It's just a testament to how awesome a shave a fellow can get with a good razor and some practice. In the morning before that photo was taken I looked like Jeremiah Johnson. A quick shave and I look 8.

You Wish.

I'd hate to be in the car with the big magnet!!!! Ouch!

They're all legal. Although you can't legally import a double edged knife anymore. Customs decide what constitutes Double Edged which leads to all sorts of interpretations. Sad really. Doesn't mean you can't get them here. Just that you can't import them!

What? No PUUKKOS?

Those Scandi boyos got these wee knives down to a science and an art form. They're handy as the pocket on a shirt and will get SCARY sharp and stay that way.

I'm never on the road without one Willie. Usually I have several, like you. Light, Medium and Heavy. Sitting around home I usually only have a lock blade and a Leatherman attached to me, but all the rest are handy anyway. No Puuko's yet. I have been planning on getting one for sometime though.

Not really Hirlau. I'm just a crazy SOB! The scarey part is, that isn't even half of what I own in bladeware. I'll have to do an inventory one of these days, and take a photograph from on top of a high ladder with a wide angle lens ...

I've been remiss in posting more pics. Gotten WAY behind.. SO I'll start with a couple from yesterday.
Sunrise out on IH20 near Santo.


This is pretty much all that keeps Patillo, TX going. This store was opened in 1951 by a young couple. He died 7 years ago and she's now 86 and still running the store.
Fascinating lady. Store is way cool too. She doesn't have much inventory anymore, sells feed to the "5 acre" farmers that have moved to the country from the city to get away from it all. LOL


This morning's sunrise show was pretty spectacular. The "red sky in morning" deal was on the mark today.


Two hours after the sunrise, I was watching this march towards us.


Two and a half hours I was watching this.


Turned around and looked back from the above pic and saw this.


Got some more from last week and earlier this week,I'll get them up and posted in a day or three.

On the way home from the farm the other day (Sunday). Took the long way home with a group of fellow motorcyclists. Took this quick snap on a short smoke stop. The photo can't do it justice. On another trip through this way in the early hours of the morning, looking into this cut away, all I could see was pitch black. When I came into it from the daylight, I found I had to take sudden evasive action as there was a cabin sized boulder on the road.

Interesting pavement markings. Our centerlines were white when I went to 'Nam. Came back and all the damn things had turned yellow except for divided highways. They could save a bit of paint/thermo if they just used one line the "skips". BUT they're probably like the outfit I work for that thinks they've got to "SPEND ALL THE MONEY!"

Mick.where are all the Roos???
