Hey Leighton, I am in Michigan. But, I will probably get to bask in Stubby’s glory at the Coopersville get together. If Bitchmer doesn’t close the state down again.

I'm up for a Northern Michigan pic. Mackinaw Bridge in the background, maybe?

We’re gonna terrorize Coopersville on our Rascals and throw used Depends through shop windows. 😂 Oh yeah, I forgot to let Leighton know that Charlie Foxtrot is in Michigan too.

I confess corn-fusion. You proclaimed a certain known thief by means of fraud a friend and good guy misunderstood, yet have your hand up as willing participant of a game designed at least in part as a lasting reminder of unforgivable deception and treachery? Help me out here, please. Where the blazes do you stand? How can you stand in support of your pal but at the same time want in on this. Please enlighten me. Seriously. I don't get it.

Lobster wars! Leighton, That knife to the right of Stubbs brings back a ton of memories. My Grandpa gave me one just like it when I was a kid. That knife was in my pocket daily before I lost it. My Dad said he thinks they were made for cutting rope on fishing boats. Is that true?

We've eaten together, he's bought us double bone in Iowa pork chops, beef liver & tongue & even guanciale !! Probably forgetting more. I'd not hesitate to say, that Richard, thinks the best of most people & situations, very positive in general & like most, can not fathom anybody, taking advantage of anyone, for personal gain. I guess, that was reflected in his original, .... "can't believe" this scenario. Of course, it's totally your call, just thought I'd throw my .02 out there in an effort to give you my personal knowledge of Richard. Best regards, to You & Your's.

My Dad said he thinks they were made for cutting rope on fishing boats. Is that true? Hi Rooster, The knife is a 2 blade Barlow, made by ATCO of Japan. As best I can figure, it's designed as a basic utility knife, though you're right that the blade on this one looks like as if it is designed for a more specific cutting task, though I can't say as far as it being designed specifically for cutting rope. I got it along with a a bunch of others when cleaning out my late aunt's estate. I believe it's a 50s or 60s vintage. Here's another similar one with a more traditional blade style: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-1960s-japanese-atco-japan-barlow-254145179

I've no doubt that Wabi is a decent and fundamentally good guy. I just don't understand how he can stand for a guy who I know to be a thief, and then want to be part of a game where the object we're sending around is the very one the same SOB destroyed on me.

Well, the tour has reached the West coast. Well, not quite the coast as we're a good 5-7 hr drive away, depending on route, weather, and road construction. The man of the hour, so to speak , arrived in fine shape this afternoon, plenty of tape on the package. More than plenty. But not quite an excess. However, dick that I is, I cut the dang end off with a pair of shears and ruint the bottom of Leighton's nice plastic cover over the State List. He's a pro for sure........me? Not so much. The situation is not dire, but it may be rectified if I can find a plastic sleeve around here. Or a giant ziplock. Mr Stubbs, being a well rounded man about town, will not be relegated to only outdoor pursuits while a guest on the 7Acre RANCH! Some here know I have a fondness for epicurean delights. Thanks to Stubbs' dad, kamo_gari, who provided ideas for marinating some snow goose breasts I was gifted (actually the whole goose, I'm rarely lucky enough to get them cleaned already), Stubbs was available for assistance in the galley this evening. He assisted in the production of some Kerrygold Reserve, aged over 2 years, cheddar and goose breast quesadillas. He politely declined an offer of some for his dining pleasure, as he didn't want to get cheese and goose grease on his magnificent finish. As is photographically evident, Stubbs is a fan of cast iron also. He would fit in on fora other than only the Hunters' Campfire, however, for ease of following his journey I will only post his visit records up here: He was a pleasant dinner companion and did not hog the conversation, while seated to the right of the head of the table (OK, my computer desk, but I'm still the head of it) : Tomorrow will hopefully bring a bit better weather for something outdoor related. Had Stubbs arrived a bit earlier, he may have gotten in on some attempts at starling population reduction. Unsuccessful, as the 8-15 mile per hour variable and gusty wind with blowing snow was not conducive to accurate shooting I guess. Stubbs suggested a ballistic calculator to plug in the 7.56 gr projectile, +/- 1000fps, and 25 yard distance at our elevation and latitude. I may have been using the wrong holdover and right compensation for the 3/4 value wind out of the North. I'll have to check and make sure, but I think the only game seasons we have open right now are for non-game animals, yotes and jacks. I may decide to take ol' Stubbs up the hill for a walk in the new melting snow just for fun though. Take a 20g along for a walk. Stubbs will be heading to Washington in a coupla days, for a vacation in Hawai'i following. Stay tuned, same channel, same forum.
