Buck 639 Field Mate

A quick look for you folks – found another orphan that needed a loving home . . .

The initial clean up came out nice, don’t you think? – I couldn’t make myself take a pic of it when I started – it was being used as a drywall knife / tool – some people’s children – Hell – some people shouldn’t be allowed to have children . . .

It’s actually in good shape for a 1987 knife – if you are curious about how old your Buck knife is << CLICK HERE >> and go to Buck’s website and find out for yourself . . .

The first dressing on the blade brought out 4 or 5 tiny nicks – which is going to take longer than you can imagine to “cure” as the Buck 639 is a very hard steel and does not lend itself to setting the profile deeper into the blade – you would have been hard pressed to cut yourself with it when I started on it – it took about 30 minutes to get enough of an edge on it to find the nicks – you can’t really see them as much as feel them – the only way I got a decent look at them was with a magnifying glass . . .

For 30 bucks what do you expect? I’ll dump 2 to 4 more hours of labor into the edge and probably another hour into cleaning it and end up with a really great knife – in average condition they are moving at about 175 to 200 bucks – but the problem there being if I sell it there is no replacing it with anything equivalent for less than 4 to 6 hundred dollars . . .

What’s in YOUR pocket??

Randomized Randoms – No Sorting – Just posting the Pile up here for Y’all

I sort through about 4 or 5 piles like this every few days – I’m feeling lazy with this pile so here you go – Enjoy!

Not only that – but the internet has ruined you . . .

Trust me when I say this – EVERY thing that goes through the internet is known – where it originates – where it goes – when it goes – how it goes – who it goes to – So . . . you have to ask yourself – Why?? – Why is all this stupid happens? – Who would be exposed? Would our feckless leaders be exposed? – or controlled?

Thank God I’m not allergic to latex – just saying . . .

I worked in a shop once where some asshole thought it would be funny to switch out the real coffee with decaf – It. did. not. end. well.

The wearing of the green ’tis a Fine Thing . . .

The Flamingo demanded to be included in the flower pics – so here you go . . .

This next one is one of my favorites . . .

My blushing bride was breathing pretty hard when she found out what I paid for some of these – when the single bulb lilies start blooming I will try to get some pics for you folks – I paid a ridiculous price per bulb for some of them but they are incredible . . .

Here’s one of the single bulb plants ( one bulb = one stem = one bloom )

The ones you see in the top pic – up under the flamingo are single stem multiple blooms and they are cool – but the single bloom ones are stunning – the problem in getting pics is the bloom only last a day or three – but I will try to get some pics for all y’all . . .

I’m getting the Sig P232 post ready to go – it will be at least 2 parts if not 3 – going to do something a little different with the post(s) . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Only 260 Days until St Patrick’s Day!

The wearing of the green ’tis a fine thing – but one thing first – I have watched this about a hundred times if I have watched it once – you think she would stop and adjust the straps on that bra . . .

Every Time! – them sweater puppies jump out Every Time – Oh My . . .

Anyway – on with the post . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Headed Off to Start My Week – With a Song in My Heart!!

what do YOU play for a sound track in YOUR head to set YOUR mind right for another WONDERFUL week at work – and you have to click through to the TUBE – some fucking shit about for the children – or some such shiit!

All Y’all have a GREAT week . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Rain Drop Dodging on a Saturday

Just trying to get “stuff” done – new wipers on my Blushing Bride’s steed – Check – gas in her steed – Check – Enthusiasm level – not present . . .

So here’s the Cimarron with one coat of wax . . .

Starting on the second coat . . .

Actually starting to get shiny . . .

Back together – ready for a light rub with a micro fiber cloth . . .

Looks a lot better in person than in the pic – BBQ ready!

About that strip them down and wax thing – or in the case of my EDC Rock Island chase all the dust bunnies out – the Wilson combat recoil spring and guide thing – The base of the guide rod is a tiny bit bigger than the RIA – makes it a real bitch to get apart or put back together – I skinned about a 1/16 of an inch of the circumference of the base of the guide rod – the end that sits on the barrel – it was simple but a little bit of a time consumer – Mr Belt Sander to the rescue!!

The little darling all ready to go back in service . . .

Hope to get off my lazy ass and get the pics done for this . . .

You didn’t even notice I was gone — did you? I finally said the Hell with it and mowed – it looked like the heavens were going to open up most of the day – misty all day – I start mowing and the sun comes out – Boom! – hot as can be with humidity to go with it!

Gonna eat supper an get to the range and wring the p232 out – then sort through all the pics and get a review for y’all . . .

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
