Thanks, Jack. I have at least a handful of Barehead Jacks in ebony, but I couldn't resist picking this one up. I want to look through my old ones and see how many were import brands owned by A. Kastor.
That might make for an interesting thread.

I wonder if I could collect the whole set. 🤣

Rough Ryder 'CLASSIC CARBON' series RR1740 "XL" Stockman (only 4.25 inch closed), and a RR1736 Canoe (3.625 inch closed).
Kurv Red Jinhao X450 fountain pen, loaded with Noodlers 'Qin Shi Haung'/'First Emperor' (Magenta) archival/forever (after it dries on the paper) ink.
The ink is bright, but not eye searing after a couple lines.

I hope the sun and the warms take the hint and show up ...
 
Cindy is going to put her plants to bed for the upcoming winter today. She needs plants, bags of mulch, and the like moved so, I'll use the bucket on the small tractor to move those things for her. She prefers hand clippers over a pruning knife but I'll make my Buck 810 Utility Knife available to her should she want to use it.

I'll be carrying a red micarta Bull Nose for whatever comes up that requires a knife.

I woke up today with no plans but within about 10 minutes I decided to drive down to Mount St Helens. I first saw it 31 years ago and was completely blown away(no pun intended) by the utter devastation and the amazing landscape. It was like drawing a line where the lush green forest stopped and lunar landscape began. I try to get down there a couple times a year but don’t think I made it last year.

I had a couple errands to do while leaving town, hitting NAPA for some 2 amp fuses and the post office. At the post office I ran into an old timer that had recently moved here from the East coast. He had never seen Mount St Helens so I offered to take him along, to which he happily went. Weather was almost perfect today with just a little haze from some small fires. Some good scenery was coming up once we broke out of the timber.

The third photo has Mt Adam’s in the distance. One of the first things you come up to is the “Miner’s car”, a 1972 Pontiac that was destroyed in the blast. I’m pretty sure the old timer may have ridden in a similar vintage car or three, if not an identical Pontiac.View attachment 2324332

Not too far up the road you run into Spirit lake. It’s amazing that the trees that were ripped out of the hillside by the blast, avalanche and water coming out of the lake are still floating after 43 years. I took along a Swiss Army knife so thought a photo op was called for.View attachment 2324333View attachment 2324334View attachment 2324335

We didn’t have to go much father when you finally see the mountain. The old timer was speechless. I eventually got him to pose with my SAK…View attachment 2324336

I figured the Old timer would like a picture next to the Miner’s car, so one more stop on the way out.

Great photos! I was in grade school and living in Blaine, WA when the mountain blew. (Way north of mount Saint Helens). The family was out the door headed to the car for church when we heard the explosion. Literally rattled the windows 😳.

The Chiefs have Chris Jones and Travis Kelce back, so maybe today will have a better outcome than last week 🤞
