Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides:

I use mine outdoors a lot in the summer months. The edge has held up well. I've only had to strop it so far. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By conndcj: Nah, just a bunch of cops that work in my bureau. I hired a few of them. Great people. They definitely like to eat. I made a little cafe for us in my interview room. Bunn coffee maker with 2 pots, grinder as we do the beans every morning, espresso machine, tea kettle, mini fridge, Keurig for hot chocolate/cider. And there's always something to snack on. I buy lunch for everyone once a week. They are just awesome people. Treat your people right and they'll take care of you. Always have their backs, always listen to their ideas. I know that anytime they place a warrant on my desk, it's done professionally as I trust them implicitly. Well worth some food and coffee.  That's cool. Those are the best places to work and the people to work for. When things are going to shit and you know they have your back makes it much easier |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: I forgot to grab the Redbreast from the basement and the Ocean's is hiding unfortunately. I assumed you weren't enjoying it based on a couple comments but yeah, it takes a bit to try something out. Sometimes they change a bit after opening and airing out too. The Limousin is good stuff. I need to try the WP 10. To me the WP 6 was how you describe the Russell's. Very drinkable but I was not blown away. I need to try them again side by side. The WP10 was similar to the Russell's but I do like the WP10 better. The Sazerac and Limousin do something different taste wise, not really comparable. I do like them all. I am still a noob to the ryes but the whistlepig is disappearing and the Limousin in the pic is a new bottle, so have probably drank more Limousin than anything else as far as ryes go. |

I got Caribbean living by comparison. Usually warmer by the lake. I remember driving up to Winnipeg one time to visit a friend, spring as I recall. Huge open expanses all around, far as the eye could see. The wind was insane, nothing to stop it. It wasn't even winter, and it wasn't even cold, just biting wind. Have some whiskey and stay warm buddy. |

So the problem isnt the weather, it's your deficient little grill-let. Got it. How about you buy a better grill? Or is that why you were looking at selling knives?

The coldest I've seen it here (NW Iowa) was -24 when driving in to work a few years ago. When I was a kid with my dad (auctioneer) doing an auction somewhere in ND, I forget where, it was -30. In the afternoon. With high wind. That was brutal. I remember another time, several years ago, sitting in a treestand deer hunting in early January, and by the end of "shooting time" I was fucking cold. According to the truck driving out, the temp was -15. That's too damn cold to be sitting still up in a tree. |
