Can we get the story on those scales?
So it all started one dark and scary night. I was in my crawl space fixing something when I felt the presence of something creepy. I looked around and didn’t see anything so back to work I went. Just as I was finishing, I looked up and bam! There was a huge snake staring at me. We exchanged pleasantries and I scurried out of there. Weeks later I can back to say hi and he had left all his belongings to find a better home. I miss him so much! I wish I knew where he went tho. It’s a mystery. I may never know. I hope he is in a more stable living space.

Trip to a brick and mortar knife shop to buy a pair of cargo pants and a tritium light.

I rode my bike today too, after about a month off of cycling.

It's your bike and you can do what you want, so please take this just as a friendly notice.
Try to be careful with the stanchions of your fork and your rear shock. These are the two places, where scratches are not cosmetic and really can destroy your suspension long term. A scratch can happen in a blink of an eye. In this case the stanchions rest on wood but be careful, if its something different.

Well, we had to fire my replacement at work today...so guess who gets to work two full time positions at once for a few weeks :-||

But...it does give me a chance to use my knives again!

Good people are hard to come by. Maybe they should introduce pocket checks as part of their interview routine :D

Yep, first guy left for a better opportunity. Can't blame him there. But this guy was just super lazy, always in his phone, 20 smoke breaks a day. Things not getting done, or not done correctly. 44 years old, was like dealing with an 18 year old.

The calypso jr, this and my g10 calypso get the most use and pocket time for me. Just beautiful knives, excellent slicing blade geometry and controllable ergonomics in a compact pocket friendly size. I just wish both of these models were brought back with black linen micarta on top of steel liners for a better action, everything else about the original runs can stay the same. 🙏

it'd be awesome to see another run of full sized calypsos in micarta!

speaking of micarta, the chief could be in the next round of crucarta runs.

I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing the crucarta treatment done on the full size calypso and the jr. I have a slight preference to linen micarta because of its appearance but I really love how spyderco has executed the natural canvas micarta on the crucarta models as well, I’ve never held one in hand but they look like they have more surface texture to them which I like.

Native Chief, Native 5, and Lil Native all added to the CruCarta line would be awesome. I guess they had to save something for next reveal! :winking-tongue
