Hmmmm. What is in the bag?

For the holidays (I'm guessin') Boot Barn sent

me a $15 off of $15 or more coupon so I went over

to look around and ended up picking up another

bolo tie. I like it enough. It is Cody James, but

whatever. I cannot afford the one I REALLY want
from over at the Indian Store.

But hey, it was just about free.

Good deal. Thanks Boot Barn.
It is much appreciated.

It kinda makes you want to try and... Naw... I'm good.

Happy Friday the 13th, December 2024!

And in true Friday the 13th form, last night while

I was watching "Alien: Romulus" (8/10), a molar on

the bottom right side of my mouth started to let me

know that it was not having it.... and in a BIG way.

Today, in a semi-emergency dental trip it was extracted.

I am hurting tonight. This too shall pass.

Been waitin' for it. Alien: Romulus. I am generally

trying to watch holiday themed or lighter fare
movies this month, but tonight will be an exception.

I didn't even know this movie was out on Blu-ray.
It was a surprise to see it on the shelves during my
weekly shopping trip. I've stayed away from
EVERYTHING about this movie.
I know zero about it.

Mmmmmm.... A late night after work after
 dinner chocolate treat from a friend at work.

Sizzler restaurant.

Bones and stuff at the feet

of NECA's Leatherface.

To do list.
1. Hang outdoor Christmas lights -

A looong time ago I found this tiny dinosaur on the
ground somewhere. I took him home and gave
him a warm place to live in my curio cabinet.
I can't tell if he is happy or not.

I think he is part of a
Jurassic Park collection.

Let us once again look at something nice.

~ Happy Thanksgiving, 2024 ~

One of the walls at Borden Cinema.

I bought this cute little cactus to put on the cowboy shelf

in my curio cabinet. It is a lip balm (which I am not
going to use). It is just 2 inches tall. I thought it was
filled with candy until I got home and
looked at the receipt.

Wow! It's Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell)
from Quentin Tarantino's movie, "DEATH PROOF".

It's not his scar. It's his car.

Today is Knife Day at El Rancho De La Tex!

First up is yet another gas station knife I received

from the National Rifle Association. I have actually

acquired two of these this year. One for renewing my

membership, and one for RE-renewing my membership.

I have four or five of these same exact knives now.

And here is a knife that I bought on October 22nd and
have been carrying since then. This is NOT a gas station

knife. This is a Civivi brand knife. This model is named

the Yonder. It was designed by a cool
feller name of  Zac Whitmore.

Here is the back of the knife showing the pocket clip.

This knife rides real low in the pocket. You have the option

of putting the clip on the opposite side making the
Yonder completely ambidextrous.

The Yonder features a 2.88 inch 14C28N stainless steel blade.

Look at that great shape. It looks stonewashed to me. It has

a crossbar lock (that I love) and the action is SMOOOOTH.
The handle is made of G10. It comes very sharp and slicy.

In the closed position the knife 3.74 inches. Overall length when

open is 6.62 inches and it weighs 2.73 ounces (when opened OR

closed. Heh heh.) The Yonder won the "Best Buy of the
Year" award at Blade Show 2024. 

The Civivi logo up close and right next
to that beautiful crossbar lock.

Here are some goodies that come with the Yonder.
The nice little zippered case it comes in, some stickers
and all the normal paperwork.

I am not a huge pocket clip knife kind of person. I have
a few pretty doggone nice knives that feature pocket
clips and I never carry them in my pocket. I just clip
them to the inside of my purse or bag leaving my pockets
 free for a Swiss Army Knife or a Buck slip joint. But I am
going to give this one a try (when I have pockets).

So far I am liking the Yonder quite a bit.

Knife Days! Hip hip, hoo-rah!

while we watch Spirit Halloween: The Movie.

Gonna be a blast! Hope you all will be having

a great time as well. Haunt safe you guys.

Tomorrow is the big day!

A new sign (to me) at Spirit Halloween.

The Overlook Hotel. I like this one.

And a BLAST from the PAST. I never posted

this video of a body bag animatronic at

Halloween Express from October of 2014.

Man, Halloween is real close.

A lovely Frankenstein's Monster

wreath at Spirit Halloween.

I watched "The Mist" (2007) at Borden Cinema.

If you know, you know.

And of course it wouldn't be Halloween without a little

Texas Chainsaw Massacre and good ol' Leatherface.

Those poor people. I feel so BAD for them.
Their entire home has been taken over by
GIANT KILLER SPIDERS!!

...anyway, back on Saturday, October 29, 2011 I posted a picture

of this Días de Los Muertos artwork that I bought in Arizona way

many years ago, but I always wanted to post a little better photo

of it. And here it is. That devil is behind a little glass door.

This is one of my favorite things.

I love baby costumes. This one is so

cute. Look at those little toes!

Nice lamp.

It was KILLIN' me that I could not justify

buying this Friday the 13th Jason Voorhees

hockey mask light.
