was a little bummed that Florida put the hammer down on hammock hanging in state parks...I found out today that the ban was lifted a little bit ago...have to have slap straps or the like, no rope, and if you have a ridge line for your rain fly or bug cover, it has to be tied to the straps not the tree....cool info for me since I just bought a ENO double nest this past Sunday...Bring on the hanging...

Do those things come with built in beer holders? Or do you have a beautiful woman for that job?

Damn. Sometimes life just kicks you in the nuts. Then it laughs in your face.

Oh well, I'm gonna kick lifes ass!
 
When you guys sand a blade, what do you do to get the stuff off near the handle? I'm sanding down the length of the blade. I don't want to go the opposite direction. Even though I know this works, getting the sand marks out is a bitch. The scales don't come off either, so that's out of the question. Tips?

Dubz, the ricasso is VERY difficult to refinish with the handles on for precisely the reason you've identified.

You can use a SHARP sanding block (prolly bevel it so you can get in at a high angle), and place the edge of the block at the ricasso/handle junction. Press, and drag. Lower the block as you drag out toward the tip. I'll be very impressed if you can get it to match the finish on the rest of the blade flat.

Thanks daizee, I was actually hoping you'd ring in. I was entertaining the thought of going across the grain with a finer grit, then trying to get it back out with a rougher grit, but that's still a bitch.
 
So, today has been a day of epicness! I went and talked to the building owner this morning and told him I wasn't happy with my roommate living here anymore, and that I wanted either him gone, or a 1 bedroom loft of my own. He said there is a waiting list for 1bdrms but he put me on it, and bumped me to the top of the list.

This afternoon there was a paper in the door. It was an eviction notice for my roommate and ONLY my roommate. I get to keep my 2bd/2ba loft downtown to MYSELF! He has to be gone by the first of the month.
 
I do security work for the building. I also have gone out drinking with him and his friends, they go to the local bar that I frequent so it works out great. He came in all the time to the restaurant I worked at and I would hook him up with food.
 
I find it disturbing a group of men asked for another man's pic....but what the hell.

I hate it, every time I see my reflection I look odd to myself...and yeah Trade, my face feels funny LOL
Oh well, it will be back in a week or so.

Now, a pic with 5,000% more smexy in it!

When my BK11 comes in what is a good stripper to use to get the paint off?

I was using the klean strip gel from wally world..worked well but was messy, and used a lot of it. I switched to the wally world spray can stripper..I think it's also klean strip...works just as well and is a LOT easier to use. I lay knife on a piece of cardboard, spray it heavy, flip it over, spray other side, then leave it for 10-20 minutes, or whenever it starts peeling off. The old coating like what is on the 11 comes off real easy. The newer coating is tougher.

FYI, if u use the same brand I do, you can tighten the scales on, and spray right over it..so the coating is intact on the handle under the scales...the spray didn't affect my zytel at all.
 
This sucks. The one day in a month we get rain and our power goes out. Damn the flies!
