Here are some posts I fondly recall from last week. It's all so subjective! 
I've never had Andechs, but Paulaner Salvator is one of the best beers I've ever had! I had it in Europe, and it looks like I'd have to travel over 100 miles to find a store/bar that might have it.

The only way I've been able to avoid that is to give up golfing. Very effective "fix", but kind of extreme.
Her kitchen knife reminds me of a couple that my mother-in-law had, at least through her entire marriage. She came from "humble beginnings" in northern Kentucky, and gradually drifted northward, first to southern Indian, and eventually to Indianapolis.

Admirable Sodbuster, Harry!Carried and sharpened the Case Sodbuster and then had some very good Double Bock with one of my Son-in - Laws . The Andechs is very hard to get .

I'm a big fan of the canoe pattern, so I can't help but compliment you on your compelling ebony Case canoe!
That stag EO 25 is bodacious, Bart! The Independence Day bike parade looks fun; we have one, begun in 1934, that starts just a few blocks from our house, but I haven't gone to it for several years now. When our daughter was young, she expected to go every 4th of July and come home with a big bag of candy that the minions of local politicians in the parade would toss to the adoring crowds.We went to a neighborhood 4th of July kids’ bike parade this morning.
I hade my stag 25 on me today.

Dandy patriotic trio of knives! I know what you mean about "hunkering down with the pup". My wife actually has sedatives prescribed by the vet for our dog to take in the week leading up the The Fourth, but she still couldn't get him to poop/pee before bed that night, and I had to carry him outside the next morning because he was too nervous about potential explosions.Hunkering down with the pup for Bombardment.
Excellent 2-dog knife photo! Exemplary whittler!
First class Fourth photo, Alan; your all-metal Laguiole is fascinating!
Grand pair of Bulldog Barlows, José!
Handsome S&M canoe, Jim!On this segment of Today's Reveal ...
Messy desk is large enough for a whole dang canoe
Iconic bone on your Camillus pair, Steve!
Thanks, John. I've seen some knock-your-socks-off chestnut Peanuts posted here, and couldn't resist getting one for my very own.Pretty little Peanut, GT.
sometimes I hit the ball so poorly I need a shovel to fix my divots!
The only way I've been able to avoid that is to give up golfing. Very effective "fix", but kind of extreme.Always a joy to see your cork-handled Ciol, José! I've got my eye on a Mora model with cork handle.With this Ciol with cork hands.

Kudos for having friends in high places who can help you out like that, Jeff!
Touching tribute to your mother, Robb.

Your ebony WCLF is a laudable, lissome looker, John!Good Morning Porch Friends
Gotta be some kind of ninja turtle, Mike!Oh yeah. He summersaulted off the stoop, landed on his feet running, and shot under the truck like a rocket. Albeit, a really slow rocket
Magnificent pair, Rachel; congrats on the new-to-you Lubotco!
Another noteworthy canoe! What does Case call that bone color?’85 Canoe today
Ooh La La, JJ; Vive la France!!Toting some French Juniper and Olivewood today.
Looks like you could ravish some rabbits with that trio, Leon!In line with the recent announcement by Charlie, thought i would post mine. Unfortunately lost my first ever pocket knife, A Joseph Rodgers Bunny knife single blade. Wish i still had it..
...
I relate to what you write here, but one thing that I really appreciate about The Porch is acceptance of anyone who's enthusiastic about traditional pocket knives, no matter what form that enthusiasm takes or what "quality" knives are involved. I've usually felt as welcome here with my rather low budget approach as are those who are interested in high-end customs, or whatever.
Splendid knife! I also have an S&M #99 (thanks, Jack), albeit with a different shield, at least:My S&M #99 Scout again today, naturally.
True fact, Steve. And usually in the occasional threads about "if you could only keep one", I end up concluding that I'd probably take a "first in, last out" approach and be happy with my original scout knife if I had to go back to only one knife.
That's my attitude, too, Mike. I waited 7 or 8 months for some warm weather to return, and I think I'd prefer 90˚F temps over anything under 50˚ for sure!...
The last few days I get up, open the windows, and mess around out in the yard or go to town for couple of hours before it gets too hot. Today, I took the trash out, put a couple of bills in the mailbox (how archaic of me), put a new license sticker on the bike, took a few knife pics and I was ready to go back in and turn the AC back on. Dew point of 74, 89% humidity. Its only 80 degrees (F) out, but sheesh it just drapes around you like a heavy, hot, damp cloakGlad I'm not going to be out working in it all day
Anyway, enough whining, its better than a foot of snow View attachment 1863891

Wow, that's a winning sowbelly stockman (another of my favorite patterns)!
