The OFG's Pocket Knife

Speaking of bird & trout knifes, I carry an A.G. Russell Woodswalker in one of my fishing bags. It's a cheap(ish) little Japanese job that comes in as dull as a Lutheran priest, but takes and holds a sharp edge with a little work. The sheath qualifies it as a pocket knife as it easily fits in a ...

The OFG's Pocket Knife

Just bought a folding Canadian boat knife with rosewood handles from D.M Russell-Grohmann. It's a thing of frigging beauty and still very practical. This is my gentleman's knife. That knife is sort of similar to their bird and trout knife. I don't own one but I've always loved the ergonomic shape. ...

Election Thread II: Kamala vs. Trump

+JMJ+ You've lost the right to yell at my man Wos, buddy. This thing is an echo chamber! :lol: :lol: "My" threads aren't echo chambers. Del chimes in regularly to Delsplain-away Church teaching and substitute a Trump-safe simulacrum. Just sayin'. :confusion-shrug: And to mention that Demo...

Election Thread II: Kamala vs. Trump

You've lost the right to yell at my man Wos, buddy. This thing is an echo chamber! :lol: :lol: I've had the same thought. At least Del comments - and comments, and comments, and comments - when he drops the links and snippets. Wos just drops them and walks away without much, if any, comment. Fred 1...

A poltergeist named Stinky

The dead thing will stop being dead, soon enough. Um, wut? Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and p...

Rita/Us

Been struggling with Mrs FredS the last few days. A lot of house guests and travels and work issues and our anniversary and it's all boiled over so I was feeling sorry for myself.

Then I remembered Rita and Jim.

Praying for you guys Jim.

Guns. That's what's happening.

Daughter #2, describing the Turkish shooter in the Olympics, in comparison to his competitors - "He looked like you. Like you just walked in off the streets and decided to enter the competition." In his 5th trip to the Olympics, 51 year old Yusuf Dikec won silver in the 10m air pistol mixe...

Arkansas River in CO

That's high and off color for sure. "Chocolate Milk", we call it. My brothers and I own little bit of land in that same county about 12 miles south of the Ark. There's some yuge browns in there.
