What did you do today while carrying a Buck Knife?

On another forum I visit there is a thread called what did you do today. I am hijacking the thread and changing it to the title above. Hope you guys will join along.
My pic is from last week. We are building two new spillways for a water authority. I am on the crew doing the upper damn spillway. Beautiful place to work in the woods. I am carrying my two bladed 113 Workman.

Cut my lawn and my mother in laws. Use my 110 ecolite to trim extra weed wacker line and to cut off a wild grape vine that was sticking out of my hedge.

Everyone else has the cool jobs. Argh! Lucky, lucky and lucky spike.

I thought you would never ask what I did spike (excellent thread). I went for a good walk in the nearby wetlands with my Bucklite 424, 2010 Canadian Tire reissue, in my pocket:

This big fella, adult Bald Eagle, was high up in an old oak:



This Blue Heron was on the hunt:

I carried my 112, Vantage select and a 303 and went to my nephews birthday party. I gave him his first Buck knife, a 112. I told him it was the first knife I was given, so now its the first knife he was given... I gave him a 3 dot 112. I was given a 1994 112 by my wife.

Cool stuff guys.
I went coyote calling and took my Selector along. We had great fun. DM

Mostly honey-doos.

Bit of a drive in the country to see some wild game (today's count was a dozen geese in pastures, a half dozen wild turkeys, several ducks -- including a pair of mallards crossing the road -- and a solitary white-tailed doe in a horse pasture).

Then some food preps with the Buck 501 (apples and pears), and some left-over steak with the Buck 426 drop-point I got recently.

Opened a box and a case of TP with the 501. Used the 501 to trim off that stupid "sealed for your protection" paper-backed foil they glue over the opening of a jug of salsa.

Probably a bunch of other insignificant tasks that involve cutting that are so normal I don't even think about them.

In the end, though, it was all domestic.

Oh -- damn -- nearly forgot. I did a salad with a Buck Chef's knife. Did you know that with a little care, you can do all the different little jobs, including doing sectioned tomatoes, with that knife? Also used it to slice up the onions for the grilled burgers.

Ho hum. Just another day around the house with Buck.

[David Martin]

Burgers on the grill sound good. DM

[spike116]

Thanks for the responses guys. I hope more will chime in.
Congrats on the Coyote. Will you get him mounted?
We gangformed more walls in the rain today. Looks like showers here all week so it's gonna be a wet one.

[David Martin]

No, I just share my adventures with you guys. DM

[garddogg56]

Dave nice yote.normally when working I carry a 112 on the belt and a 288 quickfire clipped in the pocket and a 303 in the watch pocket.

[oregon]

jb I'm glad that you enjoyed the photo of the eagle who framed himself in that tree.

I think that avion predator would take note & want a share when he saw desert Dave's coyote something like this:

[David Martin]

Oregon, Thanks for the photos. In March I came upon a Golden Eagle eating on a road killed doe. Even the coyote was standing back waiting his turn and didn't care to tangle with him. DM

[imafritz]

Cut tomatoes for my hoagie at lunch today.

[David Martin]

What knife did you use? DM

[Plumberdv]

I used one of my 301's to open a couple of boxes that came in the mail today (containing Bucks of course ).

[DeepFriedDoom]

I used my 55 to play five finger fillet in the office, scaring an intern in the process.

[Diver]

Opened and broke down half dozen or so boxes, cut some fuel hose, cut off a mower dive belt,(kevlar cord), opened two plastic bagged carburetor kits, skinned the insulation off a 00 battery cable, cut twine on a couple of hay bales, opened four feed bags and one bale of alfalfa. 112 FG

Today at work my Tempest and I cut stretch wrap that had been covering a piece of mothballed equipment.
