We have some promotional mouse pads in the office. I am going to take some home for my hand-sharpening using the sandpaper and strop method.

Sweet!

That will be cool. We have had a lot of pics, but I can not remember any from the Rockies.

That is true. I got a CQB and Persian. Love both. I also have a Buck Stryder, and that is the reason I want a true Stryder.

I can be in the mountains pretty deep in about an hour <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I live right on the edge of the foothills.

Seeing posts like this make me happy for you but sad for me LOL

Tell me about it. I have been working my BD nad MP on a diamond stone first. This is what made me want to get a belt sander.

That sounds nice. I live in OK and in about an hour and half drive in any one way I can be in several different types of enviornments--low mts, plains, desert, etc. I sure like it for walk-a-bouts.

Man, onion news is more spot on than real news.

Sounds like you live in some really nice country C/R! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I will send some photos of the general area as soon as I get that Chopweiler in hand. I'll spread the general posts to the outdoor thread. But, yes, we realy enjoy Golden. We live in a typical neighborhood, but there are trails in the prairies all around us, we have the mountains (I look at North Table Mountain from my back patio), and access to some great National Forest in the mountains. It's usually very dry in Colorado, but with the extra rain this spring everything is still remarkably lush and green. I am sure that the wildlife appreciate it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I applied to a couple of jobs in CO, mostly around denver and boulder, but never heard anything back. I was really disappointed I didn't hear anything back, as I was anxious for a change of climate from Georgia. Ah well, there's always two years from now when my current contract expires.
