Got a few more pictures from Steve the other day. I just got around to uploading them. The first one is their homemade armor, the second is the whole gang.

On a related topic, I recently discovered that our Hobbit Hole knife, the CRKT 5700, had a second version, the 5800. This was the first time I even knew the thing existed. It appears to have been made in very small numbers, and I found only one dealer that had them.

The design is actually more practical as a general-purpose knife, since the sweep of the blade makes cutting easier. OTOH, the tanto point and straight edge of the 5700 is better for stabbing. At $32, I bought one, just to add to the collection. If it had been for sale for $17, it might have been our Hobbit Hole knife.

It still boggles my mind that *manure* is actually a commodity that is bought and sold among otherwise regular people. It's like sometime waaay way back some guy was shoveling poo and said something like "You know, if I had a sheckel for every shovel of poo I've ever shovel, I'd be a rich man..." [cue lightbulb overhead] "Hey... I got an idea... "

Howdy howdy!!!

I'm here! Gotcha programed into my new cell phone. I just push the green button and say "Wneighbor" and it'd dial you!

Pretty nifty.
