I sharpened several knives today and answered numerous questions on how to date their Buck knives. Even the Colonel came and sat with us a while at our table. When this happens, invariably a old friend of the Colonel's will come by and salute him and offer a good, 'edge of your seat' story. So, yes John and et. al., we are having a great time. I'd be remiss by not mentioning that the barbecue has improved... I don't know if it was me or the standing long hours but this puts icing on the cake. DM
