Sorry! I could have sworn you were Crissa!

True. I happen to like a "rad-looking" blade that performs great and not a fake etching. The etching doesn't hold up. I returned one of those for refund and got it. Maybe just one doesn't represent all laser etching, but I like what this man builds. His tomahawks are great too. I have a great...

We may have to stand guard. BTW, the watermill in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind is in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

It is only overkill if your peak load suggests so. My peak load on my home was 17Kw. A 20 Kw Generac gave me a comfortable reserve capacity. Your electric company can tell you what your peak load over a one year period was. that is how we properly sized my unit. I don't have to worry about a...

May I make a suggestion? See who "Angie's List" recommends for a contractor for that job. Their suggestion was spot on. Can't guarantee yours, BUT, If you like, I will give you the contact information on my contractor. Maybe they can give you a quality referral. Mine was $8500 installed for the...

I am Southern folk. I am as Southern as they come, and a direct descendent of the Confederacy. I'm not "hair on fire". I'm saying not everyone visiting the Texas "biopreserve" will be as cognizant of the potential dangers lurking, that's all. Educating visitors a bit instead of letting them run...

That is correct, Crissa, but there are blade makers who use the Damascus techniques with the better grade steels rather than "crappy base metals" to give one the advantage of high quality high carbon steels and a true Damascus also. As I said which supports what you said, "all that glitters is...

This is the first summer I haven't seen it yet. May just have missed its ingress and egress. Hope so.

Yes. Some people don't read carefully, and others don't know what they are reading, but think they do. The more educated I became, the more ignorant I realized I was because there is SOOooo much out there in the universe that I can never learn. A "know-it-all" I will never ever be. I humbly...

I doubt closing the garage door will suffice. Every summer I observe a black snake wind its way between the concrete and where the vinyl flashing and brick siding meet. There is no significant visible gap, but it manages to get in and out and sets up housekeeping inside the wall of my garage. I...

No, it didn't fail. He was referring to Sodium the metal (Na), not sodium the ion (as in table salt), and H2O (water), not H2O2 hydrogen peroxide. Sodium the metal is so soft you can cut it with a knife. It is also so unstable and reactive to water that it must be stored under oil, because the...

As in everything else, I guess it all depends on the craftsman and the materials used. I had a laser etched blade that rubbed off when Frog Lubing the blade for rust prevention.

Read my response.

That is true, except for the fact that even figuring the cost of natural gas and maintenance, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages under some circumstances. Yes, solar has advantages but disadvantages as well. My generator requires only annual maintenance. Oil change and plug change, and...

You are right. New friends can become good friends, and they may even become old friends, but never good old friends for life. You only get those once in life.

You've got a point there, as in "all that glitters is not gold!" I have a knife collection. Damascus blades are highly desirable, but not all that appears to be Damascus is true Damascus. Some is laser etched merely to appear Damascus.

Heck yes! Well, wrong place wrong time with the shark, but very very lucky. And yes, we were fearless. When you are that age, you live forever. At my age, you are fearless because you have little left and you want to make it count. Somewhere in the middle you are altruistic and you do what needs...

Boots and cup are all you need then! Maybe something to hold it on?

Yes, but not necessarily "bare free". All that might be naked may not be of the variety that one wishes to see! That's why 5 star hotels are better. At least there the hookers are prime and certified annually to have been disease free at the beginning of their long and illustrious career. Sense...

And 100% true! I also have an "almost eaten by a Great White Shark" story with the same friend Clark , also in the 8th grade while surfing in Manhattan Beach, Calif. We were best friends from the 2nd grade. 60 years of friendship. I lost him two summers ago. He was the last. I'm the last one...
