Bored on a saturday night. I could have gone out to a friend's for supper and then out for drinks tonight, but I decided to stay in, relax, not spend money. Watching "Sideways" right now. There's fuck all on tv right now! I spent the afternoon at the academy, 60 min shadow boxing and on the heavy bags. The hilarious thing was that this newbie guy, completely scary striker, out of control guy, decides he wants to give me some advice when I get tired! Oh man. This guy is scary in the gym. I've had to pair up with him a few times and he scares the crap out of me. Anyway, I just kinda told him I was training and put my headphones back on, ignored him as he had no idea what he was talking about.
Kru Bob and I have been throwing ideas around for a geologist-specific knife. It's been kind of a neat exercise actually! I've passed the idea through a few colleagues/friends and they think it's a great idea. It's going to be a knife but with a chisel at the tip, and the butt of the handle left exposed so that we can hammer on it. I think with his skill and my contacts, we can fill a niche market. I'm going to take an example down to Rochester with me with some order forms and see if the gang down there might be interested. Cool idea though!! He does awesome work. Really cool learning about metallurgy. Actually kinda neat to talk to this guy a bit more too - I find him a bit intimidating to tell you the truth. I'm still a little nervous around him. He's very intelligent and knows alot about all kinds of subjects, Muay Thai, Kali and martial arts in general aside. I like meeting and working with multi-dimensional people, especially intelligent ones.
