yeah, guns, pc's, reo's, guitars. What the heck is wrong with me. I can make any hobby expensive, it's my god given gift.
At least we aren't all collecting flashlights or pocket knives, having them shipped to the middle of a city. lmao what do you need a collection of pocket knives anywhere past 2 for?? Really? So your house robber has an easier chance of finding one? do you also carry around a giant sign that says "hey, if your going to give me a speeding ticket, tack on the 1.4 inch bladed weapon charge while your at it I feel like staying a weekend in jail!" hahhahaha oh man what a riot. I collect pocket knife tooth picks that I find on the roadside hahaha you guys are hilarious. What a calamity hahaha what a time hahaha.
Needed a larger chef's knife, non Euro (Japanese angle) decent quality, under $100. Ended up getting two electric multi sharpeners, one stones/ceramic and hones and other belt (need to clean up all those old hunting knives) and a water sharpener for 15 degree angle but doesn't hone. Oh, and the highest recommended book on blade sharpening. So what started at <$100 ended up >$300. See why I have so many REOs???!!!! Woman is out of control sometimes.
Last time Feisty "by seat of pants" sharpened kitchen knives she got out dissecting microscope to look at edges. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! She was appalled!!!!! That's how she justified spending too much money.

Wow, the Reo Grand is amazing. The biggest surprise to me is, I cannot flood it. Being a dripper I'd gotten used to making sure that I was careful not to flood the atty and suffer from a drop in vapor and worse juice my mouth or leaking everywhere.
why oh why did I not get this a year ago when I first saw it
Already planning for Reo #2.
Almost forgot to give ya a BIG CONGRATS!!!!
trying to figure that out. Definitely a brass RM2. If I get Copper with black door then I could mix and match. I'd have either all copper and all black or two copper and black. Of course I could go Black and blue to match the jeep.
Or maybe get two more
Don't feel bad about flooding it. I have had my RM2 for a whole hour and the last time I squonked it, I had juice flowing out the top of my drip tip...... It took about 8 drags before the vapor came back.
I have Henckels, Shun, Wustof, Global (etc...) chef's knives. My favorite and the one I grab without thinking (kinda like a Reo
): the Oxo Good Grips 8" for 20 bucks...Amazon.com: OXO Good Grips Professional 8-Inch Chef Knife: Kitchen & Dining
that was crazy. I can't wait to own a jeep with a reo in the cup holder.
Great place to learn about them is at Jeep forum They aren't fast, they don't get good gas mileage. They are the most capable production 4x4 you can get. Plus nothing like driving with no top or doors on.
I just got my drivers license today lol. We're looking at a 2005 grand cherokee and our town's state highschool mechanics teacher fixes up pre 2001 sport cherokees and sells them in the fall/winter. He said last month that he will begin buying his stock early october so we're also waiting for a call from him. So we will see. Getting a jeep probably isn't the best financial decision I'll ever make but it will get my foot in the door and allow me to work a job that will make me more money than I made before I got this little plastic ID card ;D
Feisty, that is the most original and hilarious justification for spending money I have ever come across! Excellent!!

I ordered an 8" Global. Reading the OXO reviews, WOW Great reviews. An OMdoG price, too. I really need a new 10". The one I have I hate using because of the ill fit in my hand and lack of balance. Ordering up right now. What's another $20. Thanks bunches.

Doesn't look like OXO has a 10". Damn.
For 20 bucks, take a gamble on the Oxo and try it anyway. If you don't think it's an awesome knife, I'll buy it from you
