Rained all day here. The yard is a soggy mess and it’s warm.
I did buy a new axe though so that should be here in a couple days.

Anything special?

Same we needed the rain we got 2 days of it this week. I won't complain.

I have some other axes and hatchets around. I use a fiskars splitting axe for firewood and as much as I’d hate to admit it the damn thing works great.
It’s ugly as sin. Black and orange polymer/plastic handle. I leave it outside year round hoping it would fall apart but unfortunately it hasn’t. Lol

I don’t know we’ve had a decent anount of rain lately. Couple inches today at least. On a good note maybe the lake is safe to fish now.

Rofl.. I love fiskars brand for outdoor tools.
Especially cause of the color
And they work good.

I get a little more excited than I probably should when I buy new knives and sharp stuff. I’m equally excited buying fly tying scissors. They are not all created equal. Believe me.

Fiskars does make good stuff. Except the lopers. I’ve broken two pairs of them. The splitting axes for firewood really are worth every penny. The black and orange is hideous and I hate colors on tools like that. Drives me nuts.

Well. . I am embarrassed to say.
I was bored in the car and decided to take the knife out of the box and look at it.
First mistake.
It did not want to come out of the sheath.
Should've known to leave it be right then but no. .
I thought maybe I could hold the sheath thingy from the side and wiggle it a bit to loosen it's hold..
Well it worked. . too well. When it turned loose I wasn't expecting it and I had my thumb in the path of withdrawal. .
About as smart as shooting yourself in the foot huh.

I have since then discovered. That it is designed to go in one way. .and if it is put in backwards. .
*THE WAY IT WAS IN THERE OUT OF THE BOX*
it gets stuck.
Really stuck.

Ouch! Reminds me of the time my sister was showing her daughter how to use her crazy sharp kitchen knives. She was emphasizing so hard how to not cut yourself & then nearly took her finger off to the bone. After half the night in the ER & a few stiches that's a lesson neither of them would ever forget.
