If you move to Carova, NC, Tom, you can live in the sand dunes with the wild horses. Make sure you own a Jeep. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

That, my friend, is a very handsome piece of cutlery. Congratulations on acquiring the final piece to the three knife set. It's a very generous gift from the phantom gifter. Very nice indeed.

Nice set of Blue Bone/Red Shield Case Trappers, Tom.
Now, your "Momma Bear" Mini Trapper (07) and your "Baby Bear" Tiny Trapper (154) finally have Big "Poppa Bear" (54) Trapper to complete the family. So, I guess that must mean you are "Goldilocks" (and the three bear trappers!
). Somewhere there's an OCD Monkey smiling down upon you.

@ Floyd, Dan & Q : Thanks for the kind words. I do appreciate it!
Q, somehow I have this strange feeling that you & the OCD Monkey know something about this Bomb.
Thanks Buddy!

Sweet bomb and great to hear your experience. Good on the anonymous bomber for sure, and lucky you. What a great unexpected treat and altruistic to the core. Wow that's a great story and completion of the missing link. Congrats and whoever the bomber was, hope you know you're appreciated and all the goodwill and kindness will circle around and come back to you. Great to hear about stuff like this.TPK wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:30 am
