Took a 400 mile mental health day road trip from NW AR to North Central AR yesterday. Saw lots of cool stuff including historic bridge at Cotter, City Bluff at Calico Rock and Blanchard Springs Caverns at Fifty-Six.View attachment 2175887View attachment 2175891View attachment 2175894View attachment 2175895View attachment 2175896View attachment 2175900View attachment 2175901View attachment 2175905View attachment 2175906

Thanks for sharing the pics. It’s been awhile since I was last pokin around in the Oachita and Boston mountains. Beautiful part of the world.

Just the other day I was thinking about when I was a kid, I’d get to spend a few weeks with Grandpa and Grandma at their cabin on Lake Of The Ozarks. No annoying sister and little brothers, or Mom ‘n Dad ~ just me and the two of them. He’d give me his single shot .22 and send me off in the woods, or let me take his fishing boat out by myself…
One of the highlights was when she’d pack a cooler while he got out the fly rods, and we’d get up before dawn for the trip down to Bennett Springs.

It ended up raining on and off all day yesterday with more forecast tonight, which is good since April was very dry.

We do put up hay some years on our irrigated pasture and sell it but we haven’t done it for a few years. Just depends if we need the feed for the cows or not. No better way to get it to rain than to lay down some windrows of hay.

Very cool, Jeff and a nice gesture, Greg. It should fit in nicely with all your electricians.

The Case barlow is a beauty, Todd.

Yeah, was just wondering if you are able to put up enough, or if you have to buy.

Yes, this is a cool knife, but I haven’t introduced it to the cigar box of others yet ~ it’s still in my pocket.

Carrying some denim today for its reassuring feel in the pocket. That’s the job my pocketknife does these days. Just in case.View attachment 2176754

Definitely a core purpose of a knife in the pocket, Alan.
That’s an attractive knife!
 
Made in the USA. Prime ribeye and mushrooms in the smoker, have a great weekend!

Got it just to try it but like it more than I expected to. The example I got is solid, no gaps, sharp, nice W&T and F&F. No blade or frame interference, no blade rap, good nail nick positioning and none of the blades stand too proud so feels good in use, especially for it's size. Nice half-stop on the main clip blade, none on the others - I'm fine with that. I'd like it more for a little less scratch but not a deal breaker at it's retail price.

It's dwarfed by the Granddaddy Barlow but makes a nice complement to larger knives - I've also carried it alongside GEC's recent English Jack and felt like it played it's role well.

I think I heard speculation that it's manufactured by Bear & Son - if that's the case, it's a cut above the Remington Trail Guide Barlow I received from them. no noticeable recurve on any of the blades, jigging pattern could be somewhat more refined but again, it works. No cracks or noticeable chipping anywhere on the covers, pins are all polished flush.

One of the best parts was that I didn't have to fight to get one. Just added to cart and checked out leisurely. imagine that - just buying a knife like a regular person. it was pleasant. I don't care about rarity, I just don't believe I'm that special -- but I do value the ability to get a quality tool at a decent price with zero aggravation.

Your mileage may vary.

Great story Jeff, awesome memories. When out kids were young we’d go three times a year. It’s gotten terribly crowded now but we still go every once in awhile. We catch a few fish, despite the crowds, but mostly we go for the memories. 😎👍

First Saturday of the month means I do my small thing for God and country ~ I’m the cook for men’s breakfast in the basement kitchen of one of the churches in town.
It’s well appointed for my needs ~ mainly an awesome, huge gas range. They recently brought in an operation which does a weekly soup kitchen for the folks thst need it, which is very nice. But everything has been rearranged. Ok ~ so I have to poke around to find what I need. No big problem. But what is a problem is that someone scoured and polished the griddle. 😡

What a horrible thing to do. I had that griddle seasoned ~ like 20 years worth, and nothing stuck to it. Made blueberry pancakes, and had to scrape and chop them to flip ‘em. I had to leave a note for one of the cleaning obssesed church ladies about 10 years ago asking that she not do that. Guess I need to do it again.

Little non-threatening home made fixed blade for cutting the sausage patties in elk and home made sheath for Stag Saturday.

Have a stupendous day, my friends!
