On deck, a GARDENER and a RAMBLER
- I once asked a gardener how to brighten up my garden ... he said to plant some bulbs
- Out rambling along the river one day, I spotted a fellow rambler over on the other bank
I yelled out, HEY ... how do I get to the other side?
Fella thought a moment, looked up river, then down river and called back, You're on the other side ...

Nice pairing. The creek looks like it might hold a few sunfish and maybe a bass or two. One of our neighbors is a landscaper and is very critical of what he puts around his flowers. Basically if he doesn't pull it out of his compost bin he does not use it.Mosquito Creek, Boone County, Illinois, and Schrade Walden 294 and Victorinox 7.
On my way to Twin Lakes, Wisconsin to get seaweed. The lakehouse denizens rake it up off their beaches and pile it up on the road where the town crews pick it up. Since we’re coming up on a holiday weekend when they’ll be getting their beaches cleaned up so their grandkids can swim, I should make a good haul. I use it for mulch in my garden. It keeps the weeds down, keeps the soil moist, and ir must be high in nitrogen, because the plants love it. Otherwise, I use hay and straw, but that’s full of oat and grass seed. Plus, you have to grill the farmers about their use of herbicides. There’s one horrible chemical concoction called Grazon that will kill your garden for decades. It’s hard and expensive to find organic hay and oat straw, so no matter what the farmers say, I always compost the bales before using them in my gardenn. At leadt that kills the seeds, and if there are herbicides, most will break down after composting. I know they don’t use chemicals in the lake because the Wisconsin Dept of Natural Resources fornids it. That makes the seaweed pure organic goodness.View attachment 1857100View attachment 1857101I hope all my prochist friends have a fine day!
Awesome. Chance for dad to teach him how to properly sharpen a blade.
The good thing about the watch is it’s going to be accurate or it was accurate. Either way I’ve always got my phone with me.Watch has been stopped for decades and STILL highly accurate twice a day
CASE ... always on time

Nice photos. Thanks for bringing me along. My most used and useful knife I’ve ever owned. No matter what I carry it always comes along.
I love the handles on that black one. They look so smooth and rounded and comfortable.![]()
