I suggest you ask Mrs. Crappie to bury you up to the neck in sand. Highly recommended . Very calming and spa-like.

Great pair! Very jigful and vintagely awesome.

That inexpensive Barlow looks very Imperial sitting on a post, John!

Love those canoes Gary.
I like Johnny Cash's raspy voice singing it.

Thanks, Bob.

Back from Tennessee. The 13 year and 17 year cicadas are out. Its pretty loud outside. Kind of cool really
Bunny and bug...Bugs Bunny

...

Thanks GT.
I may have missed my calling.

Those barrel knives are quite irresistible!

Dutch Treat!

My doctor's office has measured me at everything from 6"1" to 6'4.5". It was six four and a half Friday.

Big Camillus for a big guy:

Sounds like your stretching exercises are paying off, Jer; that's quite an adult-onset growth spurt!

Haven't fished for years. Gathered up all my new, unused, fishing gear - rods, reels, lures, hooks, sinkers, you name it and am taking it all to my barber in town. He's an avid fisherman, has two boys that love to fish so, all the gear will go to good use. This Buck 501 Squire will be my carry during this adventure. No breakfast - saving room for lunch at the Wagon Wheel Cafe.

Generous gift of fishing gear, ED!

Two for Two Blade Tues


Rodgers and a Camillus

Outstanding ossification on that pair, Steve!

1975 Canoe, from the year of my birth, and a 1935 Buffalo Nickel. Don’t get much better than that! Stay Sharp.

Impressive "blasts from the past"! Having a birth year canoe is something I dream about!

Splendid photo!

A full size Case trapper from 1990 that I bought from the local lumber yard and a 2010 Case Swayback Gent that I bought from a dealer that same year. I've been toting the trapper in my horizontal belt sheath and the swayback in a pocket slip since Monday. Don't ask me why cause I dunno. Today was the first photo session for knives that I have owned for 34 years and 14 years.

I'll bet those knives appreciated being photographed after patiently waiting for so long!

Man I hate posting after Primble, but here’s these Canal Street Canittlers for 3 blade Thursday. View attachment 2577848

Splendid pair of canittlers!

Yes it does!
That's a great shade of blue & it makes the red shield really POP!

Thanks, Zach.
I once thought maybe I should start hunting down as many patterns in the blue bone, red shield series as I could, but then I decided I already had too many knives on my bucket list.

After the dentist, I did a Walmart run, and then went for a scooter ride. For various reasons - weather, out of town, general lack of ambition, blah, blah, blah, I haven't ridden much this year
Jeez...I needed a good long ride. All is right in the world again
Swapped the Cadet for the Pioneer X for the ride.

I don't have an urge to get a motorized 2-wheeler, but an Alox X knife moves the needle!

Wow, I haven't seen a Stroh's in decades.

It has been a long time since I have seen a Strohs. Even longer since I drank one

That was my favorite beer.

They were a Detroit beer.The family tried absolutely everything to stay afloat. Somebody in Milwaukee bought the name.
...

Yeah, I grew up on the north side of Detroit metro. I remember seeing the huge red Stroh's sign on top of the brewery. It was a Detroit landmark. It was a sad day when they tore it down. I seem to recall that Pabst ended up with the Stroh's name. I didn't know they were making it again. I didn't drink much of their beer, but they sure had good ice cream

I was also struck by the photo that included a can of Stroh's. I used to drink that brand quite often back in the 1970s. Is the "revived" version of Stroh's still "fire-brewed"? I remember "fire-brewed Stroh's beer" ads from Detriot Tigers radio broadcasts when I was a kid in the 1960s. I looked up the brewery's history online - pretty interesting. Started in Detroit in 1850, sold door-to-door from a wheel barrow; by 1982, Stroh's had become the 3rd largest American brewer, behind Anheuser-Busch and Miller. But by 2000, Stroh's had to sell out to Pabst. I didn't realize that when Stroh's was expanding, they bought out other brands including Augsburger, Goebel, G. Heileman (Old Style), Lone Star, Old Milwaukee, Schaefer, and Schlitz. I've never had the chance to try their ice cream.

The beach week has been the bees knees.



...

That honeycomb muskrat is awesome! Acrylic covers?

Minor tremors just north of us!

Not surprising, Bob; those knives are earthshaking!

Yeah, we went in and told the salesman, "No Buttons - Just knobs" but couldn't avoid a "Push to Start Button". Feels like starting our old tractor - warm up the glow plugs and push the button to start.

Somehow, I missed quoting mbkr Mike's post about not giving any of his appliances internet access. That and ED's post gave me great pleasure, and remind me that I easily get my money's worth on The Porch ($30/yr membership, or about 8¢/day) in entertainment value.

Nice pair Gary !

Thanks, Steve.

Pocketed this copperhead and whittler combo today. Spent much of the day at my shop and the Green River fb was on the bench there so I threw it into the pic as well.
I haven't been on the inter web much lately so I'm way behind, looks like everyone is doing fine in the knife world.View attachment 2578754

Good to see you here again, Greg! Superb covers on your copperhead!!

Also, glad to see you escaped certain doom at the beach to make it make home. Two great knives with you today.

[Boattale]

Can a person carry a knife known as Peckerwood on a Sunday? Heathen that he is, he convinced me yes. And his new to me peanut pal too. Getting around better these days, thankfully.

Carrying a Remington (repro) Mini Trapper today. No specific plans or chores to do. Was gonna watch the Indy 500 and NASCAR but looks like Indy will get rained out. Best part of the day is gonna be Jimmy Dean hot sausage and gravy and biscuits for breakfast.
