2022 GEC Bayou Trapper #88 Thread

[Modoc ED]

Ed, it came this way. I did purchase it on secondary, but it was sold "as new", and the condition of the wax paper confirmed that descriptor, so I believe this is how it left GEC.

Perhaps it's the lighting but as pictured, it has a true swamp water look. I like it.

Agreed on both counts. Lighting can expose colors that aren’t necessarily seen by the human eye. You do have a good eye, Ed.

Yessir, direct sunlight brought out that brackish dark green, and I just love it. Thank you.

Thanks Harvey.

I tried to take a break from GEC for a bit and only made it a few weeks. There was a drop for the gator and I couldn’t resist after seeing everyone’s fine examples.

Pictures. We need pictures.

You picked a winner. Congratulations. Now prepare for your wallet to take a serious beating as you acquire more. lol

Taking one family pic before sending two away to a new home. In the end the Black Micarta & Ironwood covers seemed like the two for me...View attachment 1825569

Modoc ED Here you go, Ed. I just flew in last night from a quick trip to Oahu with my wife and this was waiting for me in my mailbox. It wasn’t supposed to be here until Monday. The fit and finish are perfect. The dye is a little light in the corners but it still is a nice green. The pattern itself is one of the nicest ever done by GEC, in my opinion.

I added some photos next to my new Victorinox Rancher X as well.

On a side note, we were woken up last night with a decent earthquake. I checked on it this morning and it was a 4.7 generated under the mountain we live on,

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

I like the contrast. Very defined and attractive. As for your earthquake and seeing as how it was under the mountain you live on, it had to be the Gator rumbling in his package waiting for you to collect him.

Great pictures.

4.7 will definitely get your attention. Anything above 6 will start to scare the weebie jeebies out of you and at 7 or more will definitely test your belief in the almighty. Rode the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. All I can say is WHAT A RIDE!

I was in Salinas for the Coalinga Quake in 1983... it was a bit scary.

I was go around the corner by the Emeryville Mud Flats on I-80 headed for the Bay Bridge toll booths when the quake struck. Imagine riding a motorcycle at 60mph on a bowl of jello while it’s being shaken violently. Not an experience I’d willing repeat. The worst part came after.

Yeah I can’t imagine anything above 7. We had a 6.9 a few years back when the volcano was erupting, and a 6.7 when I first moved out here in 2006 that felt massive.

Was that the one that interrupted the World Series?

Yes! I was rushing home to watch the game from where I worked in the East Bay. Obviously I didn’t make it before the game was canceled. Once the series started again things didn’t work out the way I wanted but better times where to come.

Saw Hunter Pence play in our AA ball club. 2006 or 2007? Told my wife: "He won't be here long."
Favorite player growing up was Willie Mays.
The Giants have a great history.

Hunter moved in to close to te ballpark and rode is scooter the park every day for home games. Unfortunately, some Ass h… stole it but was immediately replaced by fans!

Yeah.... I grew up in tornado alley... west Texas... I don't mind tornadoes too much, as long as you have a place to get underground if necessary....

I don't want to live anyplace that the GROUND moves around...... it's not supposed to DO that....

I hesitated between and , (too late for Yéti) but black micarta looked too classical. Then asked Barrett for help.

(I hope there's no obscure reason why nobody posted it before...)
