Nothing wrong with being prepared.Two Schrades, both special because they were gifts from PorchstersView attachment 2329305View attachment 2329306
Nothing ever happens, but the Buck 119 is always there, tucked in by the driver’s seat.
And since @Modoc ED confessed to totin a Spyderco for a doctor visit, I’ll admit there might be a Soyderco Police, and an old S&W model 38 Airweight Bodyguard in .38 Special in the car, too.
I am not a huge train buff. More one that wants to see "off the beaten path" locations. Tracks do not always follow roads. The different routes are what interests me.You guys need to come visit. I’ll take you to the Illinois Railway Museum! If you’re into trains, it’s pure heaven. They even have an old spur that runs about seven miles out into the corn and beans, and give rides on old steam engines.
Mike, they are always accepting experienced volunteers! You do have an engineer’s cap, right?View attachment 2329384
Your wife and I would get along.
When I was a kid, Grandpa always planted zinnias, and I carry that on in his memory. View attachment 2329352View attachment 2329354View attachment 2329355
The ones at the ends of my tomato and bean rows really dig the manure and compost, and are 5 and 6 feet tall.
And you’re right ~ the hummingbirds and butterflys like them.
That’s a fine everyday choice, Rick. Belt, or pocket carry?
Jeff must have had a great crop of TL's this year? Maybe if we ask nicely, he'll tell us what fertilizer he uses to grow that superbly functional black delrin? Something toxic made by dupont, I'd wager (do they make anything that isn't?). He's awfully generous with them, like everything from his garden!Jeff,Amir Fleschwund thank you very much my friend. These were unexpected and a surprise. The stockman went into my watch pocket displacing the coin I carry in it and the electrician's displaced my sodbustet from RFP.

Yer tempting me to get my (c.1978 to 1984) 4 pin 7OT out, and put it onto my belt next to/ behind the Leatherman Charge+ TTi.
A pair of golden woodies David.
Thank you.Yer tempting me to get my (c.1978 to 1984) 4 pin 7OT out, and put it onto my belt next to/ behind the Leatherman Charge+ TTi.
Tho to be honest ... I "should" get out the Oak 'n 5160 Buck 110, reprofile the edge to the 7OT's 10DPS, and tote it for a spell or three.
The LB7's are all 440A blades, correct?
A real beauty you have there.![]()
Your Albers Lambsfoot sure is a dandy!
Thanks a lot David, that's a fine-looking pair you have there
