You're a generous guy BobAlways generous with your kind comments Jack...thank you.![]()
That one was copper Alan, but you've just reminded me I bought a brass one a while back, and it's still in the box!You should know Jack. Weren’t you the one who posted the brass slipjoint version?
Kettle aide, that sounds like a good day John. I have bought several of those mats, and like the way they slip easily into a jacket pocket. I have one by another English maker (Blue's Bushcraft), but it is much bulkierAfter heading to Sainsburys to buy "the most important piece of equipment in a Englishmans home" its a kettle of course (after blowing mine up by running it dry).
I drove all of 5 miles to try coffee at a place ive not been before.
The staff where very friendly and I was able to have a small walk by the lake after my coffee.
Thats as adventurous as it gets,I wont ever be able to climb K2 or the North face of the Eiger again (not that I did before mind you).
Boy is the Craftsman sharp I sat on a log whittling just for the sake of it.
Note my sit mat I have several versions this is the unlined one which fits in my pocket,the others are lined for warmth.
It drapes around things unlike a foam mat and keeps your bum dry,also good for EDC/knife photos, picnics and the like.
Then I stopped by a garden centre on the way back and had a cuppa after wandering around the pet store section and chatting to the Bunnys,oops wrong knife with me.
I hope everyone one had as exciting a day as me...

Ha! If I live to be a 100 I’ll never figure out why I confuse brass and copper. Either way, the Boker Atlas is a fine knife.That one was copper Alan, but you've just reminded me I bought a brass one a while back, and it's still in the box!![]()

Hate you are fixing fences. The cause sounds like something a 223 or a couple of donkeys could easily resolve.I carried my eureka today. Something chased the cattle and balled them up in a couple different corners and they blew up the fences in several places. Most of the cattle were in the wrong field, I had cattle in with the neighbor’s cattle, heifers in with the bulls and steers, and a bunch of fence to fix. I suspect it was the three coyotes I saw in the next field.![]()

My cleverness keeps displaying struck through with characters missing.
Probably not as clever as I think anyway.
