[Amir Fleschwund]

Never saw delrin like that. Looks like Case's appaloosa bone. What year is it?

Mine is jigged white bone

Yessir, jigged Apaloosa bone. It's very nicely done. Thick enough to be sturdy in case I drop it, and a good grip which helps since it's a smallish knife. 1972.
White bone is classy.

A night of heavy storms completed with "rotation capable of producing tornadic activity" (read that in a computer generated voice off the weather radio~ dang thing kept going all evening until we unplugged it).
Heard of a few tornado sightings, and touchdowns, but have not heard that they did anything other than plow up some cornfields. It went west to east, roughly right between Old Engineer 's vast estate and our humble hovel. I hope he and his bride did ok. My radar showed he got some heavy rain. We got another inch, so Duncan will be a bit muddy for today's Puppy Class.

This is our original clump of giant hosta lilies. Every year I stab my spade into it, and pull up a spadefull to start another clump somewhere else. The leaves get bigger than my head. Later in the season, they put up a 3 or 4 ft flower spike that is a magnet for bumblebees and hummingbirds.

Glad you came out unscathed Jeff.

Thanks Jeff. Upon reflection and after a good night's sleep, I realized your original post was too subtle for me

I recently struck up a friendship with Gilbert Cooper, owner of Cooper Cutlery. I asked him to make some of his Weed & Co knives with a Wharncliffe blade for pruning. He sent me two prototypes. One is in mammoth with a clip point secondary, and the other is in green jigged bone with a spey blade secondary. Both are absolutely amazing knives. He etched the Wharncliffe blades with Budtender, which is what he is calling these prototype models.

Going to make the weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store solo as my bride returns from Europe tomorrow. Keeping me company with a nod to Stag Saturday a couple of beauties. Have a great weekend folks!

Good to hear, Harry.
I really need to fire up the Cub Cadet and hack off the top of the grass, but it's way too wet.

I mistyped yesterday morning when I said it was -18 degrees when I got up. It was actually 18 degrees. This morning it's a balmy 25 degrees. Home bound today with a SS Autumn Bone Sod Buster Jr. in my pocket. Eggs-up and ???? for breakfast.
