I noticed the little greedy rascals were really going for the peanuts in the bird seed mix so I recently upped the peanut/nut content to 100 % lol
Since then the number of of chickadee hits has increased exponentially 🤓.
I am still crunching the numbers but it is impressive 😁

Old seed mix meant more waiting 😜

Versatile trio of knives, Jeff! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: It's great that you volunteer to cook once a month for that breakfast, but you've run into what I think is a common problem with "shared" kitchens: not everyone agrees on best practices for kitchen care/maintenance.o_O Shoot, after 38 years of marriage (as of the first of next month), my wife and I still have occasional disputes about kitchen procedures.:rolleyes:


It all seemed so sudden; maybe Jack has a semi-legitimate claim to the throne and the powers that be just wanted to diffuse the situation.


You're amazing, Dan! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Not only can you get those chickadees to come sit on your knife, but somehow you also boost their confidence to the point that a tiny bird like that thinks it can swallow those relatively enormous peanuts!😲


That IS a notable blade etch! :thumbsup:🤓:thumbsup: Where did that knife come from? Some kind of advertising knife for a festival or tavern?


Do you release each fish as soon as you land it, or do you release big batches at the same time? If you release right away, maybe you're catching the same famished and unintelligent crappie 25 times! 😁 (You can probably tell that I almost never fish.)


That's a delightful dozen! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Superior stag, Bob, and I admire its rufous coloration! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Gotta admit that Eastwood has a better singing voice than Lee Marvin. 🤓
But one of my favorite songs in Paint Your Wagon is Marvin singing "I Was Born Under a Wandering Star":
Wheels are made for rollin',
Mules are made to pack.
I never seen a sight that didn't look better lookin' back.


Your stag Dixie stockman is magnificent! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Looks great in ebony, Frank! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: My favorite feature of that pattern is that it's a stockman with a spearpoint main blade.


I admire a man with a plan for the week! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup: (Especially when it includes the underrated Victorinox Pocket Pal.)


Thanks, Bob; I finished grading final exams and submitted course grades last week Wednesday, I think. :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: That was my last time. I've basically been "doing school" from one side of the desk or the other, since I was 5 years old, and I was pretty good at it and enjoyed it the vast majority of the time. I'm currently having some "separation anxiety" about the end of my career.:eek:


🤓:thumbsup:


That looks like a dependable duo, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


I think the Pocket Pal has capable blades, and it's not as small as I originally thought. Closed length is 3.3" (84 mm), and the main blade is just over 2" (52 mm). On the other hand, the 61OT I posted is a big stockman at 4"closed with a 3" clip main.
I wish I had the wherewithal and skills to pilot a pontoon boat around, but that photo was taken on the dock of the "resort" on Lake Huron where we rent a cottage each summer, and the pontoon boat belongs to the owners of the cottages.


Couple of beauties, Steve! That Camillus reminds me of the 61OT I posted earlier in the week. :thumbsup::cool::cool:


I've got a single-blade version of that "barrel knife" with which I'm very pleased! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


When you're right, you're right! 🤓:thumbsup::cool:

I always throw them back as I catch them, but to answer your question, I throw them out of the opposite side of the boat than the side I fish out of.😜

My limited understanding is that it was a special edition that a German knife store had Victorinox make to sell, similar to how DLT has special editions made that they get to exclusively sell. This model is from 2019.

The model is known as the Pioneer "Prosit" model, and has alox scales that resemble the Bavarian flag. "Prosit" is German for "cheers," and the blade etch is of 2 beer mugs.

Going on a holiday to southern Europe and bringing these along. Opinel 10 is large enough for kitchen, usually rented apartments don't have much of a kitchen knives or they are dull. The Manly Wasp is for general use and occasional outings in the forests and mountains. Victorinox will travel in the shoulder bag for peeling fruits etc. and has the important bottle opener and corkscrew. Propably I could do with just the Opinel and Vic.

We had a really great trip. No knife pictures, sorry. The southern Spain is really my favorite location, full of history and beautiful nature. We spent time at both the cost and in the mountains. The temperatures were quite high for this time of year, which is kind of worrying. The news said that Spanish farmers are in trouble because of the drought. All my knives saw use, the knives at the apartments were quite dull as expected or nonexistent. The trip, cycling and lots of walking really helped me recuperate from a recent medical operation.
