Who Is Planning On Blade Show

Dogs

Any of you planning on being at Blade Show this year?

It is going to be something else...bigger and better than before...hard to believe...but it will be

Bring your best...becasue I will not be "had" with the challenge coin this year. I'm betting a $100 shop credit since I am so confident....and that includes ColdOne...sneaky little devil from the north. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dan

I wish all the best for my fellow Dogs!! Raid the trough with pride <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I cannot wait to see what you are bringing for the Yard, Big Dog!!!

I cannot make it (again). Family priorities and all that good stuff...

I'll be there, its my first time going to blade but I expect it to be like heaven on earth! 3 days of knives steel booze and good people. I can hardly wait!

Count me in! First time for me also. Can't wait for the good times and people, and lots of knives of course.

Maybe next year. Can't travel this year due to surgery <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

ill be there sunday for sure ...maybe saturday too

I'll be there can't wait. This will be my first blade show. This is one more
Reason I love the fact that I move to ATL. Where can I get a challenge coin?

I'm planning on coming Saturday, unless I have issues with work. I'm already approved to be off, but my partner is transferring and if I don't have his replacement trained by then.......

I'll be there! I may be a zombie, ( getting married May 26th, leave for our honeymoon on May 28th to Morocco, get back to Florida on June 6th, then heading up to Atlanta on June 7th) but I'll be there!

Jared, now THAT'S DEDICATION AND DETERMINATION!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />And hats off to Susie for being so understanding! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Oh---the General and I will be there as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's all about compromise

Step 1--- I suggest we get married AT Blade

Step 2---- She says no

Step 3---- I compromise by saying we should finish the honeymoon there, cause that would be awesome

Step 4----she agrees

Step 5 --- <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Wise man!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I got approval from Jennifer to go, but I just can't bring myself to leave her home with a three month girl and a two year and ten month old boy for three days by herself. Maybe next year.

I am not sure yet.... But if a fellow JYD wants to dog nap me I would love to give them my address<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> maybe I could stow away in one of the Busse crews cars as they go through southern OHIO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Well played sir! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think you left a couple steps out bro. Don't worry, I got 'em filled in for you:


"Step 2.5 --- Get her really drunk so she has no clue what I'm asking her

Step 6 --- We show up at Blade in Atlanta and she backhands me across the jaw for pulling this shenanigan.

Step 7 --- I apologize profusely and promise to never pull a stunt like that again.

Step 8 --- Repeat next year."

Soon to be married vs already married...DT's wisdom cannot be overlooked <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I unfortunately cant make it. I am glad that a very generous Dog has agreed to proxy for me though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Now come on, would YOU trust a squirrel that wears a superman suit? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

**DT you CAN trust! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> He's a stand up squirrel, just not all that tall!

I sure was hoping to see some of you newer Dogs at Blade, and now you're backing off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Well, life happens. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Tom, that just means more Steel for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I know! Come on guys! I have 1 free Yard Challenge Coin for a new dog that comes to Blade.

Settle down, Settle down, there is plenty of me to go around <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. Ok I will go if someone is coming anywhere through Indiana <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Lol! That sir, was funny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Can't tell if it's the pain meds, but that made me chuckle...and then the leprechauns were tickling me...and the couch started singing...


...maybe it was the pain meds...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. The only problem is, I have a proxy but don't know what to ask for. Hopefully they will do a thread over at Busse subforums like last year.

I will be there sat morning looking for you and a awesome new blade. And hopefully a new coin. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Make an edumacated guess and go with God. Last year, a kind Dog proxied for me. I REALLY wanted a CG Muk. Had no indication they'd be there, but low and behold, that's what came in the mail. That, and a really cool blade that the Yard put out. Since it's Blade, use you imagination and hope for the best. Something you WISH the Yard had put out but hasn't yet? A twist on an old classic? There won't be too much of the old stuff available, but who's to say there won't be:

-- 911LE
-- Swamp Rucki LE
-- Swamp or Yard Khuk
-- Double Cut Yard Muk
-- Magnum Wieners
-- That Yard ASH everyone keeps hoping for
-- Competition Finish Rat Mastiffs
-- CG War Dog

Figure out what your ideal blade is. If they have it, cool! If not, just ask you proxy to score whatever cool and totally awesome deal Dan has worked up on the one-offs for Blade! Guaranteed to delight!

Thats an excellent plan DT!

Maybe I should be on pain meds more often <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Go ahead, we'll come see ya. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Or maybe we should just confiscate them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You know with this instant communications we have now, a proxy could just phone folks if he isn't a proxy for to many.

Skunk, that's just crazy talk! Besides, way I hear it, the feeding frenzy is fast and furious at the trough. Not much time to call before the good stuff is snatched up and taken away <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I know, but wishful thinking and all that.

Does that mean that I have to get there fri. Will all the good stuff be gone Sat morning. This is my my first blade and will be my first buy of a bussy kin

You might PM Private Klink, he's been there several times and can give you some good info.

