Approximately thirty years ago I was traveling from Colorado back to Missouri. Driving across southern Kansas the wheat harvest was going on. It was the first time I had seen staggard multiple combines at work, which I thought was pretty cool. Lots of people moving. Driving up and down the road. Most of them waving at a stranger driving a Dodge Omni GLH with Missouri tags and Bridgestone bicycle on the roof.

At a small town motel, I discovered they were Canadians from Saskatchewan. One explained that they started harvesting in Texas and followed the wheat north. By the time they got back home, their wheat was ready for harvest. I had no idea it was done that way. I don't know if that is still the practice, but it was interesting, folks were very friendly and I had a great time and learned new stuff.

When people, ok Missourians :rolleyes:, say its boring driving across Kansas, I tell them that's not true, they're just not doing it right :)

Nice looking oak, Mitch!!👍
Here is an old "billboard" cane, given out after WWII; advertising meds!! It is ash, and I restored and refinished it!! It must have belonged to a tall guy, because I had to cut 2" off it to use it!! - I'm only 5'6"!!!BB 1.jpgBB 2.jpgBB 3.jpg

I use my Waynorth lamb to slice tomatoes for my lunch every day. The last couple of days I have been leaving the tomato juice on the blade for a few extra minutes. It is developing some interesting patina.

I’ve noticed that tomatoes give interesting dark spots like that when you leave it for a bit, but they’re also great at resetting and evening out patina too if you wash the blade quickly. If you get an uneven or undesirable patina you can quickly slice up a tomato, rinse the blade, and then it should be an even, uniform grey at that point. At least in my experience
 
Thanks buddy :) :thumbsup:

Very cool piece of history Charlie.
Very nice indeed.
A fine example my friend :) :thumbsup:

Berry really is spectacular! :cool: :thumbsup:

Very nice :cool: How many canes do you own Mitch? :thumbsup:

Yeah, me too, but it's a bit too late! :D :thumbsup:
Jack probably near 30, I've been give some a few that aren't practical. I started collecting them years ago before I used them regularly. I guess it was a self fulfilling prophecy .
If the wife asks a couple 😄

I did a double take when I saw the post from echoscout echoscout about wheat being harvested. I am in Saskatchewan and the wheat was still short green leaves last week when I was out in the country.

I kind of like the uneven patina myself. But, good tip!:thumbsup:
