True Grit, the original John Wayne version shot in 1969. I'm convinced this version is better than the Jeff Bridges remake.

Definitely. :thumbup: Personally, I thought the remake sucked.

So I'm easing out of the Christmas day with a glass of Crown Royal on the rocks, layed back in my bedroom watching True Grit, the original John Wayne version shot in 1969. I'm convinced this version is better than the Jeff Bridges remake.

I'm about as big if a John Wayne fan as it gets, and while I love his version, I do prefer the newer one, for two reasons, it follows the book more and I can't stand Kim Darby(Mattie Ross)

I'll bet that's a splitter out of this world Dubz. I got a Silky Gomboy 240. Went out and sawed up a couple of maple limbs and the reviews are right.

Me too. My brother Ed is out of the country but the Silky was under the tree anyway. I guess this means I'll be picking him up from the airport.:rolleyes:

I got some nice goodies from my wife and daughter plus my little brother Rob. But the coup d'gras is my new Taurus Millenium G2 9mil. I picked that up at a GREAT price at a local gun store on Monday. Haven't been to the range yet but it certainly feels good in hand. I'll be getting my CHL next month so I need to figure out what IWB holster to get soon.

It looks like a tornado went through my home.

Maybe if i keep acting like im still sleeping it will magically clean itself.

I end up in Mass a lot for work, and tho NH has no carry restrictions, MA certainly does. I've still been carrying an auto, tho - a scale release HK Scorch. You can just open it with the thumbstud like a regular folder and since there's no button, no one would even know it's an auto. Half the people I've shown it to still can't actuate it even after I show them how.

I just picked up an Asian knock off of a MT OTF for $20. Double edged. Wouldn't cut a fart when I got it; took a bit of time with the Worksharp and at least now it's a knife instead of a blunt metal toy. Still surprising how crisp the action is for something so cheap....

Crossing the southern border into the Peoples Republic is worse than NY state...I practically have to turn the truck upside down and shake it when I do a show in Ma. (Which in very rarely-)
I really enjoy the new NH lack of knife laws, though. Vt. doesn't go out of their way to enforce knife laws unless you're being an idiot, but they are still on the books.

Christmas night was Sierra Nevada Celebration, 32kg kettlebell presses and the first half of Boondock Saints 2(before the battery bank crapped out...one day of sun in 14 doesn't help the panels much...)

Yea you have to really commit to a role like that.

Wife's cousin came over yesterday and brought her son as well. SO we had 3 kids ranging from 5-8 YO running around like chickens with their heads cut off. All day. From early morning until after 10pm. I didnt mind, it was nice seeing all the kids having a good time for the most part.... But seriously.... The mess is crazy.


I was awaken by a charlie horse from hell this morning. My calf muscle was bulging. Must be overworked from all the chasing kids all day.... That or im a bit dehydrated from doing a beer/vodka flush.

And then on the last note....... My growler and BK16 have made it to my city!! Hopefully have them both in hand by 3PM :D

Gus and Triggs inspired me to pick up a Helinox camp chair finally. Should be about perfect for kayak overnighters.

Packs down to nearly nothing for a kayak hold.

Going to add the PVC skids for river sandbars.

Great purchase. They had sent me one to review a few years ago. Loved it. As soon as it became available, I went out and bought one for Triggs. I like that skid mod. Will have to rig that up when I get home.

Now that is a slick idea. Kay and I tried some out a year or so ago and they would sink easily in the soft ground so we passed. That solves the problem. Might have to snag a couple now. :thumbup:

Got my Roselli. Really cool little axe.

Next to the BK9 for size reference:

She's a thick one:

Looking forward to using it. I opted for the 18" handle model, that's considered the axe. The 14" model is considered the hatchet, with the same head. $2 more for the 18" inch handle seemed the way to go. I can always choke up 4 inches if I need to, haha.

Great looking axe. I had seen them online, but could never really get a sense of the proportions. Your pics solved that problem!

Love the silky saws. I have a BigBoy 2000 that we've used for years. Even felled a few full size birch trees with it. I also really like how you can get replacement blades. Currently trying to find a way to justify buying the KatanaBoy.

I tracked down that thread with the skid mod. The guy used 25 mm electrical conduit (pvc). He drilled the foot slots a few mm narrower than the actual distance between the legs. You have to slightly flex the legs to fit them in the skid. This creates enough tension to keep the skids from dropping off when you move the chair. He also said that the skids can fit in the chair bag. Very cool.
