One of my favorite hymns contains the lines:
The morning light,
The lily white
Declare their Maker's praise. :cool:;)

I heard that in my head when I read it. :):thumbsup:
 
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the legendary rosemary bush or the wild sago palm are going to recover from last month's big freeze. :( I can't be too sad, since the plumbing survived! :thumbsup:

@Markesharp , thanks. The steel is etched A2. Tony loved using it, and yes, it cuts!

I've got to add my comment on this one. Just fabulous! I'd never carry another knife!

Well, I was stuck at the fork in the road - no, not the road to the Wagon Wheel Cafe but the road of choices so, I'm going to carry both of these Yellow Composite CV Case single blade knives today. I've been sitting here saying; Sowbelly, Sod Buster Jr., Sowbely, Sod Buster Jr., Sowbelly, Sod Buster Jr. to myself and couldn't stand it anymore so in the pockets they both go. Interestingly, both have the Case Stonewashed Blade finish. Sorta like a patina from the factory.

Thanks Rick! My search for the perfect fixed blade for daily carry arose out of a question I had once while considering our hobby: what would I carry everyday if there were no restrictions on choice? I decided a fixed blade would be the best choice for a variety of reasons, on a belt sheath.There are restrictions of course, legality and work rules for example. Which ultimately lead to a search for something pocket sized. I love the City Knife but wouldn’t say it is perfect, however it is very close :) (for me anyway). The search continues.

Hope everyone is having a fine weekend.

When I read about your first calculator, I thought, "Hey! I bought a TI scientific calculator in the summer of 1974, too!" But that must be a false memory, because a TI with the features and cost I remember apparently wasn't available until later. Mine was an SR-51-II that appealed to me because it had numerous statistical functions, and I've now decided I got it in the summer of 1977.

My father in law had the 1st HP pocket scientific, the HP-35, he let me try it out and I was sold, although I had to get used to the RPN it used. I think the HPs were selling for around 400, which was too rich for my blood. I bought the TI SR-50 for 150 or so, and I still had to think about how bad I wanted one.
I was in the BSEE program at Syracuse U. (thanks to the GI Bill) at the time and it really came in handy, although I had a few professors that would only allow us to use slide rules on tests.:rolleyes:
I used that thing for years and years.
 
Peanut-like knife this week is a Case chestnut jigged CV Swayback Jack (thanks, Paul). I know it's not very peanut-like, but it's semi-small, and I get to carry it more often if I classify as I do. ;)
