The Break Room / Re: What should I do and see in San Francisco?

Does anyone have any input on what Yosemite would be like in May?  Specifically Mariposa Grove area, and on the various trails in the area. 

We are reading from the Park Service that there is a possibility of snow closing roads throughout May.  As Canadians, we are used to being snowed in, but I really don't want to go all the way to California for pretty much exactly what we get at home.

Here's my modest wee group.  The pruner I've owned since I was an apprentice and I was given it by one of my supervisors as a lagging cutting knife.

Nice pen knives!  😎

Here are mine.

Nice flock 🐑

Thanks all, hopefully going to a boot sale tomorrow.
Fingers crossed something will turn up. If not I would have got some exercise at the very least.

Couple black beauties!   

That Churchill is sweet.  I’m a sucker for equal end patterns.

Here’s mine for today…

Love the amber bone!     I've got a 26 with that bone on it.

Have a GREAT TIME!

The Sky is always Bluer at sea and the nights as black as coal at night.

Stay dry and don’t play with the ORCAs😉

I love that knife, Steve!     I assume the closed blade is a sheepsfoot?  If so, I need to find one.

Thanks Rich, yes a sheepsfoot.

Just started test driving it this afternoon.  I'm impressed that the magnet can hold this much weight.  My one concern right now is that there doesn't seem to be a way to replace the battery once it quits taking a charge.  This, however, did not occur to me until I had it in my grubby hands.

You just unscrew it, it takes a 10180 like basically all other keychain lights this size so you can easily swap it out if it conks out on you down the road.
