We still didn’t do anything or go anywhere again today. The only thing different from yesterday was that it poured down rain for a good while this afternoon with more to come, apparently.
In fact, we supposedly will have slightly lower temps (high 80’’s) and a lot of rain over the next few days.
Looks like the domain transfer is proceeding faster than usual, and should be done in the next day or so. Hopefully the client will get caught up on his end and the site will be ready to go as well.
Need a Kitchen Cleaver? Check out this one from the upcoming website.
This one is sold as either a Camping Knife or a Kitchen Cleaver. The only real difference is that the Camping Knife version comes with a leather sheath.
I love the textured look of the Damascus Steel blades. Made from Spring Steel and Nickel billets, these are heated and hammer-forged, then folded over, reheated and hammered again. This is done a minimum of 250 times, producing the no two-of-a-kind patterns you see here.
This one has a California Olive Handle and a Padouk Bolster. If you don’t know what a Bolster is (and I didn’t, either), it’s an extra piece of handle type material between the blade and the handle.
Here’s a knife with a Cholla Cactus Handle. Note the bare tang/blade between the handle and the actual blade.
And here’s the same blade with a Cholla Cactus handle and a Bone bolster. In this case the voids in the cactus are filled with blue epoxy to smooth out the handle. You can also choose red or pearl (white).
The addition of a bolster both strengthens the blade and helps the balance of the knife.
And it looks neat too.
With 24 handle material possibilities, and 24 bolster possibilities, along with 14 different blade types, you can get over 8,000 different combinations.
So be the first in your neighborhood to collect them all.
Tomorrow morning we’ll head down to Brandi and Lowell’s in Katy to see Landon’s hockey practice, and then have dinner. Sound likes fun.
Thought for the Day:
I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

Didn’t Go Anywhere, Didn’t Do Anything . . .
We never left the rig. Didn’t even open the door. I did put some last minute touches on the website while I’m waiting to hear back from the client on a couple of final things.
Hopefully we’ll be able to go live within the next week. I did start the process of transferring their original domain name from their old site over to Godaddy. Since a registrar transfer can take 7 to 10 days, I want to be sure we’re ready to go when the time comes.
My problem is that I can’t leave the site alone. I find myself going back through every page, tweaking this, changing the color on that, moving this over there, and that over there. And then an hour later, I’m doing it again.
As they say, “Perfect is the enemy of good enough.”
For dinner tonight we had the rest of our leftover Spicy Beef with Orange Peel from yesterday’s visit to China Delight with our friend’s Debi and Ed Hurlburt. And to flesh it out a little, Jan made up a pot of steamed rice.
Then for dessert we finished up with a couple of the Magic Cookie Bars from the other day. They get better after being in the fridge.
Made with Graham Cracker Crumbs, Melted Butter, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Girl Scout Thin Mints, Shredded Coconut, and Chopped Pecans, they’re crispy, crunchy, delicious, and very easy to make.
Tomorrow it’s probably more of the same, but Sunday we’re meeting up at Brandi’s in Katy and then on to Landon’s hockey practice down in the Sugarland area.
Really looking forward to it.
Thought for the Day:
Think salads are good for you? McDonald’s chicken Caesar salad has 730 calories and 53 grams of fat, while the Double Big Mac only has 680 calories and 38 grams of fat. Yikes!
