Out in glorious old English sunshine,what a bonus,we have to make the most of it.

I rode my Motorcyle here,there and a little bit everywhere.

As usual I met some intersting characters and saw new sites.

The 77 is perfect for me I can open it with ease,I like the size and both blades work fine.

I used the pen blade early on my journey to cut the rubber rain wipe of my new gloves,it had to precise the gloves cost me £180.

The rubber made it hard to operate the clutch as it kept sticking.


"There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
I know there's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun"

That IS a lot of work. Do you paint the ends and let them dry?

How was your Trad Archery Shoot the other day?

I sealed the ends and the bark side with shellac to prevent drying checks. Summer cut staves are the best for removing the bark, slipped right off in whole pieces from end to end.
The archery shoot near Monroe WI Friday was great. Weather was perfect and the property was just beautiful. There was a vendor selling hand made fixed blade knives but the table was unattended while I was there and neighboring vendors had know idea where to find the maker/seller. Just as well as I have more knives than I need already. There were some fine ones on the table, mammoth bark, vintage micarta and wood scales. Thanks for asking, Jeff.

This knife feels like an old friend, from probably my favorite GEC run of all time. That first big run of beer scouts was so much fun. I spent last night reading through the old posts from that run, reliving memories from ten years back. What a great time.

My father-in-law and I also had some great times popping caps together. I got lucky and managed to land a Soda Scout initially, while my father-in-law received a drop dead gorgeous chestnut sawcut bone.
