Re: What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?

It's excellent to post alternatives and the reasons why certain apps are better than others. The sites are targeting certain people. So far Pandora and Spotify Premium sound excellent to me for walks and yard work. One of these days I might get back into serious listening using a portable system wit...

If I were just 18 to 25, I'd run rather than deal with these people. At 63 that is no longer an option. I suppose things like in this video could happen anywhere bu...

Re: Spyderco 2024 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Shaman CTS-XHP Satin Blade Black Micarta C229MXHPP BladeHQ (USA) exclusive drop should be a beauty when it is released.

I wish that I could snag one. Maybe on the secondary market when I have the Benjamin's.

Re: Street Bowie sheath dulls edge.

The Spyderco Forums are excellent...and I apologize if any of my prior responses came off harsh. I forget we are not sitting around a campfire having a beer shooting the breeze, and I read what I say many months later and wish I had taken a year of Emily Post's "Friendly Communications and Happ...

Re: What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?

Thank you!!!! I'm whining....Tidal is $13/month. I'll eventually try it, but not immediately. Right now every cent goes to knives and health supplements. It probably has the best offering, and highest quality music so it is good to have it installed and I will use it. Spotify and iHeart Radio are gr...

Re: My on going salt steel comparison journal

Back in the late 70's to early 80's I raced 16ft Hobie cats on Lake Michigan. I was in the water every day all Summer for a couple of years but I was not a diver. Years later I started looking at knives and multitools and thought to myself how lucky I was not to die in a boating accident, because wh...

Cool! A shillelagh looks and sounds really cool. Mine is just a standard rustic hickory walking stick from Brazos Walking Sticks. I also have a 53" twisted pattern hickory walking stick from them, but I like the plain rustic one better, and it's easier to maneuver quickly without the twisted p...

What Cell Phone Music or Radio App Do You Really Like?

I'm going to be out for 5 mile walks or doing yard work and wondered what cell phone app or designated player everyone is using for music or listening to radio shows streaming over the Internet these days. It can be an app that plays files on the cell phone, or online, or an AM/FM cell phone app. Th...

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

Take care of yourself out there people! I do not believe in giving up or giving in. The current day is my immediate struggle, and I'll push out my life as far as I can. 100 OR BUST! I think that I am going to ask my doctors for Ozempic or Wegovy next month when I see them. I have 2 Drs appointments ...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I may use quotation marks unnecessarily in forums but if I wrote a serious paper I think that I'd know when and where to use them. I was a decent student in college. I was asked by my instructor in an advanced English Lit course at my university to tutor a student athlete and help him get his homewo...
