Ice Breaker

My very first Kukri, and the start of my knife collection. It was love at first sight. Bought at the Ohio Renaissance Festival about 18 years ago, today it is battered and abused.

I don't recall that I ever really sharpened it. Still it managed to take down a small tree (or was it a large bush) in a friend's back yard.

It's true calling however was breaking ice. I may have used it on the side walk a few times, and I remember using it to carefully remove very thick ice from my car windshield.  

But the main event was at my restaurant job, where I used it to de-ice the tile floor in the walk-in freezer.
It did the job well, but it suffered the price. The edge of the blade has been beaten completely flat.

 Usurped by my Cold Steel LTC Kukri (which gets abused doing yard work) This blade has been retired for years. But it served faithfully and did everything asked of it. As a Kukri should.

'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking

That was easy

Gee you email a post to Glenn Reynolds and he links you...

Excuse me while I have a moment...

zomg... zomg... zomg...

My power level is over 5000

Thank you for reading.

I'm gonna take a wild  ass guess that 5000 page views is a lot for a two week old blog (I have no idea what's going on.)

Of course I cheated and had a Bredalanche built in that lasted a whole weekend. Some Unclelanches too.

But Clint Smith says Always cheat, Always win. So I don't feel bad.


Blogroll is the project for the week. it is gonna be a nightmare.  I need more sidebars.

I'm sure I can keep this up for at least two more weeks.

Thanks again and come back often.

Title is a hat tip to LabRat and Stingray.

Out on the town

My friend Gary (click to listen) has a gig tonight (8-12) at Blinker Tavern so stop by if you are local.

(I'm pretty sure no one local is reading my blog.)


(Ass-u-me.)  Just saw an amazing greeting post from Mark at Baby Troll Blog.
Also discounted my blog brother Merlin.

Fyi many years ago Gary was lead singer for a band called mad saint jack.

(yes, fanboyhood is in my nature.)


Edit: My friends Gary and (Icouldtellyoubuti'dhavetokillyou) were there.  Where were you?

Next Friday (June 17th) Gary will be playing again. Same time same place, plan accordingly.

I posed her for this pic. I am ashamed to share the same series of tubes with Oleg Volk.

I have a blog sister?

You ever have one of those Luke Skywalker kind of days?

My advice is to turn back now. Seriously there is too much internet for me to handle.

The good old days

When Alan was nice to me.

First test post.  For the record I can't type (or spell) to save my life (and I use parentheses way too much).
