Man that 3.99 lunch buffet back in the day…

KelTec is sort of the Ryobi of the gun world. Ryobi sees a need for a niche tool and is like, “yeah we can make that.” A lot lot professionals and people who use their tools everyday look down their noses at them - and maybe with good reason for the typical professional use case. But the thing that Ryobi (and here KelTec) understands well is that they’ll never get much of the professional market - so they don’t waste their bandwidth there. Instead, they go after the DIY crowd at a DIY price and crush it. I think KelTec plays a smart game seeing a niche for hi-cap pistols in states with magazine bans and are like, “oh we can do that.” They’ve sold enough PMR30s over the years to have a platform to build on. But, there’s no reason they couldn’t start with the 5.7x28 today and pivot to 9mm or whatever tomorrow.

Neat

That’s a great deal.

Boy, that was a heck of a deal!

Man, every time I see this thread it’s a trip down memory lane. There’s some folks I miss in here.

I have an 8” smithey that I got as a gift 4 or 5 years ago. It’s beautiful - but it’s too smooth. It won’t hold a season for anything. I’ve completely stripped it several times - and it doesn’t matter what kind of oil you season it with - it’s gonna sluff right off when you wash it with anything more than a paper towel. I’ve just relegated it to being a dedicated cornbread skillet. It does that fine.

25 lbs of pork shoulder and baked beans for a last troop dinner at scout camp on Friday evening. Another couple of shoulders today for a baby shower.

I’m glad he lived long enough to get clean and see some acclaim. His version of Smile that was released around 2000 and was his version of their abandoned version from the 60’s is truly a great album.

Man, look at the finish on that thing!

Those first two are perfect little bird knives.

Wow. Tell me if you find my 16mm too?

@BigK is right. A bead won’t do anything a 3/8 nut - or even a stopper knot on your paracord won’t do. But, you should enjoy the gear your carry. So, if it brings you joy, go for it. I’ve run beads from CountyComm and LunchNW over the years. Casey Lynch’s deep carry pocket clips are great - and it’s a true “made in the USA” small business.

Hey, congrats! I knew some kids graduating yesterday morning. I wonder if they knew each other? Tennessee Tech had taught some great engineers over the years - and a lot of other things too. Y’all should be so proud.

I’ve run two separate four stroke Yamahas. First a 90 and currently a 115. They’ve both been great. They are quiet and really sip fuel. I was hesitant the first time around. I really wanted a Honda. I’d buy another one in a hot second. I’ve run a few Tohatsus on skiffs. They’re fine I guess. I wouldn’t take one further than I could swim or row. Honestly with the tariffs, I expect that ship has sailed so to speak. These days for micro skiffs and paddleboards I love the Honda 2hp four stroke. That’s my goto.
