Spent the day in Yellowstone with the daughter yesterday (she's visiting for two weeks).

Not a lot of wildlife, but plenty of tourists (last weekend of the season).

Great Yellowstone scenes @ferider Love the bison. And interesting to see an owl out in the open in broad daylight like that.

Coffee in south Mississippi with Charlie’s lamb this morning. No tourists. There will be a fly rod in my hand shortly.View attachment 2963303

When I was in Ranger School in 1967, the Ranger Instructors would tell a student who was not doing well "You will end up as a Bagger at Piggly Wiggly's". Growing up in New Jersey, I had no idea what hey were talking about. John

In this pic of people waiting for Old Faithful, it looks like your daughter is the only one out of hundred or so, who doesn't have their head bent over, looking at a cell phone.:)

Yellowstone is a place I could visit multiple times a year and not get tired of it.
 
I gave a little thought to what I might carry on my birthday today, figuring that it ought to be something kinda special. My Arius certainly fits the bill as it's something I'd wanted for a long time, but was determined not to pay retail at the least and certainly not over that, as many B or LNIB on the Exchange seemed to go for big bucks. I finally found the one last March, luckily just moments after its listing as a "user in good condition", for about 1/3 off with the just features I wanted--20CV burnished blade and patterned handle slabs with bronzed hardware. The handles had been walnut shell blasted which gives them a nice matte appearance and grippy texture. The edge had been touched up and the whole package was in excellent condition--even better than described. Definitely special!!

I can't handle that knife without thinking of another--my pre-Idaho large Sebenza 21 with Bocote inlays. This was my first large CRK and just blew me away when I first got it in totally LNIB condition--really just flawless. I could never bear to carry, use, and mark it up and it remains one of maybe three drawer queens in my overlarge accumulation and is the touchstone for my now 10 large plus 1 Mnandi CRK stable. It comes to mind as I almost traded it away for an Arius back in the Spring of 2018 while awaiting my hip replacement operation. My wife loves that Bocote 21 and when I told her of my plan and showed her a pic of the Arius she turned up her nose and said, "Just don't," so that was the end of that.

I've always been glad for that actually, as I know I would miss it, and now I have a nicer Arius than the one I would have traded for. So...I safely put the Sebenza in my new pants' cargo pocket in its original leather slip--the supplest, best-looking CRK slip of all 11 I have--clipped the Arius in the pocket above and had two special knives alongside on my special day, supposing that the more of those days I have (and there've been a lot of them) the more special they are.
