WOW some things from the past seriously haunt you. I got a Pending documents denial letter for my C&R License for a dine and dash that I did while 19 years old. Seven years ago I had to take care of this to get my Florida concealed weapon permit. Since I took care of it back then I thought that it was all over. I had to send $2.00 dollars to the district court house where I spent my youth, this will get me the final deposition statement from the court house for what was charged as a petty theft. The state of Florida told me when they looked at this they could not tell if it was something simple or an armed robbery charge As I have bought more than 20 firearms since dealing with this seven years ago and cleared several security clearances for my job I did not think this would be an issue. Once that paperwork arrives I will have to send it off to them and this will be sorted out hopefully forever, I only wish I knew in 1989 what I know now. The sad thing is that between myself and my friend who was also charged with this crime, we had over $80.00 between us and skipped out on $18.00 bill because the waitress was seriously rude to the both of us at 3:00am, man when they say that some things come back to haunt you they are not kidding:D

I have always been an Ohio State Buckeye and Tennessee Titans football fan, I ran into one of the Best wide receivers of all time at a softball game yesterday, he was kind enough to take a picture with my ugly mug, Chris is one heck of a nice guy:cool:

What is the Best Knife you have ever owned?
willis68 replied to willis68's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
After having my ZT 301 for a few days, I have to say that this is absolutely the best (legal)carry knife that I have ever owned. It seemed like it would be too big to comfortably carry but it is just right. It fits in my hand like it was custom designed for it. I will never buy another Strider as I honestly feel that these are better knives for half the price. I will be buying a 0300, 0302 and the 0550 when it comes out. These are the best bang for your buck on a knife that is built like a tank, rock solid and opens as quickly as an auto -
Please let me know if you pursue this, I will definitely want one of the knives
-
In the last 10 years, I have sent 2 back for service, I had no problems whatsoever, having said that I was a resident of Florida and my Concealed weapon permit waived all of that LEO stuff. also If you have an Authorized dealer send it back they will warranty it

At Blade 2010 a new collaboration between Zero Tolerance Knives and custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer was announced, These are going to be awesome and supposed to be released in July The quality of these Zero Tolerance knives has won me over, I am hooked in all honesty I like my 301 better than the SMF Strider that I use to own, I am a huge supporter of these knives and will buy many of them!
-
The 300 series of Zero Tolerance knives are some of the most well built solid knives I have ever seen. This 0301 is built as well as some +$500 knives that I have owned. I will definitely buy a 300 and a 302 these guys are worth the money I found a dealer on a knife forum that gives me the best deals I have ever seen on Kershaw knives, if any of you want one PM me and I will put you in touch with my guy, you will not be sorry for buying one of these knives!!

I carry my Les Baer TRS in my Versa Max2, there are no problems whatsoever with that, it is so comfortable I honestly do not notice it and no one sees it a it conceals very well -

The Enterprise has Oceaneering onboard, I did not watch that but I know of several mistakes that they have made in the past. Hopefully the industry will pick up in the future, I am taking a position with a Swiss company where I will not have to worry about the Gulf. My current company is so dependent on BP that I know in my heart it is time to go. I have been trying for over 3 years to work for The company that I am going to, I will be only the 4th American working for their ROV Department, they are a HUGE company with a small ROV department and still are under a hiring freeze and I am truly blessed to have been offered this position. I have a terrible feeling that a lot of my co workers and friends will soon be out of a job
-
Guys, there is a HUGE misunderstanding here, BP does not run the ROV's they never have and never will, they hire contractors that do that. Companies like the one that employs me. The Douche bag that did this works for an ROV company called SubSea 7, Oceaneering and Subsea 7 have some of the worse ROV pilots in the business, I know a few of them who were rejects from other companies that I have worked for. So far they have refused to listen to us ROV guys and get a damn clue from those of us who know how to handle this situation. Myself and several others have begged them to listen to our Idea's, but they will not. What many of you do not realize is the HUGE stranglehold that our fine President has put on us by not allowing us to use our own Ideas or asking the opinion of people who have a HUGE amount of experience with this stuff. The live feeds that are being shown, are just that LIVE, Subsea 7 has had a damn Sub (ROV) watching this well erupt for over 3 weeks without attempting in anyway to stop it. I can not tell you guys how much this pisses me off. I could have sacrificed a 1.8 Million dollar ROV and stopped 80% of this leak weeks ago. This crap has me so frustrated that I am taking another Job with a company that will keep me overseas so that I will never work in the Gulf again. For any of you that are interested here is a link to all of the ROV feeds http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=9033572&contentId=7062605

We just looked at and laid on a King size tempurpedic Supreme Cloud, that is by far the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on, we were set on buying the Deluxe model but this one is DEFINITELY worth the extra money and we will be getting one

Well Brandon, After looking for a great deal on one new in the box for nearly 1 year, I came 1 minute shy yesterday on an auction of winning one for $560.00, I have decided they are worth the $700.00 Friday I am ordering a GSAR with the US stainless steel bracelet, while I will be paying more than they use to cost I am tired of waiting for one, I should have my new GSAR next week. It will give my Breitling some well deserved rest. Now I have to buy at the least a single watch winder, any suggestions on one? I am getting it through Chrono World ::Quality TimePieces since 1999 they will install the bracelet and remove the links to my size for the same price as I could get it elsewhere
-
I have owned a few Cold steel knives and I was never impressed that is why I let them go,
-
$450.00 way more than I want to spend on it
-
That is the brand new 400 lumen LED Combat Light, I will get one it will just hurt to have to pay full retail price for it which Is all I can find them for at the moment
-
my next Surefire, just hoping the price will drop a few bucks:D
-
I would love to have that set, I have never seen that
-
Congrats, WineLights very cool I have not seen any in person and very few pictures of them, I like them very much good find:)
