The jagged teeth of the aptly named Shark Tooth allow the operator to saw through stumps in the ground without leaving a massive hole that would be left by a bucket. The hydraulic thumb then closes on the dull edge of the tooth, allowing the operator to extract the pieces. The teeth can then be used to further downsize the stumps for more efficient disposal.

Overall weight is good at 3.3kg and the at top, with a rear rib-cage cut, throws in a double-cut Tele-like feel. The edges of the top are barely radiused and, on future models, will have more of a chamfer. There is also a slight increase in neck pitch so those saddle-height adjustment screws (which currently slightly protrude from the saddles unless the neck is shimmed) will disappear.

The First Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Rakic for his work this evening. Mic time for Rakic, he’s asked about the illegal knees and says he was surprised at the lack of proper officiating but he figured he’d have to escape and then knock out his opponent. He talks us through the finish, says he doesn’t do back fists in sparring but is happy it worked and notes that anything can happen in MMA. He thanks Toronto and wants to be back home with his family soon, then says he wants a name opponent next.

– Remove the air filter from the airbox and filter cage, and pour a generous amount of high-quality air filter oil on it over a bucket or trash can. Squeeze and massage the oil throughout the filter, but don’t wring it like a towel, as this could damage the filter at the seams, creating holes and gaps to let dirt in.

Over the rumble of the subway cars on the way back to Harlem (“What, you really think we can afford a car service?” an aide said), Teachout remarked at her shock at seeing in the Washington Post the week before a story about how the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., had gotten a key second-quarter revenue boost from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. “I mean, an actual prince!” she said with a laugh. “The Constitution recognizes kings, princes and foreign potentates. This is just outrageous.”

But John is out there talking to agents and some of the big boys like Tomko. John, who was kind of drunk, goes “If they get cute, don’t hesitate to knock them the fuck out.” I jokingly responded, “That’s cool. Just know it’s a two way street for that.”
