You can keep your rattler! 3 ft away is about 22ft too close!

Yeah, honestly you have to respect them, but we have so many and we've been around them for many years you get to know them. They're like a lot of animals, they just want to get away from you and when you're too close they buzz. I'm very careful taking pictures of them.. It's when you're walking in a snake area and they don't buzz and your foot gets too close, then it's a problem.

I'm not married so I don't have any personal anniversary advice. For my parents one year, though, my siblings and I decorated the house. Of particular note was my sister's drawing of "how much my parents loved each other." One read, "Your hearts are filled with love!" and it depicted a gas can with "love" written on it while my parents had their rib cages pulled apart and their anatomically correct hearts were being filled from said can. They had the telltale x's on their eyes but also smiles on their faces. It really was a sight to behold.

No picture of it, but here's one of my old roommate's Cryo that I bought for him with a pretty twig. It was for some late term holiday decorating. I'm attending college in Oregon but my home is in Hawaii, so this thing you guys call "winter" is a fairly foreign concept to me. Good times though...

Homemade friction folders from knife files. As I ground the heel of the blade to shape it I used a dull sanding belt and got them hot enough to turn blue, not letting the blue reach the cutting edge. Quick and dirty differential annealing
 
Bump for a chance at a couple of great knives.
I have 2 33OTs & love 'em,they ride unobtrusively in the pocket & have just enough blades to get any pocket knife chores done.

I would also like to sweeten the pot just a bit by offering to make a Kydex handle like the one I made for my Tin Knife to the winner.
It's not a hard use handle,but it is capable of carving wood and other similar materials & way more comfortable than the Tin Knife handle alone.
It also comes off easily for attaching the blade to a pole.
I can make it in brown,bright orange or burnt orange,winners choice.(sorry the black I have is too thin)
The winner would need to send it to me for proper fitting,but first class shipping would be cheap for one of these little buggers.

Here is one I just made, nothing fancy just a little bored. I did not make the blade, Just stole it out of a cheap one I had in a drawer.



 
A nice native Brookie I released this spring in the Poconos..

Cool Giveaway! Congrats on the upcoming 10th!

My wife and I took a 20th anniversary trip last month to Mexico. For other anniversaries we've done things like stay in a hotel in Denver (we live in an outlying suburb) and had a nice dinner and did some shopping.

I've already posted some photos from the Mexico trip. I just got back in town from a trip to the mountains where I was able to spend a couple days hiking around. Here's a pic from there:

Here's the pack I use while day hiking. Inside is a PSK pouch that contains my JK tin knife. If I go wandering around without the pack, the PSK goes in my pants pocket so I'll always have it on me.

Why I've missed every other Fall Gathering (hopefully not this year's!)...waterpolo season.

I guess all those extra trips and practices have helped my son's game though...

Mmmmmm...beer!

9.2% ABV...the first couple are just delicious. The next one tastes a lot like carpet.
 
Don't know if anyone has heard of the inchworm. It is a key fob which is a small scale (ruler). Here is a homemade version.

The side with all lines is 1/8" increments and the sides with dots and lines are 1/4" apart.
