That’s a great idea!

Summer 2021…

Wife: “What are you doing out there?”

Me: “Counting blades of grass for this giveaway I started!”

May as well get in on this. I can count. I learned while young counting my 13 toes.

I've seen ammo, but how 'bout some components. Eighty two bullets and a Northfield Beagle.

83 MADE IN USA stickers & a Moore Maker Trapper (Fixed it!)

 

[Will Power]

TexasTomcat nice array Think I'll have to break into a Post-Office and borrow some sheets of stamps if they still use them....

No more 80s from me that I can think of, so let's hope others join in too. What's the matter with people?

I broke my Boker streak - I had to go back and swap out the German made Boker knife w/ a MADE IN USA!

 

[Will Power]

No American made Bökers then??

No worries, GT! I’ve been keeping up with all the entries in a spreadsheet, so in addition to knowing who’s in the giveaway, I also have data on how many posts each entrant has contributed. You’re at the top of the list with 25, so I’d say you’ve earned a break!

Is this the same vacation spot you and your family visit every summer?

I'm surprised that I was at the top of your list on Sunday, Barrett!

Yes, we're at the same vacation place for the 30th year in a row, I think.
But the WI-FI was MIA all of Monday, so I was surprised to find how far you folks have advanced through Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday; pretty impressive!!
I worked on pics for a couple of numbers while my wife was napping early this afternoon, and I'll cross my fingers and hope I get the timing right!

Hey! It's already time for 84, so I'd better strike while the iron is hot.
84 (=12x7, to facilitate Barrett's verification ) halves of unsalted dry-roasted Planter's peanuts, and a Providence Cutlery Company fish knife:

Yes, there are but it's complicated.

I'd like to post 84 bottles of beer on the wall, but when I got home today, there were none--just four cans of Shiner Bock (which are gone now; I shared, by the way). Got something lined up for 88.

hand counted, 84 party mints in a candy dish, with my wife's case lockback.

85 peanut butter M&Ms, along with a not-factory-original Opinel #6:

(Did I rotate the photo, or is that candy really sticky in the muggy lakeside situation here?)
