Need A New Battery Charger

Right after Christmas, my kids ruined my really nice battery charger by popping in some alkaline batteries in it. Luckily, the batteries didn’t explode, but my LaCrosse charger died. This means I am looking at different battery chargers and replacing it out ASAP. I prefer quality chargers that can intelligently charge each individual cell like my LaCrosse could do.

Hmm, I wonder which one I will go with. Any ideas out there? Any suggestions?

A New Way To Say Congratulations

It used to be that you would just offer up a personal congratulations when congratulations were in order. Next, we move to greeting cards to express joy and congratulations. Now it seems as if we have moved on to gifts to say congratulations. I think this might be a nice progression. Now we can make it clear in a very special way the way we feel about others and their very good news. I think I like this development.

Christmas Gifts of Furniture

This Christmas I am looking at getting some decent furniture for my sister who lives near LA. This means a lot of searching for good discount furniture stores in los angeles and then finding the one that will deliver to her house. I want to do it without her knowing about it and have it as a surprise for her. That will really help her have a good Christmas this year.

Any ideas on what kind of furniture I should be getting for her?

The Beauty of Yensigar Knives

During the summer, I had a great opportunity to visit western China and see many different sites on the Silk Road. It was more of a business trip than anything else so I didn’t do nearly as much traveling as I would have liked to, but I did get a chance to become acquainted with Yengisar knives.

They are pretty famous in western China and just about every man has one of them as a point of pride. I picked up a few of them, but I wish I would have bought more. My blade is in my every day carry bag and it feels good just having it around. While I don’t have any videos of the knives, I did find this nice video on Youtube. Hope you enjoy!

Getting the Full Deal For Christmas

I want to pick a Wii for my some unnamed relative  ( who might be reading this) this Christmas season. I am looking at getting at various wii console bundles specifically since I want to make sure they have everything they to play with on Christmas morning and have a good time. I learned when I was a kid that assembly required and batteries not included with Christmas thrill killers and the same goes these days for partially complete systems. You need to have enough to make them run.

Let’s hope I can make it happen before Christmas and there are no disappointments.
