It's starting to snow here this morning. Hope it doesn't amount to anything but the snow shovel is close at hand in case it does. Nothing much happening today. This Stockman should get me through the day. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

Nice looking knives. Safe travelsLast day home with our grand daughters. I’m leaving in the morning to take them back to Georgia.
Toting this little GEC 863119, and my Camco Camp Knife. Several years ago, I took it apart and re-handled it with buffalo horn. They sell 5” or 6” pieces in Menards and Walmart as dog chews. I found it to be pleasant to work with, except for the smell, durable, and quite beautiful when polished.

Have a super Saturday.
And rather than try to quote and comment/compliment, lemme just say…
Some really nice knives you all are carrying around!
Thank you, and thank you, my friend.Nice looking knives. Safe travels
Finishing touches on the tree today, as well as some general other festive house decorations. A little lunch libation to balance things out.
Went and got a pretty Frasier fir yesterday, and did some lights. Tricked out the bay window in white icicle lights, and now Abbie, the cat, will not leave her spot there. Considers it her fancy palace.
A Farmer and a little lockback. The lockback is a memento of an Uncle passed. It never really leaves the house, but on days I don't either, I like to carry it as a remembrance. Today is a good day for it.

When one we love is lost, any physical connection is so much more than precious.It’s a fine thing when we have things with which to remember loved ones who’ve passed.
Besides Grandpa’s knives and fishing tackle, and Grandma’s garden tools and perennials, I wear some things my late son wore in Afghanistan. I wear this paracord bracelet, which is not the one he wore~ I wore that one out, and finally lost it when they had to cut it off my wrist at the hospital before an mri. This is a replacement from the same maker~ The Happy Swede.View attachment 1999433
And this bandana he wore against the dust, which has Psalm 91 on it. I have it on today.View attachment 1999434

BTW, Frazier and Balsam fir are my favorites for Christmas trees ~ soft and aromatic.![]()
