Stuck with RHK this morning and Skinny Sheepsfoot Saturday rolled over into Skinny Slicer Sunday.
After some back and forth here yesterday with
ac3boyz
about vibrant Hinderer scale colors, this one may seem kinda dull and indeed I had planned to replace the gray scale back when I first plucked it off the Exchange. Despite not having been much of a fan of Working Finish, having had a HalfTrack in WF that I moved for another, I grew to really like the contrast of this two-tone blade, its continuity with the lockside finish, and the overall muted grey vibe of the knife.

On another note, we had experienced very little luck with various solar bird-bath fountains but I followed the lead of a few posters here a couple weeks back and used some small brickbats to allow the collector/pump to float while keeping it away from the edge. Mine was an unattractive solution that was remedied this morning with a floating length of bamboo stalk drilled for the wire loop and captured underneath between the pump and battery case. We have another similar fountain that still works and I'll try the same thing in an old copper trough we've re-purposed as a second bird-bath.
