I did wake up in the wrong state once. Long ago before my wife domesticated me.
Haha, did that once myself. In Athens Ga. adjacent to a club named the "Armadillo Palace"
Thankfully God takes care of fools and children.

At 63 I remind myself of the quote attributed to the actor, John Barrymore, that "a man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams". My goal is to remain a "professional small boy" and retain the sense of wonder and excitement exhibited by my now 6 yr. old grandson.

Rick said it was forged from 3 different high carbon steels. 1084, 1095 and one other.
A few more snaps...........
Rick said that this was his first forged damascus blade.
I'd say, not bad for a beginner.
But what do I know.
I just use them.

Its funny, we teach our kids the best we can and hope we did ok. We celebrate their succes and mourn their failure. But then they turn aroun d a give us the best life lessons of all, grandkids.
