HOPEFULLY tomorrow will be a day of complete relaxation. In other words I plan on being a lazy slug.

Because Tuesday night I have to start back to work again, after being off for two weeks it's gonna be rough.

You'll be fine. You're a tough old Skunk.

Did you happen to catch the post on BF from Jerry about the combat grade ASH?

I know that one is coming out, but I haven't looked in a couple days.

What did he say?

Here it is:

In 2001, right after the attack on September 11th, we built the first and only Busse Combat blades ever made out of SR-101.

In the 14 years since then, we have been inundated by police and military units with requests for more Busse designs to be made out of this material due primarily to its now legendary performance characteristics and price advantage.

We have always planned on doing this but have been continuously restricted by our insatiable need to drink too much . . . errrr. . . . I mean restricted by our manufacturing capabilities.

Now, with greatly increased production capabilities at our Wauseon, Ohio shop we are proud to announce that the time has finally arrived!

As part of our new “Operation 2 weeks” we will be offering some new, and some classic Busse designs in this high performance, high value category.

The first blade to be offered in this series will be a “Battle Grade ASH 1”.

These Battle Grade models will be run in very limited numbers and will not be offered again for at least another year or two . . . or maybe never. To start with, these models will only be offered for approximately “2 weeks”. All of the above is subject to change, but that is the plan as of right now.

So stay tuned for the launch of the “Battle Grade”.

Let's Drink!

Jerry

Paragraph 4 mentions greatly increased production capabilities.

Could this be the phasing out of Scrap Yard?

Yeah, that I had seen. I'm just waiting for the announcement of when and how much.

There's been some speculation about that. I'm not even close to being qualified to answer that. But in MY not informed opinion, I would say if any was getting the ax it would be the swamp. If Jerry is going to start making less expensive BUSSE models, then it would only seem logical to me at least to keep Busse Combat for the high end and mid tier and the yard for the more user inclined.

Jerry is head Hog of Busse Combat, and if memory serves Patti runs the Swamp. So the Yard is the only "Company" not directly controlled by Jerry or his wife. To me it would make sense to combine Busse and the Swamp since they are both operated by husband and wife.

Good morning, everybody.
