What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Finally ventured outside for the mail and pics. Its warmed up to 32F, but with a 15 mph breeze feels about 20 🐧
The Missouri-Tennessee football game is on. Both my teams and the first Missouri game I've been able to get with my antenna (an antenna, how quaint 🧐). Tennessee is the better team and should win, despite the way they were completely dominated by Georgia last week 😣

Looking for the appropriate props I realized that I own no Mizzou legended (if its not a word, it ought to be) stuff blushsmaller.jpg
Not the prettiest day, but its not freezing rain, so, yay 🥳

View attachment 1986319View attachment 1986318Good morning! Serpentine Jack joined by the BF Barlow for today, but also going to have these on me. I need to carve a bird today.View attachment 1986321View attachment 1986320
As we all have grown kids who are now cranking out kids, my three other siblings and I find it hard to all go to Mom ‘n Dad’s for Thanksgiving like we always have and love to do. So we’re having a Thanksgiving Dinner today at their house.
I said I’d smoke a turkey, which I did yesterday for seven hours. It’s now in the oven to finish off.
Then, my sister said she’d bring a salad, and I said great ~ let me bring stuff out of the garden.
Then, my brother said he’d roast a bunch of vegetables, and I said great ~ let me bring stuff out of the garden.

Much colder weather is on the way, so I figured I may as well harvest stuff anyway.
I have enough crammed in the fridge to fill a huge cooler, which is fine, because whatever doesn’t get used in today’s meal will go into Mom’s fridge.
But I still have a ton of stuff out in the garden. I picked three gallons of brussels sprouts, and that was only half of what’s out there.
It got down to 29f last night, so I had to go out there in my bathrobe and check on my plants ~ they all look fine, though the turnips were a bit wilty looking. And while I was out enjoying the cool breeze running up under my robe, I took my morning knife photos.
Do me a favor and have a stupendously fine Sabado. I’m gonna.

Edit: forgot to mention that I have had that Chicago Cutlery Traveller folding filet knife since about 19 and 82. ( that’s the way us old guys say it)
Another home run of a Christmas present from my lively wife. (I meant to type lovely wife, but lively works)
I love the way the walnut and brass pins have aged.

The River Thames and later Port meadow in England.




The meadow is an ancient area of grazing land, still used for horses and cattle, and according to legend has never been ploughed, at least for around 4,000 years. It is said that in return for helping to defend the kingdom against the marauding Danes, the Freemen of Oxford were given the 300 acres (120 ha) of pasture next to the River Thames by Alfred the Great who, legend has it, founded the city in the 10th century (although Alfred actually died in the 9th century). The Freemen's collective right to graze their animals free of charge is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has been exercised ever since.

Dozens of swimmers in the River Thames and standing on a bridge over the water.
Swimmers at Port Meadow, bathing at the confluence of the River Thames and the Castle Mill Stream.
The meadow runs from Jericho to Wolvercote (where north of the Shiplake Ditch it becomes Wolvercote Common) along the east (left) bank of the River Thames, with the Cotswold Line railway, the Oxford Canal and the suburb of North Oxford further to the east, and the village of Binsey to the west. Access to Port Meadow is via Walton Well Road or Aristotle Lane in the south (or from the south via Roger Dudman Way or the Thames Path) or from Godstow Road, Wolvercote via Wolvercote Common in the north. It is a typical English flood-meadow and is a favourite area for walking, with easy access from the city of Oxford. It is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest. At the southern end of the meadow is Fiddler's Island in the River Thames. In the winter the meadow sometimes floods; if frozen it forms a huge and relatively safe area for skating. In late spring vast areas are carpeted with buttercups. Horses, cattle and geese graze the meadow and many birds can often be seen.
