Something I don't get, why would school starts in the middle of the week?

I'm convinced that's because the teachers get together on Monday and need a couple days to get their heads together and prepare to deal with the new influx of insane hormone-rattled children.

BTW did you get a chance to fool around with that kitchen knife yet?
 
Hey James... We need to talk, that knife doesn't want to leave the house! By god I don't want it to either! (I know it needs to... I'll send it out Monday if you get me the next address.) It's a great blade for real.

Heh... I guess you did get a chance to play with it. You can't keep it, sorry... unless you want to fight Vik for it (which would be a very, very bad idea). There will be more, and they will only get better. I promise.

With all that cooking you do, we are going to need a better review than this!! :D

It is a sweet blade tho!!

I am gonna need one of these. I guess we'll have to figure out when I can get one. Just give me a heads up a couple weeks before they are ready so I can make sure to have the liquid assets for it.

I don't have anyone to take pictures while I'm cooking usually these days. However good googily moogily this thing is EPIC. I have used it as my sole blade for everything in the kitchen since I've had it. It's great!
 
I may well end up regretting that... ;)

At one point or another im sure you will LOL

If anyone in this house grabs a treat Neko will come, sit, stand, and high 5..... He hasnt perfected the high 5 yet but we are working on it...

Anyways, if the wife or kids just call him or tell him to sit when they dont have a treat.. He will look at them like they are stupid, turn his head sideways, and then walk off and lay down. Nearly every single time.

He listens to me better than anyone, of course im the one that has spent the most time working and playing with him, but even with me he only listens about 75% of the time on a good day if im not holding a treat. The aggravating part is that we know he knows what to do, he is just an A-hole LOL.....

If your trying to get him to come and he is not listening... if you walk over and grab the treat bowl he will start going through all the basic commands on his own... He runs up, sits, stands, then tries to give you a high 5... Because he knows thats what we want him to do, but he has the attitude if he isnt getting anything out of it he isnt even going to try. He is very head strong and alpha like.

The "Dogs101" video on the Shiba's breed starts like this "looking for a dog that's easy to train? Well keep looking" LMAO so i knew well before i got him that he would be stubborn. I was trying to get him to settle down one day so i could work with him and he was just walking all over me doing what ever he wanted and just blowing off his commands... So i slapped myself upside the head and my wife says "what?" i told her im a damn idiot for getting this damn dog LMAO

Now i wouldnt trade Neko for any other dog out there, we have already bonded, but a head strong dog can definitely be a challenge!!
 
Good news! My wife got a job offer yesterday from a place she's been trying to get hired. She has to go in for an interview next week but it's just to see if they are going to offer her a supervisor or assistant manager position. I'm really hoping this works out. She's been pretty unhappy with where she is right now and deserves something better.

Good Luck to her
Life is too short to work at a job where your miserable unfortunately all too many people are stuck in one.
 
You too WW. I wasn't going to say anything but I saw your post and figured I'd put it out there. Can't hurt to have a few more positive thoughts. :)

congratulations on the offer! Hopefully it all pans through!
 
Gotta crash. Overnights are wearing me down but I gotta stick it out for a couple more months before I might be able to get back on days. Goodnight everybody!
 
I'm still at work, waiting for the PA to come through so I can go home and go to bed. I really need to clean since we have people in town this weekend however I'm fricking exhausted. It depends on how much more coffee I can pour down my gullet before I leave I guess.
 
Just got my bk17 in the mail, this is a sweet little blade. Can't wait till deer season to test it out

Cool, bro.

Way to derail the snark thread with a post about a knife, tho ;).

Yeah, no kiddin' .... WTF? :confused:

Just teasin', of course. I really like my 16 and it's only a matter of time til I get me a 17 as well... I'm a sucker for a light, handy clip-point blade.... :thumbup:

Yeah, really!! On the other hand, I'm disappointed no one commented on my spork...

Good luck with that!

On a positive note, me likey!!


No need to pull other dogs photo's to your own stories. You should see a Johsnson Bulldog*english staffordshire or a heeler/bull terror in hot pursuit.
The lamb, bear & most likely even the boar are vegetarian creatures anyhow...

I said they were not my photos and that i just liked the pictures....

And in that case then you should see a Tibetan Mastiff :rolleyes:

And both boar and bear are omnivores.

Last but not least, Who are you???? :p


:D

A very good question!!

Heh... I guess you did get a chance to play with it. You can't keep it, sorry... unless you want to fight Vik for it (which would be a very, very bad idea). There will be more, and they will only get better. I promise.

James - How does one get on the list of one of the next batch? I'd like to get one of these in addition to the Elmax boning knife that I believe you will someday make for me! I'll post a note in your subforum. I'm starting to get an itch that needs scratching...

The steel I have on-hand for the next batch is already spoken-for. Apparently, I should order more steel... ;)

Not bein' a smarty-pants here, I sincerely appreciate your support and input. :thumbup:

As usual, I'm pleasantly surprised by how well that chef's knife has gone over.

Well, actually, I'm not surprised that it works well - I put several years of study into it - I'm just surprised that people are surprised by it. That's just how a knife is supposed to work. This is not rocket surgery... :p

I realize there a lot of details involved, which I continue to study... but it seems so simple to me...

Good steel and good HT.
Blade that cuts well.
Handle that doesn't hurt your grabby parts.

Duh. ;)

That's how I got interested in knives in general, and Becker knives in particular.

Your custom Elmax boning knife is definitely on the schedule... it just remains to be seen if I can get some appropriately-thin stock or if I will have to grind down the thicker stock I already have. Elmax freaking ROCKS for pure slicing knives... :)

I'm not currently taking new custom orders, that's just too much paperwork and hassle. But Beckerheads and friends of THK will be the first to know when new stuff is available. :thumbup:

GSO, sorry I didn't compliment you on your very nice eat'n tool. Mine goes everywhere with me....as well as my new chopsticks.
 
GSO, the only reason I didn't comment on the spork is cause you totally stole it from me! I keep mine in my bag!

James - Thanks for the update. I can wait, so don't grind the thick stuff thinner on my account. If you do a run of "non-custom" kitchen knives, I'd sure want to be on the list. If not, then I'll hop on the custom list when you open it back up. :thumbup:

That is a good looking spork there :D

That spork is to die for...

:p

For some reason I think you all are snarkin' me... :D
