Spent the day at the NRA show in Nashville. The Ka-Bar booth was swamped but Joe and Tara took the time to visit with us. Good seeing them as well as Doug and Sue at the Knife Rights booth. A fun day.

You get to episode 12 yet?

Daredevil goes full on parkour and follows a driving car on foot... Pretty sweet scene.... BUT... I just kept waiting for him to hit his head on a wall or something.

Also, i really like the show but i dont think the actor does a great job of playing a blind character. You can watch his eyes following stuff, especially when he is wearing his glasses but they are pushed down or he is at an angle. When he thinks you cant see his eyes, its obvious he can see.

I understand he is suppose to have abilities and heightened senses, but he is still suppose to be blind so his eyes shouldnt move all over on their own, following people etc.

"Auggie" from covert affairs played a blind guy much better. I really thought he was blind for the first couple seasons. I dont think he would of made a better character for this show, i just think he did better at pretending to be blind.
 
Choices, Choices....LOL



I only took this photo because this is how they were on the rack and both caught my eye.
 
Sorry to interrupt and be a bummer, but I need to ask y'all for another bit of kindness.

Please think a kind thought for our dog/my best pal Rocky, and also for Miss Angie, who loves him very much (she literally rescued him from the wild when he was small and abandoned and in pretty rough shape, and nurtured him back to many many years of happy life).

Anyway, Rocky is not feeling very well. We took him to the vet the other day, got him some meds and have an app't to get him checked up again on Monday, so there's that.

Based on the bloodwork, I suspect he is just plain getting old and I'm not real confident there's much we can do for him. :(

Sorry to hear that James. If you are like me you like your dog more than most people. Maybe things will turn around. You never know.

If he does go, I hope he goes peacefully and feels loved.

It's hard to see a Loved one in pain that likely cares more for you and your happiness then for its own well being.

Wishing you 3 the best and Good Luck!
Feel better Rocky!
 
JT, I am wishing all the best for ole Rocky. My girl, Jo is getting up there in age as well.
 
JT, sorry to hear Rocky isn't well. Always hard to see a long termer not doing well. Tough on the heart. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

I've put off doing the taxes about as long as possible.

Any musical suggestions to make it less painful?

tool restoration day!

found some stuff, "krud kutter" some something like that... you spray it on, or better soak stuff in it... eats the rust... not just converts it to black rust (which is also useful)

worked on a forged screw that's at least 100+ years old, from an old marking gauge - total win from rust trap

had a stanley 220 that i got for $4 that i though was a goner but worth the try. definitely worth it. cleaned up much better than i thought. probably have a bit more to do, esp the flats, but wow. not sure if i'll paint it - if i do, it'll be my signature color :D the blade is good now, needs a profiling and a scary sharpening. bam. good.

did some of the grunt work on a Sargent #5 - esp gluing the handle back up into one piece. fixed the frog up, and some hardware, the main work (light) is still left.

and the 78... the blade was the worst, and it's 95%+ now. needs the flats done, and a sharperning. good to go. not bad for $25, missing the main fence, and probably has 2-3 pieces of borged pieces. that's okay, it's a user. i'll just slap a random rod/fence on there later, if i need it. won't even need paint, just the flats.

and that gouge. nice. 95% too. probably want another long soak, and then a buffing, and a sharpening. ready to make spoons and bowls. handle needs oil and a good seating.

then they all need waxing and/or magical rust inhibitor film

good day. nice and mellow.

Thoughts are with you guys JT. Dogs are family for sure.


As the sun sets over Barlow, we are thankful for ours. Somebody dumped Penny and she was beat up pretty bad when we found her. She's the boss now.

I'm sure you've seen videos like this one before Bladite:

Smoke and prayers for Y'all JT. Its rough when one of the family is getting on. :(

Five years ago I helped out a buddy of mine with the unfortunate business of putting down his 'dog'. It was an Akita / Grey Wolf mix that was 15 years old. It had arthritis in its back hips and shoulder joints, and was dropping teeth like mad. In its last month it dropped 15 lbs (in winter). One of the most badass guys I know who has been through some serious sh*t overseas. He told me that day he had absolutely no problem pulling the trigger on any human, but the hardest thing in his entire life was letting his best friend go.

middle of 11...

yeah, been watching his eyes, but maybe he's doing a stevie wonder :> some blind folx, esp if they were sighted and lost, still track with their eyes.

also, since he has "powers"... it's possible his eyes "do something", just not with light :D
