–Another drizzly day.
–Played a lot with EMP EDCs. Almost have them set up. Sort of.
Month: February 2023 (Page 1 of 3)
–Drizzly, dismal day, though lots of squirrels showed up.
–Just missed a ShamWEri today. God some knives sell fast.
–J-stones for the Wicked Edge came in, so I tried sharpening a liner-lock Nymble. What a disaster. The right stone kept hitting the blade holder, fasteners loosened, I couldn’t find a good angle, etc. I finally took the blade off and polished it up on the Kalamazoo belt grinder, then tried again optimize the WE setup. One lesson learned: clamp the blade so the edge is as high as possible. I did have have one sort of success on the machine, so I’ll give it another shot.
–Marie for dinner: Grace lost an hour.
–Went to Burger King for lunch. All different staff. So much for “familiar folks and surroundings.”
–Bought (technically bid on for March 6) a $50,000 six-month T bill at Treasury Direct.
–Second Shamwari came in. Off-center blade with scratches. Fixed the scratches (maybe) with Sandflex, but broke a standoff screw trying to put the knife back together. Will likely toss.
–Made pizza for dinner. Yum!
–Rolex red Sub came back from LAWW. Nice!
–Played with phones all day. Finally got rid of the voicemail icon on the green Samsung–the only phone which (so far) picks up both hearing aids regularly. Works nicely in the Mustang too.
–Went to the post office to (a) hand them the mailing box for my second “stolen item” claim, and (b) mail the Shamwari to Miami.
–Won a Recon1 lottery for a $2k Shirogorov/Martin collaboration.
–Took the Mustang to Target for sundries, Jersey Mike’s for lunch, Trader Joe’s for bagels.
–Crotch rot keeps coming back. Very annoying.
–Used the Wicked Edge to sharpen a (crappy) liner-lock Nymble that just came in. Did a nice-looking job, but it still didn’t seem real anxious to cut paper. At least it seems I’m using the sharpener correctly.
–FlexSand pads (fine) came in. Didn’t seem to do much to a Konosuke carbon blade. Will have to get some medium pads.
