Which is why I'm real careful about what I say to Tony.

OK...I'm better now Hank. How are you doing this fine morning? I hope all is well with you and the family. The sun is shining here. It is going to be a beautiful Michigan Winter day! The snowflakes are sparkling! We are so lucky to live in a State where we have all the different seasons! (meds are working)

I'm trying to lay out some flames on the 34 today. It goes for body and paint in the morning. I haven't done a set of flames in years, so I need to practice before I do the real ones. I've been through a whole roll of 1/8" tape so far. Just can't get the look that I want. I'll have a couple of months to practice though.
I should be in Fla about the same time you are. I'll give you a call when I get there and see what you are up to. Good luck with the MH.

Like I said earlier, it puts the carrier in a position that can result in no good ... especially in a police interface.

I know quite a few people in Wisconsin that carry big knives like that. They carry knives because it's illegal to conceal a firearm in WI, and they don't want to be completely defenseless. Also, the knife is a big deterrent for criminals... they'll look for an easier target instead of trying to rob the guy with the big knife.

Cops can't just shoot a guy because he has a knife, he'd have to actually have the knife out of its sheath and act aggressive toward the cop.

Thank God for meds Tony. We're doing fine down south here in the warm weather. Glad I don't live up there in the frigid north like you. Looking forward to the possible 8" of snow Tuesday and Wednesday. I like the different seasons too, both winter and orange cone. I've just been busy working on the motorhome. Not that I don't want to go to FL but I just wasn't ready for it, no fun working on it in the cold.

My uncle wants to take his down to see my mom and sister. He's taking my great aunt, turns 99 in June. Probably last time she will get to FL. He's 70 and he's a little nervous about traveling alone. So we said we'd drive down with them so he has some backup if there's a problem. A month of warm weather won't be too bad either.

You staying at your brother's? Done anything more with your property there?

"Never take a knife to a gun fight!"

I would have to say if a guy is carring a knife on his side from fear of getting robbed it seems a glock would be a better choice. CWP's are not too difficult to get here and if I thought I need protection it would be the gun route. Great insurance.

I don't carry a pocket knife. I don't really care to carry change in my pocket. I don't like "Lumpy" pockets. Lol
Is that a knife? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01NHcTM5IA4

I carry a pocket knife Mon thru Fri for use at work but seldom ever on the weekends.
