Going mouse hunting today! Keeping the Utica theme going.

And to be totally honest. I wish I had gotten the mouse before my nine week old puppy caught it and ate it whole, while I chased after her, pleading "NO".

Not really totin these today. On the back end of a Covid run and have these hanging around the recliner. But if I did have pants on…these would be in my pockets 😂.
Have a good one!

Fine pair, Gary. 👌
Every time I see a 93OT, I says to myself, Self, that’s a good lookin knife.

Thanks for the support, Bart & Jeff. :) I won that NIB 93OT in a GAW here years ago from a member who lived in Sardinia. I think I found out I won when I was in Spain visiting my daughter who lived there at the time, and the generous GAW guy mentioned that he would be in Madrid on business for a couple of days after Christmas, and proposed that we meet and he could deliver the knife personally. Unfortunately, my daughter was "showing me around the country" and we left Madrid the morning after Christmas to visit Sevilla and Grenada for about 5 days, I think. Probably the closest I've come to meeting a BF member in person so far.

Jeff, I agree it's a good lookin knife, but I probably prefer the same two blades on opposite ends (like your Buck Forum knife, I think).

So what did you do for Pi Day Gary, your fellow Guardians need to know?! :D ;) :thumbsup:
Click to expand...
Thanks for asking, Jack, although it was not the most exciting Pi Day I've ever experienced. :rolleyes:;)
Early in the day I received email from my daughter wishing me a Happy Pi Day, to which I responded in kind, and reminded her of a favorite "mnemonic phrase" for helping remember some of the digits of a decimal approximation of π. The next day, she sent me a follow-up which included an illustration of Worf, a Klingon member of Star Fleet in the Star Trek universe, wearing oven mitts and offering a freshly baked pie with the words, "Today is a good day to eat pie." (This is, of course, a riff on the famous Klingon battle cry, "Today is a good day to die!")

Getting back to the arcane pastime of creating phrases to help remember digits of π in order, I spent a few minutes Tuesday morning reviewing some of these phrases. One famous one that I enjoy, attributed to some madcap physicists (aren't they all? 🤓), is How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics. Of course, the way these phrases work is the number of letters in the nth word in the phrase corresponds to the nth digit in a decimal approximation of π. So the italicized phrase above produces this estimate for π:
3.14159265358979... One that I made up for myself is: May I have a large container of coffee, cream and sugar optional? Naturally, cookies desirable, too, if you consider them. Thanks!

If this sort of thing appeals to you, perhaps you'd like to check out the example here:
http://www.cadaeic.net/cadintro.htm
It includes a "short story" of over 4000 words that corresponds to the first 4000+ digits of π. It has I think 12 or 13 chapters/sections, the first of which is an adaptation of Poe's The Raven to have the appropriate sequence of word lengths (words with 10 letters correspond to a digit 0 in Pi's decimal representation, and any words of length longer than 10 correspond to TWO consecutive digits from Pi (e.g. a word containing 16 letters would indicate that at that point in the sequence of the approximation of π, the next TWO digits are 1 and 6 in that order). Other sections contain adaptations of other famous literary works by Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, TS Eliot, Omar Khayyam, and Carl Sandberg. One section goes completely off the deep end and, in addition to doing the Pi thing, it is also written without using the letter o AND it's an acrostic with the first letter of each line starting with a letter whose position in the alphabet corresponds to the appropriate digit of Pi. For example, since π starts 3.14159..., the first six lines of that section start with the letters CADAEI (hence the name of the website).

My department served pie to students at 3:14pm Tuesday, but I teach class from 3 to 3:50 so I couldn't attend. But much to my delight, after I had answered numerous student questions after class (we had a test today) and returned to my office at about 4:15, I saw that there were still several partial pies still in the Reading Room across from my office, so I managed to get a piece of "chocolate silk" pie before someone came to pick up the leftover pies, paper plates, napkins, utensils at about 4:30.

So, Jack, that was my low-key Pi Day! TMI??? 😁

I've had an interesting last few days. Saturday I was taking a picture of Bunny #525 on my board and turned the board for a better angle causing the knife to slip off the board and onto my bare foot. The point of the blade hit at an angle so, the cut wasn't too deep. While hip hopping around to the kitchen to get a paper towel to clean the blood drops up I stubbed my toe on a chair and broke it. Sunday was pretty uneventful as I watched my foot seep under a bandage and as I watched my toe turn all manners of color and swell. Monday I went to the hospital for a surgical procedure and as the doctor was doing the surgery he was proclaiming that my toe was in fact broken and the cut in my foot didn't need stitches. After he stitched up the area where he did the surgical procedure, he taped the broken toe to the toe next to it and called everything good. One lesson learned out of all this is that Bunnies bite!!! We are headed out pretty soon for town and lunch at the Brass Rail Restaurant. I'll be toting Bunny #525 and my CV Case Sowbelly.

If only you had stuck with The Brass Rail or Wagon Wheel instead of going out for fried rice!

Well chosen for knives and investment Jeff.👍

Thanks, Bob. Why does my wife insist on calling them expenses?
Primble said:
Thank you my friends. :thumbsup: 😊
Jeff ......... I worry more about my bank account than my knives.
I expect most any day to check my account balance and find some foreign (or domestic) rat has withdrawn all of my funds electronically. Balance -0- :(⚡
I can guard my knives with less stress. ;) That is a fine VOOS you toted today.



Rosie looking good Mr. Jack and thank you ! :thumbsup:😊
I was reading about your market day with Toolman over in your lamb thread. Gave me a good chuckle or two. 🤣🤣
He better heed good advice instead of living like there's no tomorrow ! 🤣 You know ... that fried Spam ain't half bad though. 🤣

Well, Mr.Primble, when they finish taxing and confiscating our accounts, we may get sick of fried Spam!
And thanks for the compliment on my VOOS!

GT - That makes perfect sense to me ! Today was a good day to eat pie and you ate silk pie.
Happy Pi day ! ;) :p

P.S. …… I wonder if they used condensed milk in yer Pi ? 🤔
