–Took Grace shopping at Bel Air.
–Took a shower and shave.
Month: February 2023 (Page 3 of 3)
–Spent hours playing with/swapping parts on a couple of EMP EDC Nymbles. Ended up leaving things as they were: blade 1 in frame 2 was a laughably poor fit. One more Nymble coming.
–Frozen for dinner.
–Slow day today. Trying to get Android Auto working in the Mustang, one way or another.
–Shirogorov/Sinkevich dark Bio came in. Nice. Not shiny like the light Bio, however.
–Played with Oz Roosevelts all day. Discovered the stop pin on the first one I bought was longer than all the other stop and scale pins because of the aftermarket scale that came on it. I can’t put the original scale back on (correctly) until I get an otiginal (shorter) pin. Crap.
–Made pizza for dinner.
–EMP EDC Nymble knife package came in; it had been opened (crushed or cut, hard to say) and the knife was missing. Messaged seller on Blade Forums. He quickly put in a claim, expects resolution soon. He seems to be unaware (ignoring? naive? scamming?) that the knife, according to the PO, had the standard Priority Mail insurance of “up to $100” (knife cost me $365). He said he told the PO the price in his claim, but that doesn’t mean (to me) that they’ll reimburse him $365. We’ll see.
–Third Oz Roosevelt came in. Nice smooth titanium scales, perfect centering. I believe this is the one I’ll keep. Was thinking of putting one of the other blades on it, but it turns out the blades have the serial number, and the COA card for the other knife (in addition to having the serial on it) says “speed holes.” There went that idea.
–Took a couple of very nice pictures of an abutilon bloom. The Q2 is a great camera. I’m the limiting factor.
–Rowena the mail carrier came to deliver a package and chat. Nice.
–Had a nasty email exchange with Lee Elliott last night. He claimed again that a $400k CD was maturing–March 31 this time. I asked for proof and he went bananas. What a disgusting little shit.
–Had to call Ally and resubmit all wire info, for security purposes. Looks like Kirill won’t ship until he has proof of wire. That sucks.
–Went to Target for Zone Perfect, shampoo, milk and cream.
–Went to Costco for sparkling water, dessert, pretzels, gas. Their new gas station costs exactly the same as the nearby Arco–but it and the store were nearly empty.
–Dr. Stegman is retiring in March; no room for Grace. We may both be looking for local MDs.
