Two Becker's of every kind on Noah's Snark

Happy Thirstday, everyone!

I have to do probably my least favorite part of my job today... package/ship stuff, order materials, take/edit pictures and write up another sale thread. :grumpy: Although all things considered, if those are the worst parts... I have a pretty cool job

I'd rather get kicked in the balls and crap my pants in front of an audience than do that again. It's a terrible experience that lasts for hours and even days.

Off to the quote thread with you!

mmm alcomahal and moobs. There is only one situation where that is acceptable; When spooning in stupid cold temperatures trying not to freeze to death.

Other then that... if you want a party, just stick your junk in the mashed potatoes.

Ticks on your...... Ya you get it, gross and no thanks lol.

Tri-Tip steak, sliced into portions and marinated with sriaccha, A1, Horseradish, ground mustard, red pepper, and some oil.
Mac and cheese, made from scratch, used a blend of cheddar (sharp and mild), monterey jack, asiago, and danish bleu, and bacon.
Potatoes au gratin, same basic cheese blend as mac and cheese (including the bacon.)
Asparagus, tossed in garlic, lemon pepper, horseradish, ground mustard, salt, and balsmic. Then grilled.

except for the carbs, looks outstanding

And there really isn't much you can do to mitigate that, other than being lucky enough to have a high tolerance to it. It's going to be excruciating for a good 10-15 minutes with the next 20-30 burning like a bastard and depending on how well you washed another 10 minutes to an hour feeling like a really bad sunburn. The only thing you can do is wash really really well as soon as possible, dry your face (don't rub your eyes and use a fresh, dry, paper towel or whatever for each pass) and get something cold a dry on it to mitigate the pain until the effects wear off. And don't shave the day of if you have the luxury of knowing it's coming.

Just don't if you can help it.

supposedly a very aggressive oil cutting soap, like orange peel based stuff, or doctor bronners, and then rub in some "minty liquid antacid" that you would ordinarily drink for stomach issues. for good measure, get that in your mouth, and gargle, breath in mouth, breath out nose, and maybe rub some on your eyelids.

other hat tip: for cleanup, wear gloves don't touch your junk OR SOMEONE ELSES lol.

New toy. I realize I'm cheating on my revolvers, but sometimes you just want some strange.

I can now verify the Buckmark is a shooter. Damn. :thumbup:

Damn straight.

But will it ring the dinner bell?

But will it ring the dinner bell?

Depends on who's shooting it.

Cool! Gotta love how the good ol' boy in the overalls just casually wanders over and starts drinking the water

Interesting sidenote... it's a little hard to see in the vid, but y'know how comp cutters generally have a light sweep or belly to the edge? At BLADE last year Donovan explained that when he makes strictly water-bottle-cutting knives, he flips the blade pattern over so the edge has a slightly concave profile.

Also, if you want to have fun cutting water bottles but don't want to drop a few hundred bucks on a custom knife, just get you a Ka-Bar Zomstro (should be able to find one for about $75 if you shop around). I know that thing takes a lot of guff for various reasons, but it's a fantastic performer on soft targets like bottles and rope :thumbup:

Happy Thirstday, everyone!

Backatcha James. Vodka's kicking my butt.

For WW (and others who like going to the dentist)

Tenderfoot (in dentist's chair) : Ouch!!!

Dentist: What are your fussing about? Don't you know I'm a painless dentist?

Tenderfoot: Yes sir, you may be painless, but I'm not.

Im suppose to get a call on Monday to let me know something...

At this point im approved for it and we have agreed on all costs and everything. But im still waiting on the title search (which is being done by the insurance people) and as long as that turns out good ill be prepared to sign.

But i found out that these people are also still in the process of doing the paperwork for their new place... So i guess i need to be hoping it works out for them, so that it will work out for me LOL

Fingers still crossed at the moment, but im hoping for a good outcome!!

LOL they were acting like them cups were full of vodka!

And it would be cool to see the blades made if each event was allowed to be done with a separate knife!! The knife for the straws would be like that kitchen knife i got to play with!! Thin and razor sharp.

Also the parangatang makes a damn good bottle cutter as well. It does have the up sweep to the blade though...

Wood,

Get title insurance. They are much better than you at looking for liens and other encumbrances. It's not that great an expense, and you will sleep better.

Doc

Its the insurance people doing the title check if i understood correctly.. I think its for the title insurance as well. Ill double check on this though.

Not sure if this has been posted before but I found this and....immediately thought of Worldwood.

Thats awesome. Found the patch. Will be ordering one

Tenderfoot: Yes sir, you may be painless, but I'm not.

HAHA!!

I was suppose to go for my 2 week check up today at 1.... I fell asleep in my chair with the KME on my lap and woke up at 1:20 Im going to call them tomorrow to reschedule though.

Last of the stitches came out this morning anyways.... But there is a spot i want checked so i should prolly go in.

Been perusing old issues of Boy's Life magazines. How times have changed. A lot of the old ads promoted boys going out and getting jobs and earning their money. Some of the "opportunities" were ::

1 - trapping and skinning skunks, muskrats, rabbits and other small fur bearers and selling the hides to one of several hide buyers advertising in the issue,
2 - buying a bicycle and earning money as a message or goods delivery (Mrs. Johnson calls in or drops off an order at the dry goods store and boys on bikes would deliver them after school
3 - raising guinea pigs for sale to laboratories
4 - door to door sales of all kinds of stuff - chocolate, taking orders for companies, and more

There were also several ads about sending your son off to camps. A couple of examples ::
1 - Woodcraft, Campcraft and Watercraft training and wildlife study 6 week schools
2 - Cavalry, Artillery, Naval (min age 14) and Woodcraft - 8 week schools

I don't know about y'all, but I'd'a killed to get to go to Cavalry or Artillery camp

Well, it is called title insurance. But you should make sure it's a bonafide title company and not someone trying to protect their a$$. The title insurance policy protects you, the buyer. It is separate from homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance or anything else.
