Good morning, Guardians!

 

[herder]

Am I to understand correctly that Cambertree is suggesting a gathering of the worlds greatest Guardian and culinary members???
If so, I'm in!!! While I can't cook to save my life, I do consider myself a connoisseur of fine food which runs the gamut from State Fair corn dogs to Coq au vin (which my wife makes).
Maybe a lofty goal to get a group of like minded people together from around the globe, but what a great idea!!!

Knife content...
A picture from a father and son (and a couple of knives of course) road trip up to the North Shore of Lake Superior a few weeks back.

Yeah, nickel is almost entirely brass! Those bolsters are looking good Rachel

I guess they must have picked the date for the bank holiday, as they later did the larger Notting Hill Carnival , but it probably rains two years out of three! People come from all over the country to it, but it is several years since I've even walked to the bottom of my road for it, as it is very crowded, and once you've seen the parade a few times you've seen it. Hope the young 'uns have a nice time though With those temperatures, you must be glad of that rain Rachel

Your rosewood HHB is just looking better and better!!
I'm a big Rough Rider fan, but one criticism I have is their bolsters "yellow" very quickly (oh, and they don't make a lambsfoot ).

Yes, nickel silver is "white brass" and some of it can be on the brassy side.
Unfortunately, the rain came through and now it's like a sauna around here.

Good Morning Guardians, Up and at’em! Check the ebony scales out on this lambfoot. I haven’t came up with a name for it yet, but this one is quite unique. Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday. I will be taking it easy and resting up for the work week.

That is some fascinating ebony. Burl-like, it makes me think of smoke. Or Smoke over water.

It depends, Gary. Texas is a BIG state (I still consider it the biggest 'cause Alaska is practically uninhabited ), and it takes all day to drive from one end to the other, south to north or east to west. North Texas, near the panhandle, is probably pretty dry, mostly plains. West Texas is partly desert and mountains, and very dry. East Texas has the Piney Woods, along the Louisiana border, is probably the wettest and greenest part of the state. I wouldn't call Houston dry. It's near the coast about four hours' drive from me. The Hill Country is beautiful, semi-dry, I guess. Sometimes it gets pretty wet around here, but we are having a little bit of a drought. We need rain.
Also, it snows every winter in north Texas, but rarely here.

Ron, I hope you’re feeling better, my friend. My thoughts are with you and Pam, and your brother-in-law.

Chin thank you for the well wishes my friend! I always throughly enjoy your photos. This posting is no exception and I thank you for them. However at this time this one of your Bagel Break in the forest really is appealing to me!

Rough weekend, indeed, Ron; sorry to read about your concerns. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thank you my friend!

I’m still not 100% but improving steadily. Pam’s brother is also making some improvements. The doctor told her this morning if he continues as is he will probably be in ICU a couple of more days. Hopefully things can continue on the upswing!

I’m probably not leaving the house today but I’ve got my AC in my pocket to keep me company! Thanks to all you Guardians for the thoughts and prayers! They are felt and appreciated!

Best to your brother-in-law. Smoke up. Good to hear you're doing better too. I just hate it when I've got my head in a bucket too.

Well Jack it’s starting off to be a rough weekend! Last night I was sick. For the better part of five hours I kept my head over a bucket. Enough said! Yesterday afternoon Pam’s brother had to go to the emergency room. He’s a paraplegic. They admitted him to a room and it was 2:30 AM before Pam got home. We woke up this morning and the doctor called Pam to tell her they were moving him to ICU. They are treating him but they have him on a DNR order which is his choice of course. It’s not looking good.


I’m glad you didn’t give up on them Jack! You did good my friend!

I am sorry that you both are going through this, Ron. Hope you are feeling better. I also hope for the best for your Brother in Law. May you all be granted comfort and strength.

@mitch4ging - Thank you Dennis. That Horn Lambsfoot is exquisite. Hope things are going your way today, my friend.

@5K Qs - Thank you GT. Love your LamBar Jack.

Jack Black - Thank you Buddy. Here’s to happy feet. Merrells Rule. Size 12, please. Your AC is smashing. Any place. Any time,

@Timeinthefield - I’d call 1500 pages and your first Lambsfoot a great start. Welcome.

@Cambertree - Thank you Chin for all that goodness you posted.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

I'm feeling and praying for you, Pam and your brother-in law, Ron!! Please pass along my sympathies to Pam!! I hope things don't reach the DNR stage!!

