EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

I finally got back to working on my wife's garden shed this afternoon. The job-salvaged replacement door is narrower and taller, so I ripped out the old header, cleaned up the triangle above, did a little grinding, and installed 3/4" jacks along with the new header and cripple after ripping down a 2x6 remnant to 2x3's. The shed was built some 50 years ago for tool and misc storage when we were renting a small cottage down Cape and was moved here a couple years later when we first bought this lot. My wife reminded me it was the first thing I ever built for us. Later it became the outdoor home for our four large dogs as part of their 16'x 36', pen. Those dogs are a memory, the pen's been reduced by 2/3's--it's now the trash and recycling surround--and the shed holds my wife's garden and yard stuff.

It was a bit hot and steamy by the time I finished up and got the plywood on the little gable end. I was surprised at how many tools and boxes of fasteners I had to put away having brought things out a couple at a time--always seems to be the way with these small jobs--so I went and got the wheelbarrow.

Back on topic, it was a Micarta Military2 Monday.

I'm quite fond of the Laguiole above. If you live in the Bay Area, there are two "Draeger's" (grocery stores). One of them (San Mateo) has a decent knife section, including some Laguioles. Which is where my better half got me the above, > 20 years ago.

Glad you made it! I found some gravel in a corner and slid right into the ditch riding around Lake Berryessa. Broken wrist separated the opposite shoulder. Bike was still rideable minus the right foot pegs. I had to ride an hour all banged up while holding my right leg in the air 😂

Sucks to hear your story. You lived and that it definitely a good thing.

I always heard it as "If you haven't gone down, you're on your way".

In my younger days, my motorcycle friends would tell buddies getting ready to ride in less than desirable conditions "Keep the rubber side down".

In '83 I bought a brand new Honda 500 Interceptor. LOVED that thing! The day I bought it, I hit a deer doing around 70 or so. Still alive and kicking though.
