Perfect for my ear plugs and a good memory.Grand gift knives, Jack!
Looks like the total for first 6 months this year is about 0.4" above average; this is for the NWS station in Grand Rapids, with average computed since 1951 - I just chose my birth year as the starting date. March 2023 had the highest March precipitation over those 70+ years, and May 2023 had the lowest May precipitation for the period, and apparently balanced out one another.
Beautiful shade of blue on your lovely canoe!
First time I've been included in "the hippest kids in town."Thanks, Bob, and I hope you have a Fabulous Fourth, too!
With another almost 0.9" later in the week, and the highest humidity of the summer so far, I suddenly have a back yard full of fungi!
Great to get the rain!
You have a sowbelly for every occasion, ED!
Nice sodbuster!I've never picked up one of the big models, even though I've been pleased as punch with the Junior models.
Nice hollyhocks, too. When I was a kid, we had hollyhocks growing by the abandoned outhouse east of our farmhouse. My brothers and I would occasionally urinate in the outhouse just for fun in the summer.
Hollyhock Lane Parade starts a few blocks from my house in 2 hours; neighborhood parade held every Independence Day since 1934.

(Hollyhock Lane is just an alley.)
Notable pair!I'd have a hard time choosing a favorite, although I'm leaning toward the bottom one.
Very cool detective work!
Doesn't seem right!
Your ebony WCLF is a super-hero, Jack!
Majestic muskrat!
Thanks, Vince.
Your brother has good taste in knives!The copperlock is a beauty, the patina on the back springs of the black Case is very cool, and the stag on the top knife is impressive!
World-class whittler!
Commendable covers on that duo, Steve!
That zippered Corsica pouch looks very useful!
Thanks for the confirmation and compliment, ED.
Striking American lambsfoot, Jack!
I like the background of your Vendetta photo, but I'll not show it to my wife, since it will just support her "knife as weapon" misconception.
Do you have a "guitar hero" you admire or even try to emulate, Jeff?
Technically, "blackberries" and "black raspberries" are not the same:

When I was a kid, we had a big "thicket" of raspberries, both black and red, in part of the front yard. Never enjoyed the bloodshed of raspberry picking.
