[Manofcarbonsteel]

Snow and ice is on its way. Love winter weather

 

[Jack Black]

I fully intend to be ok, Jack. Tired of several days of doing nothing.

Good for you Jeff, take care my friend

Jack, your white bone Barlow is lookin' GOOD!

I'm going with some colorful MOP for church this morning.

Thanks a lot buddy, you just made my jaw drop with that stunner!

Beautiful knife and beautiful picture, Jack.

Good Morning Porch Friends
Hope you all have a Blessed Sunday

Thank you, Jack.
I think it's getting due for a little shine-up soon.

Rainy and blowing a gale today (thankfully we're not getting the sleet and icy rain on the coast). I hope all of you in the winter storm keep your power and heat. Sears Craftsman A.C.A. Edged Gentleman's Jack for todays carry. OH

[5K Qs]

Haven't posted much in this thread so far in 2022. Gonna try to do some superficial catch-up comments today. Here are a few posts from almost 2 weeks ago that deserve my attention.

Really like your Schrade-Wostenholm canoe with all the documentation that you picked up a while back, Jim!! (Your statuesque angel is pretty cool, too.) I remember a post in which you explained how the knife seemed "destined" to come to you - amazing story. I have a similar knife with stag that looks much different, and that is not mint by any means, but destiny seems to have brought it to me. I won it in a GAW here (thanks, cchu518 ), and after it arrived, I discovered that the serial number on its bolster is actually my birthdate in DDMM format!


Mine has an asymmetrical build, especially in arrangement of liners, that I've rarely seen. Does yours also have more liners on one side than the other?

I didn't buy knives last year Gary, the copper-handled Atlas seemed Covid-appropriate I have several Boker Plus knives with drop-point blades, got a slight hollow-grind, and come razor sharp
...
Thanks pal, I'm having the same cinnamon & raisin bagels for breakfast tomorrow
...

Thanks for the testimonial about your Boker Plus Atlas, Jack.
Your bagel comment reminds me that I drank a Christmas gift beer this week that was called something like cinnamon roll stout. It definitely smelled and tasted similar to a cinnamon roll, a bakery product I enjoy, but not one I want to taste in my stout!

5K Qs ~
Thank you!
It looks like you’ve found your multiquoting mojo with the new year!
I have to limit mine, because typing a mistake and deleting it causes the quoted headers to jumble up.

Maybe you could offer multiquoting tutoring. And maybe you could get photochopping (manufacturing evidence is what I call it) lessons from B BrotherJim !

Jeff, I sometimes do something (not always sure what) that causes the structural integrity of my quoted headers to get scrambled, but I can usually "recover" using the "undo" icon (counterclockwise arrow) at the top of the Reply window. I also use the "Toggle BB code" icon (square brackets [ ] at top of window) quite often to switch everything to plain text, instead of the pretty quotes format; far fewer editing surprises for me with the plain text format, and "cut" and "paste" seem more to my liking there, although I have to toggle back to see images. I also occasionally use the Preview mode at the top right of window to see what the current reply will actually look like when posted; can also click on attachments in Preview mode to see what the picture actually is.

Lessons from B BrotherJim on photo manipulation might be a good idea, although I suspect that his wonderful photos of knives on billboards, wall art, etc. actually come from a secret website he can access in which a user provides a photo and chooses a background and the website returns an image with the two choices merged. Probably an app from the Deepest Darkest Web, but Jim has access because the owners are scared of his dog!!!

Thanks Gary. It checks a lot of boxes for me: only stag, only sowbelly, only Queen, etc, and was a thoughtful gift from John.

Sounds like a grand slam home run!!

They’re actually sunset shots sir Idk about Merle but I might object to making it to the beach for a sunrise shot, especially with the early morning 405 traffic I believe that halo in the pic is the reflection of my iPhone lens

Thanks for the additional info! I think I knew you were in CA, and should have realized you're NOT going to see the sun rising over the ocean on the Left Coast!!

I was wondering about the name 'Hard Labor Creek,' too. By the time I finished hiking, I had forgotten I was wondering about it, though.
According to the blurb on the trail map, the site's purpose was to "demonstrate the reclamation of marginal farmland for recreation." There's no mention of incarceration, hard or otherwise. Seems white-washed to me; I'll have to look it up!

Maybe in days of yore all the local pregnant women would come to the creek to birth their babies!!

Yep. I've been teaching online this entire academic year, and one of my classes is a small group of international students to whom I teach pre-algebra from 9:00 - 10:15 p.m. my time (they are actually 13 hours ahead during this phase of the time change; 12 when we go back to sane time).

A year ago, I taught just one course and most of my students were on campus, even though we met online 3 out of the 4 class days each week because I was scared of the surge in COVID case numbers as the semester started. But I had 4 international students (2 in Korea, 2 in Thailand) who watched recordings of the classes asynchronously, and I met with that quartet once each week to answer any questions they had, discuss coming attractions, etc. That weekly meeting was at 5am Wednesday (6am after the time change in Michigan - I was surprised that neither Thailand nor S Korea had a time change). They took their 3 tests and the final exam at that time, too.

Looks like you're prepared for just about everything there Gary!

Carrying 18-20 knives each day should keep my prep status at top level!

How do you like that MAM?
I almost stuck mine in my pocket today, but decided to carry my yellow Rough Rider loom fixer/"half hawk" instead.

I like that plain old sheepsfoot friction folder very much. I traded away my original one last spring, I think, but ordered a replacement within a few months when I made my next knife order.

Playing in the snow today and carrying my Alox SAK.

Great pictures Bart, I miss those days of playing in the snow with my kids. Nice memories.

Me too. I just may get out the auger and drill some holes in the ice on the pond when I shake off this bug.

Sounds good Jeff hope you feel well enough to do that soon. I’ve never been much of an ice fisherman. I’m not a good enough caster with my fly rod to hit those small holes in the ice with any regularity.

Good Morning Porch Friends
Hope you all have a Blessed Sunday

Wow, you’re killing it with your pictures John, another great one.

On a hunting trip with some old friends this weekend in Alabama. Shot a buck Friday night while carrying this fine Case punch stockman which was a gift from paulhilborn . Already making memories with my new knife. Thanks Paul!

Well done Mark. Making memories is what it’s all about.
Hope the Bucs make a few good ones today.

 

[bigfish64]

Game day. My daughter is staying to watch the game with us before she heads back to school. My son said he is going to watch this week’s game with some buddies at school, and said he would come home and watch next week’s Bucs game with us. Hopefully that isn’t the “kiss I’d death.”
GO BUCS!

 

[Chief]

Blessed are those who return to Hell carrying buckets of water to those still consumed by flames.

Carrying the black one today, it's special to me as I gave it to my FIL and he treasured it for years before passing a couple years ago. Have a special Sunday.

 

[WValtakis]

Smooth bone Sunday...

Wow, you’re killing it with your pictures John, another great one.

Thank you, Todd.
I'm sure there will be a drop off soon enough.

Go Bucs... Good luck to your team today.
