked on his floor. :grumpy:

I had kind of the opposite thing happen once... my foreman and I stopped in our usual watering hole after working overtime on a Saturday, covered in ink and grease and not smelling too nice. A couple young wannabe-yuppies we didn't recognize were sitting further down, snickering behind their hands at us and making rude comments. We were too tired and thirsty to care, but the owner got sick of it right quick. He walked over to 'em, took away their drinks and poured 'em down the sink, and snarled, "Guys like that pay the bills around here. Get the fuck out!" The looks on their faces was priceless :D

Well, now I know what you were blathering about, I got mine in yesterday. Like the knife, although I got a different sheath than you and Murph. Not a big deal, going to make a kydex sheath for it anyways.

What knife ???
Click to expand...

DPX HEFT 4. They have a special going on to get them for a reduced price. Gutsy told me about it, and then it kinda spread from there. Heck of a knife for the price. But you can tell it was designed with something other than bushcraft in mind as a first priority. Not a bad thing mind you, since it has a sharpened edge it would do the job better than a seashell or a piece of rock, but since I haven't gotten to use it yet, I can't say much more than that. Same size range as the BK16/17, with a handle that is comfortable but might need a bit of work to be perfect.
 
Mornin Gents. Heading back up to Indianapolis in a few minutes. Wish us luck. My 10yr. old daughter started having unbareable pain in her hips over a month ago. After that long worth of Doctor visits and theropy, nothing has worked and gotten to the point that she can't run, go up steps, sleep, play, carry anything you name it. She missing out on volleyball at school which she's most upset about. We was getting nowhere with her other Doc. So we went to a specialist in Indy. Today we take her for a MRI. He seems to think. There may be a stress fracture in her lower spine/back, said the MRI will definately tell us. He said there still a chance it could be something small so keep your fingers crossed for us. Because if its not, corrective actions could be devastating. Could include surgery resulting in a wheelchair for several months.

He's a cool cat; as far as I know he's still running that same bar. Just a little corner tavern, kinda halfway between downtown and the city's original industrial park. It was the one place in town where you might have a millionaire sitting on side of you and a broke-down bum on the other, a couple bikers over there and some hippies back yonder, lawyers and businessmen, blue-collar guys, whatever... and everybody got along. I used to shake dice for shots with some of the wealthiest men in town. It really was like that Toby Keith song. There's a little family-owned bakery/deli next door that's been in business since the 60's... many times I'd go grab a sammich and eat it at the bar with a brew (or ten). If you're ever in Wausau, stop by and tell 'em I said howdy.

They did throw a lot of popcorn and coasters at me when I showed up to watch Packer games wearing a Raiders shirt, though. :p

They just don't seem to have cozy places like that down here in Knoxville. Just big loud trendy Karaoke joints and franchise places with loud TV's, warm beer, mediocre over-priced food and crappy service from barely-legal waitresses who clearly don't want to be there.
