A bit of a random selection for me today. Both past due for use.
Case 62032 CV jack, and F&F 21 Bull Buster...View attachment 1577700View attachment 1577701Mrs Fleschwund reminded me that we’re going to her parents today so she can help them pick colors for a little of their seemingly endless redecorating/remodeling. She’s an interior designer, so I guess if they did not call on their own daughter’s talents, that would be a bad sign.
Anyway, they’re wonderful folks, and we love them dearly, so any excuse to visit and have lunch will suffice.

Well, if I'd known I was going to have to spend some time re-planting a load of daffodil bulbs my neighbours' brat inexplicably dug up yesterday, I might have carried something different - and maybe added a cleaver!* :mad: ;) Kid is nearly a teenager, and intelligent, but going through a destructive phase. Seeing how his parents carry on, I have some sympathy, but he can stay out of my garden in future : grumpy: :thumbsup:

* Edit - I did have my Cold Steel Spetsnaz shovel though! :D :thumbsup:

I sold one of these stag senators to @euroken a week ago and instantly regretted it. Had to get another one. Stag isn’t near as nice as on the one I sold him. 😊 Carried it with the S&M trapper today.

That stag might not have a lot of gnarly character, but after you carry it a while, it should get a nice polished depth to it. :cool::thumbsup:

The garden is overrun with weeds, but it's a muddy mess from two weeks of rain, and it's expected to get up to almost 90 degrees today. I think I'll play indoors this afternoon.

Toting a big ol' Case:

It may have been awhile since you carried it, but it certainly looks like it’s gotten a lot of use in the past. It’s got “the look!” 😎👍

You need one of these signs, Jack. ;)

LOL! :D I generally don't mind the neighbours' kids coming to play in my garden, but I caught the same kid vandalising a tree last week, and another kid climbing up my drainpipe yesterday! Might be time to put something up ;) :thumbsup:

Yep, Jeff, that's what the osage shavings are from.:thumbsup: I've read that osage shaving should not be used as mulch because it is toxic for many plants. I scatter mine under the
ever expanding invasion of buckthorn growing along the border of my shop. The buckthorn just laughs at my efforts to control it.😄

Well, thanks much, Jack! Appreciate it.

Regarding the destructive brat next door, I think you should lie in wait and put that slingshot practice to good use.

Buckthorn is a nastty invasive. If I’m not mistaken, some goofballs imported it from Europe on purpose!
Many state conservation deoartments have buckthorn eradication programs.
I had a small puncture on my wrist from a buckthorn spine which sent me to the emergency room. I ignored it as a mere fleshwound, but an hour later, my wrist had swollen to the size of a softball. They say the sap contains a toxin...

I have since just about completely eradicated it from my property, but have to pull seedlings every year.
