Will be very happy to see 5pm today and say goodbye to this past week! Nothing terrible, just a bit of a stressful work week. Looking forward to this weekend like you wouldn't believe. One more week until vacation :)

Going with a Lambsfoot today, paired with a bigfish64 bigfish64 influenced pick. Have a great weekend all!

@5K Qs
Just waiting for your “catch-up” post buddy…
So after all the suds and umpire approved pics at Wrigley Field, after the win and fog rolling into the park like we were in “Field of Dreams”, we all go to a back room type bar just around the corner. A long hallway leading to this awesome live jazz and blues band playin’ their behinds off, as we sit down for more drinks. The band playing was a who’s who of studio players just jammin’ away into the nite.
A couple of hours in and we get a phone call from our limo driver, we had rented one for the evening compliments of one of our regional managers, yet our party hadn’t really been driven around at all. The others had this pleasure for the earlier part of the evening as we had split after dinner for the game, and the driver was wondering if we wanted a nite cruise with drinks, through the streets and before he parked for the nite. I was asked and jumped at the chance as I wanted more of Chicago and lurve the nite life anywhere on this planet basically. You see, my request was granted for our one and only real destination of the drive… Soldier Field!!
As we’re driving, our host mentioning that the stadium’s closed for the season and me repeating “I don’t care, take me there!” He laughingly obliged and we arrived shortly thereafter. I wanted a piece of the stadium’s walls, a rock just anything to bring back home. I start climbing the wall, beside one of the gates, wearing Italian shoes and French pants that cost a small fortune as everyone’s laughing their heads off and cheering me on. As I’m reaching for a loose piece, I hear behind me a stern accent I know well… “what’cha doin’ up there laddy?” Holding on for what seemed dear life, even though I was barely 15ft high off the ground, I answer… “my apologies officer I’m from Toronto and this to me is one of the shrines of sports, and I just have to have a piece of these walls” The officer and his partner begin laughing. You can imagine this scene… a stretch limo with a bunch of overly happy passengers in the middle of the nite with all doors flung open and I like a cat climbing the walls of Soldier Field…. “Ya know laddy, you could’ve just picked one of thecrumbled rocks off the ground!” as he stretches his arm with one in hand. Everyone’s howlin’ with giggles as I slowly come back down with my wall rock in hand. “Thanks officer, I may as well take the one I picked after all that effort if that’s ok?” The senior officer replies… “Absolutely, now common’ down here carefully before we all end up at a hospital!”
I made it down without a scuff or a scratch on my attire, rock in hand and smiling ear to ear.
Of course a few years later, the Cubs became champs as my Pop was lying in bed and in poor health, prayer’s answered as I wanted a peaceful exit for him and a Championship for the “loveable losers”
What a time in my kinda’ town as Sinatra had sang famously long ago. It really did feel like home Gary!!
Now on to today’s carry, a Robeson of course…

You bet Todd, I did miss a part of the game experience…
when I ran for those famous Wrigley hotdogs to combat the everflowing onslaught of suds, the kind lady and man behind the counter said they were closed! I pleaded that being from the Canadian north, I just had to have a batch for us, it just had to happen!!
She looks over at the fellow who had started cleaning up with a smile and says to me…
“ so what do you want on ‘em?” Cleverly I reply “I want mustard and onions only! I ain’t from New York mam!! No ketchup for me!!!” She lets out a holler “Virgil, get this fine man a 1/2 dozen dogs!! He sure knows how to eat !”
That covers most of what I recall lol 😂

Well, being from the St. Louis area Gus, I’m of course a Cardinal fan, and I still enjoyed your story! 😂😂😂
The Cards/Cubs or Cubs/Cards rivalry is kind of cool because it’s almost entirely good natured ribbing and respect for one another, like it should be. Now the Blues/Hawks rivalry, especially in the 80s and 90s is a whole other story!🙄😂

Kabar Jack and Wenger HandymanView attachment 1601033I wanted the scissors on the SAK for the delicate root and top pruning of these young leeks~View attachment 1601035which get set in holes 6 or 7 inches deep, which helps get that white blanched stalk. You don’t even fill in the holes, they will fill nsturally. Like this ~View attachment 1601036and by late September, they should look like these, which I set out in May~View attachment 1601038These still have some growing to do, but they’re getting there. Soup anyone?

Continuing to edc my little Tobacco Road congress, this time during a picnic with the family at our city’s largest Viking site, the tumulus Anundshög. Fixed my sons kite with it, so it was even used!

Folkvid raised all these stones after Heden, Anund’s brother. Vred carved the runes.

The largest ship setting at the site.

In summary it’s been a nice summer’s day in the outskirts of my hometown Västerås. The main burial site is visible in the background. According to legend Viking chieftains or even kings are buried here.

Awesome views 315, love that Bigfoot SAK, was that the only Bigfoot you saw on your drive? 😄

Unfortunately it was, but we did see several black tails and some mountain goats. While Mt. Rainier is usually the star if the show, it’s amazing how many people I talk to say they never see animals up there.

Looks good, Jack. Agree on the no mayo decision, but might use some ketchup or Louisiana Hot Sauce.
But listen... come for a visit over by here, and I’ll put some meat in there! Then, we’ll go 45 minutes north and let Harry @Old Engineer cook some brats for you.

Ketchup or Hot Sauce is good my friend :) That sounds fantastic, I'll bring some Henderson's Relish with me ;) :D :thumbsup:

I'd really like to visit this place some day! :D :) :thumbsup:

Beautiful knives, Paul! Is the little jack by any chance a contract version of their 272?
Tell that wabbit to eat all that quack grass he wants, but stay out of your garden.



That's a very handy pairing Jeff :) :thumbsup:

Maybe Bigfoot has eaten them or at least scared them all away!😂😂😂

I sure wish I could send some of our rain to Sacto and Modoc Ed. We were some where around 15 inches ahead of normal before last night/this morning.
2318PU (in the rain :rolleyes: ) for Black Friday.

Couldn’t agree more Mike, I think I’m a couple hundred miles straight east of you and we have had plenty of rain also.

An old-old pen, maybe 20's or 30's...I like the cool green pattern...marked only U.S.A...sharp as a scalpel both blades...looks to have had a bail at one time...Dad gave it to me probably 20 years ago, he got it in at a 2nd hand store he owned...he usually had a Schrade trapper of sorts in his pocket, if not, he would have a stockman. He only carried one at a time until they were worn out or lost, then he would acquire another good one and start over...lasting usually a few years....
Then there's my trusty Case 3318... have a nice weekend people!
