Thank you on both accunts, my friend.

It may seem ridiculous having such a big garden for three people, but I think my year as a partner in an organic market farm taught me some practices that have carried over. Things like succession planting, where you harvest and replant to keep it growing.
Besides canning and freezing as much as possible, and of course, eating fresh food, I have lots to share. Besides taking care of our parents, we just found out that a woman at our new church works at some kind of medical facility for poor folks, and they are needing lots of fresh food to provide. So I plan on taking food for her too.
So glad others can benefit from your talents and generosity Jeff. 👍🏻🧑‍🌾
 
Well you can just make up for that today. Nuce pair!
Although you may be the first I’ve aeen totin two fixed blade at once. Pocket sheaths, and one in each front pocket?
Thanks, Jeff! I should have identified what I was posting. I never realized the Fox Livri slip joint might be mistaken for a fixed blade! It does look like it though! Great little knife in M390 and Ziricote.
The other knife I bought off the Exchange from the maker, Zuluninja Zuluninja . Nice knife in Cocobolo and CPM-S35VN. The belt sheath is leather with a Crocodile inlay. Very cool!
 
I'm going to remove a couple lattice panels (you know where pieces of wooden slats are crisscrossed with each other to give a diamond appearance) which will require some shaving and trimming of those wooden slats. This Buck 112 that came in yesterdays mail is just the ticket for such a job. It's nice and sharp and ready to go. This is a stay at home day. Sausage and scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Well, the bunny knife and the mesquite 23 finally got bumped out of rotation, after several weeks....
I found some of the knives I'd boxed up when we had to empty the master bedroom for new carpet... good old friends... so today it's the Case sowbelly in CV and yellow delrin, and the stag 74.... a very pleasant combination....

today 7-27-23.jpg
 
I hope everyone's AC is working.
Last time I checked 🤷‍♂️ ;)

Splendid pair my friend :) :thumbsup:
You carry some great-looking fixed blades :cool: :thumbsup:
Another summer day here in the City by the Bay! No big plans for the day. Giants have a day off after sweeping the A’s ⚾️. Keeping me company will be the the usual lamb and a TC barlow. 😀

Nice pairing :cool: :thumbsup:
 
It might be a day sooner than anticipated, but I believe I will bench the 828318 Dixie Stockman, and put Bunny Number 291 back in.
No picture, since no other player changes, and "everyone" nose what the 392122 2022 BF Bunny (team front runner for the 2023 "Knife of The Year" award) looks like. Therefore no "need" to use up Spark's bandwidth unnecessarraly, right?.😁👍

Pocket:
TC 391222 "Bunny Knife".
Case 62131CV with (now "pocket worn") Amber Jigged Bone Canoe.

Belt:
Leatherman Charge+ TTI on 32" lanyard, in LM camo sheath, with bit sets 1 & 2, a 1/4 inch bit ratchet, & Telescopic ZEBRA 301(?) Stylus/Pen.
SAK Hercules (on SAK metal belt loop).
SVORD Peasant with "New Black" (AKA: "ORANGE") handle.
Douk Douk 'El Baraka'.
Higonokami 10 (brass handle).

Neck Knife:
Toferner "Celtic Pocket Knife".

Please have a wonderful weekend. 👍

I have plenty to do but fixing the garage door just jumped the line into first place.
After coffee and checking out the garden.
Taylor’s Eye Witness Real Lambsfoot, and Case Trapper for me today.View attachment 2266096
LF and Cherokee Chocolate tomatoes. View attachment 2266077This is my third year growing this one, and we put it in First Place in the taste competition, although it is a very close call.
It was supposedly a genetic strain of Cherokee Purple. The tomatoes have brownish streaks coming down from the stem end. I put out a lot of this variety this year.
View attachment 2266078The Brandywine tomatoes are sizing up nicely, too. This is an old heirloom that has a superb taste as well. I’m glad the plants are healthy. Last year, some disease killed the Brandywines.
Not good that the garage door cut in front of everything else on the priority list.
Garden is looking good.

Always good when things grow well enough to share with others.
 
Tote'n this two blade single back spring Klaas today. At 4-1/4" closed with a main blade that uses all the blade well for length it makes for a fairly big knife but is so slim that it carries very nicely. The blade pull on both are strong enough to give that satisfying snap without being a struggle to open. Great blade action and no half stops is what I personally prefer in a folder. :)

Another rip roaring day. 😁

It started of by my going to a different hospital today with beautiful green spaces and a tranquil atmosphere as you can see in the first photos.

The only problem was it was the "wrong" hospital,I was supposed to be at another hospital 5 minutes away.😅

This one was literally falling apart,lifts and toilets not working doors hanging of the hinges,filthy in places.

Hectic parking with warning signs of big fines if you got it wrong,still as usual the NHS staff where friendly.

The old lady's are the back bone of Old England,they run a good volunteer café and sell things like the tea cosys/baby clothes which they knit themselves.

I bought the least fancy one I could find,its actually a very good design and kind of expands with side panels to fit different size pots.


The White Stripes played at The Cape of Good Hope pub before they where famous,sadly I didnt know the group then or about the gig so didnt go.

I had a Coffee in a record store and bought my first Alice Cooper record S/H,records are not cheap nowadays.

The Sicilian deli is very good I bough a cannelloni (frozen for transportation to England),gorgonzola and pasta on the owners recommendation,all genuine products.

The map of the UK was from a Chinese run shop, I put it on the back of my door to use as a general reference for UK trips.

When I got home I made tea so I could try out my tea cosy,I found that it doubled as a bobble cap but I decline to show a photo in case you laugh.🤣🤣🤣
