  Permethrin is highly toxic to cats.  I get my permethrin from work.  I typically make up a fairly strong emulsion @ around 5%, and I spray it all over my clothes, exposed skin, and hair whenever I work in the woods.    I do not own any cats, so I use the same emulsion to spray around my house to kill all the insects that wanna come in my house.

  Nothing wrong with yoga.  I don't care about the meditation aspect, but it is fantastic for improving flexibility.    The only constant I have is weight training.  I will never stop doing that until I am physically unable to do so.  I also mix in some martial arts, mountain biking, golf, and now, running.  I would absolutely love to add in some rock climbing to that list.

The time this evening for 3 miles was 25:56.  Almost a minute better than last night.  :)     The only sneaker my brother can wear is New Balance.  He has been wearing the same style USA New Balance since the 80s.  New Balance is a great shoe, but not for me.  I have very narrow feet and very high arches.

  I hear you on the shoe.  I will only run in two shoes, Asics Nimbus or Mizuno Wave Runner. 

A couple of weeks ago I decided to start running again.  Less than a mile from my house we have a nice park with a slightly hilly 0.6 mile (GPS confirmed) running track on the grounds.  My first three mile run was 28:20.  The next day I ran 27:17.  That last run was on 5-7-14.  I did my third run this evening, and I ran it in 26:52.   I will be 40 in less than 3 months.  Tonight was just my third run in over a year and I have already busted the 27 minute mark.  I am feeling pretty good about that.  I am hoping that I will be able to break the 25 minute mark after a couple more runs.  To be fair, I am not going from a couch potato to running three miles.  I do go to the gym everyday M-F, but I never do cardio, so I feel this is still a pretty good accomplishment. :)   Anyone else run or thinking about getting into running?

  Deployment speed doesn't concern me either.  Several years back when I got my Combat Troodon DE dagger I thought it was really cool.  After a week or so it lost its lustre, and I haven't bought another automatic since then (minus the ProTech).    I am very hard on knives and do things with them that one probably shouldn't do.  I have done stuff with my XM-24 that would make a lot of people cringe.  That said, I want a knife that will withstand that kind of use and abuse.  The Combat Troodon doesn't fall in that category.  It has a very specific function, and that is stabbing (not cutting) soft tissue, which is probably gonna be the last thing I do with a knife.   I still have the knife, and I doubt I will get rid of it.  I carry it from time to time at work and show it off to people because it is cool.  However, when I get beyond the coolness of it, there is just so much more out there I would rather have and/or carry.

I have a Combat Troodon. Honestly, it is pretty neat, but that is about it.For a knife that I am actually going to use, I would much rather have a manual folder. Flippers with good bearings are just as fast as autos IMHO.

It is funny this thread was created as I was thinking about getting a safety razor the other day and giving it a try. I currently use a Mach III and each blade lasts me about a month. Anyone recommend a site to get everything you need to start as well as what to buy?

I would think that if you are worried about showing scratches then you would want it blackwashed, something like the ZT-300BW. I find the finish absolutely wicked.

Any surfactant containing product such soap, shampoo, or dishwashing detergent. Then use a brush and water.  As mentioned earlier, CLP is an oil, emulsify it and wash it away with water.

I think your wife made a great choice.  The Accords are fantastic cars.  I just sold mine a month or so ago to a fellow at work only because he has been bugging the crap out of me to sell it to him so he can give it to his son.  I put 250k miles on it without the first problem.  I was so impressed with my Accord that I bought a new Honda Crosstour to replace my Accord.  I was looking for something 4x4 with decent gas mileage (~26 mpg).

  Neither am I, and I love classical music.  Heck, I watched Dirty Dancing this morning when I woke up.  As I am writing this post, I am listening to the soundtrack of the movie.  I don't care what the genre is, if it is good music I will probably like it.

I would find the Chris Reeve you want before getting the ADO. The thing about the CR knife is that it will hold its value considering they are no longer made and are still in demand. I have about 10 or so CR one-piece knives, and they are incredibly nice.

  I never got into Abba, but I love the Bee Gees.  Same thing with the Beach Boys.  I would say my favorite Beach Boy's song is Sloop John B.   Eazy E was always a little rough for my taste.  However, I can listen to some of the old school Grandmaster Flash, etc... stuff.  I still love The Message.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4o8TeqKhgY

I wanted to resurrect a very old thread just for the heck of it. I chose this one because next month Jack is back. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598754/?ref_=nv_sr_2 :)

In case some of you might be wondering what I am referring to, here is a Bruno Mars song that Kidz Bop did on their latest release.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C17LbokMAHU   http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=C17LbokMAHU   It is good stuff.  :)

Outside of country and rap, I have always had a fairly diverse taste in music.  I could go from Megadeth one day to Sinatra the next, or Pink Floyd to Rimsky-Korsakov.  One would never be able to guess what I would have on the radio from one day to the other, and since I spend roughly two hours a day in my car, I listen to a decent amount of music considering talk radio has become boring.   About a month or so ago I was surfing through XM looking for something new to listen to.  I found what I was looking for, and I love it.  I have been listening to this station a lot the last month. It is Kidz Bop Radio http://kidzbop.com/.  While I really like the songs by the original artists, I like to hear the kids singing them as well.  It is sort of cheery and lifts the spirit, which I think is something that all of us need at times.  The other nice thing is that you get to hear all the hits bundled together instead of getting a bunch fluff to take up time between each hit song.   Perhaps I am just weird. Let the flaying begin. :)

Just finished day 46, and I am still tobacco free.  :)  The cravings are pretty easy to fight at this point, but I am surprised that I still crave it everyday.  In the end I think all I am doing is switching the tobacco habit for a gum and Jolly Rancher habit.

I still had a Warrior pic in my album. It is the one on top.

  Got one of those too, except mine is 18".  :)

I carry everyday, well... at least M-F in GA. :)

You can put me down for one Steve, and numbers don't mean anything to me.

I would be interested as well.  If and when it comes time to place an order, will we be receiving a PM or email?  I don't participate as much as I used to, so I pretty much miss most things.

I like mine a lot now that it works. :)
