Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

[Prester John]

Just got back from a mini-vacation of camping, mountain biking and beer drinking. I now have approximately, 2,346 mosquito, blackfly, horsefly and deerfly bites on my body. But the beer keeps the itching under control.

Do you rub the beer on the bites?

Do you rub the beer on the bites?

No. But if you drink enough, you forget about the itching.

Speaking of bugs.... The mosquitoes are out in force this evening. The cigar will have to wait until after dark, I think.

My uncle used to smoke a pipe to keep the bugs off while he was fishing. It never worked for me. Maybe Uncle Bill wore more and thicker clothes while fishing than I did.

Lunch yesterday. The Rough Rider folding hunter was overkill for making a salad, but it IS a stout knife.

Lunch.

Guess I don't really NEED a knife for this meal. I COULD have spread the mustard and scooped the relish with the spey blade (used a butter knife and a spoon), and I COULD have cut the onions with the clip (used a chef's knife).

The beer is Budweiser's "Discovery Reserve," brought out for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. It's OK, but I prefer the regular Bud.

Fifty years already.
Mom and Dad made us sit for hours and watch a model of the LEM sitting there doing nothing, because it was history happening.

I buy English teapots when I see them cheap, because I don't think England makes china anymore. This little beauty was under $5, with the 20% off.

I've got plenty of Blue Willow china made in England. But my favourite china is from Japan.

Their traditional stuff or stuff like Noritake?

I'm not an expert on china, but before our wedding, my wife and I picked out some wedding china. The pattern is "Shenandoah", by Noritake, and we love it. We use it for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and birthdays.

I'm no expert either, but I understand that Noritake is top notch.

I usually balk at this SAK being considered traditional because of the OHO hole in the blade, but a trad mod says it passes muster as it is more like a Scagel Hole and less like a Spyderco. Well, here 'tis. Former GAK, now with red scales and scale tools a Trekker, posing with beer and Breitling.
