In the past, I used to try and scare them off (with varying degrees of failure...there never really was any success to speak of), but now I just go out and throw out more seed for them to eat. I started doing it because it's been relatively cold here and I want them to get enough to eat, but it has the potential added bonus that they'll eat the new seed on top and leave the stuff that I covered alone.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Dec 25, 2011 #10,804 I wanted to check if I remembered how to hone a knife, so I did a little Google action. Turns out, I didn't remember...but I thought you all might enjoy the video. I don't think that you need to care about knives, either. Then there's this one. The top comment (below) had me laughing. "wow she really knows how to handle that cucum-- OH MY GOD Wut is she doing?" Last edited by a moderator: Oct 19, 2014 Reactions: sawzalot, STRONGBADF1 and Rickster71

Not nearly as attractive, though.

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Dec 25, 2011 #10,807 After watching those videos, I honed like I've never honed before. Then I worked on the knife. Okay, seriously - I honed the knife, then tried it out. Seemed about the same. So, I inspected the edge under sunlight and could see some irregularities. I honed it some more, and it seems straight now. I'll see when I cut some tomatoes shortly if it's going to be a keeper. There is no way that I'm putting this knife through my sharpener because then they could legitimately deny my return request. Reactions: Alex2507

Click to expand... Lunch - check. Walk - check. We just had a great time at the nearby state park. I'm very happy. She used to love going all over the place up there, but for the past couple of years, she hasn't really wanted to even leave the parking lot. Today, though, she cruised all over. There were loads of people up there. Beautiful weather (first really nice day in about a week), and there was still water flowing in the riverbed. We even got to check out some horses up close as they enjoyed the water. My shoes are a bit worse for wear from trudging through the water and sand, but it was worth it. She had a blast. Killzone 3 - not yet...

Adam Audioholic Jedi Jul 5, 2006 32,066 0 113 Tucson, Arizona Dec 25, 2011 #10,814 I just did some Amazon tech support. Someone was having trouble with a safe that I had reviewed and posted a comment, so I tried to help her. We'll see if it does the trick. She might have gotten a defective one. Dang. I really don't have a life, do I?

Alex2507 Audioholic Slumlord Dec 29, 2006 18,125 0 113 Nunya Bidness Dec 25, 2011 #10,817 I should post a review thread of the cake. As far as last hoorahs go this one is for the books. For the record I would rather see doves than grass. The warrior was a great movie. Before you open beer 2 put the guns away. Just sayin'. Reactions: Rickster71

Click to expand... I did. The new Mec-Gar mags fit great. The new Beretta one fits, but the extension doesn't match up with the handle (it's quite a bit smaller) - kinda disappointing for the design to be that way, but oh well. I forgot how nice that Beretta is. Dang, it's nice. As for the other guns...I think that I know where they are, but that aren't where I looked at first. Hey, I figure if I can't find them, a burglar probably won't either. Assuming they aren't as daft as I am, that is. I did find my ammo, though. Turns out, I've got more than I had remembered.
