Love the wheels.Thanks David, I agree. So many cool Case patterns that they don’t make anymore.
I agree with your seafoam green thoughts, Jeff. I don’t have a seafoam guitar but I do have a seafoam green ‘61 Bel Air.![]()
I don’t have a decent picture handy but you get the idea.

"Live life like someone left the gate open!"Yesterday's bike ride in the country hosted this 1998 Buck 442 Bucklite on my hip. I normally tote my 1995 Custom-Elk Antler-Scaled, 112 Ranger while riding in the country, and reserve this knife for traveling by air, which I don't do anymore. I also carry it while visiting the beach - the salt water doesn't seem to affect it in any way. But yesterday, It just felt right riding on my hip in a codura nylon Buck pouch, as I was traveling light with my Nikon and Ultra-Wide Angle 10-20mm zoom lens, and only one banana. To clarify... my Redbone 303 Buck Cadet rode in my pocket, as well as the SwissBuck Trekker that resides in my bike trunk bag, while exploring the Mississippi River bottomland on this day.
I'm a clip blade & brass liner sort of guy at heart - something to do with the knives I knew growing up. With that said, I still couldn't pass on this garage sale Buck for a buck a number of years back. This is the one that had a broken tip, and was so full of what looked to be tackle box gunk, that I cleaned it up and spent the $2.75 shipping and sent it off to Buck Knives for a re-profiling of the tip. ($2.75... those were the days, my friend)
I guess I'm softening a bit on that drop-point gig, because I just laid it out to be today's hip carry around the homefront.

Back when I gardened, I finally found the perfect solution to ridding my garden of Japanese Beetles. Buy a Japanese Beetle Trap... and give it to your neighbor, three houses down the street. Works like a charm.Same 68, and the old Kabar.View attachment 2253106View attachment 2253107
Just got home from a loong rehearsal for a special outdoor church service and picnik.
Using the big amp.

I saw that in a TV movie decades ago. Simon Ward as young Winnie, Robert Shaw as his diseased father, and Anne Bancroft as his American mother.

They don't make 'em like that anymore.
I saw it on TV, but probably it was a theatrical release, with that cast of thousands, and none of them a computer cartoon.
