Me too! I really enjoyed seeing Mr B in WI. I'm from N. IL and haven't seen snow since I moved south 19 months ago.

Mr. Brownstone was seeming a bit dull, so we had a sharpmaker session this morning.
Well, he liked this very much. So much, in fact, that he got all chatty and started talking about his favorite NFL team.
Then, the begging started and I do tend to over-indulge knives, so I agreed to a road trip. First we needed supplies.
I thought we'd check on the water, which is still a bit icy, but you can tell that spring is getting close!!!

A little bit of driving and then we arrived at the frozen tundra.
We didn't take the tour, but Mr. Brownstone did make some new friends. First he met Curly Lambeau. You have to look close.
Then, he met his idol. No player sightings though.He's at the base of the second picture.

Sweet!
The only time I've seen snow and ice this winter was when I went up to Flagstaff for a few days.
My old plum tree is in full, white blossoms. I do not miss cold weather!

Cardboard day!!! The delica continues to surprise me. I've always resisted picking one up as I'm not a huge back-lock or FRN guy. I think part of what makes the delica awesome is the liners, which somehow make it feel way more durable than just FRN by itself. It's ergos really are great, even for my XL hands.
It zipped through the cardboard, no problem.
A bit sticky afterwards, but still shiny sharp from our last sharpmaker session. I'll try to get in another update in a few days and MMAR was nice enough to let Mr. Brownstone stay with me until the Saturday after next (the 25th) so that we can have another road trip together. Badger Knife Show!!!!

Don't know if any of you other midwesterners will be there. I don't know most of the exhibitors, but I do plan on stopping by Les Voorhies.

Off to Badger Knife Show!!! It was quite early when we left, but Mr. Brownstone was excited for the trip.
We've arrived!!! Only a few hours later. He's at the bottom right of the sign.
Mr. Brownstone did see some familiar faces there. They chatted for a bit.
He also decided he was a much better cutting machine than his (slightly) larger new friend.
He also thought that "fully auto" might not be the best for this particularly sized design.
Finally, like a kid at the circus, he pestered me into buying him a souvenir. I agreed, and will send it along to meet his next host. Cheers from the Shire!!!!

Hi all,
I'm somewhat new to the Spyderco family (better late than never, right?). I came across this thread and read every post this AM with my morning coffee.
It seems Mr Brownstone never made it back to the mother ship in Golden? I can help carpool him there, as I live and work only a little ways from Spydies HQ. Can I be added to the list for a short stopover?
He'd be in good company, and get to hang out with my Gayle Bradley and GB2, and my Para 2. Plus a hand full of fixers from various makers. We are a respectable, no drugs, no smoking, no cussing or other frowned upon behavior kind of family. Clean record, one dog one kid, good neighborhood and top rated schools. We can provide reference and pass a background check. Mr B would be well cared for here.
