Guns and Knives

Well had I known Sarah posted yesterday, I wouldn't have dragged my ass up to the computer room (no longer known as the "receipt room" due my cleaning efforts over the past couple weekends) on this gray Sunday morning for a post, but I'm here now.

Got to talking to a guy at work this week about guns and knives. Apparently we both like Benchmade knives (and so do my groomsmen, right?). <---That just happened and is not intended to be any sort of emoticon. Don't you hate emoticons? I should qualify that with one exception: the emoticon m|w sent me a while back. It was an animated smiley face character that waves at you, but it was kind of small so you lean in to see what it was doing. Then, POW, it sticks its hand out at you flipping you the bird and filling most of you computer screen.

Anyway this guy knows a lot about knives and recommended the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker. This thing is awesome. I've tried many times over the years to sharpen dull blades on numerous knives but could never get anywhere close to even factory sharp. Now I have too many bald spots on my arm from testing my recently sharpened blades by shaving a patch on my arm. I have received no endorsements for this advertisement, I'm just trying to spread the knoweledge about a great way to sharpen you knives, if you need one.

On to guns. Somehow the conversation moved to guns; a conversation to which I can contribute little. I only own a Beeman P3, which I'd been meaning to shoot for awhile in the basement but had put off for my elaborate scheme to build a shooting range in the crawl space using old curtain rods. He reminded you have to shoot it to keep the seals in good condition. So I went home and did just that.



Well now it's back to listening to different speaker cables. You may think you're bored now, but just wait until after a post on speaker cables. Like Sarah said yesterday, it hasn't been too exciting around here lately. Still rehabbing the knee; then we'll get back to pretty pictures.
