I was given a US fighting knife from my late father when I was a kid. He was in the navy, a gunner on the twins. He said he swapped this with a US serviceman for something Aussie. I took it everywhere fishing, hunting, trapping, ferreting and gave it an absolute hiding. It looked much better than this originally but I used it for everything and that's better memories than having it stuck in a cupboard doing nothing. Lots of great memories in that wearing out process. 😁

Nice. Great provenance. And they fetch a fair dollar today still!
I've a Case Quartermaster type knife with a history. It looks suitable for opening large crates, or cleaving things.
It changed hands during the same war.
And Case (a member of Case knives family) became involved with Robeson.

[The time during and after WWII saw Robeson once again among the top tier of cutlery manufacturers, thanks mostly to the tireless efforts of Emerson Case. They had several contracts during WWII to produce the M-3 Commando or Trench knives for the United States Army. They produced machetes, and Mark II "Ka-Bar" type knives for the United States Navy and The Marine Corps, as well as the Mark I knives, and so called "Shark" knives for the Navy. They produced both a three and four blade verson of their 214 pattern scout/utility knives with bone handles for the Army and also a two blade easy open bone handled jack knife. They made wood handled TL-29 electrician's knives for the Army Signal Corps. The Robeson Cutlery Company consistently earned the highest ratings for their defense contract work during World War II.]

Now we all know the burden falls squarely on our backs.

Make us feel quilts for using plastic straws, and those hideous plastic forks and spoons.

Make us sort our garbage, separate the plastics, and other things so it can be dumped in the same landfill.

Oh we feel so good by listening to all the virtue signaling and complying to the 1% that make us feel guilty for actually breathing their air.

Time to wake up world.

Here's another one that needs to be outed.

Yeah but Swift buys those “carbon offsets” from Al Gore.🙄 It’s all okay because 5,000 trees were planted in the Sahara desert to make up for her travels.😝

My sky is so much clearer this morning.
$162.49 taxes or 22.54% on my fuel this morning. 🤬
Yes we pay a tax on a tax.

Good morning everybody

Being a woman didn't make it for me I could trade it off at a round robin. (blanket on the ground , put what you'd trade on it and those around can put offerings on the blanket and you go from there.)

A fella nom de guerre broken feather wanted it off blanket but as a friend was running the blanket I suggested we trade on the blanket so not to offend.
( I traded it off due to ink used by someone else to pattern it.)

Some examples.

Good morning everybody

Do you feed them ?

(The wild turkeys)

For a long time, no, we didn't. They just liked the yard, I guess. But after a while they did seem to like hanging out at the bird feeders, and they would browse the area where we throw corn for the deer, so we started throwing a bit of corn and scratch grains out for them.

They have only recently gotten used to us to the point where they don't vanish into the woods when we come outside. This morning I saw them out back, and took them a bowl of corn. They backed off but didn't run, and one brave hen came up to investigate. Once she picked up a piece of corn and began clucking about it, the rest of the flock ran back as fast as they could and started happily pecking and clucking around me. It was pretty surreal. It prompted me to get a GoPro this afternoon, so maybe I can catch that reaction on video one of these times.

Nice bit of history on them. I have a Case bone handle Stockman knife, good old fashioned style easy to sharpen. I like that they're not churned out like hotdogs.

I can't stomach her and her music.
"Oh Taylor Swift took time out from her busy schedule to randomly visit some children, isn't she lovely and kind"
Yeah and just by coincidence she had a full blown camera crew and two TV crews there to film it along with her entourage of body guards and minders.
🤮

Hi. Does constant heavy snow sitting on cars ever cause any damage?
