Well it's getting to be about that time of the day again, so I reckon I'll just hobble on over to the update and todays word threads and have some fun.

ahhh, back home. now to start editing some more photos.

Cool, you're back! How long does it take you to get home from work. Takes me about 25 minutes to go 16 miles.

i would say about the same actually. 25 min. now to get to work it takes about 35 min.

I am NOT against the government, just those in government that abuse the power they have (or think they have) by virtue of their office. Of course this can equally apply to civilian jobs as well. I like that first sentence.

it actually took me a little longer tonight, the CHP blocked a street that i need to go on for 10 minutes to let a semi go through that was carrying a huge load.

i like the first sentence too.

A half hour commute isn't all that bad I guess. Wish it was closer but I like where we live and wouldn't want to move now. Heck, We'll have our house paid for in 4 more years!

thats awesome Randy. yah the closer i want to get to my job the more the houses cost. i like it right were im at. if i wanted to get any closer i would probably be in an apartment or a house half the size of what i got now.

I know that the payscale is higher out there, but Man I CANNOT believe the cost of housing out there that I have seen on TV.

Oh, random thought. Tell me about your XM-18, color, materials etc.

lets see, blade is a dura tech 20CV, pretty new to this steel, in fact i never heard of it until the xm-18.

the handle has a stonewashed Ti scale on the framelock side and a black g-10 scale with a Ti liner on the other side. has a Ti pocket clip that can be set up for tip down or tip up carry.

this one is a 3" flipper. it also came with the newer flat screws that Hinderer is making now.

lock up is solid and this thing has a very smooth opening.

COOL! Is the flipper the only opener it has or does it have a thumb stud. I can't remember.
