After putting off paperwork for a couple months,(depressing year, lots of expenses from blown engine) I caught up on my p&l statements. While the numbers were around 50% of my normal, it still wasn't that bad. I can remember way back when my net profit didn't approach driver's wages. So, I'm still counting my blessings.

I've gotten to the point that I think I might benefit from a little extra support. I never thought about them as a weapon other than the obvious "it's a stick" part. I see YouTube videos that utilize a lot of moves I would've never thought of. Pretty brutal shit, actually. In the event that one had to protect against an attack, I guess brutal is better. Whatever it takes to get by.
I won't link to anything, but I ordered an aluminum cane from blade HQ made by cold steel, iirc.
Nope, it's made by ka-bar.

Spirits Review #39: Hollow Creek Distillery -William Alan Single Barrel Straight Bourbon!



Bottom Line: Alcohol tickle rather than burn on the nose followed by sweetness and wood. Sweetness followed by oak, caramel and some burn at the end. 4 Thumbs up!
