Cool BSK!
Hope you're back to 100% soon, with no lingering COVID effects. 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.

Thank you sir! About the same experience for me as well. Four pretty rough days followed by a couple less rough days, leading to today where I feel relatively normal besides some light congestion and a lingering cough. Lost a week of work which I'm not excited to catch up on but such is life.

In any case today I'm totin' my camillus engineer's knife, a prized possession in my small collection. I hope everyone is having a great sunday!

The one on the top, a Camillus-made Buck 303 that I bought in ~'80 to replace a 303 I had lost on a business trip. This one is now semi-retired, having been carried every day for well over 10 years.

This calls for a midday change up! I failed to check the mailbox yesterday, so I thought I'd better do so today just in case. To my surprise, SoansoMcMasters sent me this gorgeous S&M Premier Whittler!!! This one will definitely come in handy if I decide to do a whittle of this or a whittle of that. Straight into the pocket! Thanks, David!

Great combo Charlie

I'd be willing to sacrifice the entire beet crop to the rabbits if it would keep the rabbits away from the rest of the produce.
Despite the fact that my grandpa used to grow (sugar) beets commercially long before I was born, I've never been a fan of beets as food. My mom used to can several quarts of beets every year, but I think my dad was the only one who actually ate them.


Jeff, I sure enjoy some of the photos you've been posting lately; they seem like they're lighted especially well!
I'm guessing you're catching sunrise (or sunset) light at some optimal angle.

Thanks, Jeff.
I like the big clip, smaller spey at least as well as the standard equal-sized clip/spey combo on mini trappers.

Thanks as always, Prof.
Yes, low angle sunlight works best for me. There are some good photographers on the porch, who I try to emulate. Remember Harvey, Cigarro Dog? He always posted well lit shots.

Regarding beets…nature’s blood pressure cure?
I don’t know where the old wive’s tale of rabbits eating root crops (carrots) comes from. I never saw one digging. They eat the shoots and tender young leaves and stems. Clip them off right at the ground. They really whacked my young beets this spring.
Aren’t sugar beets grown for livestock feed? A little different from the round red delicacies that you will learn to love when you grow up

Remember Ed, M modoc ED’s thread on Camillus and Schrade being given short shrift nowadays?
You should start a thread on Ulsters and Uticas. You have some sweet ones.

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.

Love it. In my son’s area in Colorado, people are getting away from grass due to water conservation, but I think they use rocks and call it xeriscape.

@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
