Thanks for the compliment Gary! Your Man Jack is looking quite spiffy my friend! :thumbsup: :cool: :)

Jack Black Jack Black My July 4th plans consist of spending the day with my wonderful wife. Our fridge went out and the new one was delivered and installed yesterday evening. With 24 hours to come to temp and stabilize the ice maker and all that we will make a trip tomorrow morning and buy the stuff required to restock. Then the rest of the day will consist of hotdogs, hamburgers with tater salad and baked beans. If I’m extra nice I might be able to talk Pam into making me one of her fabulous deserts. :D

I hope you guys don’t think it boring of me but my Damascus Ironwood was still out from yesterday so in the pocket it went! :D

How could you think that? Never, ever boring. Hope things stay frosty with the new fridge, Ron.

Simple plans tomorrow. Stay Home. Read. Be thankful. Keep it simple.
 
@kamagong, ugh, that sounds miserable. Sorry you had to endure that experience. Your plans for this year sound like a much better time all around.

@OLd_gUY, that sounds like fun!

@Pàdruig, congrats on your first garden. I look forward to seeing berries from your own bushes when the time is right. In the mean time, I won’t get tired of looking at photos like that one.

tmd_87 tmd_87 , sounds relaxing. Have fun and be safe!

What did you do for Elevensies? ;) :)

That WAS my Elevenses really, but I kind of like saying 'Second Breakfast'! :D ;) :thumbsup:

Thank you so much folks for telling me something about your plans for the 4th July, it really means a lot :) We don't have an equivalent day at all here (there are historic reasons for that of course) :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

My plans for the 4th? Pardon me while I rant like a curmudgeon:
When I was young, what folks did on the 4th of July (what city folks did, anyway) was to go to the city park. Eat a picnic. Throw a frisbee around. When the sun goes down, open a beer or bottle of wine, and watch the fireworks display. Then go home.

If I try to do that now in Austin, there are 200,000 other people with the same idea. Gates and shuttle buses, and multiple music stages, and wristbands for preferred viewing areas...:mad:

So now, just like on other holidays like New Years and Halloween which involve "drinkin', drivin', and blowin' stuff up", I hunker down at home, with all pets inside.

This year, though, I've been invited to ride with some friends out to a suburb/smaller town nearby that has its own fireworks show, and might not be such a hassle. Since I don't have to drive, maybe I'll do a little "drinkin' & blowin' stuff up." :D

Today, I've got some puttering around the house to do. I still haven't taken a new Lambsfoot group shot to include the Hartshead. ;)

Happy Independence Day!

"Did you know they don't have the Fourth of July in England?"
"Then what day comes after the third over there?" :confused:

Why not? :) :thumbsup: Drinkin' & blowin' stuff up sounds pretty good! :D :thumbsup: Have a great day Rachel, great pics :) :thumbsup:

Those were wonderful days.
I once lived in a little mountain town. The town's people would gather at the park for the usual games and picnics. At dark, because there were no supplied fireworks show, everybody would bring their own fireworks to shoot off in the park. There were fountains everywhere and pinwheels nailed to the trees. The show would go on for a couple of hours and we would walk around and see all the different stuff. What a great time it was.

Nice. Really such a treat to hear this stuff :) :thumbsup:

Both of these sound idyllic to me. I don’t have much planned for tomorrow other than to man the smoker and then try to keep the dogs from freaking out from unsanctioned fireworks displays.

Last year, though, was an Independence Day experience that I will not soon top. My wife and I were on an road trip to visit Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. We woke up in Jackson, Wyoming on the 4th and watched the morning parade there. I love small town parades and this one did not disappoint. The police were all on horseback and did a great job managing traffic around the route.

After the parade, we headed to West Yellowstone, Montana, which was where we were to be staying for the next couple of nights. It turns out they had an evening parade, followed by a free concert in the town square, and fireworks afterwards. A much smaller affair than the one in the morning, but still really great.

It was a magical day and totally unplanned. We didn’t know about either parade until the night before and the day of.



Sounds like a great day to me, Vince. Also sounds like a great tradition. Enjoy it!

Maybe we’ll see a picture of that USA made knife and your Bud in an appropriate thread? :)



Oooh. Chili cheese dogs sound great.



Thanks, Harvey. Every once in a while I say something useful. ;) :D

Love that R. F. Mosley. If knives could tell stories....

