was going to post some WIP pics but the big dog asked me not to unless it's comparing it with other SY, so pictures will come later. 
 i'll be selling some of my knives and gear to pay for a new toy in the way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> but it's kind of bitter sweet, these are the first knives i've ever made so they hold sentimental value, but its got to be done.  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
 
 time take a quick shower to wash of A-2 dust and hit the sack.

Hey dawgs...I need/want a new watch and was thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these...What do the dawgs think?  This watch uses tritium for the night vision...pretty cool.http://www.nitewatchesusa.com/viewdetails.asp?ID=122 Thoughts?

I've worked with tritium.  I have a deep knowledge of the process of radioactive decay in tritium.  I've carried out experiments with FAR more dangerous radioactive materials.  I know from a scientific standpoint that the minute amounts of tritium in these perma-glow devices are harmless...
 
 Yet that doesn't prevent me from being weirded out about the idea of strapping a little vial of radioactive gas to my body.

I was thinking about that also MM but it is a minute amount and sealed and inside a sealed watch as well so maybe not an issue?
