Good evening Yard. Hot and muggy for the next few days, so we will be spending time indoors for the most part.

Good to see an American company succeed.

Yup, much success.

I remember when Busse built another building to house more and new equipment, so I suppose that adding new distributors for additional production makes sense. Shomer-Tec and Arizona Custom Knives were already selling Busse knives, and Smoky Mountain is a big player in the business.

I wish all of them well.

That's an interesting twist.

I don't generally think of Smokey Mountain knife works when I think of quality knives.

Nope didn’t see that. But yeah, wow. I guess Jerry is changing things up. I wonder if Dan still has hands in the business?

Did everyone see the ad stating that Smoky Mountain Knife Works now sells Busse knives as well ? It sure surprised me !

Well, we had a funeral dinner at church today. Wasn’t all that bad as we had 7 folks helping. The father was at one time a long time member here so we did it for him and it was nice seeing the folks again.

I'm glad that it's back again. I was getting a "fatal error" message but after hitting F5 it came back.

The site was acting up yesterday.

Been having trouble signing on the last couple days. Anyone else having that problem?

Howdy Ho Yard Brethren. Looks like I missed out on that Burn Unit Bowie as apparently my email did not get through. Too bad, as I liked the looks of that one.

CONGRATULATIONS guys.

Today Todd (rt548) and his bride Susan are celebrating their special day, so let's all bark out a loud HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to them. I hope you have a great day celebrating with many more in the future,

Thank you. SEMPER Fi my friend.

Nicely stated Randy.

On this Memorial Day, all those who have gone before us. Those who made it possible for our great nation to be what it is today.

Some gave their very lives. Some gave a part of themselves, both physically and mentally.

Remember those who walked in the valley of the shadow of death, so that WE THE PEOPLE can exercise those freedoms we unfortunately many times take for granted.

To all those who’ve gone before me, I salute YOU.

Good afternoon Yard. It's beginning to feel like Summer out there.

Jerry has a limited offering on Monday ; I might have to try for one myself.

Well Todd, I guess you will just have to chase OGB around the house dry. :):)

No mowing this coming week. We put in a pool and we’re hoping to get it opened this week but that ain’t happening either.

I'm really glad to hear that Randy, thanks for contacting Ray. I was worried about him.

Just got off the phone with Ray. He’s still as ornery as he ever was. His legs are still pretty much the same but he’s not in a wheel chair which is good of course. He’s still going to Dialysis 3 times a week and it is, as it does everyone, kicking his butt. Other than that they’re doing OK and he said to tell everyone hello.

The good thing about Todd and no rain is that he won't have to mow on their upcoming anniversary.

We’ve had quite a bit of rain here and more is expected today.
