Is "Happy Monday" an oxymoron?
Good morning, folks.

I was just walking up my street earlier, and a painter and decorator came out of one of the houses, with the tools of his trade, and a bunch of paint cans. "Long day?" I asked him.
"Not particularly", he replied. Then, without irony: "I love Mondays."
I said, "I like going to the dentists. I guess there always a few contrary folk!" :D

Cake police are undoubtedly coming soon, it's on the agenda along with one world digital currency and austerity measures designed to keep the rich rich. Get your cake, and cut it, while you can! What kind of uniform do you think they'll wear? Some sort of all black SS style getup, complete with jackboots?

I have heard from several people today that are having a terrible Monday. One guy said he had a bull jump through and out the roof of his cattle trailer, literally. Hopefully yours and everyone else's day gets better!

Here's a smile for ya! 😁

Thanks! 😄 (I’ve had to deal with some Bull… but not that kind!)

My only two languages are irony with sarcasm… I don’t understand. The bigger question though, we’re you being sarcastic about liking the dentist? 🔨🦷

Purdy lamb you got there!

I got to reading a Victorian mystery novel and stayed up to 1 a.m. last night. Then got woke up at 2 a.m. by a storm. Wind howling, rain pounding, and continuous lightning. It's been a long time since I saw lightning like that. Multiple flashes in all directions, one right after another for most of an hour. Quite the light show. We received approximately an inch and a half of much, much needed rain. I had a river running down my driveway and sheets of water were sluicing off the car and truck. It would have been better if it hadn't been so hard and fast, but still mostly good. We've been in a severe to extreme drought all summer. Did a brief walkabout and no damage here other than a 2 foot chunk of 3 inch branch on the roof. I'll have to get the ladder out and go fetch it afterwhile. Maybe tomorrow :)

Happy copper Monday!
Wait...that doesn't sound right 🤔

Droughts can have severe consequences, but as I told my Dad once upon a time, "At least a drought doesn't get in your house."

True, but it can cause horrible cracking and subsidence in cases.....:thumbsdown: None too good for knife scales either, but then floods can carry them off:eek:

Was Jack's down in the town square by the courthouse and such? I might have a fuzzy memory, but Wallyworld opened up when I was 5 or 6, it put a lot of the small local businesses under. But it was nice to not have to order everything from Sears and Schwann's anymore. I have an oft-told story about waiting in the checkout line there with my mom, and saying very loudly (so the whole store could hear) "Mommy, look! That man's picking his nose!", and pointing. Indeed, dozens of people caught him two knuckles deep 🤣 In car on the way home, instead of a talk about not picking my nose, we had one about not embarrassing strangers... A few years later the outlet mall opened up, that quickly put my mom's clothing shop out of business and we moved to KC.
Osage en route, look forward to seeing what you make of it!

Thanks Todd, we're lucky guys! Hope the fish are biting in this heat?

Or maybe, just maybe, Bart is good at his job? Cow-whisperer?

*All* of us, or mostly just ModocED?

And a finer Monday morning it is now, thanks for sharing Mr. P, and nice to have you back from "fishing". 👋. Two veryfine Primble's you've shown lately, the flat-bolstered coffin jack might be my new favorite Mr.P carry, up there with your carpenter's whittler 👍 Hope your rain comes here next.

Sunday carry, on top of pile of cedar limbs blown down by that last much-needed storm.

Bonus shot for @Amir Fleschwund , can't find the quote but I remember you asking how I carry the little PL SOB? I've the crossdraw sheath Paul made for me, which is great if I don't have to bend over too much and need to draw it a lot, and the little Northwoods Pocono pocket sheath. This little whittler is 2.0 oz so lighter than most small pocketknives, it's great to pack as a fire knife and throws better sparks than any dedicated ferro striker I've used.

Eat your cake while you can people, and make it the best Monday it can be - even if that's not very good.

Well, I guess mostly Modoc Ed.🤪🚮

Crappie71 Crappie71 - A full frontal nude of your trash can would have really been great. Always, make your trash cans a prominent feature in pictures of them. Take pride in your trash!!!

Modoc Ed, thank you very much for your advice. Truth be known, when looking at your dumpster and sf fanatic‘s neighborhood trash and recycling containers, I’m a little bit embarrassed by my humble trash can, thus the cropped photo highlighting the new bungee cord. I can’t help but think about Theodore Roosevelt, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” I will take pride in my trash now! Thanks again!

Regards,
Crappie71

John Crappie71 Crappie71 - I do have to say you picked a glorious bungee cord for the lid.
 
A short ride out today behind my bike is Chequers the country house of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The farm shop and cafe was closed when I arrived so I found a nice cafe in a garden centre, where I also bought the hedgehog for £2.50 to go with the guardians of my Bunny knife.
Carrying my rather superb 74 and regular bike SAK/EDC today.
I paid my respects at a war memorial,reading every name on the plaque.
On the way back I stopped at a fish and chip shop I havent been to since lockdown
There's a stout bench nearby where I like to sit,eat and ponder.
As I havent ridden for a week my hand didnt hurt to much and so I could enjoy the freedom of 2 wheels in the sun.
