Then shot a little pool and then off to another Dr appointment with a different doctor than yesterday. No cell signal in the exam room and she was running late. I was real close to making a break for it when she finally showed up. Carried the Victorinox Cadet on this not-so-adventurous adventure

Thanks, Steve.Pa-Pa Mr. Sir Nessmuk would approve. A "Sturdy" pocketknife, for sure. (And good looking, to boot.)![]()
Late wishes on your happy anniversary my friend. Enjoyed the story, you lucky dog, you.![]()
44 years ago was a Saturday. That's the day I married a fine young woman. I chose well. We rented a banquet hall, or was it her Dad who paid for it? Can't remember.
This was before the unfortunate demise of live wedding bands in favor of deejays. We won a free cake and photo package at a "wedding show" I'd been dragged to, so we had extra $ to hire a good band.
So we hired a really good jazz wedding band.
The first time we met, I was playing fiddle tunes on my guitar on the front porch swing of our rented house just off campus in Urbana Illinois. She and her friend Ruth were walking by, and stopped, then came up to talk. Never forgot that she commented that I was not playing in time with the creaking of the swing.
To this day, she is my sounding board on my playing abilities, such that they are, and has been there every time I have played for an audience ~ 30 years +/- . It's usually, but not always a good review, but I always listen to her after gig comments.
It's a good thing that she appreciates knives and guitars, or she might not have worked out.

So you admit to shooting over bait?Saw a bunch of town deer enjoying a free supper.

Just observing. I quit hunting several years ago. I'm pretty sure these are just pets. I've seen some large bucks in this group over the years.Those Dia-Sharps are excellent. Did you buy all 3 grades?

OPSEC, my friend!
We wish her luck.![]()
Beautiful spring day. I get the pleasure of watching my daughter play a couple of matches in a Special Olympics Bocce Ball Tournament. She's not an "athlete" by any means, being built for comfort-not for speed, but if there's no more than three in her bracket, she might get another bronze medal.![]()
Jeff, I hope she does well, and finds great joy with her peers.🎖🎖![]()
