Just recieved this little gem. It has been riding around in the mail for 3 weeks, but it finally found it's way home

I think checking the tracking might be like immediately doing an internet search right after the doctor makes some guess as to what you might have, then says "don't google that" as she leaves your hospital room.

I have done both, and it doesn't help.

I think he is exposing a couple of generations to bluegrass and folk music ~ mandolin, stand up bass, flat top guitar, banjo, and fiddle ~ and there are a lot of extremely talented young bluegrass musicians getting noticed because of Billy.
Bluegrass revival
And because of the way he does extended instrumental work and weaving his way into the next melody, the Deadheads are treating him like the second coming of Jerry Garcia. May he rest in peace.

Definitely. I have to be careful, any time I see a bluegrass band live (or any band with a stand up bass), I find myself shopping around for one over the following weeks. I’ve always wanted one, and I think I could pick it up easy enough, but I’m pretty sure the wife would prefer if I just stuck to bass guitar.

Posed on my main tote for this morning's services.

Nice couple of knives, Jeff, and nice Ovation! I had a friend in high school whose dad had one that I used to play pretty regularly.

A little Hammer Brand and although I'm not really totin it around , an Imperial combo I picked up recently .View attachment 2947783

I found a fixed blade and sheath from one of those Imperial combos in my great-grandmother’s tackle box years ago (although the handle on the fixed blade was just black plastic). I’m sure she had the folder at some point, too, since the sheath had the space for it, but it wasn’t with the knife I found. I ended up picking up a Kamp King at an antique shop to pair with the knife and sheath I’d found.

Another cool and foggy day here in the City by the Bay! Forty-one years ago I was in the Presidential Suite of the Stanford Court at the top of Nob Hill getting ready to bite the dirt. It was one of the best days of my life and then some. It was a crazy few days. The day before I was in a bank robbery. I was withdrawing money for our honeymoon when this guy brandishing a gun ran in the bank and yelled, “This is a stickup”(I not kidding) and hopped over the counter told the tellers to open their cash drawers and step back. I had just gotten a couple of grand in cash which was sitting on the counter. Luckily I was at the far end of the counter line so I quickly grabbed my cash and stuffed it in my pocket. When the guy got to my window he grabbed the cash out of the drawer hopped over the counter and ran out the front door. My bike was parked on the sidewalk just outside the front door. So being young and stupid I decided to follow him and ran to the door which the bank manager was locking until the cops arrived. I talked him into letting me out then hopped on my bike. I saw the guy running down the street and take a right at the next block. By the time I got there he was already gone. Rode around the block a few times and went back to the bank which was swarming with cops. I pulled up and walked up to the entrance and there was a guy who had been walking down the street and was giving a description to the cop describing the robber. He looked at me then continued to tell the officer what he saw. The cop asked him if he would recognize the robber if he saw him again and he said absolutely. Then he said he saw him run out of the bank jump on a motorcycle and speed off describing the guy to the cop which wasn’t even close to what I was wearing or riding.It was then that I realized he was talking about me and told them both what had happened. The cop ripped the paper out of his notebook and tossed it. So much for, “Eyewitnesses”. Anyway we had a wonderful wedding the next day which was more memorable than the bank robbery but that’s a story for another time. Back to the post, these two for Metal Monday. Have a great day folks!

Quite a tale, Dan! Glad the cop didn’t take the other guy’s word and try to pin the robbery on you — that would’ve put a bit of a damper on the wedding!

Got back to the cabin this morning, after an overnight in the forest with my daughter. She heads off to college next week, so this may have been my last outing with her. But we did a lot. Mountain biked up a mountain, swam in a wild lake, watched a gorgeous sundown, played backgammon by lantern light, hung out around a roaring campfire, and counted constellations at midnight. I slept in my hammock while she snoozed in the tent she pitched next to me. Then we coasted back down the mountain this morning.

I’m back to the ironwood barlow today.

Beautiful photo!

I’ve had these two in my pocket most of the week, Cosimo Lunar Lamb and the Riverbottom Richlite #81. The wife’s been traveling for work, so it’s just been me and the two hooligans — no time to change knives!
