Thank you, Harvey.Another great one from John’s Toy Shoppe.
Thank you, Todd.Nice photo John
Just a Lego train set my son got for Christmas.was that train in Godzilla, or is this a different movie reference?
Great zoo photos, Todd.
It was great going to the zoo with you, Todd, minus the olefactory assault.Took a stroll in the Forest Park and ended up walking around the Zoo. The animals were pretty active because it’s in the 60s right now. A polar bear, a leopard, gorilla, and a lamb. Couldn’t get a photo with the lamb because the zoo was pretty crowded.

Thank you sir.Absolutely stunning!
Cosimo de Benedetto is very fond of the pattern and it was his idea to try his version of a Taylor's Eyewitness.Out of interest Dwight, has the maker had anything to say about the Lambsfoot pattern, I imagine it was a new one to him?
Oh no Bob. Cosimo will be glad to make you one! (I think)Do they exile the craftsman of these classic beauties, so they will never be created again?
Thank you my friend.Those are fantastic Dwight, love seeing them every time.
The Gorilla made me think of Tool Man when Jack doesn't show up on market day.A polar bear, a leopard, gorilla, and a lamb. Couldn’t get a photo with the lamb because the zoo was pretty crowded.
I don't know what that is with the egg but I'd have to order a couple more before I even tasted it.
Sometimes you're not sure if the knife is getting broken in, or you are!I'm still breaking this one in (or maybe I'm just getting adjusted to it.)

Cool trip Todd, I don't think I've been to a zoo since I was a kidTook a stroll in the Forest Park and ended up walking around the Zoo. The animals were pretty active because it’s in the 60s right now. A polar bear, a leopard, gorilla, and a lamb. Couldn’t get a photo with the lamb because the zoo was pretty crowded.

Thanks, Dwight!Good to see you here Vince.![]()
Thanks, Jack! Kind of hectic last few months, but I will spend some time relaxing on the Porch. Got some Ardbeg and a stogie?Hope we're going to see you again soon Vince, miss you![]()
Enjoy that Ardbeg my friendThanks, Jack! Kind of hectic last few months, but I will spend some time relaxing on the Porch. Got some Ardbeg and a stogie?
Thanks for the advice! I was just being facetious - the pull is a little more than I’m used to, but I can already tell it’s getting easier (with oil and exercise.) It’s definitely one solid knife!Sometimes you're not sure if the knife is getting broken in, or you are!Are you finding the pull a bit heavy? A good starter is to flood the joint with oil, and then blow canned/compressed air through it. Repeating that a few times, (until the oil comes out clear). will get out the muck and gunk left in there, and lead to a smoother action. They tend to wear in quite nicely without assistance, so I'd advise patience, but if you're still struggling, there's lots of good advice in the Thread Index

That really punches above its weight doesn't it?Speaking of Ardberg. From a couple of days ago...

A pleasure my friend, you will be surprised how much muck comes out I think!Thanks for the advice! I was just being facetious - the pull is a little more than I’m used to, but I can already tell it’s getting easier (with oil and exercise.) It’s definitely one solid knife!
