Thank you buddy. Just went out to check on them as it was 30.5 this morning, and just snapped the photo as an afterthought.

These are little Champagne grapes I planted back in the early 80s. Colder it gets, the sweeter they get.

My wife just used to called it “Woman Medicine”.

Recipe is very simple:

Crush and strain, half gallon glass jars or quart glass mason jars, partial packet of live yeast, 1/4 cup rock sugar.

Cool dark place to store it, loosen the lid a bit to allow for fermentation, smell the aroma starting around Thanksgiving, it’s ready by Christmas.

My neighbor used to make cherry wine from a cherry tree in his yard. Crazy sweet and it was stout!

Awesome pair of knives!

I’ve been meaning to take care of the weeds and stuff behind the house back there (honestly, it’s a space we don’t use very often, so it doesn’t get top priority when it comes to getting stuff done). I didn’t even realize there was poison ivy. I don’t think I’ve ever had a reaction to it, but still, I’ll take care now when I deal with it. My dad always had terrible reactions to poison ivy.

I can feel your dad's pain, I will break out all over if I get any where near it. I have to get a couple steroid shots every year because as hard as I try not to, I always end up getting into it somehow. Now I'm always on the lookout for it. It looks like a nice little spot you have there.

Lovely afternoon,the Sun was out and it didnt feel to cold.

So I hopped on my bike and rode over to a nice cafe that I know has a bit of a suntrap outside seating area.

It was Tuesday but I am a rebel so walked down Friday street and I didnt even care.

Looked in a few old shops and bought a book,I hope the patter matches the film.

• Carmen Sternwood: You're not very tall, are you?
• Philip Marlowe: Well, I, uh, I tried to be.

• Vivian: You go too far, Marlowe.
• Marlowe: Those are harsh words to throw at a man, especially when he's walking out of your bedroom.

• General Sternwood: How do you like your brandy, sir?
• Philip Marlowe: In a glass.

A bit cooler riding home,but any sun now is a bonus in England.

I’ve got a couple knives like that. I never really used a knife slip for anything until I got my Albers.



Thanks, Bob. I wouldn’t be surprised. The area we live in, which is technically an island on Lake Minnetonka, is fairly densely populated, but also has some decent wooded areas between some of the houses and in a few larger spaces. We see deer occasionally (though this is the first one I’ve seen just lying around), foxes, lots of raccoons and other wildlife. If the deer are anything like the raccoons, they’re probably somewhat used to people being around.

A couple months back I was taking out the trash one night and when I opened the lid to the trash can, this big fat raccoon scrambled out of it, onto the top of the recycling can and did an arms-flailing belly flop into the yard before scrambling off into the trees. I followed him with my flashlight and saw there was another raccoon waiting there in the trees for him, and they both just stood there at stared at me for a while, as if they were waiting for me to leave so they could resume digging through my trash.

The raccoons have nothing on our steriod taking roos

I would definitely rather be startled by a raccoon climbing out of my trash can than a buff kangaroo doing the same!

Hope you all had a great time Jon

Have a great day everyone Carrying my K'roo Waboom Lambsfoot, and a Random Tuesday #15 Boy's Knife

Thanks so much Jack. We had a wonderful time. I love getting the kids out in the woods and away from tech for awhile.

I always love seeing the Waboom! Great photo of it .

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Exquisite ebony, Jack; that gunstock looks very classy in black!
What is that vegetation behind your Guardians Lambsfoot?

Two beautiful gunstocks, major, thanks for showing them! Old Robey for me this morning.

Vibrant vintage jack, Jeff!

Practicing before carving club.

As a fan of the canoe pattern, those Oar Carvers have caught my eye on the rare occasions that I see them posted.
Is it a better-than-average folding knife for whittling?

Cape Cod Jack from the Wellfleet Drive-In flea market. Dug out from the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket by my son, daughter and a grandson. Cost $5
Both blades w+t and it's sharp as heck even though it doesn't look it

That's a "golden oldie" and marvelous find!

Au Sabot tonneau (barrel) from Knives of France.

I admire that multiblade barrel knife; I certainly wouldn't give it the boot!
Could the smaller blade be a lambsfoot?

Case 64052 and 6347HP, both from1978, for my front pants pockets.

Gotta do a better job of wiping oil off the blades.

Couple of fantastic Case examples, Stuart!
I'm a big fan of the '47pattern in all of its manifestations, including a 4-blade model you posted recently in another thread (maybe the Who Still Carries a Case thread).

Cool photos, Jeff!

Thanks GT. It's buffalo horn.




Best wishes your wife is doing well

Mike, thanks for the cover info and for the well wishes for my wife.
She's getting around the house quite well now, including stairs, and hasn't used a walker for over a week, but she doesn't have much range of motion in the new knee yet, and is not close to being ready to drive a car yet.

So being retired is just a cover for your true profession as a ninja synth. eb. smuggler!?! Exciting!

Lambs all weekend.

Lovely lamb triplets, JJ!

I hope everyone's week goes well.

The week of the 16th is now the 11th week I've had the Eureka Jack and Lanny's Clip in the mix. I think after the 12th I'll pull them a little while and use some other knives. Maybe. Until then, this week:

Cool to see that you have that Vic Pocket Pal in the lineup with all those amazing knives!
I have an inexplicable affection for Pocket Pals!
