It was ok. They had a trunk or treat on base today.
That looks like a good time. What a great costume Jon, I bet no one recognized you! 🤣🤣🤣
Been attending plenty of events around a family wedding on Friday and Saturday, carried one of my ceremonial knives, a Case Mini-Copperlock with stag handles. OH

I really like when your family celebrates Bruce, it gives us an opportunity to see that beautiful knife! 😄👍

I am loving this game day carry. The case peanut really sets it off.
It really does, hopefully the Chiefs will keep it going again this week. 👍
LGB! Nice win for the home opener!
Cool picture John, I think it likes its new home. 👍
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.View attachment 1666539Then 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.View attachment 1666540That’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.View attachment 1666541All 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.View attachment 1666542The Klein is a bit of a chunky monkey.View attachment 1666543 Have a super Sunday!
Really enjoy your posts Jeff. 👍
Brace of beautiful knives, Todd! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


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. :(

Thanks Gary, I actually enjoy the game more now that I don’t play so often. It makes me appreciate the people I’m with more than the score. When I play with buddies, we always mess with each other, cough during back swings, step in each other’s lines, stuff like that. Nobody goes low, but we laugh A LOT! 😊👍
 
The sun was out so I had to take the bike out for a run.
Then it soon went cloudy and cold n rain,Its England we live with it.

I stopped in a small village for a cup of builders tea and a hot panini,no where to eat it but on the pavement outside.
I bought a delicious pie and blue cheese from the same Cotswold shop for a Sunday treat later on.

I was only ever going to take this one out and about today,it will be going on a lot of road trips with me.
The patina is perfect just now makes it easy to pinch open.















 
My “Game Day” box. Going a little over the top today. In my neighborhood the Bucs/Bears game is almost the Super Bowl. I’m surrounded by Bears fans and they are out for blood! 024C8FC8-62F5-41F0-B485-5ACF90497AB7.jpeg
We’re going to a well known place famous for their Buffalo chicken wings to watch the game, can’t take the box, so I will only have the SAK in my pocket.
GO BUCS! 🏴‍☠️5F702E8B-26B4-4DF4-B0CA-B8545436CDD8.jpeg

Wunderful read !!
Beautiful garden, tools and crop Jeff:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

**No more choc’a’talk… had two chocolate dipped doughnuts already🤣 !!
No more talk of chocolate!?!?!?!:mad:
My goodness, this is a fast-moving thread these days! o_O;)
The quotes that follow are from Tuesday and Wednesday, only a few days ago, but MANY pages ago.


That Bulldog looks like a pearl party animal, Jim! :thumbsup::thumbsup: 😁


Brace of beautiful knives, Todd! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


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



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.


Bold prediction, Vince! ;):thumbsup::cool: 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. 🤓


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.


Notable pair of bespoke knives, Jack! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks for your encouragement, José. :)



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


Potent pair of Double Double-U knives, John! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


"Only" three, but a triumphant trio, Jeff! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


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


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! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


This dapper double lambsfoot duo goes to market ... :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


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



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


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? ;) 😁


Excuse me for my rustic terminology! :eek: 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.:thumbsup: 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).

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

Interesting insights regarding golf and the alleged enjoyment thereof. If one’s enjoyment is in proportion to one’s level of skill, that would explain why I have always thought it to be a collossal waste of my time. 😕 I always thought there was a fork in the road of life ~ golfing or fishing, The choice was easy🤣
But if you’re theory of enjoyment being dependent on skill level is true, then how does anyone manage to stick with it long enough to get good at it?😜

Thanks, Todd, but my wife says “Don’t encourage him!”

I’m not thinking this will be a good week for the Chiefs, but the Blues are on fire!
I’m heading to the Bucs game this afternoon. Will carry this one until then. Have a nice Sunday, everyone.
Have fun! You’re only 15 miles from me

Have a good time, I’m sure they’ll bring up last year’s game quite a bit. It looks like you’re prepared though
