That lighter patina is coming on quickly! They look great together.

Thanks Bart, pretty cool watching it change each day.

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 ...

I’m stealing that first joke for my Dad Joke collection.

A man after my own heart. Here is the Victorinox Florist I've been carrying this week. Carries surprisingly small for having such a large comfortable handle.

I love that model of Victorinox. So simple, so useful around the garden.

And that’s a great color.

For some reason I was drawn to this pair for today. The Schrade is a mystery though. No model number markings on the blade. Blade almost looks generic. Research revealed a model 280 but that could have been a special anniversary run. Regardless, it feels good in the hand and takes a great edgeView attachment 1857819View attachment 1857820

I like that mysterious Schrade! Stainless with Staglon like an Uncle Henry...

Nice photos of your tour! I think it’s great that you have the freedom to do that.

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.

Thank you!
I never have bothered with this creek as it’s little more than ankle deep. We have others here that definitely hold fish~
Nippersink Creek, Piscasaw Creek, and the Kishwaukee River.

That is a little shallow. Creeks and short fly rods or a short ultra light spinning combo just go together

Cool photos John

Thank you, Jack.

Great shot of your HHB... Hope you find some fun adventures.

I don’t have the energy right now

Your Humor is ReVolting.

That's a "looker".

Fantastic Pair.

Those two are very special.

I like the loyalty.

Great knife, it begs to be put to work.

Nice daddy Barlow.

I "need" to get a daddy for my Barlows.

Awesome. Chance for dad to teach him how to properly sharpen a blade.

Not quite. He’s almost 3. But I let him handle my knives and he knows to not touch the sharp edge. He’ll hold it and look and touch the spine and then hand it back real careful.

His knife he takes and goes over to the lawn more or his toy truck and pretends to fix it. And he pretends to sharpen it too. So we are getting somewhere.

Today, a Bull Moose with antlers on full display. It's interesting (to me, at least) that according to Levine's Guide, this pattern was also referred to as a Texas Jack around the turn of the century...

The bone is really cool.

Thank you, Jeremy.
I really need to carry the Red Jack more, I really like it.

I love Appaloosa -- or, as Will Power might put it, "Spotty Horse" bone.
