Day 6

I got a wild hair to do some working with leather and made a sheath for my 9. I already see ways to improve it, but it works well as an unobtrusive carry if I am wearing a belt to hang it on.   [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]    [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]

Today’s carry as I head out the door. Still haven’t had coffee yet. Ugh.

    I figured my interaction with the Opinel Challenge was at an end.  Except for reading the posts and looking at the pix.  Wrong. 
     In my beaten and dented mailbox today was a pretty white padded package.  Somehow friends, FolderBeholder had figured out a way to get her gift sent by mail instead of having a delivery truck stuck in my driveway.  A very light package actually. 
     How did she do it?  I suspect magic, but women do have their ways.  Here it is.
  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  
     Don't it pretty?  It even smells nice out of the package.  Sort of woodsy.  I have been lucky this week.  First a very minor windfall.  Then yesterday, I escaped without a scratch from a near head-on collision with a very reckless driver.  I wound up stopped off the road but was able to pull away.  Driver went off without stopping to see about damage.  Thanks again.  I like the folder.  Best wishes.

That's awesome Gary.  I had a feeling Lisa wasn't going to take a "no thank you" for an answer to her very generous offer.  I really hope you enjoy that No 8. :cheers:

The DIY is on my list.  I see grey and yellow on the website now but I believe I've seen it in blue on the auction site and I think that is the one I'd like to get if I can find one.

The grey can appear BLUE in certain lighting. 😉

Barry would be one who would know if ever blue was an option.    But, I am guessing grey is what you saw.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Please describe your FRENCH beverage and its taste qualities. Having been deprived of food the past couple days, I am starving for food describing words🤪

Congratulations, and I thought you were going to be really mad if my package was instructed for box placement! 👍.  FoBe is an amazing member!!! Stay on her good side🌹

Day 6

Morning involved with alien probe procedure 😵‍💫

Home now, and waiting for anesthetic to flush from my system.  Did enjoy bowl of soup but was instructed to hold off of the greasy cheese burger till tomorrow and no driving today at AWL.  (2  polyps., were removed)

My No7 removed my wrist bands after lunch, and first nap…

I consented to this procedure to determine I was in the clear from any new surprises as my previous cancer has tested not present two consecutive times in a year😜

So now I will invest in renewing my passport for 10 more years and plan my next adventures.  :salute: :cheers:

   Good to hear you finished with your tests, Gordon.  I sent you a little message already.  As for staying on Folder Beholder's good side, I try to stay on everybody's good side.  I'm not trolling for freebies.  I don't give anybody grief.  I didn't join for that sort of thing.  Everybody here is nice to me.  I try to have some fun and enjoy myself.  If anybody has a bad day or feels put down by anything I have written, then I have FAILED for that day.
    Get mad?  So far nobody has said or done anything that would make me mad.  Certainly not you.  I'm not very savvy on Amazon and shipping and box delivery.  I never order anything.  I didn't know that Amazon had trucks.  I know Amazon only as a name. 
    I just can't get anything unless it comes in the mail.  I hope you can rest up after your ordeal and get back to normal.  Best wishes as always.  Gary

Thank you😉

Recovery ☺️.   Well underway.  No pain, was just food deprivation and clear liquid diet.

Full speed ahead, responsibly 😎

Glad you're doing well LC.

Day 6

I've been using my No 8 w/ picnic kit exclusively for lunches at work this month (I briefly considered doing the same for food at home, but decided I wasn't quite that dedicated). Ate one of my "backup" lunch kits today, since I didn't have anything I wanted to take from home. Got this weird forced perspectiveish shot.
