Three Inch Titanium Day 2fer

First up today is my Hasbro Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter. This

guy is armed with laser cannons and proton torpedoes and will

have you screaming for your mommy.

 

Next up is also by Hasbro and is a Battlestar Galactica (circa 1978)

Colonial Viper. This one is piloted by Lt. Starbuck. This vehicle has three

engines that kick butt in space as well as in earth like atmospheres.

Even the Autry Museum of Western Heritage has

to deal with flies and such out on Trails West.

You guys are going to think I'm nuts, but I bought another

knife. Sure, I have more than one or two Victorinox knives,

but each one has a place to be. I just recently realized that

I need one for the box I keep in the truck, so I bought

the simple "Tinker" model. This is a good knife.

I also bought a Nite Ize Doohickey keychain tool for myself and

one for my son. Come to find out, they are pretty worthless. Pretty

much just a glorified bottle opener. Don't waste your $4.95.

I also had good dental checkup this day. I still have a wisdom tooth

that needs to come out, but no other issues. This is good and since

I was a good girl I received some souvenirs from my lovely hygienist.

I bought another very nice knife. This is my Becker BK24.

D2 steel. Stonewashed finish. Blade length is 3 1/4" and the

overall length is 7". Lovely. The price on this knife went down

for about 8 hours. I ordered it just in the nick of time. I paid

with tax and shipping quite a bit less than it's current sale price

Winning!

I put on the second set of grip panels that I bought when I

purchased my BK14. Let's just bask in it's awesomeness.

Now let's munch!

This knife will be babied.

Here are some stairs that are

fixin' to be repaired soon.

"Community" by Jeff Lindeneau, 1990.

Maybe they are pretend building something?

I'm just not sure.

Ramon Ayala will be appearing at Casino Pauma.

Ramon is quite a departure from the last person to

grace this "billboard". That person was Vince Neil

of Motley Crue.

We had a nice Easter dinner tonight followed by a viewing

of the 1987 version of "The Stepfather" at the Borden Cinema.

Staring Terry O'Quinn, Jill Schoelen and Shelley Hack. A movie

with a great cast and featuring some pretty darned grisly images.

When Terry O'Quinn's family doesn't turn out the "white picket fence,

great kids, beautiful wife and dog in the yard" perfect family he desires,

he offs them and finds another one to marry into. Get some popcorn

or other favorite snack and watch Terry lose his bananas before your eyes.

From my last trip to the Gene Autry Museum in Griffith Park,

California, August 2014. This is the shotgun used by "Black Bart"

from 1875 to 1882. He used this firearm unloaded to rob 27

California stages.
 

He would often leave "crude" poetry behind signed, "The Po-8".

This caught the public's attention and so did a handkerchief he left

behind with a laundry mark that led police to Charles Boles in a San

Francisco boarding house. "Black Bart" eventually served 4 years

in prison. Wells Fargo exhibited this shotgun at the Chicago

World's Fair in 1893.

And now my "Die Hard" collection is complete. Many years

ago I didn't care for Bruce Willis at all. I thought he was just too

"cocky". But over the years I've come to like that about him.

He's not just cocky. He has over time shown humility.

Anyway, I've liked him for a long time now. Ta-daaaa!

Just out and about.

Today I took a picture of a little

American flag on a car antenna.

I bought "Interstellar" today. The movie comes with a

collectible film cell "from an actual 70MM film print".

The cell you get is random. The one I got... blows. It is

dark and shows the back of Matthew McConaughey's head.

But you know what? As always, you win some you lose

some. I read that one person received a cell that shows

"a frame from the fade out of the opening title". Ouch.

This is the Target Steelbook Exclusive Edition.

I can't wait to see the movie again.

Speaking of win some lose some... I have had a knife on

my Amazon Wish List for a few months. Last night it finally

went down in price 22%. I jumped on it. Fifteen hours or so

later it is back up to the regular price. I win. See? Cool.

What is a tree's least favorite month?

Sep-timber!

I took this tree picture today while

out and about.

This is the Bea Evenson Fountain in the Plaza de Balboa

in Balboa Park, California. It's nice to sit next to this

fountain on hot days. Every once in a while the mist hits

you and it feels so good.

Random road picture today.

A cactus shows happiness.

Here is the door of a Mercedes-Benz troop transport truck that is

in the queue of the Indiana Jones attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim,

CA. This is one of the original vehicles used in the movie "Indiana

Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". My son took this picture

circa 2003.

And here is part of a little Tinker Bell keychain
that I bought on that same day. I love Tink.

Another soon to be victim of canine mirth.
The look on his face says it all.

I bought "Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunter" for five dollars

over at Walmart. I watched it and it was pretty fun. Lots

of good witch killing and the movie wasn't too drawn out

with an 88 minute run time. The witches looked bad ass,

especially Ingrid Bolso Berdal as the Horned Witch.

It is pretty much five dollars worth of fun.

If you are real hungry this McDonald's Big Mac meal

might look pretty good right about now. If you are not real

hungry, it probably does not.
