Don't ask me how I know which one is your daddy ,,, I'm sure! ,, and if you don't try harder at school you'll end just like him ,,, tied down to a dead-end job, no hope, no future, no pancakes, no wide-screen TV ,, no goddam PlayStation ,,, no sodding Facebook ,,, no god-forsaken internet ,,,,,,
in the beginning there were many hours of thinking, sleepless nights
,,,,and reams of sketches. Then bars of titanium, bronze and brass appeared ,,, some minature ball-bearing races, stainless balls and loads of shop time and,,,,,,,,
This is totally useless ,,, it just sits on my desk and I poke it now and then.
Somebody suggested I should make a robot so here it is,,, mostly Titanium with some stainless pins and brass washers ,, about 2" high. most things turn or swivel.
My current watches are a Titanium Briel ,,, here with a NATO strap but I've put the Ti strap back on now ,,, and a MWC G1098 built to a North American spec in Titanium with a kinetic movement ,,, Tritium vials on the face and hands and Super Luminova digits. This thing is so bright I can read by the glow.
I like using a carbide sharpener on my work knife as it leaves a ragged edge which is good for cutting through hard plastics like polypropylene rope ,,,, a smoothie edge just slips
We had a few disagreements but the straw that broke the camel's back was when somebody posted a picture of their cannabis EDC kit. The management deleted the post saying that because dope use was illegal in some countries and States it was not appropriate content for the EDCF .. I made the comment that gun carry was not legal in many countries and states and asked that they delete those posts as well.
Face to face with their own bigoted hypocrisy and blinkered tunnel vision I guess they had no choice ,,,,, it was either me or half of the USA.
I miss the banter and also the serious discussion ,,,, are there other forums out there?
