I just have a Ghetto Blaster for outdoor tunes. Never had the neighbors complain about the Steely Dan, Spinners, ELO, Eagles, etc blastin' while burning animal parts or playin' with the Swinger. :lol:

I gotta contact my old buddy CK, he works for USAC. They have about half dozen events scheduled for tracks that are closed as far as I know. Some here, some over by the brats in Az.

no sleep here, I got puppy wars all night. No telling when the death dealing towel sock or shoe has to be dealt with from the new pup. She is hilarious, I had forgotten how puppy growls warm the heart! Hemi is getting much better and more tolerant, to a point!

Yep. Is the blade side sharp to the point on that? Is there a purpose in shaping that way? Does look like a strong tip…

Yessir. The tip is stronger than a normal drop tip so if you do a lot of stuff with your knife that you shouldn't do with a knife it survives pretty well. Puncturing, prying...screwdriver kinda stuff.

Yes... blade side sharp up to the tip

I don’t use mine that way but just like the look
 
Speaking of cool knives… These were Dad’s. Pretty sure he bought them in late 40s when he was stationed in Germany.

I tend to stress my knives.. :rolleyes: Kershaw hit the right balance of economy and a blade I can bring back after chipping concrete off of a steel pipe or prying open a container

I just wish the the damn squatters hadn’t stolen my grandfathers knife sharpening stones. They belonged to his grandfather and could put an edge in a knife as sharp as a scalpel
 
The asphalt plant I ran had a shaker screen that separated the dried and heated gravel before the aspalt was batched and mixed. It was supported by coil and leaf springs. The leaf springs were flat stacks of 8 springs. The heat and operation took their toll on them and required some replacements once or twice per year. When we were replacing those springs that rumor seemed to get around our local plants. Without fail, sometime during the day one of our mechanics from our truck shop would show up to gather the broken spring clusters for his knife making activities. They were junk to us, but they were gold to Delbert :lol:
 
Starting to form up the bridge today. Got shutdown due to rain, screw it I ain’t working in the rain unless I need to. I found this trailer frame on the farm and repurposed it. It will now get a poured top so I can drive across it. Ties classroom to shooting bays Over the creek. Pup is helping as she now won’t leave my side.
