Where the snark is the snark?

Got my federal tax return check in the mail today, got my state the other day $2400 total. Most of it will go to paying down my debt but I'm going to sit on a chunk of it because I'm going to move in a couple months so I need funds available for the deposit and first month's rent on the new place. Looking to save $200-300 a month on rent by getting a cheaper place.
 
Cheap steel makes good therapy. I might have to work up an improved version of this because I kind of like it.

That's pretty awesome, Psy. I'm kind of jelly, truth be told.....or envious - I never remember which is which.

Shark bite!

I need to start doing a little grinding with the steel I have on hand. Lotsa paper and pencil.....hard to commit to the grinding part, tho. Dunno why....but soon.

On a completely different note, I took my two girls and a couple of their friends to the climbing gym tonight. Fun for everyone. My older daughter was belaying her sister and wouldn't let her down until she topped out....it was pretty funny. My little one kept trying to bail, and my big one kept on goading her - there was a UNH (University of NH) group there and a couple of them came over to encourage/cheer on my younger daughter. Pretty fun night.

Also, just to keep the whole Jeep thing going, took this pic for you guys/gals today:

Climbing is great exercise. My old belay partner would do the same thing. She wouldn't let me down unless I'd fallen at least 3 times. Kinda embarrassing when you've climbed for an hour, and then a crowd shows up, and you're so tapped you can't even make it up a 5.6 course.
 
GSOM - looks like a great night.

And I'm impressed you went with the pink eyelashes for your Jeep. I figured you for more of a purple man. ;)

And I DO need to make some sparks. Too many pokers in the fire and ADD. It'll happen, eventually.

I gotta say, it's a lot easier on my perfectionist tendencies to just start free form grinding using cheapish mild steel from the big box home improvement place than to use quality steel. I don't mind just going out and goofing around without it having to be wonderful.

Now, if I ever pull off something wonderful in the mild steel, I'm probably going to drive myself crazy trying to recreate it in decent materials.

quality home-hardenable steel is $17/4ft... Just sayin'. (plus shipping, which ain't nothin')

Which reminds me, GSOM - weren't you going to work on some 1084? Did you get some? I just received another 8', but you'd have to get down here to work on it!

Ha!

I'd say that's fair.

As a resident, in a given square mile of Seattle city limits there's probably 30 shops that sell coffee and 3 roasters that make it. I work across the street from a micro roaster, and 7 out of the 8 shops within half a mile have 1 of 6 different roasters other than that closest one supplying them, all of those roasters also being from within 5 miles. Starbucks is even based a mile down the road, for what it's worth.
 
received my Pico today from Pangea Designs, super tiny titanium bottle opener. Tested it, works great for the size.





That El Jefe is really good too, very smooth with minimal hoppy flavor, just what I like in a beer.
 
I got a couple titanium pocket clip, bottle opener things too from a member on BF. He was at the last of his batch when I got mine and that was a while ago. They are handy to have around!
 
Mornin' fellas. What's everyone's plan for the day? Nothing exciting here. Just got home from work and am gonna relax for a while, nap, and back to work tonight. I might flip on the ps4 for a bit and play for a while too.
 
Have a tornado warning here this morning.... And it's raining like crazy.


Good time to go muddin?
