Rainy damp day here, would have been a good day to stay in bed and sleep.

Several years ago Rita's Aunt gave me a sad old butcher knife.  Had a pine handle on it held on with machine screws and nuts.

Marked Weck & Muller Soligen Germany the steel as expected seemed very good.  Was a half tang but length, just not full width.

Well I removed the old handle (scales seems the wrong word.) and it was a mess, the tang was very rusty and pitted and it got set aside for another day.  That day came recent, filled the pits with JB Weld and sanded it smooth so the epoxy didn't need to bridge a gap.

Dug in my wood stash and chose a piece of Old World walnut.  Inlet the tang in on side and epoxied it in place.  Trued everything up and put the other side in place.  Annealed brass rod for the rivets, sanded the wood after final shaping.  Used 2 stains and some of my tricks to really bring the grain out and then the many coats of hand rubbed linseed oil.

I know have a new camp butcher knife, my wife has kinda laid claim to my nice old Sheffield one because camp season and watermelon season over lap.

Couple years ago I had a message in the evening upset because she had to use the smaller butcher knife for a melon.

Evening all.

High was 87 today, and hardly a cloud in the sky.  It's cooled off a little now, down to 70.

Walked the dog in a different address than usual today.  It's been logged since the last time I was there, but hey, that's not a bad thing.

Depending on what source i use, it was either 88 or 90 today. 

Finally made the plunge and got new traction wear for my Jeep, (Liberty) will be mounted and balanced installed in the morning. I got a little over 90k off the current threads. They were 60k mile types.  The jeep turned 200k miles last month.  It has done everything i needed and been everywhere i needed to go.  I would not reccomend one, however this one has served me. 


Just finished evening feeding will lock up around 8pm

Evening all.

High here was 90, with a smattering of rain, sun, hail, thunder.  Also, at one point several thousand winged ants fell from the sky, and I still don't know why.

Took the dog out to the lake today, let her swim around for a few minutes, then we went and climbed up a mountain for a while.  We made it up to about 5000 feet, from the trailhead at 2500.

For dinner we had grilled chicken.

Burned some 12 gauge ammo as well.  Helped a friend pattern some new buckshot for home defense.  Rio #4 buckshot was impressive:  $2 for 5.  21 pellets at 1350fps.  Recoil was about the same as birdshot.

Gravity, they'll explain how lift has to be more than gravity in school.

Try something meaningful some time, try 10 ga #4 buck at 54 per load.  May still have a few rounds from when we had the feral dog problem at the farm.

Coffee and tea are hot.

'Tis 54 and rain. "Cooler. Showers and a chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 60s. South wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90 percent."

I keep my shotgun loaded with 12 pellet 00 and some 34 pellet #4.

Forecast for 90 again today, so far to 75 at 11:45.

I think I'll take the 22 out later and try to grab a bunny from the woods.
