Thanks GT!Superb wood and stag Bruckmanns, Bob & Joshua!
The pen knife Bob posted isn't the only Bruckmann pen knife he found! He also found a horn-hafted Bruckmann pen knife which he generously sent to me.It's a splendid knife, and I'm grateful to Bob for his characteristic generosity!

An hour? That is a miracle in California!Made a trip to town yesterday with the usual stops, posted a package to San Francisco, CA and as I said I would, I only carried Bunny #525 with me. It's a good knife to carry for luck. If I add a 5 and a 2 I get lucky seven and if I add em all I get boxcars twelve. Well, all that came in handy because I turn eighty in August and my drivers license is up for renewal. I stopped at the DMV and asked when I would get a Notification for Renewal. There wasn't anyone else except the clerks there so one of the gals filled out my application for renewal for me on her computer, administered the written test, gave me a vision test and promptly renewed my license. In and out of DMV in less than an hour. Who'd a thunk it!!!??? Off to town again in a bit with what else but Bunny #525

In anticipation of the Che chen 72, I'm carrying this one around to scratch an itch. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Great pics! All you needed was an “American Gothic” pic of the both of you!Some of you may recall that I rented and used a Tree Root Exposer ("rototiller") on my front yard last Saturday, until the dumb rental broke. Rented another one today (I actually think it was the exact same one, post-repair) and it worked great this time.
Here is the awful machine:

Here's my brilliant and plucky and lovely bride going after me to dig out roots and then rake them up:

Here's the pile of roots we removed in total (this isn't including the equally large pile from last week - this is just from today):

And here's the knives I have in my pocket now as I'm relaxing and getting ready to drink a little wine. We are trying to decide between sangiovese, tempranillo, malbec, and barbera grapes to plant, so that's about the only varietals we're drinking these days.

That's one of the good ones. If you want one that'll beat you half to death, try a front tine tiller.Some of you may recall that I rented and used a Tree Root Exposer ("rototiller") on my front yard last Saturday, until the dumb rental broke.
