Great old KK and TEW, Steve!
Seems like you’re showing a new LF every day!
Thanks, my friend. The food was well received. This is mostly an older group of guys, and I am slightly amused and slightly amazed how this generation of men (Boomers) got to that age without learning how to cook. What happens in the kitchen is some mysterious kind of black magic and sorcery to these folks, and you can tell that a lot of them are accustomed to being waited on

. Obviously, their wives have sheltered and insulated them from the real world.
There was one old guy, though, Ken, who was a USN vet. THAT guy knew his way around a kitchen, and always pitched right in and helped. RIP, Ken.
The same two usual suspects pitched in and ran several loads through the Hobart dishwasher for me, God love ‘em…
Two Schrades for me. The Barlow was a very kind gift from
@Old Engineer this past spring. It’s my one and only Schrade Cut Co knife, so I guess it’s my oldest Schrade.
And the serpentine jack…
I often say this to myself, and then back off from it, but this time it may be true. I think I’ll just keep totin these two for a while.

I have my Victorinox Alox 7 Harvester in my left hand pocket also, in case stainless is more appropriate.

No, I am not a member of any garden club. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I just liked the slogan on the back, so I swiped it from the kitchen of the church we used to go to where they had dozens of coffee cups that nobody wanted and gave to the church.
I think it was a leftover from a rummage sale.

Like any coffee mug worth keeping, it’s got an unglazed rim on the bottom, which is about as effective a knife sharpener as anything at any price. And it’s perfect for a hawkbill that you cannot sharpen on a flat stone.

Have a fine day my friends!
