I absolutely love your 66!! Those are some of the best looking covers they've done on the 66, IMHO.

Mine for today:

I'm not sure what that one is, Jeff. It doesn't produce fruit, but then the persimmon by the other driveway doesn't produce fruit either. My tree identification skills are shakey at best. It might very well be some variety of persimmon.

Persimmon leaf on the left. Tree in question on the right. Peanut for scale 🤓

And for today's carry so far while on safari in my yard, the venerable, loved-by-everybody, Buck 110 in ebony and brass

With regard to the Persimmon and the unidentified tree, try Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica).

I have one of those footballs. Somewhere up on a high shelf in our closet. Partially deflated and fading because it’s about 35 years old. Mr. Payton was perhaps the most gracious celebrity I’ve ever met. Matt Suhey was a close second, with a great sense of humor. Every year when we saw Matt, my friend and I would sidle up close with our backs to him and say “just imagine how great Payton could have been if he’d had a decent running mate.” Then ducked the flying water bottle.

Walter was short but wide, and his hands were huge. His hand could wrap around the football, and when he shook my hand, I felt like a toddler.

Yes Walter was very soft spoken and very reserved and such a nice guy !
I bet that deflated football on your shelf is worth some money now . It’s hard to believe it was so long ago it seems like yesterday lol.I remember him getting the news paper in the morning and he would wear this long furry robe lol and he had this Huge black giant schnauzer . His wife was so beautiful and just as nice as he was .
 
I know I posted my carry knife earlier, so this is kind of an addendum. I spent most of the day cutting up some trees that were uprooted by the flash flood a couple weeks ago, and ended up in my back yard. The Stihl did the heavy work, but I had to use the 112 to cut up some of the smaller tangled roots & root balls, so I could drag the roots to the burn pile. They were all covered with dried mud & silt, so I figured it'd be a real test of the Magnacut. I've done this in the past with S35VN & Elmax, and the knives were about as sharp as butter knives when I was done. The Magnacut is still sharp! I'm a believer.
