Whoo hoo!. Im outta there!...... last day of the shit job, tomorrow starts the new adventure! Couple of wiseasses thought it would be funny to make me carry out a bunch of balloons on my last walk out. I left for 5 mins to say by to a couple of people and came back to my lab with my work station looking like this.

Also, to my extreme suprise. The HR lady, (who I always thought was a miserable bitch) came up to me out of the blue and said that she heard I was a baseball fan. She gave me 4 box seat tickets to the Indianapolis Indians game of my choice and put it in my record to be hired back immediately if I should ever decide to return. I was shocked. Maybe she wasnt such a bitch after all!

Todd, that is awesome actually! Now get the (...) out of there and go sit on the couch for the rest of the day! Tomorrow begins a new day!

I called the cavalry in... I got my best friends in coming for the weekend. Got the house to ourselves... Shit is going down!
 
I'm dumb. Forgot to count myself in the vip passes. If you have 4 great, if not that's cool. I don't want to take away from others that haven't had the chance to get 'em.

On a side note: My son found a caterpillar cocoon on the sidewalk a few weeks ago and wanted to keep it to watch it hatch. I figured it wouldn't until I noticed it was getting heavier? Sure enough it hatched last night. How does it get hevier if nothing else is being added to the cocoon? Blows my mind.

4 is cool. I'll send 'em along as soon as Ka-Bar gets them to me.
 
Awesome! Thanks man.

I know it's not the ideal wood for knife handles because it usually doesn't have fancy grains but my dad just sent me some hardwood oak floor from the house he grew up in. 70+ years old and it is solid as a rock. Think I might change up the scales on my 15 again. ...........or maybe the 12........or the 4........or all of them.

I say go for it! If it's quartersawn (and it may well be) oak actually looks pretty nice once it's shaped into a handle. It's certainly strong enough for handles. Plus it's just plain cool that it came from the house your Dad grew up in :)
 
Congrats Todd!

Christmas came for me today :D (the one at the bottom). Wewt!

Dang. That's cool. And there is the absolute worst-case emergency contingency plan if somehow everything else implodes. Until they find the turd in the microwave...

Awesome sauce. I have a ZT0350 in my pocket right now and a brand new ZT0700 in my box-o-knives. Don't have the one on the bottom though.

How'd you do?

Do you have summer school? You'd be missing prime co-ed shorts time if you don't... Jus' sayin'.

I did good. Might do one class for summer but I have leather to get caught up on and fun stuff to do.

Kick ass, Todd! Congratulations and that's a good score on the Indians tickets too!
 
In trying to get a wiper arm off the girlfriends car I managed to crack the windshield!!! I barely put any pressure on it with my knuckle as I was trying to pull it off and it just cracked......... there goes $300!!
 
Put my first two videos up on youtube. I am thinking of trying to make a decent channel with respectful content. Is there anything you guys would like to see of things I have done or anything that you would like to see covered? Any other advice? Not looking to make a living at it or anything. Realistically, I doubt I could provide content at the rate that some people pump out the videos. So it will be a slow start but could be fun.

Link?

You could get a GoPro and mount it on the back of Becker's head - dog's eye view. But done respectfully.
 
Just two videos of a deadfall trap I was messing with. Nothing special.
