I did it. At last. Pushed the button on my grail, a Techno. I had some great news from my Cardiac doctor earlier and wanted to mark the first day of the rest of my life.

I know you will understand, but what should I say to She Who Must Be Obeyed???! No insurance payout AND another Spydie!

Under the circumstances, buying a Techno seems like a small matter compared to all there is to be thankful for. Just enjoy it. No justification needed. :D

That's a nice knife for sure. Not cheap either...lol.
Well, I'm a committed bachelor, so I'm pretty sure my opinion stands out minus me actually saying so. :rolleyes:

Never say anything about the shoes they bought.That way when you buy another knife,they just sit quiet and no apologies needed.At least that's what my boss does anyways.
