The need to achieve perfection in a knife is obsessive for some people and impossible to achieve.
@dogzter -- That triggered an old memory. During downtimes, Himself and several other GI's would sit around gumpin'... and sharpening our knives.

You tested your knife's sharpness by cuttin' one of your hairs lengthwise. Sorta like a wood shaving <-- TINS

With care, you could carefully slice up a curl from a hair laid on your finger. A rare double slice where at least a section of the hair had been cut in thirds lengthwise was shown about proudly.

But then... you'd have to sharpen your knife again. It was a never-ending process.

Throw away crap has ruined us.

Funny you mention a pressure switch. I had just replaced my pressure tank and discovered the switch had gone as well. Instead of another trip to the hardware store I took it apart and fixed it. The spring just need a little bending with some fine needle nose and repeating.

Fixing stuff keeps the thinker young and feels good after the trial and error method finally pans out.
My RedWitch always refers me to others as "Mr. Fixit".

With an hours worth of chores to do and experiencing couch lock, I thought to myself.."what would @bigsur51 do in my situation"? So, I grabbed Mrs S&S's fake boob and then made myself a cup of coffee.

Since I was up and getting motivated, why not another smoke. Back on the couch again, but I managed to knock the list down to .5 hours.

That is a minimum of two full days' supply -- at least seven, mebbe eight separate loads giving more than 60 visible exhales each.

I make this precious stuff last.

Morning! A beautiful sunny 11 degree day! Went to fill coffee pot and nothing came out of the faucet. I have never ever had problems with pipes freezing in the time I've lived here nor had my grandparents who lived here since 1948.

Ran some hot water in the bathtub and put the space heater under kitchen sink. Everything back to normal no leaks. Whew.

Going to insulate the two walls the pipes run along and get a radiator oil heater in the basement.

After all that fun I got my goddamn coffee and bowl going. Oreoz and some bubble hash has made further production sound like a lousy idea lol

Gotta do my stretching and what not in order to drink beer at 430 for the game.

GO BILLS!!

I am not at all surprised sharp steel does something to men especially when bored and in groups.

Used to do some chopping competitions and those knives had to have perfect geometry along with the correct hardening and tempering.
Always gets me going to chop a 2 x 4 in half and still shave with it...........schwing!
