When I heard the woman was upset her channel was being demonetized and she went off, I thought Derek was involved somehow, someway. Tell us the the truth you radicalized her!

So I've always liked knives, and over the past 8 years or so I have started collecting in earnest. Mostly practical pocket knives to be carried and abused, but lately I've been getting into higher end stuff, exotic steels, different handle materials..... ive built a few from kits, my latest is a damascus steel blade and bolster lockback with abalone handles (pic below). Very easy kit, the only real work was finishing the abalone scales. They came rough sawed, had to sand them down to 1500 grit, then polish to bring out the abalone through the acrylic. I'm also tending to look at more traditional patterns vs the modern pocket clip, liner or side lock quick open knives. Picked up a case stockman while I was in Pittsburgh in February, and grabbed up a small buck lockback with rosewood handles and silver-nickel bolsters over the weekend. Currently looking at some bear and son damascus blade smooth bone handled folders. Damn expensive but oh so pretty, and their damascus is much higher quality than any other I've seen.

Mike probably doesn't sell many Supertech R boots and Harley parts in the same order...

it might sell quick if you have a tailor modify it.

Installed a new tail bag on the MT in preparation for the gap trip. It's a sport touring bike........right?

How many channels of crappy unintelligible content can they keep paying dudes for?

I cant think of any great places in Ohio. There are ok places. Which pretty much sums up the state. Ohio. It's ok.

If every state of the US was a different flavor, Ohio would be vanilla.

All on line, except for a few exceptions. Like an accommodation for a special needs child, or a really poor district that has no computers. But those exceptions are rare. That refers to the state tests, there are a boatload of other mandatory tests. Reading tests for incoming kids for example. English second language students. The ACT's are now mandatory for all children. Except for the last month and a half of the school year there is mandatory testing going on every month somewhere in the district...often every day of the month. At the high school we have a week where only part of the kids come in each day....massive testing for them...then the next day another wave of kids come in. It's the only way we can get it done with minimal disruption. We have a whole department now that is just in charge of figuring it all out and making it happen. It's nuts. I/we get that we need to measure the kids, and measure our own performance, but at some point you need to actually teach the children too.
