Everything checked out at the Doc's Office yesterday - no lesions, cysts, or growths, etc. and I was able to manage BBQ Riblets at Applebee"s - scrape the meat off with my top, front, teeth and chew/gum it with my rear, top, teeth and lower rear gum. Tedious but worth it. Anyway, it's off to the Post Office and the Wagon Wheel Restaurant this morning with a short stop at the Holiday Market. I'll be carrying this Micarta Bayou Trapper. It's developing a nice even patina and is a pretty useful knife. The only negative thing about it from my point of view, is that I'd rather have it's closed length at 3 3/4" - 3 7/8" and just a tad wider the length of the frame by 1/16" .

Thanks, Todd; we're doing our best. :) Our itinerary is like that old song "When the Saints Go Marching In". We first went to St. Paul, MN to visit our daughter, her boyfriend, and her dog (Thurs-Mon and Fri-Sat after St. Cloud). Then we drove to St. Cloud, MN for the quilt show my wife is attending (Tues-FriAM). St. Paul is supposed to be about 9+ hours by car from our house, and we planned to break the trip "in half" by staying overnight in Janesville WI (allegedly 4.5 hrs from home) last Thursday night. But from about 15 mi east of the Indiana state line and ALL the way through the Chicago "metroplex" was stop-and-go traffic - took us almost 8 hours that first day to get to Janesville!o_O We're hoping to drive from St. Paul back home on Sunday.

Stay safe in St. Cloud. At one time it was a great city. Now, not so much. I was there from beginning of 2009 to early 2018 then back from June of 2020 until March of this year.

Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm sure we won't be here long enough to get an accurate impression of St. Cloud. Our hotel is actually in Sartell, northwest of downtown St. Cloud, and I've been driving my wife down to the convention center on the Mississippi River each morning and picking her up from there around 5 or 6 pm each afternoon. St. Cloud is much larger and has more traffic than I was expecting, and I found the street names VERY confusing at first, trying to keep straight, say 1st Street and 1st Avenue (each with both N and S after the name). If a location is "at the corner of 3rd and 5th", seems like that could be any one of 8 different places!! o_O🤓 And I'm not used to traffic circles/roundabouts and their rules!

Thanks, Jack. :) We're eating wonderful food, according to my wife (I'm not much of an epicurean myself ;))! In St. Paul, our daughter was recommending restaurants for our evening meals, but we're choosing quite randomly in St. Cloud. Here's a photo of the bowl of black bean chili I ordered in the Boulder Tap Room in St. Cloud Tuesday evening. Note that in this town west of the Mississippi, my "table knife" provided by the establishment is quite substantial!!🤓

As for my own knives this week, my stockman is a Rough Rider All-Stripes sowbelly stockman, and my Case chestnut jigged bone CV knife for this week is a muskrat.

Bringing up the average, could be worse. 👍🏻

Yeah the roundabouts are relatively new. However, the need to make U-turns to get to where you want to go is not. If you like pizza, house of pizza had good food a few years back. Did not eat there the last stint. If you have time and want good home style breakfasts, drive down highway 10 to Becker, going towards St. Paul and eat at Rebecca's Cafe. That was my every weekend day start the day off right place.

What he said Gary. 😄
Well said Jeff, we don’t go through there very often but I hate it each time we have to.

Not sure why I like this thin watch pocket razor sharp spear point so much. The knife is pretty much a mystery
The steel is likely Chineseium since "China" is on the pile side tang. That's about all I know.
Well, I DO KNOW what the wood is ... wood
(one knife, two pictures combined)

In your photos, my eyes always tell me on first glance that the knives are new - GEC or Case Bose, but then I adjust and see that they are the real deal, old, brilliant pieces.

Now…if I only had a coffee table book of “Primble’s Ultimate Book Of Knifes: Photos that make you slobber”. I think it would be quite popular. If such a book exists, let me know!

Thank you for liking my old knives and for the fine compliment ! 😲:thumbsup:😊

I doubt you will ever see a Primble book of anything ....................... I am too busy trying to find my next good ole knife and Elijah wouldn't stand for the lack of attention ! ;)🤣🍀
I would like to see a Waynorth book about old knives. I would have to get a copy of that. My collection is small compared to his.

Thank you Mr. Jack. You know, the ole Merlester is growing on me quite a bit. It has a unique look about it .............. and handsome red bone. Try to remember to get some closeups of the pile side script, for all to see. ;)😊

As for the Hartshead ...................... it is spoiled beyond anyone else's help .............. getting to taste all of that fine English cuisine ! Wouldn't be satisfied in anyone else's pocket ! ☺️

For the hospital:

Just audiology. I'm a borderline case for hearing aids. If I get them, they'll be awsome, but I'll have to wear them all the time to acclimatize my brain. I think I'll wait. The hi-freq hearing loss is an excuse for not remembering names, anyway.
This for now.

I need hearing aids too, but too expensive and health insurance won't cover. And I hate things sticking in my ear. Lots of annoying stuff I don't hear, though. Kinda nice, in a way.
