Ummm, this is the first that I am exposing on this blog, but not the first one I’ve ever exposed (check my other Forums)…

Now technically I’m not sure if this is a old wives tale or not.  Perhaps someone can clarify it for us.

Enough.  Here’s the old wives tale:  A chainsaw cuts through a tree like a hot knife through butter.

Umm, NO.  And, not even close

Chainsaws DO make a lot of noise!  Similar to the screams, I would assume, if one cut themselves with an extremely hot butter knife.  Not that I have ever done that… And, that is one “tale” that I don’t wish to disprove.  At least not at this time.

• Starting With a Clean Slate Yep... you guessed it.  I couldn't keep it bottled up any longer.  It looks like we're starting all over again.  It's a "new" season. The National Hockey League playoffs began tonight (in case you rely on us to get your sports scores, after the first period the Rangers and Capitals......
• 10,000 Posts! What does that mean to you? I know what it means to me.... it's time to get a life.  Or, I'm full of hot air.  Or, I finally found a channel to express my thoughts and share any knowledge that I might have... Which is why you'll notice that I'm......
• Up Another 200,000 Sadly I'm not referring to the stock market.  But, the Alexa rankings of Where's Our Squirrel and it's subsidiary websites (The NCAS Forum, The Squirrel Forum, and Long Island's Topsites List).  The Squirrel is now ranked at 684,154.  Considering how many websites there are in this world, and that we've......
• Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head... But that doesn't stop me at all.  Like the postal service, I can take a licking and keep on ticking.  That's probably a juxtaposition of metaphors (I hope I'm not dangling any for that would be too obviously Freudian). Just to take a step back and reconsider the reason that......
• Breaking in to the top 1,000,000 It took only about three weeks of monitoring, but now three of our illustrious sites are in the Alexa Top 1,000,000.  When we first put the Alexa toolbar on our browser we were ranked in the neighborhood of 3M.  Look at us now. In case you don't know my know......

• Five Reasons to Bring a Swiss Army Knife [caption id="attachment_221" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Swiss Army Knife"][/caption]Many of us marvel at television shows like the Discovery Channel's "Man vs. Wild" and marvel at all of the things the survivalists are able to accomplish with so little support out in the wilderness. But there's a common denominator to many of these......
• On Buying Knives jayfisher.com A year ago I never thought I would be writing about buying knives, but now I'm a married man so I've been through the whole registration for gifts thing. Which means I now know about knives, linens, thread counts, serving plates, etc. Since M and I really like......
• Easy hack for really thin pats of butter Once in a great, great, great while I'll do something and my wife will laugh and say, "That was smart!" I cooked up some tortellini and vegetables for dinner a couple of weekends ago, and asked my wife what she wanted on it. "A little butter," she said. We store......
• Essential Gear for the Consummate Backpacker [caption id="attachment_120" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="Backpacking Gear"][/caption]When you're a backpacker or a hiker who enjoys long jaunts through undiscovered territory, it goes without saying that you need to pack light.
