  1. Of Course a knife guy is also a backpack nerd. Had a synapse for a bit, but the straps just never sat right on my shoulders. So got rid of it. We used a Parental Unit for our diaper bag for our kiddo, and the only tote bags I use at HEB are the Bihn Monster Trucks. GREAT totes. Great company as well. My daily carry backpack now rotates between three different Mystery Ranch bags. The Futura yoke system is a game changer for comfort. I'll give the same disclaimer I gave for the backpack game I gave for lights. Don't go down that road. Will cost you so much money. 

    Gonna have to watch what Tom Bihn the company does next. The founders sold to another company and they started rolling out X-Pac that TB the person said he would
    Never do.

    I have two Synapse and a medium Road Buddy but that’s it….for now.
  2. About seven years ago outside a gas station some homeless dude asked my to buy him some shit. All he had was this knife to give me. I took it thinking I’d just chuck it because…fucking mossy oak. But holy shit, to this day it’s the sharpest blade I own. Don’t know what it’s made of but damn did Mossy Oak nail this. Too big to be my edc but what a great fucking blade.

    Tom Bihn Synapse bag in the back? I have the same.

  3. Well fuck. After being out of the acquiring game for several years. It would seem I'm back in. Got a Vero Axon Mini last month. And yeah, I'm gonna need more Vero knives now.
    Also started buying new flashlights again.
     
    motherfuck, I'm off the wagon gents. Send Help.

    And the cycle begins anew

    I spent the morning browsing wurkkos and acebeam flashlights after my kid took my Olight warrior mini. I took it back and am looking for a tail switch light for him to have. Wurkkos FC12

    In the process of looking for his new light I think I found my next impulse buy

    Acebeam e70 mini Ti

  4. Why does it seem impossible to find Bermuda sod in round rock area by the pallet for delivery.

    The place on north IH35 is always out.

    There is another place on 290 that doesn’t have enough supply to warrant a delivery.

    Any tips?

  5. Finally got serious and bought something not sold on Banggood.

    Arrma Big Rock 3s brushless V3. 1:10

    It’s my second 3s vehicle and has some serious speed. I’m sure I’ll have it in need of repairs soon. Which should be easier than waiting for parts from china when I broke the others.

    As an aside I hate the sizing standards for RCs. The Big Rock and the truck on the left are. It’s 1:10. Not even close.

    All of the below are fun as hell. Even the little ref buggy from WLToys will destroy most anything at a big box store.

    Some day I’ll go for a Bigger RC like the 4S Outkast or 6S Infraction, but for now, this one will do….

  6. I haven't combed through 136 pages, and I ain't gonna.
     
    Has anyone watched Inside Man?
     

    Yes. Tucci is great and it’s an okay watch.

    I have a real hard time with movies where the whole plot falls apart if people just listened to the other person. This is one of those.
  7.  you prefer the CZ Shadow 2 over the Dan Wesson Vigil and Wilson Combat?

    I do. At the range I like the feel of the ergonomics, balance and the weight. It is subjective but if you’ve never tried one, do yourself a favor and at the least dry fire one. Crisp break and reset. It helps that I am more accurate with the Shadow 2. Don’t get me wrong, all three are great options and I won’t ever sell any. But if I’m headed to the range, it is the first in my bag.

  8. I have one with the accushadow package - an upgraded shadow 2. Orange grips, used, but immaculate (like new).

    2300 new.
    1399 on gun rocker right now.

    I can send you the link if interested. I’m in cedar park. It’s a phenomenal pistol.

    I am not quite sure if you are suggesting that for me or the other guy.

    I’m not buying right now as I have a shadow 2. I was just recommending that this guy spends $1500 on one. I might be in the market for the upgraded one some day but the stock shadow 2 is damn accurate with a phenomenal trigger. Of the three pictured, it is my favorite.

    My acquisitions have slowed dramatically since this purchase.

  9. Yep, the color hooked me.  I had no reason to buy this haha, but here I am.  Same quality as other Civivi knives, but a touch too small.  I will keep it though.

    Almost bought it when they put a lot on sale last week but this was an exception so not included.

    Instead ended up ordering a Spyderco Para 3 lightweight from knivesshipfree.

    It’s a great size and shape.
  10. I would seek mental help.
    Been there many times when it was the Tavern and now the pub. 
     
    If I feel like a dive and I want to see an old man blacked out in the corner mumbling nonsense to himself, I go there.
    This is literally the type of bar you go to if you sit, drink, and post on surlyhorns.
    The place is an absolute shit hole and it smells of vomit for the better part of 2 decades.
    Without a doubt, we should have a surly meet up there just to recognize all of the degenerates that post here in a low light environment.

    My scale is way off.

    I grew up sleeping at Henry’s while my relatives played on stage. Went to Reagan High school seeing the cops clearing out Midtown Live regularly as I drove home from school events. Then Spent my college years in Poodle Dog, Ginny’s and the Carousel Lounge.

    So yeah, my radar for sketchy are a little different than most.
