Oh the memories of cutting across the field, across the river and up to the house for a good story with Leon.

Enjoyed your back the old days when I watched my Dad put a handle in his axe and wrap it with wire, of course he didn't have the tape to wrap over the wire back then.

You might consider hockey tape next time. I don’t know what your experience is with elechicken’s tape, but I find it turns into a gooey mess with some use and exposure to sunlight. Nice wedgy double you got there.
