Mike you're an awesome judge of character. When I was only 11 or 12, in 1963, The Crystals allegedly sang about me:

Is it not true Mr. T, that you earned that moniker by trying to divide by zero at age 4?

Heading over to the shop in a few minutes. Gonna carry this Pal Cut Co. cattle punch recovered in rosewood by J. Richey a few years ago. Have a good day folks.:)

I wondered how you would top yesterday's knife.

Nothing on the plate today. My back is still out. Desk carry only today. Don't have skivvies with a pocket stout enough to carry a knife this heavy. Sausage and eggs up for breakfast.

If you wrenched your back, try not carrying a desk around for a couple days.

How were Cindy's biscuits 'n gravy yesterday? You gave me an idea for my traditional Christmas morning breakfast casserole.
Thinking eggs, cheese (duh), shallots, and a bunch of peppers out of the freezer, then top it with scratch made biscuits 'n gravy.
Mabe some bacon laced in with the peppers...

Her biscuits and gravy are always great. It's the Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage that takes them over the top
 
Brand new today, a well traveled Case 6207W Dam. This is my first Damascus bladed knife. I had almost given up on ever seeing it.

I ordered it on December 12 from a large Case seller about 85 miles from my house. They shipped the next day and it went to Springfield, MO and then to Columbia, MO, about 20 miles from me. From there the USPS sent it to North Houston, TX 800+ miles away 🫠
It eventually traveled to Kansas City and then back to Columbia on the 19th. I remind you, about 20 miles away. It was then "In Transit to Next Facility" for three days before returning to Columbia for the third, yes, third time. Where was it for those three days? 🤔 A secret government facility? 🕵️‍♂️ Alien abduction? 👽 Covert ops? 🥷 Who knows? I'm afraid to ask too many questions, lest I be "In Transit to Next Facility" 😧

Anyway...its a nice knife. Good walk and talk. Pull is 5 or 6. No wobble. Springs flush closed, and open for the wharncliffe. Not perfectly flush for the open clip blade, but pretty good and ultimately, unimportant to me. No gaps to speak of. The jigging is called "Second Cut Jig Burnt Goldenrod" by Case. Reminds me of Winterbottom jigging 🤷‍♂️

Glad it arrived! Looks like a nice example. :thumbsup: I find the USPS temp workers used between Thanksgiving and Christmas to be mostly useless. I dread having anything handled by them during the period... Last year I had five different packages sent by different vendors in varying states that ALL got in the USPS Doom Loop. The 3-5 day arrivals in early December eventually found their way at the end of January, nearly eight weeks later... And like yours they were ping-ponging between the same two or three facilities... almost like the folks can't read or they're "just having some fun". So far this year I've only had one that was diverted into the Doom Loop, but it "only" took two weeks to eject.

ETA: BTW the North Houston Distribution is "my" hub so I was not too shocked to see it in your list despite being no where close to the route it should have taken...could it be the center of the Doom Loop black hole?!

"Doom Loop" 🤣

With me its usually the "Kansas City Shuffle" wherein packages bounce back and forth between facilities in KCK and KCMO for three or four days before being spit out. Sometimes in the right direction, sometimes not o_O

On the bright side, they won't be sending you one of those "How did we do? Help us boost our goergle reviews" e-mails like everybody else.

Hey that's my distribution center. Believe me it gets old bouncing back and forth between those 2 when you are close to them. I feel like I could just drive over state lines and pick them up faster.
