Purple! Because Ice cream has no bones!

The absurdity level could be off the charts that many days from now. Hopefully it's something big!

Not a clue. My 55th birthday is when I'll be close to the 30 year mark with the company and I'll be in a position to move out of Illinois and start something new. All I know is, I'm done with the industry I'm in. I might look at getting a job at a factory and ride out the following ten years assembling widgets.
 
No idea if/when I can retire. Will be 50 in 6 months, and "official" retirement age is 67 for me, but really hope I can do it earlier.
 
I don't usually go with the wild stuff but here's some recent scales and blocks that I've picked up off of Instagram recently from a few different suppliers. (Phoenix Knife Handles, Fleming Wood Supply, and King & Queen Woods)

Here's the booty that I sent off to have stabilized (K&G) nothing fancy but some really nice grain.

For scale, they're sitting on 5" wide boards.

Thanks John, that was buried in the wood pile looked like rotten garbage. It was amazing to see what was inside.
