Fair bit fell here, luckily all small. Nothing like the drifts of it north of here(no, I'm not kidding).
Looks like my bell peppers bit the big one, and one of the sweet peppers lost all but two leaves. The ground's so wet and soft it'll be two days before I can replace the losses.
Gun show this weekend, and went to see things. Found a number of bits & pieces needed/wanted, and marveled at the prices some people were asking. More of the $70-90 bricks of .22 for instance, and some centerfire stuff about as bad. However, I was able to replenish my stock of individual-size bags of antiseptic, burn gel and such, and picked up one of these
for the truck. Have a light axe, but there are times something like this is real handy. And one that would serve nicely as a falcata is a bonus.

Bought the regular one of those three, four years ago. Handles like a champ, stands up to abuse and can even cut down a small tree. Sharpening it is a bitch, though.
How much did it run you?
$22; they had a deal.
It had a section where the wire edge was still there, used a diamond stone to clean that up and true it all. Cuts very nicely.
My late son ran around with a couple of Nepali kids for a while. both of them carried short (12") kukris so the dad gave Arne one. It's around here somewhwere. It is a Nepalase Army issue kukri and looks a bit primitive to the naked eye and came with a very small one with no edge which is used to sharpen the large one. On the other hand, once that thing is swooshing around, bits of things fall to the ground. You know, arms, fingers, ears, leaves, branches. Whatever you wish to fall to the ground.
Had a north wind and a cold front through here on Friday.
we got thunder and an inch of hail, followed by sleety snow. the hill (it's only about 1,600 feet) was still white yesterday morning, but it's only 3 weeks since we lost the full snow cover we'd had almost continuously since Christmas.
Come back cAGW - all is forgiven.
