I am loving this game day carry. The case peanut really sets it off.

A peaceful Sunday to one and All

Un-Chained that is a beauty for sure.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Due to two days of predicted rain and frost expected for tonight, I decided to pull all of the peppers and bring them in. We’ll see what happens because the plants are huge and still flowering, so if the frost isn’t a killing frost, maybe they’ll just keep on keepin on.Then I picked what beans were left, and clipped off the plants. I try to leave the roots in there for worm food. I do still have a row of young beans I left in which are just starting to produce~ we’ll see how they hold up. The snow peas from the last planting are almost as tall as me, producing well, and full of blossoms. They’re cold tolerant, we’ll find out how tolerant.That’s a new bed I just made on the left with a cover crop. In the spring, I’ll just trample it down, put down a little more compost, and plant right into that.
After I planted my friend’s, and my garlic, I brought in some more stuff. I have a stock pot going with soup bones, so the leeks, the celery and some of the carrots will go in there.
The cayennes, I’ll have to string up and dry. That’s about the only hot pepper Mrs Fleachwund eats. I like the poblanos, which are about the mildest hot pepper, and the jalapenos, but I have to be careful or the girls won’t eat my cooking.All that was yesterday. Today, our little neighborhood of twenty houses is doing trick or treat. The last few years, some houses turned over, so once again we have some young families with kids, so it’s fun. With a finite number of free loaders, we can not be stingy tightwads with the candy. We have full size Hershey bars, none of those wimpy little “fun size” bars.
My knife choices are geared toward carving the big ‘ol punkin we picked out up at the farmer’s place.The Klein is a bit of a chunky monkey. Have a super Sunday!

Wunderful read !!
Beautiful garden, tools and crop Jeff

**No more choc’a’talk… had two chocolate dipped doughnuts already !!

Second day of light frost but the sun is there.
Good sunday to all.

I'm continually amazed at your collection of stunningly pretty knives

Out and about on an overcast, predicted to be a stormy, day. Couldn't do the dog and Dr. Pepper for breakfast

Edit: Forgot the pic

My goodness, this is a fast-moving thread these days!
The quotes that follow are from Tuesday and Wednesday, only a few days ago, but MANY pages ago.

Tickled to tote this Bulldog Brand Pearl Stockman
...

That Bulldog looks like a pearl party animal, Jim!

Couple of Case with me today. View attachment 1663469

Brace of beautiful knives, Todd!

Camillus 67 and an American Jack on this beautiful autumn day that started out with a equally stellar sunrise !

...

Great shot of the sunrise, Steve, and sensational bone on that duo!

A very cool knife, GT... Full of nostalgia.

...
That's an ace Imperial Gary, very cool
...

Thanks, John & Jack. That old Imperial USA stockman was a gift from a geology prof I know who gave it to me because he never carries anything but a SAK.

Thanks, Gary. Braves over Red Sox in WS, 6 games.

Bold prediction, Vince! When you made it, I was still rooting for the Braves and Astros (or maybe more accurately, rooting against the Dodgers and Red Sox). I'll bet we're both glad you turned out to be wrong about Boston.

Always happy to be an Enabler in any way that I can my friend .
The Rehab is going a little Tougher than it did 8 years ago . The healing is taking place and it looks very good . The amount of Motion is actually doing better than 8 years ago . The timing of the surgery and the Forums Knife and the 2AB Knife worked out unbelievably well too .

Harry

Hang in there, Harry! It sounds like things are going well with the rehab, even if it's tougher than it was the last time. Probably not unexpected when you've got 8 extra years of wear and tear on you now.

...
Pairing my Hartshead Barlow with my Todd Davison Sheepsfoot today
...

Notable pair of bespoke knives, Jack!

Another selection of amazing knives, Gary.

Thanks for your encouragement, José.

I carry this Portuguese knife Martins-Palaçoulo in stainless steel.
...

I have 2 of those from Estrella I was there again this year.
...

Fascinating knives, José and Johnnythefox !
Are those friction folders with a locking ring?