Very sporty for a Saturday morning, Kevin!

Ready for the apocalypse!!

I carry a Lambsfoot because...carrying a sword would be just silly!

Haha, thanks Dennis.
Are those practice swords behind your handsome horn Lambsfoot?

Hello all! Happy to have found this thread, even if it was nearly 1500 pages in already. Hah. Anyway I guess it’s a testament to the popularity of such an awesome style of knife! I just received a new A. Wright today in the mail and figured I’d post it as a formal request to join the club!

Welcome to the Guardians!
Nice looking Lamb , is it horn?

Thanks pal, that's a great survival kit!

I was going to include a fero rod but I would've had to take out one of the Lambs ..... and I couldn't decide which one.

View attachment 1184837 I don’t know if peach pie is the best way to start off the day but it was so good last night I couldn’t resist this morning. I guess I have no self control

Self control is over rated.

Wow, I really like that!
Nicely matched and unique ebony.

New screensaver!
Another post well enjoyed.

Thanks, FBC. That's an example of some of my too cold to go outside photography, in which I try to take advantage of the winter sun coming through the south-facing glass block windows in the basement laundry room.

We gotta work with what we got.
I could go for some of that cold weather right about now. Although, I shouldn't complain, it hasn't been that bad here.

Man Jack's last appearance of his week in my rotation:

Fare ye well, Man Jack.

Cool photo, but it's tough to get the rosewood HHB roof rack on a convertible, I guess! Did they call vintage VW convertibles "Cabriolets"?

I am pretty sure that they did call them Cabriolets. I never got into convertibles very much, too easy to break into and too much of a pain to deal with.

Excellent survival kit, FBC; gotta have HHBs if you intend to survive apocalypses of various kinds (including roller disco apocalypse)!

I'm not totally sure that I would want to survive a roller disco apocalypse!

I’m still not 100% but improving steadily. Pam’s brother is also making some improvements. The doctor told her this morning if he continues as is he will probably be in ICU a couple of more days. Hopefully things can continue on the upswing!

That is some great news, Ron!
Nice clean shot of that sweet AC.


Betty with the rat rod Ghia model kit that I built many many years ago.
If Betty were a car, I think she would be a Rat Rod.

Ron, I hope you’re feeling better, my friend. My thoughts are with you and Pam, and your brother-in-law.
(I have an excellent Thai Sweet Chilli sauce recipe, if you’d like, as well?)
Well, if the International Order of Guardians were ever able to have a BBQ/bring a plate potluck, rendezvous meeting, it would be quite the feast of tasty world cuisine, I’m sure.And that’s not even including all the primo beverages that would be getting shared around!
I was chuckling this morning, thinking of which Guardians would be assigned to which duties.
I won’t go through the mental list I generated, in case I leave anyone out, but suffice to say, we’d have the booze, food, BBQ duties, condiments and desserts, and even postprandial cigars well covered!

I'll bring my appetite

Peach pie is without a doubt my favorite Sounds like a great way to start the day to me.
Besides, like flatblackcapo says, self control is overrated
I had biscuits and gravy this morning. Like they used to say "larrupin' good"
Here's a larger pic that was on the wall in last Fridays Flashback.

Definitely
I knew a guy in Bakersfield who bought a used red Karmann Ghia which had a personal plate. It belonged to a gal who was super proud of her high school accomplishment of having once been elected Home Coming Queen. And since it is a small world, she happened to have the same first name as his ex.
Somehow the plate got past the CA regulation board. The abbreviation for Past Homing Queen Lynn was, you guessed it... PHQLYN.
He wrote a check on the spot Drove it daily 'til the day he died.

OG, your Marshall Tucker post got me on a country music kick. My wife is not happy with you.

In case any of you fans of country music have not heard this guy, listen up!

Thanks for the story, OG.
Though,I am not sure what "phqlyn" means..... I did a quick search and found nothing of note.
I can be a bit sloooow at times so please forgive me.

I like jigged bone lambsfoot knives; thanks, José and Matt!

Thank you very much Gary.

Good song
I'd be mighty surprised if you found it
If you phonetically replace an "F" for the PH and "K" for the Q, I think you'll get the idea.
Hope I haven't raised too much dischord in the homestead. Just in case, here's one she might find to be OK-maybe...

Thank you Harvey!

Thank you Charlie! I be sure and tell Pam!

That is some great news, Ron!

Thanks FBC!
