Happy Sunday y’all, from the middle of nowhere.

I spent an hour yesterday and an hour today teaching my Cub Scout den (four kids at a time) about pocket knives and getting them their Whittling Chips (I also showed them an EDC and HDFK as examples of fixed blade knives that you might use for every day cutting tasks or camping).

Afterwards they practiced whittling a bar of soap into various shapes with varying degrees of success, which was a really great learning tool since some of them had some bad habits that were way less impactful and easy to correct on the soft soap.

It was so much fun and rewarding sharing some information about one of my favorite hobbies and the kids were serious and responsible and the parents so involved and engaged.

What a great weekend!

Both my wife and my grandfather were part of WW2 she doesn't know much about her grandfather other than he was at pearl harbor and we just remembered it

2 things she has from him , some kind of knife... my guess is it looks Polynesian/Samoan and a Japanese soldier's field manual

It’s some rough terrain in spots, real easy to turn an ankle if you don’t watch where you are stepping.

Time for a limerick contest


There once was a gal named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas "Hail to the Chief"
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.

I win

There once was a lad named Timmy,
Who thought space was a tale, oh so flimsy.
He said, "Stars aren't real,
It's all made up, I feel,"
But in science class, he learned it wasn't whimsy!

ChatGPT wrote this one. I think Timmy's is better.

There once was a man named Carothers
Whose blades were the likes of no others
When Friday rolled round
There was nary a sound
'Til 3:01...then did they mutter.
