I got home from my travels last night around 10:30pm. Summer was at work service all day and still managed to straighten up the house and have sushi and saki waiting for us when I got home. It was awesome and it is awesome to be hanging with summer again (although she is at work service all day today).
I started sorting and packing this morning after a surf with Conner, the Smythe, Ford and Noah. The waves were small but it was good to get wet. I always have a hard time starting projects, but once I get going and am in motion, it is hard for me to stop until they are done.
I started organizing my surfboards and packing my t-shirts, shorts, jeans etc when I decided I wanted some music. My computer stereo is already at the office in Puerto Rico so I went out to the van, got the RCA plug to hook my iPod into my stereo and opened up my back pack (reminds me of a Dora the Explorer episode, that’s another story though) and started foraging through all the pockets looking for the ipod and guess what i found? My christmas present from shawn…a kershaw lock blade that I have been using on the daily basis in Puerto Rico around the house. It was quite ironic, because I was just thinking, (me thinking) “where did i leave my knife? I don’t want that to get misplaced while the guys are moving the stuff around in the house to finish screwing in the drywall.”
I couldn’t believe it, my big ass knife made it through airport security all the way from Puerto Rico to San Diego. It is ironic that i was held up in san diego by airport security for a box of surf wax on the last trip and this time, I had a (potentially deadly) weapon and it made it through no problem. I am thankful no one found it or i would have had to throw it away…but it is pretty scary that the Airport Security missed that one.

See the knife at the bottom of the bag?

I know you see the knife now

How did security miss this?

Hey…you’re back! I was talking to Shawn and thinking we should have a belated Summer Bday and Welcome Home and Farewell meal together this weekend or week! Congrats on all the work you got done!
I found a leatherman with three different blades, and enough tools to dismantle a pilot and or an air craft if I was so inclined. The funny thing is that that I lost it in a carry-on bag over two years ago. During those two years I have flown with the same carry on bag on over 12 separate flights. On over half of those flights I was stopped by bag checkers who were so busy confiscating either my toothpaste or bottled water, that they didn’t notice the blades. It is good thing that they have their priorities strait. God forbid I clean my teeth or something more drastic in the air.
[…] and apparently the x-ray people can’t even spot a big ass knife: Yep, Stefan was able to board a plane with the knife shown above, in Aguadilla. Yet, if you try […]
