    Oh, come on, dude. Just because your kids were acting up today, there's no need to call them brats, let alone ...

    ... oh, wait. Never mind. :oops:

    MDC (my daily cuts): Zancudo scraped some bark out of the forks of some deadwood about 7' up from the ground that I used to elevate the ridge-line of my new tarp (so far, best I've ever used; beautifully designed) that I put up today with temps in the 30'sF out at my slingshot range --- just to test it out over the next 36 hours of rain, sleet, freezing rain. (Why scrap out the bark? Just to cause less wear on the paracord ridge-line.)

    I'm sleeping inside during all that, but will check the tarp Monday and Tuesday to see how it holds up, tensions, etc, in the wind and rain, predicted to be heavy at times.

    Best to test it before I actually use it. :confused:

    A knife can be used to cut so many things, but I use my karambit knife as a self-defense weapon so I take professional training for that.

    I installed a few new light fixtures around the house. I used the pocket knife to cut open packages, shrink wrap, and to cut off a few pieces of electrical tape.

    It doesn't look pretty in most of my area, but the area surrounding The Wax Lake Outlet is actually building new wetlands!

    Was at a Traditional Archery Shoot yesterday which was held by the San Francisco Archers club. An excellent course thru the hills and redwoods located in Pacifica.
    Always strapped to my quiver is a TM Hunt Hornet. This knife is perfect for getting out those missed shots.

    Used BUCK 119 to slice leftover roast beef to make a samich for lunch and used my Leatherman 300 to cut a piece of fence wire to replace pin on chain hook.
