Here is another picture I took with my Swinger Polaroid
Land Camera in 1968. This is OLD SCHOOL Universal
Studios Hollywood. Displayed is a chariot used in
the movie The Ten Commandments.

You were able to stand in it for
an exciting photo op.

It is Knife Day again at El Rancho De La Tex!
I renewed my National Rifle Association membership
so they sent another knife to me as their way of
saying, "Thanks, Tex!". This here is a
Sandalwood Knife.


I don't know nuttin about this knife other than it is
a lock back with sandalwood (they claim) grip panels.
(The boxes always arrive crushed.)


The blade is 2.75" long and the overall length of the knife
when opened is about 6.75". Those are pretty much the
only specs I (kinda) know about this gas
station quality knife.



This is another Stone River LTD brand knife.



.....and of course.

As with all the other knives the NRA has sent me,
I am glad to have this one. It is just for fun and, well,
just for fun. And as with the others, I will give it a little oil,
a little love and pack it away for my son to have someday...
just for fun.

It is looking like Halloween
over at Walmart!


But the shelves still need
a lot of filling in.

Happy National Knife Day 2025!
To celebrate NKD this year I am posting some (not very good)
pictures of a knife that I bought in February of 2011. This is my
Spyderco Bug. As you can see it is very small and the price was
$8.08 back then. The Bug is a non-locking slip joint folder with a
1.27" blade.


The blade and grip panels are stainless steel. And look at that
teeny little Spydee Hole. This knife is a two-handed opener to
be certain. I failed to capture the Spyderco logo on the grip
panel here, but you can see it in the first picture. This is
just a fun little knife to have on your keychain.

Is this a great National Knife Day or what?!

This is just a picture I took on the way
home from doing my weeklies.

#1 HUSBAND lost his keychain in the parking lot at
the supermarket. #2 and #3 are probably
razzing him about it.

TRANSMISSION #90

Wednesday, August 6, 2025

Today is kind of a red letter day for me. Money has
been pretty tight for the last five plus years but as of
today I might be turning a bit of a corner for a while.

So today I without (too much) guilt bought a movie
that was on the outskirts of my Movie Wishlist. In the
Lost Lands. I am not a big Dave fan, but I AM a big
Milla fan. She is a badass. This will be onscreen at
Borden Cinema tonight!

I thought I had shown this guy before, but I guess not.
This is my Freddy Krueger Nightmare on Elm Street
bank. Yep, he is a bank. Made by Monogram. The blades
on his glove are delicate and prone to breakage so he just
sits in my curio cabinet collecting dust... not coins.

I do like him.
