    Swiss Army Knives roll call.

    I bought a Pioneer X. Then discovered the special limited editions 1x 2025(red) and 2x2026(blue) and i really thought i would carry the alox more as they are really nice and feel great in hand. Not locking but the open blade is more secure than a traditional SAK. Thing is I miss the Toothpick...

    Gas prices

    Love driving and riding my motorcycle. My jeep and caddy guzzle the gas/petrol but we switch to our Mini Cooper when gas goes up stupidly. World market dictating prices is just an excuse to gouge us. So if a steak dinner at a nice New York restaurant is i don’t know $100 how come i can get a...

    Gas prices

    Yes just paid $3.45 regular and with my BP discount it was $3.30. I remember nearly $5 a gallon under 46 (JB) so i’m okay with the price if the results of the current conflict causing the increase pays off in the long run. Unfortunately certain states with much higher than average prices at the...

    Swiss Army Knives roll call.

    I saw the comment about not needing the scissors. I have to have a knife with the scissors as they are in my opinion the best scissors on the market and my most used feature on my tool. I rotate a Climber, Compact and Alox Pioneer X for pocket carry.

    Swiss Army Knives roll call.

    I recently got a Victorinox Rescue tool/knife with the bright green scales. $115 reduced to $89 was too good to pass up. The work champ has also been reduced and i’m thinking about it. Darn Gun purchase is taking precedence at the moment.

    Lithium battery life in box?

    I find if there is a sale on a light or a company has free lights if you spend so much that i end up with a few spares. How long can they remain in their original sealed boxes? I know regular batteries can corroded and there is that danger with lithium batteries causing a fire so they say. A few...

    Gas prices

    Bahahahahahaha i have an old yellow jeep! Really helped with the wintery roads this past winter. I drove some 924 Porches as a dealer trade driver in California from San Jose to Monterey and it was amazing as a high school senior. I think i sat in a Carrera and it would be a dream to own one.

    Gas prices

    I took the bus or Thumb taxi when i was a freshman in high school. Biggest right of freedom is getting your drivers license and driving the family car. I still vividly remember that first solo drive in my parents new 1973 Chevy Nova. Canary Yellow with white vinyl top. Wow! Eventually you get a...

    Honestly i have no need for anymore. I have all bases covered. Throwers, flood, headlamps, bulb/spheres and lanterns. Multiple keychain lights heck multiple all variants. Too many spare batteries. I like talking about them and learning and love this great community of like minded knowledgeable...

    Super bowl

    Super bowl

    The game sucked and my chiefs… enough said lol. I switched to the TPUSA show and it was actually very good. I have decided not to watch the NFL anymore. I saw the first Superbowl the Chiefs were in and haven’t missed one since, not counting the two while i was stationed overseas. I did a...
