02 January 2014: Home from Work. Coke 'n Peanuts.

Yep.  That's some good stuff right there.

30 November 2013: Haha! I Got Curious :)

It's in pounds.  :)

22 November 2013: Friday Blob

27 August 2013: Off to CalGun's Monthly Shoot

20 July 2013: Good Food, Even Better Company

Headin' out for some AYCE sushi with my best friends, J and P.  It's been a while.  :)  Normally we go out for drinks or something almost every week, but we've all been busy.  Great timing too - this week's been a little rough.  Not that bad, but it wasn't exactly smooth sailing either.

:(  I miss my DHLW notebook cover.

13 July 2013: Mighty Corny Dumparoonie!

Hung out with some cool kids today.  :)

21 June 2013: It's Been a Frustrating Hospital Visit

It's been a crazy roller coaster here at the hospital today.  The scan results from yesterday came back conclusive and the biopsy that was supposed to be today got postponed, rescheduled, then postponed, then rescheduled... which screwed up my uncle's diet since whether or not he's allowed to eat is dependent on these tests.

I know the nurses are all doing their jobs, so I hold nothing against them.  It's just frustrating that there was a lack of communication between them, so we kept getting different answers.  Eventually I was able to get a hold of the radiologist in charge of the procedure and get a definite answer though.  That eased my anxiety...

As did the above Starbuzz.  haha I am an emotional eater and today did not help with that.  Without any gum in sight and the fact that I did not pack my ecigs for the trip, at the first moment that I could, I slipped out to the mall to grab one.

Here's hopin' that the next few days will be good and that the test results come in with something to work off of.  As of now, the only tests/scans that were done came up inconclusive.  :(

20 June 2013: This is it for the Weekend - Hotel Dump

Finally checked my gear this morning.  I ran out of gum!  For the time being I'd picked up some Wrigley's Double Mint gum, but its just not the same.  I should have packed an ecig or something.

As you can see, the knife and pepper spray made it here safely.  :)  haha I hope that I can say the same on the flight back.  Here's hoping!

19 June 2013: I Feel Naked! - Travel Dump

Took a last minute flight to NC yesterday.  I had to visit my uncle, who has been in the hospital for over a month now.  :(  It breaks my heart to see him this way.

This was my only carry for the flight.  In my check-in bag is the Kimber Pepperblaster II and an Opinel that was put into a Pelikan case.  We'll see if it makes it across the country safely.

09 June 2013: Tea Time!

04 June 2013: DMT is Always a Pleasure

It's always nice to have this little DMT card in my wallet.  It handles touch ups quite nicely.  Blurple developed a pretty gnarly nick at the edge of the blade toward the tip and the DMT took care of that until I can get her on the whetstone at home.

02 June 2013: Another Day at the Shop

01 June 2013: Holdin' Down the Fort

Holdin' down the fort while the family is visiting my uncle in the ER on the other side of the continent. :(  Pretty lonely, but working keeps my mind off of things.

Been making the effort of carrying a purple Mooshbot Minion token to remind me to commit an RAOK each day.  While the challenge coin is also a reminder, the token drives me to commit it since its purpose is to hand them out/leave them behind as a "calling card."  :)

The dark brown braided leather bracelet is new; I made that yesterday morning before heading to the shop.  :D  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  The magnetic clasps are pretty cool; I have some with the twist lock coming in in a week or so.  I'm thinking of making a 3mm one for the KillboX to replace the paracord sheathed bead seed chain.  :)

Everything else is pretty much the same.  Forgot to add my pen and notebook in the picture though.  :(

18 May 2013: Makin' Magic Happen

Wedding Setup Carry

Pretty happy with my carry today.

I like knowing that the gear I own is put to good use, even when it's only once in a while, tailored toward specific tasks.

The tool pouch there is a cheap one from Harbor Freight.  I took it to help with the Hurricane Sandy Relief last December and it was great for that.  In it today I just have my Olight, Stanley knife, retractable Sharpie, and Leatherman Wingman.  Hanging off the carabiner is a roll of duct tape and about 7 meters of paracord.

I left out a lot of my normal carry on this simply because I'm at work and constantly moving.  I didn't need anything extra to pull me down and I definitely didn't want to accidentally leave something behind that is otherwise sentimental or of great monetary value - so no challenge coins or jewelry (other than the watch and bracelet).  Setting up for a wedding is a crazy amount of work and I'd rather leave anything extra behind and not have to worry about it.

11 May 2013: Errands and then the Range

07 May 2013: 10-7

I must say, the Sitka is just about the perfect bag to take to/from work for me.  :)  Fits just enough of what I need, comfortable, and a good size.

27 April 2013: Baby Shower!

Off to a friend's baby shower!  Completely forgot to take off the jewelry for this picture, but it's all good.  First day carrying the Mooshbot Minion coin too.  :D  

Congrats to M and J on their first baby!!!

13 April 2013: New Tokidoki Headwear

Got some new hats today.  :)  Came in for the Avengers, came out with Avengers and the Tokidoki CA bear.  I actually had wanted the "cute" Batman one, but I guess they don't make it anymore.  :(  So sad. But these are cute anyhow.  :D

10 April 2013: Dinner with the Bro

Went to dinner with the Brother tonight at Boudin's.  I got sick afterward - no more clam chowder for me!  Brother also took me to get my first vape setup.  I got a minty e-liquid (no nicotine) to go with it.  Not bad.  :)

Not shown:  iPhone, Pilot Vanishing Point, USN Fisher Space Bullet Pen.

07 April 2013: Dolla Fifty Polish!

It was actually $1.62 after taxes.  :(  Om nom noms!  :D  Missing my Skagen 'cause I forgot and the iPhone 'cause I was using it to snap the pic.  :)