One for Wharncliffe Wednesday and one for Wooden Wednesday
...

Potent pair of Double Double-U knives, John!

Only three today.View attachment 1663956View attachment 1663957

"Only" three, but a triumphant trio, Jeff!

View attachment 1664029

Outstanding combination of stag, lined bolsters, drop point blade, and slip, Alan! I can't tell if that's a lockback model or not, 83 maybe?

I'm going to carry the Forum Knife for about a month.
I'm going to use it and let it age gracefully, or not so gracefully.
Then I've hand picked a few people I want to do a pass-around with it.
Finally, I've picked a person I want to gift it to when it's all done... this will be fun.

After so much "planning" (polling?) was invested in the Forum Knife, it's impressive that you're still a Man with a Plan, John! Sounds very cool!

Heading out early tomorrow, to visit my local flea-market. Having a Double Lambsfoot Day too! Got my Hartshead Barlow and a Rosewood Big 'Un on cake-cutting duty!

This dapper double lambsfoot duo goes to market ...

That sound great! I'll keep an eye out for a Vic Paring knife as it sounds mighty useful!

If you get one, I don't think you'll regret it, JJ!

I am assuaging any potential feelings of being non-essential to the prosperity of my vegetables by reminding myself that there were some decent rains while we were gone.
I’ve had a lot of luck having greens regrow as long as I leave the crown in the ground. Although the ignomy of being brutally dismembered by a serrated paring knife instead of a lovingly sharpened hawkbill pruner will no doubt stunt any regrowth!

But your concoction sounds delicious.

Ok, as I’ve maybe mentioned before, I am not a collector. An accumulator maybe...
But I will use any knife in my drawer.
So, I put the forum barlow to work on my supper. Chicken breast with honey mustard dipping sauce, seared in cast iron in butter and olive oil, poblano peppers stuffed with cream and mozaralla cheezes, and cauliflower and pinapple slices with orange sauce grilled in a grilling basket on the grill.

ONE or more of those foods really spotted up the blade. In an attractive patina kind of way. I’ll show y’all in tomorrow’s photos in better light.

Here’s an action shot...View attachment 1664446

Thanks, Jeff: my plate of nachos was a taste sensation, IMHO.
Speaking of delicious concoctions, that's quite a feast you fixed with the Forum folder! No fatted calf, but BOTH fatted peppers AND fatted chicken breasts!

One of many places Gary, my past haunts me

Probably many of us have kind of spooky pasts, Paul, but as long as the future doesn't haunt us, I guess we're in good shape!
Do you have a Skeletool on that workbench with the other skeletons?

Inspection BEAM, Please! According to Llamaland, anyway. I got the impression from the description that there are standards for inspection beams, which was news to me, because I thought it was a flashlight.
Yes, I like it. It's small and lightweight, it's bright, it doesn't turn itself on in my pocket. [I just double-checked. It is bright.]

Excuse me for my rustic terminology! I haven't read any of Stephen King's Dark Tower novels, but I think a catchphrase in that series is "all things serve the BEAM!" Thanks for your impressions of the Coast Inspection Beam. I may pick one up on my next weekly grocery shopping trip to Meijer (although I think "my" store only has the longer model in stock - probably 2 batteries instead of 1).

...
The way I play golf most of the time, I probably should give it up too Gary!

There was a time in my life when I would play 2 or 3 times per week during the summer and into the fall, and I was reasonably pleased with my game then. (One season I was running about 20 miles per week, and I turned into a "big hitter" with the additional leg strength.) But then life gradually cut into my golf time, and the less I played, the worse I played so that it wasn't even much fun anymore, especially just playing a couple of times per year at the end.

...
Iris’ nightly apple featuring Indian River Jack in bone.

I liked how you changed the focus of the 2 photos, one focusing on knife/apple and the other focusing on Iris' eager anticipation!

It does move fast doesn't it Gary, The Porch is a pretty busy place these days Nice back-story to your Imperial Stockman buddy, thanks for the kind words, I hope you're having a relaxing Sunday

SO much rain this weekend! We need it, but this is crazy
