Good Morning Ray

Hey buddy, I got lucky and remembered where I had written my password down at. Whew!!! I must be getting old. Lots of stuff happening. My back has finally gotten so bad that something has to be done. I have several disks that are bad, but the one that concerns them most is in my neck. It seems that it is flattening my spinal cord. I've taked with a couple of surgeons, but I just hate to be cut on.

I haven't attempted a knife in several years. I also haven't seen or heard from Ken in a few years. I've moved to a small town in North Texas, but I still have the old farmplace.

Until my back got so bad, I used to farm/garden quite a bit. I raised a lot of heirloom tomatoes, cowpeas, okra, squash, beans, etc. I didn't grow anything but a couple of tomato plants this year. A bad back will certainly slow one down.

I will certainly try to check back in here more often. Even though I can't make anything, I still enjoy talking about knives.

Thanks for answering my email and I am glad you got your eyesight back! I miss our chats!

Welcome back, Ant Knee! Sorry to hear about your back but life is full of these little challenges. As for knives, there's all kinds of ways to make them as you well know so give it some thought. Maybe a kit knife, there's some pretty nice ones available.

As for the old chat system, I couldn't seem to get anybody interested when I tried a while back. Maybe we should try again ...
