Finally getting around to watching season 3 of House of Cards. I think they film these things to be binge watched.

I should be asleep.

And yet, I push play.

Seem to have misplaced my black Kabar dozier folding hunter... It's by far one of the most inexpensive folders I have(had?:() but it gets carried A LOT more than my more expensive ones. Sigh :(
 
I'll just leave this here.

How much awesome can you fit in one video?
 
One of mine too! I love Ravel! I used to go to the free symphony in Chicago (Grant Park, now Millennium Park) every time they had Ravel's pieces. It was usually 2-3 times a season!

This was of course also when I was 12-15 years old and would go by myself because the rest of the family didn't particularly care for Ravel.
 
Big thumbs up, sir!

On a sidenote: tried to watch 2001: a space oddysey again last week. Nope, still sucks. 20 minute long scenes of cardboard space planes ad nausaum, 15 minute sunrise... no thanks. The music is good, but I don't have to watch a movie for that. I can listen to it in my car. Damn that film frustrates the sh*t out of me.
 
Well, the house hunting continues. We had put an offer on a place with the condition that the house would pass a home inspection. We knew the house was not perfect, but we were willing to deal with some of the issues because the property also had a 32' x 18' garage that we were going to turn into a climbing training facility. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the house inspection turned up some massive issues that would cost a fortune to repair. Not good. We pulled our offer last night and got drunk. Dodged a bullet, but we will miss that garage - it was the only part of the property that passed the home inspection! lol
 
Wish I could post an olfactory clip right now. Just arrived in the Vietnamese quarter of Boston-Dorchester. Very....unique - tho not unpleasant.

Thank you! The pain of losing my buddy is receding... I'm now firmly in the mode of remembering all the fun times we had together :)

Also the other day I realized after 7 years in the military and many more being broke as a joke; I have never tried SPAM.
I made a fried SPAM and tomato sammich. Pretty good. That sodium though!

My dear sainted mother liked SPAM very much. Now and then she would slice it up and sautee it in a pan, sometimes with eggs, and shrooms and onions if she was really feeling fancy, toast some bread and make sandwiches for us. Me and Dad were always like, "Well, thanks... I guess. It beats having to make supper for ourselves." :p

Despite having grown up with it, I've never understood the appeal. Far as I can tell, it's just greasy and disgusting. But hey... whatever works for ya! :)

Mom also whipped up a batch of fried liver 'n' onions from time to time. :barf: Dad never failed to run like hell, take me with him, and go to McDonald's. :D

Watch out for that Vik guy. Sooner or later he's gonna knock us all on our behinds with some cool knives...
 
day 2 of the "tool fair" - went for a long lunch

poked some cool things

came home with most of my tractor money :D got off light.

more importantly: made some contacts, got business cards, learned some things...

now i know where to go for parts... down the road without going out of my way. or where to dump boxes of stuff i don't want :D

and what to avoid :D stanley #1 plane. $999 all day long. stanley #2 plane. $250 all day long. avoid :D unless they are $10. model 41 fillister plane. also $999 all day long. crazy, those people.

now. the the man cave! build things! but first a zzzzzz nap.

so, i'm plotting some projects. maybe they'll be Becker activities... i was thinking bird houses. use a single 2x4. or a nice storage/presentation box (mmm, kukri sized)... or ... i dunno. some projectsmight even involve Becker (and/or KaBar) knives.

definite things to do: make a bodger/shaver bench, some work tables, some shelves or storage solutions... bucket list stuff, but that leads to more antics...

project ideas!

but tonite, a beer, some reading in the fresh air, some more study. then probably bed. tired.

tool fair day 3 - might go. might not. could be fun to see how the auction has progressed and look at the super rare stuff ($90,000+ for a plane? seriously?)...

sunday Sunday SUNDAY - mmm, gun show :D
