Despite his best efforts, you still ended up with it ;) I do like those Cami TL-29's quite a bit, will pick one up sometime. Are the pins steel or brass? The Garlic looks good, reminds me it's time to solarize my patch before I turn and plant.
I lost the quote but I was going to raz you about your trash can before Ed does. You need to patch those bullet holes and respray your Seafoam. Gotta keep up with the Joneses. Maybe if you spruced up the end of the drive Bart *would* decide to drive that sweet Seafoam machine over?

The onions are gypsy onions, walking onions, top onions, probably a lot of other names. These came from an older Gypsy who used to stay across the street part of the year. She said her family brought them over when they migrated, they have some serious miles on them. You can just toss a couple anywhere and come back in a year, there will be a patch going. I prefer them as green onions but they can good for cooking too if you're wanting smaller, spicier onion bulbs.

Cool! I knew they were onion, but didn’t know the variety. They’ll be planted, you betcha.

Pins are usually nickle silver as I mentioned in my PM to you. I think brass is too soft for hinge and pivot pins. Lots of forces depending on those pins. Brass pins are fine for pinning on handle scales, but I prefer the look of nickle silver.

I think I’ll start another asparagus bed where I’ve been growing garlic, and put that somewhere else.

Or maybe he didn't want it to walk off. I have tools, my Dad used on the job that he engraved his name on.

I'd like to have a couple of these, but I don't have a "personal relationship with my dealer" so I didn't bother. I have plenty of knives and I can enjoy these vicariously here on BF :thumbsup:
Plus, I might accidently pick one up eventually ;)

That’s possible, but all the tools I have from my late step grandad, who engraved his personal tools with his initials, were done working man style ~ freehand with one of those vibrating engravers, or a pointy bit in a Dremel. With the crude results you’d expect. This engraving looks professionally done, like he took it to a jeweler, or to WValtakis WValtakis . That suggests something more, like it was a gift, or he just really, really liked it😀 I wouldn’t blame him, cuz it is a TL-29, after all. 😎

My bike hit 83,000 miles today,what a beauty she is and very reliable.😍

I took my Patada, a souvenir from my trip to Sardinia with me.😍

I like to have things from my trips around me (doesnt have to be expensive) like the sticker from a fantastic record store in Spain which also had music and coffee in the back room.😍

The mug I won in a bike raffle so I have left it at Koti a bike stop,you can leave your own mug or they serve you a disposable cup.
Health and safety means unless they buy an expensive dishwasher machine they cant re use there own proper mugs,its just madness nowadays.
It looks a bit hipster like,which obviously I am the total opposite. 😁

Sad to say the pain was just to bad today, I cant ride 20 mins before it kicks in,I collapsed and fell asleep when I got home.
The worst thing is there is nothing I can do no exercises, no stretches,no operation its just constant pain.

Pain weakens you I was shivering riding the bike and have turned the heating on (in summer) at home its on 24c,what a wimp.

I found 2 linesman's pouches at a favourite antique/jumble shop one looked NOS I didnt buy them though.

The way I look at it at least I am still alive and out and about,many I served with aren't so its a small blessing.

That’s a real drag about the hand pain, John. Maybe the best healer of all can help ~ time?
I’m sure the vibration of the bike aint helping.

I did not mean to imply your lasagne did not look good…it did.
Maybe the UK has a higher quality of offerings in the gas stations.

Over here, in a lot of places, it takes a brave man to buy something off the roller grill.

Upon reflection 🤔 I agree. My Dad's all look like he did them freehand with an engraver :thumbsup:

Oh no we set a low standard and fail to achieve it. 😂

There was a scandal not long ago when they found out supermarkets where using old horse meat deliberately mis labelled in a lot of products.

They blamed us saying we wanted cheap food :(

Forgive me, please, but I gotta ask ...
1) Does old horse meat taste different than young horse meat?
2) While not a grocer, was Mc Donalds implicated in blending horse meat into their hamburgers or for serving horse burgers instead of cow burgers?

(I heard years ago that Mc D's was blending Roo meat in their burgers world wide. Not an issue for me ... from what I understand, Roo tastes good, and it no "worse" than eating pig, goat, sheep, rattlesnake, frog, ally gator, shark, octopus, squid, snails ...)

No idea, they fed us horse meat when I was with the French Commandos that was like string.

But as they where French it was probably gourmet and we where English and to un educated to appreciate it. 😁
