Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

One of my favorite beers is a "limited release" by Lagunitas. Seems they've crafted another excellent one.... Also a limited release... Guess I can't win.

Enjoy the moment.

You need one of these Lagunitas Mason jar glasses.

Both beverage and blade look superb, Dwight! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
I like the wider field of view than we often see in your impressive knife photos. Is the "knife pic rock" in that photo? (Maybe the bench like object just above and to the right of the barehead end of your stag lambsfoot?)
The mug and head on your stout reminds me of outings to A&W or Dog&Suds in my youth to get an impossibly huge mug of root beer on a hot summer day, maybe to celebrate the end of baling the first cutting of hay! :)

Some of this last night:

Thanks GT! Yes sir the "bench" to the right is the rock I usually use to photo knives. It weighs in at about 900lbs. Your hay cutting remark brings back youthful memories. The last year of high school I and two others would get out about 1 pm and hit the hay fields. We could haul and stack 1000 bales (90 lb) from the field and into the barn each afternoon. Pretty dang good money for back in those days. That Amberbock looks delicious. Great to hear from you my friend. :)

Thanks for the confirmation on the photo rock, Dwight. :) I always wonder how far it is from the rock to the tree line in the background; whenever I see some relatively flat, clear ground I start to wonder if a ball diamond would fit there. :rolleyes:

1000 bales in an afternoon is impressive, especially on a regular basis. One of my younger brothers would drive the tractor pulling the baler and a flat wagon (with a rack at the back); my dad would be on the wagon stacking bales as they came out of the baler. Another younger brother and I would hitch up a full wagon in the field, bring it to the barn, unload it, and return the empty to the field; I was usually on the wagon putting bales on the conveyor going up to my brother stacking them in the haymow. 1000-bale days were very rare for us, but we had to start milking cows around 5pm, so our baling hours were restricted to about 4 hours per day (unless we did some unloading of full wagons after milking). We also had bales that were usually about half the weight of yours! This knife cut an awful lot of baler twine as we used the hay bales throughout the year!

Haha! GT it's right at 100 yards from the rock to the farthest part of the tree line. I believe we could ---"PLAY BALL!!!" :D
We did have a conveyor loader. One drove the tractor or truck, one set the bales in the loader and one guy was on the trailer stacking. We often times had to stack it in the upper loft of the barns. Our hauling day usually ran from about 2 pm until dark-thirty. We were young and had no idea it was hard work. :D
Great pics of Lamb Jack and company! Thanks again Gary.