Sounds fantastic Greg :) :thumbsup:

Hello Guardians,
As far as the 4th, I live in a "Over 55" mobile home park and every year there is a flag raising ceremony followed by a small parade of my fellow old folks running around in decorated golf carts - usually about a dozen or so all decorated in a serious to comical patriotic theme. Actually pretty entertaining. But then, it doesn't take much to amuse me, anymore :rolleyes:
In the afternoon, there is a hamburger/hot dog BBQ and entertainment by a live band after that. I'd prefer bluegrass but usually it is a local group playing some pretty bad R&R so after I chow down, I usually skip it. Then it will be back home to catch a ball game or watch a flick.

Here's another Ansel Adams. This one is of the Golden Gate before the bridge was built.
Please excuse the shadow on the tip of the blade, but it's Wooden Wednesday.
It's looking towards the bay from the ocean side - 1932.
LATER I just realized you can see Fort Point on the south side of the entrance and how strategic the location was. Also, you can pick out Alcatraz in the bay.

Incredible OG :) Have a great day tomorrow my friend :) :thumbsup:

Pàdruig said:
Thank you so much, GT, your comments are always very appreciated. Initially, I thought I was only going to be able to get one or the other between the two Waynorth variants so I picked the Bone as I thought it would make a good user. But then fortune smiled upon me once more and I was able to get one in the Ebony as well due to the graciousness of a kind member. Now I'm definitely torn on which one I'd like to make a consistent user even though I've been alternating carrying them both the past several days.



Thank you, Greg. I did not grow the raspberries, my wife and her friend went and picked several pounds from a local field for jam and such. I do aspire to plant a number of raspberry and blueberry bushes, I've already got a spot picked out for them. I am very fond of berries and have always been set on growing my own once I had the place to do so. This is my first year growing a garden at the new place though, and it is doing wonderfully!


My picture is much the same as it was yesterday but it reflects the knife I've got in my pocket today.

That sounds great Taylor :) I hope you have a fantastic day :) The same to our other US Guardians, wishing you all the best my friends :) I will be down the market early tomorrow. I had hoped to have a US-made Lambsfoot in hand, and maybe it will still arrive tomorrow :) If it doesn't, I will be celebrating US Independence Day with my SamDamLamb ;) Have a great day folks :) :thumbsup:

I do to! I buy pie. Take picture of pie (with lambsfoot). Eat pie. Post picture of pie (and lambsfoot). Check my post is all in order by looking at posted picture of pie. Then think "damn, now I'm craving pie". :D
Click to expand...

Maybe I better think about what I am getting myself into before I eat one of these proper meat pies... It sound like it could be a vicious circle. :eek:;):D

It's always the wittiest posts you lose. :( In real life I'm a lot funnier than what my posts make out but BF software keeps my humour in check. :D
Is that a home made forge?
Click to expand...
That explains it! I must be in the same boat, the BF software is afraid that we might make someone split a seem if it lets us run around and post all uncensored like. ;):D
That forge is something my friend bought I can't remember where at the moment but I will ask when I talk to him. I have a new found respect for all the forgers out there. I was actually a bit sore after! o_O

There seems to be a lot of that going on lately Kevin o_O Cool pic my friend :cool: :thumbsup:

I think it was more my fault than anything, I tend to get up and go do something and come back and type a bit more....my finger gets sore ya know. :D.. I am going to try clicking the "stay signed in " option next time.

Nice pair of Barlows today, my friend. :thumbsup:

Condolences on the loss of your wits, FBC! :(:rolleyes: At least you have that impressive rosewood Hartshead Lambsfoot Barlow that BF software can NEVER steal from you. :):thumbsup::thumbsup:
Click to expand...

Some might say that I lost those years ago.... but I pretend like I can hear them. haha
Thank you for the kind words about the Rosewood HHB.

I have to say that we have been blessed with having all these wonderful Lambs foot knives this year. I would just like to thank Jack Black Jack Black and waynorth waynorth for all their hard work that made it possible for us to have these amazing knives in out pockets. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

BTW, My Waynorth Lambsfoot just arrived a little while ago so I am gonna go and snap a couple pics.

One from the other day.

Haha, when I first read that I read it as "same damn lamb", and thought it was quite funny since you have so many! Then I saw the pic and put it all together! :D
 
Good day/evening Guardians:thumbsup: a repeat of last night except the Hartshead is today's carry versus the ebony Lambfoot.

Plans for the 4th are pretty tame, grillin steaks and shrimp with a couple cold beers and maybe a cigar trifecta? We are perched above the valley so we are exposed to a pretty AWESOME free fireworks show as they explode about eye level from our deck:thumbsup:

Have a fun and safe 4th to all celebrating;)
