Poison Ivy gets awfully pretty this time of year. Obviously not my property, or I'd have removed it a long time ago.

An old, and "well loved" (used hard) Schrade Cut Co Linesman, and an almost as old, but unused Camillus 23 Jack.

Big day for us. We've reserved a puppy out of a litter that was whelped seven weeks ago today. We have the third pick out of five boys. Although take home day is not til eight weeks old ~ next Thursday, all prospective owners will be meeting at the breeder's this morning to observe the temperament testing, after which we will make our choices in turn.
After spending time with the sire and dam of this litter, and looking at generations of their ancestry, I really think any of them will make a fine family member.
Except for this one little guy. He growled at my wife when she rolled him onto his back.😗

We have been visiting the litter every week.
Here are the five boys last week at six weeks old ~

One of these guys is coming home with us next Thursday.

I loved this post for the pups, not the poison ivy. 😍

Great looking spear blades Dan. 👍 I especially like the red jigged bone!

My dad had a Corvair shortly after getting married in the late Sixties. It ran into some engine trouble and stalled out right on the train track. With my family’s luck being what it is, that is the exact time a train was coming. He tried to get the car to turn over, but no dice. He managed to get out of the car in time enough to see his beloved Corvair get plowed into by the train and total it. That’s always what I think about when hearing/reading Corvair.

Anywho, story time over, here is what I am carrying today. The Rosecraft is courtesy of @Centermass. I really like the coffin end and center swells.

I really thought that story was going to turn out better... I can't imagine. That's one of my favorite Rosecrafts, even though I don't own any yet.

My 50th is next month, but I've decided not to go. Our daughter would not enjoy it, we'll have a three month old GSD puppy at home, and I don't feel like spending 2 or 3 hundred$ to have to listen to the same group of drunks over by the bar. And two of my buds are no longer with us.
But sure hope your smarter half has a fine time!

I learned how to drive a stick shift in Dad's Corvair. I also learned what oversteer is, and how far barbed wire will stretch without breaking.
Great car.

How do you POSSIBLY choose only one?

During all of our weekly visits, we purposely did not think about that knowing that having third pick of the five boys, two would be taken when our choice came up.
And it turned out perfect. After the temperament evaluations, which took over two hours for all of them, the two chosen before us were not ones we'd have preferred.
The owner/breeder had watched during our visits, and pointed out the one she thought would be the calmest and maybe the best choice considering our daughter. In the end, we thought hard over our two favorites, and ended up choosing the one she'd suggested. This is the guy who'd climbed into Andie's lap and fallen asleep.

You are going to have a fine companion. My 60th was this summer and "what you said," and more of it.

Amazing jigging on that DeBenadetto... would you consider that Rogers Corn Cob jigging? Or Crandall pattern jigging? Very random and cool looking!

Thanks! Cosimo does a fantastic job. I'm not really sure what traditional style of jigging it's most similar to, but Cosimo refers to it as "Lunar" which seems fitting.

We skipped our 20th high school reunion last year. I keep up with a few friends from high school, and don't really feel need to drive 10 hours to force awkward conversation with the anyone I haven't kept up with. (Pictures that Julie saw me on Facebook after the fact confirmed that we had made the right choice.) 🤣

I learned to drive stick shift in a late-80s Isuzu Trooper II. Talk about cool... 😎
