Day 14

Changing the oil in the bike, and I needed a little help to get the crush washer off the drain plug.

 Looks like the Grohman has made the leap (although a small one) from being an overprotected cutter  :ahhh

I've just watched them again, it's better than I remember, really makes you appreciate the knives and the company... and the sentiment behind them more. Also, I love Patty!  :dd:

It's only 0820 and I'm already two pages behind!     :ahhh      :rofl:



Day 14: This Mini Trapper has rode in my uniform shirt pocket for awhile now.  My family got it for me a few years ago.  I believe it's still in the Case catalog.

Good one to start day 14 with Barry.    :like:


Day 14

GEC#61 with a Artisan coutelier maurice dubost Opinel-style knife. 


I've read that earlier offering from GEC tends to have stronger pull, but sure am glad to find this one has the pull that I like, just a tad bit stronger than a SAK.  I got the Artisan Coutelier knife from evil bay, but my googlefu couldn't find more details for me.  I think Opinel does have collaboration with different makers/organization over the years, and this one maybe the one of those collab.  Most of the Opinel I owned usually have very stiff joint, but this one is super smooth.

The 61 is great!    :like:



Day 14.

Snack time!

(Image removed from quote.)

Cider, homemade jerky and spicy crinkle cut crisps. What's not to like?  :D

Vintage Fuzz Day 14

Best thing about bolognese, and chilli for that matter, is that you can have a bolognese sandwich the day after with (some of) the leftovers!  :tu: Please excuse the lack of finesse, but I am rushing a bit at the moment... no excuse, I know...  :facepalm:

Glen, do you prefer them green? Or is that you are too impatient for them to ripen further?   :rofl:
