View attachment 1253179 I’m totin’ whatever’s in easy reach, for awhile. Today it’s a Schrade USA stainless stockman. A total prosthetic hip replacement, on Wednesday, took a little bounce out of my step!
Thank you, it's great when the holidays overlap on the calendar for SolstiChristmaKah.
It's cold but the sun's coming out.

Might need a lawn tractor.Congratulations on the house! (That looks like a big lawn to mow!) I like the icons--beautiful. And that knife is a marvelous gift.![]()
They will find and send you some shields, but then you have to put them in straight by yourself. They recommend superglue. Epoxy is probably better, but it's messier, and if you have fine motor challenges...Case won't just send you the shields? A little two-part epoxy should hold them in.
Two Great StraightsBut I'm opting for the CASE today.

That Primble is a stunner !

The Primble seems to be smiling, Jack. By the way, the horehound candies are gluten-free and fat-free and, since they are "medicinal, guilt-free.
That’s the Christmas spirit!![]()
Lazy day in Colorado. Went with the kids to their church (very nice~ much bigger than ours back home, chock full of young families, which is heartening).
The weather is stunning ~ pushing 70 in the sun/cool in the shade.
I’m paying the price for pushing it on our hike the other day. The doc warned me about that too soon after surgery. Oh well, lazy day, taking turns holding the 4 month old.View attachment 1253075
And no tv! Surprisingly just fine without it.View attachment 1253054I call this 72 whittler in a bird house.
I went on a long hike after church today. Here are the knives I carried.
My TC Barlow was with me both at church and on the hike.

When I went over the rope bridge, I was sorely tempted to use my BladeForums Rope knife.

We drove 8 hours in torrential rain today and it's still raining!It’s supposed to stop sometime tomorrow morning. I got my new 2019 Forum knives in the mail yesterday but I could only manage a quick glance. They will be waiting on me when I get home. I’ve had this Lambsfoot Bigun in PD Stag in my pocket today!

Hope you heal up quickly.A total prosthetic hip replacement, on Wednesday, took a little bounce out of my step!
Thank you, Jack.Very nice John![]()
I like the way epoxy gives you more time to adjust the shield before it sets. Hate superglue. It can get brittle with age, and I have to wear latex gloves that I can slip out of when I glue my hand to the table.They will find and send you some shields, but then you have to put them in straight by yourself. They recommend superglue. Epoxy is probably better, but it's messier, and if you have fine motor challenges...
Predicted high of 55 here today! Down to 40 on Sunday.
I read somewhere that they were trying to calculate how much and at what rate Venice has sunk. They couldn't find written records going back very far, and someone had the brilliant idea of going to the museums to look at the water level depicted in the old paintings.I was in Venice in 1967, and we saw the waterlines from the previous year's flood, which I believe was the record until this year. Before we left they had put up those sawhorse boardwalks. It was kind of exciting to see such high water where it should have been dry, but kind of rough on the buildings and the residents.
I can't find my gondola shaped knife, so this will have to do.
