    Do you carry a pocket knife?

    I have carried the same Buck folder my son bought for me when he was 12. That was 25 years ago and I have had a knife of some sort handy for years before that. I will leave the Buck home if there is a chance of losing it, but generally will have something with me. Too handy not to have.

    Thanks for the comments guys I appreciate it. I do have a couple of irons in the fire for work, so I am hopeful things will work out. I grabbed the Variac as a "why not" kind of thing. We use them at work to control spot heat on equipment and it is better to have one than not, right? Also...

    Bittersweet score yesterday. The company I have worked for is closing and I am the guy that kept the machines running, made tooling and fixtures, and general repair and modification. The building has been sold and an auction is pending. I asked the owner if I could pick out some of the tools...

    Picked up a decent pair of safety wire pliers. Milbar-Made in USA. They work very smooth and unlike the HF pair I have, actually cut wire.
