Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's not a Beatles chorus, it's guilty acknowledgement. I've been otherwise occupado and haven't posted anything in a week.

Bad Panzo!

I've been slightly caught up in EDC Forums and Candle Power Forums. The latter because I've been trying to get up to speed on the new LED flashlights, the better to choose a couple for work and home, and the former because I've been trying to get up to speed on what I might need to have along with me now that I'm a manly man.

In short, because I should be in the shower right now, I have a Fenix L2T set to arrive today and I'm in the process of making a utility keychain.

I visited Fisheries Supply, Inc. yesterday here in Seattle and got a couple of specialized clips for the keychain, a 15' remnant of 5/16" line (for $5!) and a Klutz book on knots.

I'm happy to say that, at 43 years old, I have finally learned how to tie a bowline, a clove hitch, two half-hitches slipped and a tautline knot. I get my Cub Scout rope badge on Thursday. Heh.

Anywho, I'm outta here. Be back later.
