That's just WRONG!
I still remember the picture of the little devil with a pitchfork on the paper wrapper.
But I LIKE Chile con Carne y Frijoles!!
Just a word of advice. Don't obsess over it. That will only burn you out and turn Erin off. She'll get it; just ease her into it. If you need to work into the summer, that would be better than trying to cram too much in right at the beginning. You took this on to be closer to her; don't make her feel like it's a huge chore. I know you're feeling like you HAVE to do all this because her education is your responsibility now, but just take it easy on both you and her.
I'm just sayin, is all. ;o)
OK, that was a super funkle, but I was catching up with you chatsy folks. Now I'm going to bed. See y'all later on in the morning!
While Uncle Sam bought thousands of the pricey Camillus Cuda CQB1s, he's also buying lots of Camillus knives from their Becker Knife $ Tool brand. These are vey sturdy, but somewhat chunky, knives that list for about half the price of the Cuda. The blades are made of the same tool steel our Cuda CQB3s are made of. We can also get these at the government's price. They're also pretty reasonably priced "on the street".
First, the BK2 Companion:
The other is the BK4 Combat Utility.
I bought one of each for prototype purposes. They're available with a tan epoxy-coated blade, and desert-tan handles and sheaths. I figured I'd be ahead of the learning curve.
In talking with Michelle from Camillus, I learned that they are discontinuing the tan color, because nobody, not even the government, was buying it. So there may be some closeouts out there that we can give a good home to.
Yes...right up 32 from Long John Silver's and the Burger King...could drive the other way and go to Hardee's, or to the Blimpie on Jefferson. That's not far from the Stonegate Station...
:)
I know becaue back when you first gave Lebanon as a planning destination, I opened my mapping software and planned what turns out to be about a 12-hour trip (breaks included)...
Good Morning, Everyone!
Tonite's an American Idol nite, Ruthy! (Wheeee!)
Oh yeah, winter in the South. ;o) We thought Huntsville was a pretty town when we drove through several years ago. It's a possible 'retirement' destination for us.
In theory she's going to send me digital photos from time to time. I haven't heard from them since my last call, though.
I think I'm feeling OK about it now. I have to admit it's been much easier doing all the house prep without them. They aren't the...calmest dogs in the world.
I think they'll be fine. I do hope I hear from them occasionally, though!
Well the people that I've met here are just as charming and nice as can be. (But I can say that about most places that aren't in the DC-NY corridor.)
LOL! I was hearin' that in my head after that post...cracked me up when I hit on your post!
Good morning!
Well, I went to the hardware store last night and talked to one of the people I actually trust, and described my predicament, complete with showing how wide the crack was. He said it didn't sound like a big deal and to just use spackle. I asked about joint compound, and he said you COULD use that, but since we were talking very tiny cracks, it wasn't really necessary and joint compound is harder to handle and takes longer to dry than spackle. He also said the caulk wasn't a great idea because it isn't sandable, and though you can smooth it with a finger, it's tough to get to the same level as sanding allows. So...I bought more spackle to be sure I had enough and patched the corners last night. Seems to be fine. Disaster averted! Also spackled over all the nails in the paneling, all scrapes, all nail holes, etc. etc. We all worked on it for awhile last night...I think we pretty much finished! So...for today, we might get sanding done before music night and wipe everything down, and tomorrow I can start with the sealant and then paint by the weekend. Whew. I'll be so happy when this is all done!
Ya know...it don't seem fair that Bakshi (*shudder*) would be allowed and anime wouldn't....or was that just a joke? I know rulez is rulez...I just don't unnerstand that one.
I need a new book. Finished Collie Willis' Bellwether. Hm...may be time for more Alistair MacLean.
It's starting out above zero today, which is nice. Supposed to get up to 10. Heh.
Ain't that the truth!
I like the chunky look of 'em. Very nice looking.
Off to a slow start this morning.
Or else I forgot to brush my teeth...
7.63? er... oops, 7.62
g'mornin'
'Bout time you got here.
Busy?
I should be. And kinda am. But between projects for a bit.
