293 Trapper cuz it’s TuesdayView attachment 1654311Last weekend, I yanked up all of the winter squash. Chopped all the vines with the mower, and put them in a compost pile. This is an eating variety of pumpkin. Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, sprinkle some nutmeg and cinnamon on the inside along with a little butter, and roast in the oven. We had 1/2 of one the other night, and really liked it.View attachment 1654312It’s also time for saving some seeds. These are garlic, cilantro, and spinach seeds.View attachment 1654313

The food that comes out of your garden is really impressive! I wish I had half the gardening skills you have.

I know what the kids are getting for Christmas now!

Back when kids had to make their own fun. We used to play a game of rolling the seed balls from sycamore trees across the road, trying to time them with the tires of the cars passing by. They made a very satisfying POOF when run over. Acorns made a popping sound. We were either easily amused or very bored...

Today's Random Tuesday carry is an old Imperial Easy Open, a gift from @t.willy . I made a fancy fob for it.

Cool Imperial and unbreakable 'conker' Rachel!

Jack, that Barlow is wonderful!!!
I really like the way the saw cut texture is also used on the edges... Love it.

My phone is being weird this morning, so you get a recycled picture today... sorry.

Thank you very much John, it's a nice pic

Jack, your Brit version of Dennis The Menace pin with your Charlie’s Lamb fits right in with my imaginatory, but misguided idea of what Conkers is.
Sadly, the Chestnut Blight killed most of the good chestnuts, and left the horse chestnuts!

That’s a lovely old Navy Jack, and your little monkey fist is fitting tribute for a sailor’s pocket. Nice job tying that!

Not a game, because harvesting black walnuts was serious business to my Grandpa. He discovered a good way to remove the messy outer husks without staining your hands brown. He’d bring sacks of them up from the ozarks, and lay them in his gravel driveway. Then drive over them for a few days in one of his Volkswagons. A VW isn’t heavy enough to crush the nuts inside, but once the husks were off, he’d rake them up, hose them off, and crack them with his vise.

Thanks Jeff, I imagine they make good slingshot ammunition! That's an interesting tip about black walnuts, good idea My grandfather had a VW too

My father’s Opinel today

Cold enough now to put some Harris tweed on

Great pics I'm looking forward to wearing my tweed cap again

Nice knife!

Ha! I could start a thread of the same sentiment…
I’d love a 44 in ebony, a possum skinner in natural Micarta, a 86 in tortoise, a 62 stag, an Appaloosa moose, a M&G 29 in Appaloosa

AND I COULD GO ON AND ON…

Thanks, my friend, but to tell the truth, I envy you growing tasty meat!

I'm looking forward to wearing my tweed cap again

I wish our primitive ancestors hadn't been such a bunch of pinheads. It isn't worth trying on a second-hand hat.
But it just occurred to me I could buy a used tweed jacket and try to make a hat. A bucket hat might be within my abilities.
Though the venerable watch cap is not exactly the chickens' feets.
