Harry, since I drove this time I’ll have the fridge loaded with cheese from my favorite place in Cuba City. They might as well close down because they won’t have any inventory left when I get done with them!!🧀🍻

We have never had any cheese from Cuba City , but I am sure it will be great . Our favorite cheese is made in Broadhead and is about 70 miles from where we live .That is some beautiful country over around Cuba City . Drive safely and have fun my friend .

Headed to town for the first time since last Thursday. First stop will be the dentist for Cindy and since the Wagon Wheel Cafe is closed on Wednesday, we'll chow down at the Brass Rail (a Basque Restaurant) - Lamb Stew, homemade bread, and salad. Since our larder is a bit low, we'll get groceries at the Holiday Market, the Grocery Outlet, and maybe the 4-Corners Market. "Patch" will do any cutting chores we might run across while on our trip.

Love that skinner, really good, useful blade shape. Thanks for sharing!

(Do my photos look OK lately - no worse than usual? I've always resized my photos before posting, but recently I've been using 640x640 pixels rather than th 800x800 I used to resize to, and the result is to reduce photos that come from the camera between 1 and 2 megabytes down to around 100 kilobytes (instead of the approximately 200 KB I had been using).)

More Spanish knives for me.
Cudeman I bought in Toledo, Spain:

Gary, great taste as usual. I'm particularly fond of that Cudeman!

BTW, I get behind here and end up reading threads backwards. 😵‍💫

Another Spanish knife for me today. Some cocobolo in honor of Wooden Wednesday

Love those coins, Alan! Those brass handles look like they will age very beautifully.

Thanks Steve. I get the coins as change whenever I ride the train. I was in downtown Manhattan yesterday at the ATF building. It's been so long I almost forgot what a beehive the Wall St. area is. The brass ages quickly.

Been away at the races in Saratoga Springs. I doubt I'll catch up with this thread. So I'm not going to try.
Eureka Jack and Giant Mouse for the day. Have a good one!

But you have to try, Gary. Someone might have slipped in a pocket clip! 😱 Only 17 pages back...
Sounds like a fun time!

I have wanted a good, strong, solid lockback for quite a while. GECs 72LB in Gabon ebony or jigged bone is a grail knife for me, but the few times I've found one they're either 4 or 5 hundred dollars. I just can't afford that much, so I started looking around for some different lockbacks. Well, I finally went with this one, & it's built like a tank. So far, I'm very happy with it.

I think you chose well. I don’t even bother looking at GECs unless they’re posted here. Every time I get an email from a distributor, and take the bait, it says SOLD OUT.

Nice! What is the function of the micarta disc?

If I had one of those, I might say the same.
But I almost always say that about whatever random knife I’ve chosen for the day. 🤔

Such an awesome knife. And an amazing utility knife. That’s being just ruined by the flippers.

It’s the Dutch tulips/Beanie Babies phenomenon.
It’s not just GEC knives. In the guitar world, there are certain effects pedals that you can buy direct, but you may run into limited supplies, or waiting lists. So, the flippers put them up on forum marketplaces for hundreds or even thousands more.
Feeding off the hype.

Such a great expression on the lil guy’s face! 👍🏻 Great watchband! You’re giving me ideas about those milk crates of baseballs and footballs out in the garage.

I left Minnesota a day early and managed 98% two lane roads again through some really neat country and small townsView attachment 1902344View attachment 1902345View attachment 1902346

The bridge got me across the Mississippi into Wisconsin. The surface is completely open like a grate and I remember as a kid there was one we used to cross all the time that scared the heck outta me.

Thanks for showing pics of your road trip, Jim! And I love the purpose of the trip.

@5KQs~ Thanks for the pics! One of my favorite places to see boats is up the Minnesota side of Lake Superior. Grand Marais is beautiful.

When I’m on the road, taking back roads like Jim is doing, and a diner has those nice heavy China coffee mugs, I have often asked the waitress to let me buy one. Your resort would probably sell you one if you asked.
