Jack, I'd have agreed with you 10 years ago, but there are some recent days during which I can believe that I'm actually "eleventy-one" years old (2023 - 1912 = 111), as Bilbo Baggins stated his age during his birthday party at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Rings, and claimed he felt "thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped across too much bread".) :rolleyes:

I know what you mean my friend, I sometimes feel half as old as time myself! :rolleyes: I hope you manage to keep some spring in your step :) :thumbsup:

If I've been traveling, I still get kind of excited by the prospect of going where I have access to a fridge! 😁

Spent a few days at the summer cottage and had these with me. The Casström is really one of the best bushcraft knives I have had, not for fine work though but handles firewood really well. The smaller Polar puukko is a bit of a disappointment. The handle is slippery and ergonomics are off in my opinion. The blade is fine though, but there is a gap between the blade and the front plate.

I received this beautiful gift from Yann, Corto_Malt Corto_Malt . It is a special Laguiole. In addition to the usual clip, it has what we would call a punch. However, this tool would have a special use for a French farmer. If the stomach of one of his cows began to bloat to a degree which threatened the life of the cow, the farmer could use the tool to release the harmful gas. Just like puncturing a balloon! Thank you Yann.

Thank you for these moments shared from afar.

That beautiful 85 seems to be giving you superpowers: able to leap fences at a single bound, able to pluck iron spike right out of railroad ties! 🤓
Belated birthday greeting to Joseph! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
(Is CSX a "descendant" of the old C&O (Chesapeake & Ohio) line I used to see?)

Indeed. I had to look it up, but CSX stands for Chessie Seaboard and is a conglomerate of many railroads- one of which was the old C&O. Funny what you’ll get into when your kids are interested 👍🏼.

No doubt. Chattanooga is a great place to live or visit. I’ve enjoyed visiting my in-laws there for the past 18 years. Great city surrounded by some great nature.
