Posting today from the shore of Little Lake Butte Des Mortes (I don't know French, but I'm guessing that translates to something like Hill of the Dead) in Menasha, WI. We'll be here for several days in some Vrbo rental my wife found so she can check out some local quilt shops. I'll be walking some trails along the lake and Fox River, and exploring downtown Menasha and adjacent Neenah, WI, home of the Neenah Foundry, famed (to me) for their manhole covers. The rental in which we're staying is a little old house with a weird floorplan and inexpensive structural elements (walls, floors, ceilings, woodwork, cabinets, windows, furniture), but it's very clean with good appliances, nice towels, excellent selection of "kitchen stuff" (silverware, dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc.) and fantastic location on the water.

As usual, I have a pair of Canoes of the Week (perfect for our surroundings).

I’m thinking along the same lines … I’m heading to Upstate NY tomorrow to get the lake house opened up for the summer. I’ll be carrying a couple of Canoes - a Case from the 1980’s and an A.G. Russell in awesome dark stag.

You've had quite the selection! Great pics btw.
I still love the coloring on your Horsewright 👍
Whose the maker on the 4th pic down, the patina fixed blade with WW mark?

Thankee Zach! I've been into fixed blades awhile now, long enough to really know what I'll use/carry. Horsewright comes highly recommended in that dep't. Also Wayne Walker of WW customs (good luck getting onto his books though)

Thank you David! I was digging on your skinny/fat polished/jigged combo today ;)

For the first time ever today, I'm slim doggin' it for Micarta and Metal Monday. This is my first Muskrat blade and I blame pat9198 pat9198 because when I saw it next to his REK I hung my head in defeat and ordered one.
 
Got busy and forgot to post this morning. Here is my carry today, the old boring reliable SAK in the foggy morning. The other picks are of American Goldfinches that have been visiting our feeders. They are quite pretty little critters I think.

Edited to add, does anyone find the small blade on SAK to be surprisingly useful? I didn't think I would use it much, but always seem to gravitate to it.
