We're having a bumper crop of Italian Plums this year. The dehydrator has been on full hum for a while now and will be for a bit longer.

Thanks, SDG. We sure do enjoy them.

That’s awesome, Josh! Our dehydrator gave up the ghost a while back and now I’m thinking I should replace it. :)

Thanks, Alex! I recommend that you do replace it. They are so versatile.

Nice! We just bought a proper food dehydrator after drying a huge score of oyster mushrooms in the oven, which took forever. I'm excited to make persimmon leather this fall, too.

Very cool, Julia! Sounds like you will make good use of it. I grew up in SE Pennsylvania and the native persimmons are amazing. I love making a persimmon "pudding" that is really a steamed cake. Asian persimmons just don't do it for me, like the wrinkly post-frost American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana). I'm guessing yours are the Diospyros texana?

Someone at work (not me ) got a new desk.


Showed them boxes who was boss.


And it’s still shaving.

Making memories.

Yep. Had some of the neighborhood kids collect some of the pine cones on our street, then we made some squirrel feeders and hung them up. It was a fun project and they got messy like kids should :D

Brought the Military to work today, and thank goodness I did. The longer blade really came in handy!

Finishing up some improvements at the gym as we get ready to re-open. Our county's numbers are improving, fingers crossed we can reopen at the start of next month. Today was flooring day, this was 2" carpet-bonded foam. Also cut through quite a bit of 5/8" closed-cell foam and Carpet Deck (basically carpet with a rubber backing).

I've been looking at the knives in my accumulation (I don't want to call it a collection) that I never carry. The Junior is one of those so it has been put on my kitchen counter for a day or two for me to use as a prep knife so it can get some use. Last night it did a fine job of slicing my pizza and it has just bisected an avocado that was lunch. I'm still on the fence. Let's see what happens after it has chopped up veg for a stew this evening.

Junior and Choke (another under used knife in my accumulation) shared prep for a pork cheek braise. Whilst neither was awkward working with in the kitchen (an area where I grip knives without thinking about it and just use them), neither was spectacular either ... I guess they are going to get a bit more use and then return to the "lesser used" storage.

cut a ton of huge boxes from Ikea.
S30V Shaman handled the last 4, and it looked bad after the job.



After some stropping :D



the tip must have kissed the floor a few times... oh well :rolleyes:

Using the medium stone to crisp up the edges on some broadheads.

I used the Crucarta Shaman and K390 Delica in my Carhartts as talisman against buying some knives that handled at a store. They were an orange and cork handled floating serrated Mora and two Buck 110s-- a green micarta slim pro and a blue slim LW. The plastic 110 had a more solid lock than the pro, which had vertical play.

Well, I was cutting some liners for the handles on a Mule Team using my Maxamet Para 3 when QA stepped in and shut the operation down.

Used the SE delica to cut wildflowers with my stepdaughter. Such fantastic weather in MO today!

Now this one of the more unusual stuff that Spydercos can actually be useful for! :D

I know, right!?

I do like other brands but don't love thumb studs, I heard this thing a while ago... "Once you go Spydiehole you never go back." :p :D :cool:

No pics but I used my Santoku to quarter a chicken for grilling out. The Santoku has been the main knife I reach for in the kitchen. I enjoy how easy it was to wash it after cutting raw chicken.
