Which spyderco is in the mail?
I'll be looking forward to it. I'm also interested in what you think about its BBL. I've only handled that type lock a time or two, on a Dodo, and didn't really get a chance to form an opinion about how it compares the the Manix2 caged BBL, which I'm stuck on.

We are still here. I didn't know how much rain we got exactly. I do know however how much water was in our bedroom and computer room. The carpet in the bedroom was saturated with water on top. the room with the computers had about an inch of water in there. This happened within about 20 minutes after we noticed it. The yard around our house slopes into an inside corner on the outside of our house. Without drainage the water in the house would be about 6" deep. Years ago we dug a ditch around the house and laid black 4" pipe with holes in it (forget the name of it) in it to allow the water to drain. That has worked very well, even during hurricanes. But the other night I guess the pipe had filled up enough with dirt and I was out there at 11pm digging a shallow ditch just deep enough for the water to drain. Actually, around the other corner and down the side of the house and at the other corner where we have a fence there had built up a bunch of leaves and junk that acted as a dam. That was the main problem I think. Anyway, I had fun but I'm getting too old and my back isn't up to that kind of fun any more. :) Thanks for thinking of us though.DougC-3 wrote:I'm glad to see that you weren't washed away this morning and still have internet after the 19 inch deluge of rain you guys got down there in the Panhandle.

Sounds like you had a minor flash flood in the computer room. With all the roads and bridges that were washed out from Foley to Pensacola, maybe you got off easy, but I won't say you were lucky to have an inch of water in your computer room
and it's seldom enviable to be out ditching your house at 11:00 PM. Coincidentally I had some dripping through the ceiling in my computer room when it was falling faster than my roof gutters could handle it and somehow got through into my attic. But I live about four hours north of the serous flooding, and it didn't rain anywhere near that much here.K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
