Kept the Wenger next to my recliner for a couple of days before I could wear pants.

I received a cool new titanium ball and socket joint in a hip last Tuesday. Put on jeans Friday and Saturday to sit on garden benches and shoot well water trying to simulate a soaking rain.
Blessed to be able to leave the walker at home and sporting a home made cane, make it to church yesterday. It was our new Pastor's first service with us, and did not want to miss it. And picked up a fat t-bone for Vik to grill for the three of us.
She did it to perfection, and I did not mock her for having to research grilling a t-bone on the internet.
First day back behind the wheel today. Made sure I quit the two narcotics they sent me home with so I could start driving.

Glad all went well Jeff. 👍🏻 I have not regretted getting mine done.
My wife kept reminding me " one day at a time". A month and a half later I was back on the golf course.
I still do the therapy exercises to keep my leg strength.
 
Behold, the Boker Barlow. For when you want to open a box and look like you could also whittle a canoe. This little masterpiece easily may have happened when a lumberjack of small stature but great renown and a Victorian clockmaker collaborated on a pocket knife. The blade, made from O1 tool steel is so tough it probably sharpens itself out of boredom. Meanwhile, the copper bolster screams, “I may cut twine, but I also appreciate fine whiskey and leather-bound books.”

And let’s not overlook the covers, burlap micarta, which sounds like something you’d find at an urban farmer’s market. Or if someone asked, “What if we made a knife handle out of coffee sacks and unfiltered ruggedness?” The copper bolsters should age with an interesting patina, just nature’s way of saying, “Nice knife, bro.”

This folks, isn’t just a pocket knife; it’s a small heirloom in training. Just add several decades and questionable decisions. Your grandson … or granddaughter, not that there’s anything wrong with that … will Thank You.

Just a Dog Head Coppersmith Pinch Lockback in Rootbeer bone, produced by Canal Street Cutlery for KA-BAR
And some fashion accessories belonging to the best pet and companion pure bred Colby American Pit Bull Terrier that ever looked through a collar
Pure Colby bloodline top and bottom, all the way back in his pedigree. No outs or crosses. Owning Mason is like owning a bit of history
He's dual registered UKC and ADBA but I never had any intention of breeding him, nor has he ever been bred. I'm not a breeder
Mason will be 14yrs old on the 18th of this September

Everything has a story but no story along with this post. Well, nothing more than mentioned above HA
I spent a great deal of time crafting a story the last few hours and posted it here this morning ...
The Edge of Steel: A Quiet Encounter That Might Have Been (Trevor Ablett & Graham Clayton) ... thanks for looking :cool:

You’re right those dominoes are quite old and make great “music” on the table!

As for the Douk Douk in the picture, it’s actually the current model, I just use it a lot and modded the blade for fun.

Now here’s a quite old and rare one…A new old stock model from 1932. Looking good for 90+ years! Can you spot the differences? 😁

Ninety years!!! Superb :cool: Don't know a lot about Douk-Douks...yours has brass bail whereas it's steel now ? It also has the Yatagan type bladeas as usual? Have seen a DD with an interesting Sheepfoot type blade too.

I'll be sticking with the 112 on my hip for awhile, but will be changing pocket knives weekly as usual.
For this week I went with my favorite Case 08.
