I'm not sure if they still are - I'd been interested in one of these for a while, but put it off for other things. I finally went for it because I saw that it was out of stock in a few places I keep an eye on. Looking around further, it's out of stock in a lot of places, so when I found one (with a "low stock" warning) I decided that it was time. I suspect they may have just stopped making these. Hopefully not for long, though.
Yeah, not a lot of fun I'm afraidPain management is always a bear, fortunately you've got your lovely lambsfoot to help take the edge off...

The flies have been insane the last few days, but mysteriously were totally absent for a while, so I was able to chop stuff up outside.
First sweet corn, and whether Mrs Fleschwund likes it or not, it looks like sweet corn every day now.
The squash, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, along with fresh basil, oregano, and four kind of cheese is gonna get layered and baked.

I was hoping for a bumper crop of blackberries, but as I've not been able to get out and pick them for more than a week now, I'll have missed a lot, particularly with the high temperatures we've had StunningI caught the last few rays of daylight.
Thank you!
Kind of you to say...

Sorry to hear that Jeff, it's been a good year for them here. I picked a couple of pounds a couple of weeks ago, before the sciatica set in, but it probably wasn't good for my back. I usually get about 30 pounds off a fairly small patch. I've told my neighbours to take some before the birds and sun get them. Maybe I'll get a few at the tail-end
I love the Pony Jack. Just a simple basic jackknife.Seems like it’s always this Ponyjack; it just works for me.
Glad you're glad to be home Todd!Great to be home! Looks like some of you are now vacationing…hope you have a great time.
I’m looking forward to carrying a few knives I haven’t carried in a couple of weeks.View attachment 1899463

Heck no. After 20+ years, they write themselves.I thought you were busy writing lesson plans!
Also, during my time away, I received a generous "Back to Work Care Package" from my friend
He is so thoughtful and generous, a true Porch Regal Member. Thank you so much, Jack.
Oh ya, check out the engraving on the letter opener.

THIRTY POUNDS! That’s amazing. How do you save them ~ freeding, put up as preserves? That could be a year’s supply.Sorry to hear that Jeff, it's been a good year for them here.
