    spyderco sharpmaker: thoughts

    Thanks for the great review. I bought a Sharpmaker with my last knife purchase after checking out various systems on the net. The only problem I'm having with it is that it's still unopened in the package. It seems with two kids now, many low priority chores never seem to get done. Your post...

    Need info on anti-slip footwear.

    I've never heard of a tape product to make soles slip resistant. I would think that any adhesive would be compromised by the oils that are slippery. In all my years in the kitchen, the Dansko clog is my favorite.

    Son in hospital, not serious-overall

    My image is that you have a very fancy outhouse. I've never used one with a porch. Perhaps it's not how I'm thinking. Glad to hear it's not too serious. My young boys are starting to climb and explore risk and excitement. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable trips to the ER. Your...

    Another quick passport question

    I just applied for a passport for my 10 month old son. We were told 8-12 weeks. We heard the stories about delays and figured it wasn't worth the stress. We expidited it and got it last week. It took two weeks and we are glad to have everything in order for our trip.

    EDC Pen?

    Thanks for pointing me to Ebay. I'm trying to get one right now. I've always wanted one, but couldn't justify the price. I currently carry a black Fisher bullet pen. Wear it clipped to the neck of my undershirt mostly. Always at hand and works great. Only problem is that I forget it and...

    I am new and don't know anything and need help.

    Sort of. Yes, that is the second thread. JS points to his original thread in his opening post you linked to. Thanks for digging that one up. While there have been many improvements in technology, I believe the A2 is still at the top as far as a regulated incandecent. I wonder if there is...

    I am new and don't know anything and need help.

    The Surefire A2 Aviator was originally designed for the job you are describing. It is a hybrid incandecent/led light with full regulation for the incandecent. I don't know how it stacks up to the new led's, but I'm sure it still does a fine job at what it was designed for. There is also a...
