How much snark could a snarksnark snark if a snarksnark could snark snark?

Got out on the Columbia this morning to fish for steelhead. It was early.....





Saw a few very large ships.









Me and my brother in law each caught two a piece.





Passed this on the way home.


 
Looks like a good day Johnny!! It's windy as heck today, so I decided to skip fishing. I might have to go in the morning after work.
 
Wow - busy weekend to cap off a busy week.
We drove to the Northern border of the state for a wedding on Saturday and a trip to the Southern border today for a funeral.

It seems that Krekels has become our Sunday thang to do. A double bacon and cheese Krekel burger with grilled onions. Oh, the joy:

Looks good, Dubz! On our way out, the wife and I stopped at the old burger & ice cream stand outside of my hometown to pick up a couple of milkshakes and an order of their fried mushrooms. We figured we ought to take advantage of the opportunity since we probably won't be down much if at all before they close for the season.
 
Any of you ever carry an Opinel? I'm looking at some of the smaller ones, wondering if they'd work well in the pocket of a pair of slacks.

Man, I love fried mushrooms. That sounds damn good. I love throwing some shrooms in flour, and frying them up in butter. :thumbup:
 
Hmmmmmm.......borrowed guy I know the tools too build him and his wife each an ar15. Now I see he is building a few for friends. Not sure how I feel about that.
 
if he builds one for you as a thank you for loaning him the tools, you should feel fine about it.
heh.
 
Lol. That would be OK. It's not a big deal really, but to me if you are going to do something like that, you should just buy your own tools. If I borrowed a car to a friend or something similar, I wouldn't expect them to be driving other people all over in it
 
Oh, I agree completely - I'm just saying that if he were to gift you a rifle, it would go a long ways as an appropriate apology.

Had a smaller one as a kid. Seemed weird to me then so it always got left behind for my Buck. These days, I opt for Spydies for folders. All my folders are Spydies (the ones I actually carry anyhow), and all my fixed blades are Beckers. When I like a brand, I stick with it I guess.

Will they "work well in the pocker of a pair of slacks"? Yes ... it will come out of that pocket and be able to cut stuff. No ... it probably won't be very hidden, but that depends on your slacks and the fit of them. Maybe ... it will be comfortable, also depending on your slacks and the fit of them. The bigger question may be: does anyone who sees you regularly care? My Spydie Sage 1 and PM2 may not bulge, but you can see the pocket clips pretty darn easily. Hopefully, one of those answers was the one you were looking for. But more than likely none of them came from the right source since I own neither an Opinel or a single pair of slacks. :D

We originally got 14 pullets shipped from the breeder. They ship the day they are born, but they are sexed, so in theory they are all pullets and no roosters. We got them from the post office the next morning, but one of the Amercaunas died that night. They offered a credit or replacement, but no shipping of just one chick, so we decided to go pick up a replacement plus two more Amercaunas to keep her company. These are the ones that lay "Easter eggs"...bluish-green in color. All the others are brown egg layers - two each of Rhode Island Reds, Dominiques, Black Astrolorps, Partridge Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, and Delawares, plus the (now) four Americaunas. It's looking like one of the Delawares may be a rooster, but we won't really know for several more weeks or potentially a month or two. Buying them as sexed pullets doesn't guarantee a pullet, but they have a pretty good average for getting it right. And it certainly won't hurt having a rooster to help protect the flock. The 13 from the first batch are a little over 8 weeks old, so they won't start laying for 10 more weeks or so.

Believe it or not, back in the 1930s, chicken sexers were mostly Japanese female immigrants. They were so good, they almost never got it wrong. Then during WW2 they all got rounded up and put into the internment camps. Suddenly, chicken sexers were few and far between and were in high demand.

My family bought/sold eggs and chickens and also hatched chickens for sale. In 1938, my aunt, when she turned 16, got sent to Stillwater OK for 2 weeks of "chicken sexer training" as taught by their little old Japanese mama-san (head chicken sexer). Before she could "graduate" from "chicken sexer training" she had to correctly sex 1000 chickens in a row without an error, as tested by the mama-san. After she got back home, since she didn't want to do all the chicken sexing herself, and my grandmother had no intention of sending my father (13 at the time) to the school, My aunt taught my father how to do it as well.

During the war, she got paid 1¢ a chicken and could sex 50 chickens an hour. (Te best my father ever got up to was 20 an hour and he made way more mistakes, maybe on purpose, :D) Her policy was if she got one wrong, bring it back and trade it in for a free chicken AND a refund. She seldom had any takers for 2 reasons - 1) she was seldom wrong and 2) the returned chicken would already be half grown and she didn't have to feed it long before the excess rooster became Sunday dinner.
 
Opinels are better in a picnic pack. And please do soak the handle in mineral oil or butcher-block conditioner so you get the inside nice and protected.

I often carry a smaller one along with a sodbuster when I'm working in the yard or on the ranch. I wish I'd have gotten the stainless rather than carbon. As stated by the others, it hides well as long as you don't wear skinny jeans...

Seems to me that, if you are going to use a tool for more than what you borrowed it for, someone should notify the owner of the "mission creep." Common courtesy and all that...

I'm not sure I want to type "Japanese chick sexer" in my Google search.... Maybe I'll wait until I get to work in case anything bad shows up... :D ...or not...

My son said someone had told him it was Koreans who did this, but I suppose the average Texan can't tell the difference between Japanese and Korean people any more than they can tell a male from a female chick...
