Thank you all, my friends! It has been a nice birthday with lots of congratulations (I love the cyber space!).
Got a new weight, a lovely single malt and my old dad gave me his Ka-Bar, a US Navy Mark II made by Cammilus N.Y., which he himself was given by a Navy SEAL in the middle of the 1970's, when he sailed a torpedo salvage boat in the German Navy. This Ka-Bar is said to have been doing its duty in Vietnam. I felt very honoured being given this impressive piece of history.