Done and done! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Wow you guys really take care of each other here. Seams like this is not a dog eats
Dog pen. Thanks for all the help.

Nah, that's over at the Busse forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> We take care of our own here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

N2S, No, this isn't a "Dog eats dog" place. We do not tolerate that kind of activity here, and that is one of the fastest things to get you banned. Now we DO "Mess" with each other, but it is all done in a friendly playful manner.

So, like has been said, sit back join in and enjoy the BEST knife site on the interweeb!

Well, almost everything we say about Randy is true. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Ok I am working on a plan to get down to blade.
Step 1. I need the address of a fellow JYD that is going to blade that lives lives closer than me.

Step 2. Over night ship me and my wallet to the address given.

Step 3. Ride with them to blade and buy as much busse steel as possible.

Step 4. Over night ship my self home.

Anyone want to give me their address and then let me ride with them to blade?

Fortunately for me, this isn't a "dog-eat-squirrel" place either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

But with a little barbecue sauce......

Barbeque sauce would be quite tasty on squirrel; so is a Brunswick stew! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can say barbecue chipmunk is actually really good.
Part of my survival training for the zombie take over, since I heard chipmunks are
Immune to the virus<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've had BBQ squirrel...not so good. A bit too stringy. (Just call me "Dog "Hannibal" Tired")

Chipmunk is like eating a really tinder wing.

And ants are so small they don't hardly crunch at at all!

Maybe one day I'll be able to make Blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Man i wish i could go. Figures once i move to ohio from fl that i hear about A show in GA

Chris A, WELCOME Brother! You have just made your first post on the bestest website on the entire interweeb! Dan has instilled in us a desire for Great steel and over the top customer service! Glad to see you posting, just remember the "Family Friendly" nature and I guarantee you'll fit right in! Again, Welcome!

Chris goes to college with me and I thought that I would steer him to the right place for good friends and great steel.

Good for you GD. He'll be in good hands then.

thats what I thought<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Chris --- Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like you and GunDog need to double-up on a trip to Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

now that sounds like a plan<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> if not blade at least the fall knob creek.

Either one is good, but I think I would lean toward Blade myself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I will be checking my calendar and my wallet to see if that will work out to go to blade. but I am 90% sure that I will be at knob creekvin the fall.

I definately plan on attending Blade next year. It is a long trip, but I will make a vacation out of it, and do a roundtrip.

hopefully I will see you there.

It will all depend on how our health is doing at that time. HOPEFULLY. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

surely you can stay healthy for just over another year<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

With the Chronic health issues Patty has, our ability to do something changes constantly and we never know what the next day will bring. MOST of the time her health issues are just an inconvenience, but at others they are pretty bad.

From what I hear, if is Bladeshow it self that is the greatest threat to your health <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
You know, with the dinner and all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

well i pray I get to meet you some day face to face skunk. you have been a great person to talk to and hang out with.

Thanks GD. That's nice of you. As I've said, I hope that some day I WILL be able to get to Blade.

If your ever in ohio I hope you would let me know. we could go up to the busse shops and have some fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Will do.

Well it's been quite on the board for about 20 minutes so I guess I'll jump on over and do the updates.

Just to clearlify, my last post was written before I saw this post.
I, certainly, am sorry to know about Patty's health issues.

Thank you for your concern Rasmus. Don't let your post worry you. Sometimes she is just weak, or overly nauseous and other times she can't even stand up without getting sick and vomiting.

We are hopeful that this new thing they discovered, it deals with the calcium level in the body could be the root of several of the problems she has.

I'll be there with bells on.... Eerrr my coin I mean. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That would be a blessing, I could imagine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I wonder what kind of contests they are planning! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I heard it is three days of back to back pie-eating contests...

If you can fit yourself in a suitcase you can fly with me bro!

I will be wheels up Thurs AM so I bet I even beat Dan there!!

I plan on arriving at my hotel Thursday evening myself; I want to be ready for Friday!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Same here. I'll be ready to make the most of it.

I'm hoping to arrive early enough to check in at our hotel, and then take my wife to The Olive Garden for dinner! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> It's just up the road from the Cobb Galleria. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I won't be there till Saturday sometime. Since I'm not trying to raid the trough, I'm not sure when I'll be there, but I'm coming.

I'll be looking for you, but I need to know what you look like!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Oh, you won't be able to miss me! I'm short fat and bald! Plus I'll be hanging around the Busse tables wearing a Bussekin T-shirt.

There's a LOT of us that fit that description! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Well, I didn't think of that LOL!

Sad but true! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I'm going to try to make it. Depends on what is going on with the Job. We support the the Armed Forces.

Health and finances permitting, Susan really wants to go.

It would be great if you both could make it Vic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Working on it, Tom. I see my VA doctor again tomorrow. Maybe we can do it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

On the 17th I have to go to Fayetteville VA to consult with a surgeon and see if my hand will need surgery. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> But nothing will be scheduled until AFTER Blade if something is required! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This thread makes me want to go UA.
