Snarking in a Becker Wonderland

1906 is the skinny all-in-one, right?

I didn't think it was skinny? This one: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/book-camping-woodcraft-horace-kephart-8685528

yup - that's the original, 320 page volume
the 1917 2-volume set expanded on the info in that one and almost tripled the page count, with about 880 pages.

It will definitely be a good read!

Heads up fellas, been checking the Bay for a while now and just noticed something I had been looking for.

I was looking for full size Becker scales in walnut to match the Kephart. There are finally some listed.

If your interested search for “handles becker walnut”.

You just listen to the ole pork chop express, and take his advice on a snarkin' stormy night alright? When some wild eyed, eight foot tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against a bar room wall, he looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if you've paid your dues. Well you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and you remember what ole Jack Burton always says at a time like that, "'Have ya paid your dues Jack?'". "Yes sir, the check is in the mail."

Speaking of reading, the wife and I did a little antiquing this evening. Looked for the 1906 Kephart edition, but it was a no go. I will find one though.

Just got back from tiquing again. No 1906 version, but did score a Weber grilling book for $4, originally $30.

Oh that's a shame. It's pretty cool.

Managed to peek through the clouds right at the peak. Mildly orange over here, but pretty cool.

it clouded up here around 3PM yesterday - and then cleared off around 3AM........
so I missed the eclipse but got to see the full moon afterwards.
clouds moved back in shortly after sunrise.
mother nature is such a tease.

Yea.... I forgot all about it last night.

How are you all doing lately guys? Been a while since I came by, but here's a little update.
First of all : I really need a BK62 soon!
Second, life's been super busy. Trying to combine full-time working with getting another masters degree at uni. Exams coming up, we'll see.
Not a lot of time left to go out digging but I try to put up some snapshots on instagram now and then.
I was able to hunt for fossils on a very temporary construction site during September/October though and it's been quite good. Here's a few pics, glad I saved these puppies form the concrete.

Total haul, boxed:

First time I went there:

The ol' whiskey and sambuca have definitely kicked in...

Thanks fellas. Hope y'all are doing fine as well.

Vik, in one of the more recent threads I saw your mitts again on a Becker handle.
My God man. How do you peel an orange without making orange juice

Woah, G-Shark! I'm glad you got to that site a few millennia late or you would have been lunch!
