Day 21 (Late)

Early to bed and up early this morning for a different work schedule. Here's a whistle on top of a whistle to help me wake up.

And what a whistle!  I just came off a different schedule so I understand completely.

 :iagree: nice one Barry!

Day 22

These Opinels continue to impress. Last night I did some comparisons between SAK, Moore maker, Case, and Opinels. The Opi has a way of feeling comfortable and effortless when carving that other knives do not have.  Afterwards my trusty No 7 helped prep dinner.

Walking in the park


Wanted to take the picture but the old one was fed up with photoshooting and left the area before I finished :)

@Andy, great pic of the pups. Looks like they growing iimpatient  and want to get moving!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 22

Returned the Garden knife to the neck sheath, after replacing the handle lanyard that was removed while reshaping the inside channel to attempt to lower the blade for the picnic utensils.

The No8 Garden and the No7 trade off neck carry duties.  :tu:

Crappy raining day here in southeast GA. Can't seem to get enough sleep lately and kinda feel like a zombie. Carrying these guys with me today.

Thanks guys!
The older one is actually already 12 years old so he is stubborn and it is sometimes difficult to make him do something :)

Another cold front coming through.  Maybe you've been running your furnace?  No kidding, I think you should have a carbon monoxide detector in your home because groggy and nauseous and unable to think clearly are symptoms of CO poisoning.  Meanwhile, go outside and see if fresh air makes any difference.
