Couple C Johnson knives.

 

[Modoc ED]

My 10.00 eBay purchase that I brought back to life, what a great knife. I really enjoy fixing up these old neglected knives.

I've got one of those. Never used or sharpened as far as I know. From the 1932 to 1956 era. Kinda forgot I have it. I'll tote it today. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

What a fine pair of Catts

Thank you David.

I remember that background; it was a good one!
I firmly believe that our days are numbered, but none of us know what our numbers are!

That's my favorite era of Böker Barlow, Rob!

I caught it a couple of weeks ago and had 4 dismal days, but started getting better a week ago. Pretty much back to normal now.

Knowing that you are a numbers kind of guy, I would expect that ! .............Well ..... it did make a fine birdhouse.

Appreciate the love for my 50's era Boker. Wish they made them that good now. I don't understand what is so hard about putting a high quality bolster stamp on a Barlow and having nice swedges on the blades. It surely wasn't that difficult in the past.

Glad to see you are almost mended.

I really like that Scrimshaw RR Canoe (don't tell nobody) and if it didn't have such long eyelashes, I might love it.

 

[Primble]

It does bring some joy to the day David.

I agree ....... but sometimes I wonder just how much when a few hours later I'm on the hunt again !

Nice photo of a trio of natural materials, Tyson!
Very belated congrats to you and your spouse for your wedding anniversary!
Thinking about days gone by, what's the status of the front yard project you worked on so hard a year (or two??) ago? Were you hoping to get some grapes growing there? (We've had many years of good grape harvests on vines along the alley fence in our back yard, but this year we've got NADA!?! )

Thanks!
Post-lawn removal, Plan A was to plant grapes in Spring, 2024. But the soil was in such bad shape, Plan B was to plant a mix of clover, wildflowers, and poppies to restore the soil, then plant grapes in Spring 2025. Parts of the lawn did great with the mix (see pic below) and other parts grew nothing. So Plan C is now one more year of cover crops, then grapes in Spring 2026.

Commendable job of transforming front yard.

Thanks, Bob! Come by in 5 or 6 years, and if every little thing has gone right, we'll serve you some mediocre wine we'll have made from grapes we grew ourselves! (And I promise we'll pour you something really good right after that.)

Lol....there is always grape jelly Tyson, if all else fails. Just promise to wash your feet before stomping those .

I carry one of these in a slip.

Have a great one!

Top drawer sir, top drawer!

Love the watch

Thanks Mike! Seems to pair quite nicely with the red cellidor SAK too

Recently arrived harness jack for today. I was surprised to find one for non-scalper prices. I'm thoroughly impressed with it. So I've decided to take some fun pics with it for y'all.
(Some of y'all might remember me talking about how mellow our bee's are, well here's an example)

The bees are "bearding" outside the hive. Pretty much they are getting too hot inside so they come out to cool the hive down. Some even stand at the entrance in rows & fan their wings to circulate air throughout the hive to help. It's normal behavior.

Not washing feet is where the flavor boost comes from!

I always enjoy seeing that one out and about. I'm sorry I haven't kept up with The Porch goings-on lately. Do you still go to that same vacation spot these days?

I know the feeling!

Today's carry is a hundred years old and a hair over 3 inches long. Enough knife to handle sitting around in the air conditioning and watching Olympics all day.

 

[Rufus1949]

I hope all have had a comfortable weekend.

Primble and CelloDan Both of you have been discussing the temporary disappearance of those delightful little birds you call Chickadees. You may be amused/outraged to find that in British English and for European parlance these are called Tits... Great Tit, Blue Tit etc. don't shoot the messenger I'm just a by-stander I've noticed that these birds vanish from my garden around this time and it's due to end of breeding season or moulting in the woods and low activity I believe . They return in autumn vigorous as ever, we don't have Chipmunks so we don't have odd names for them either

Queen Utility in ACSB for today

These two seem like they make it into my pocket a lot lately.

We have several different species of titmice in our area.
Very nice Queen.

Even though it’s changed ~ mansions instead of cabins, salt water rated cruisers instead of my 15’ fishing boat, since we sold my Grandparents lake house, I still miss the Lake.
I hope your friend loves the Buck

There were a couple of comments about how much the Lake area had changed in the last 50 years. Lots of geezers there
I moved to MO in 1984 and the change really is astonishing.

Still a pretty lake.
Not my pic:
