Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

My favorite libation from Islay or anywhere.

Mine too

The knife is right up there on my hit parade too.

Thanks Bill

Hey Jer, I'll come over with my brand new snow blower and will clear it all for you in no time

I AM READY

That'd make a great sequel to this Dan!

Looks like you NEED to be ready Dan! Hope you don't get it too bad my friend

Looks like a nice street Jer

Thanks, it is. Quite quiet itself, but just a couple hundred yards to a major road.

Oo, nice. Mine is about 22 years old. I'll run it till it drops, at which time I'll console myself with the modern spout-aiming lever. With mine you have to twirl a crank.

Marilyn is looking beautiful as ever, Jack.

Sounds nice, enjoy the good weather.

Good Morning Guardians
First it's off to the laundromat,
then it's home to finish up some chores,
then finally I will settle in to watch some football.

Thanks John, we ended up clearing the leaves. Tonnes and tonnes of leaves!
Your day looked busy; hope you enjoyed the game.

Thanks. I set a back bevel of 15 degrees per side. The diamond hones leave quite a scratch pattern. Then the fine white ceramic hones is such a jump up in grit, I didn't have the patience to polish it all out. (I might try to do that later with a flat stone.) I then tried to put a 17.5 micro bevel, got tired and finished with two passes on the SharpMaker fine rods at 20 degrees. It's a sharp but "toothy" edge.

It snows so seldom here, I love the novelty of it. The whole town shuts down. I wouldn't like living somewhere it snows often enough that you're expected to actually go about your business in it. I don't know how to drive on ice and snow. Knowing that makes me a better driver than all the folks around here who think they know how.

Sounds like over here; we also have folk who think they know how to drive on ice and snow. They also tend to be the same sort of folk who think they can drive through flood water...

I thought I'd visit Skye tonight, and finish off this bottle of Talisker

Great pics Jack.

Looks like some incredible history to learn about, David! Good looking companion to have with you!

All this great horn going on, I'm joining in with Big'un!

Have a great Monday!

Thanks; it's a very interesting church. It has the oldest Anglo-Saxon writing in the the country.

Great looking knife.

Hello Guardians. I hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend. -14C and snow here today, so not straying too far from the house.

-14c? Sounds warm for Canada.

Around here we've been sporting our Poppies for a couple of days! Is that still the custom around where you folks live??

Here in the UK people will be wearing Poppies 3-4 weeks prior to Rememberence Sunday. I usually go through about half-a-dozen in that time so each time I need a replacement I'll pop a few quid in the box and grab a new one.

Still snowing here. This was a couple of hours ago.

Pretty.

I AM READY

Now that snowblower looks the business! Just in time to deal with that weather forecast.
All this fancy kit really makes life easier. Yesterday my brother had a fancy leaf vacumn cleaner/mulcher thing which was worth every penny.

Well I skipped work today to watch the transit of Mercury across the sun through my brother's telescope. It was actually mildly sunny up until about midday (transit began 12:30 GMT) then the inevitable happened and it started pouring down. 13 years until the next one...
Not today as the weather was to damned pants to take a photo.

Yep Thanks David, the weather was just like that here today, hope you enjoyed your day off anyway Is that Peveril Castle again (in which case it's changed a bit since I was last there)?

 

[donn]

No it's Clitheroe Castle in deepest Lancashire. I was there for Clitheroe Beer Festival back in April I think.
It has a visitors centre which I'll be going back to shortly when I get round to visiting Whalley Abbey.

With Sköll in hand
You'll win your goal line stand, John!

It was an easy win, GT.

"Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places".

I like it!!!

I know you posted those elsewhere... but like I've mentioned, I'm lazy.

we ended up clearing the leaves. Tonnes and tonnes of leaves!

I use a leaf blower, blow them onto the big lawn, and then run them over with my lawn tractor. Quick and easy.

Aye I reckon that would work to

In my Oregon town, poppies show up for both memorial and veteran's day.

 

[redsparrow]

Nice to see you posting your Lambs, James.

Very nice Love this pic . Hope they meet their new flock member soon

Great pic It's great to see Kermit again too

Thanks guys, I tend to stay away from this thread because ... you are a bunch of enablers.
But I always enjoy it!

Lovely

Lovely photos Jack. One of my favourite places is Skye. My favourite place on Skye is probably Talisker Bay. The whisky they make nearby is not at all bad either!

I hope you picked up a couple of spare shear pins for your new snow blower. Here's a blurb about them:

A shear pin (sometimes called a shear bolt) in a snow blower connects the auger to the shaft. It is designed to break away in case foreign objects come in contact with the moving parts. Some common items you may encounter that can cause a problem:

• Frozen newspaper in the driveway
• Lawn ornament (garden gnome) blown over into the walkway
• Children's toy that was accidentally left out
• Delivered package (perhaps a holiday fruitcake)
• Dog's long leash

If it weren’t for the shear pin breaking off, the damage could be extensive to your auger shaft and gear case. You may not even be able to repair it yourself. However, this fail safe design allows you to quickly replace these small parts and get right back to work, assuming you have a few spares on hand.

So you might as well keep a supply of shear pins on hand throughout the winter because sooner or later you will need to replace one. Of course, you can always fall back on the alternative, a shovel.

Inspired by Jack's History bits and Jer's mode of transport, I thought I'd truck these in from the cold, of the Queen's tower (a display case)!!
These Lamb Foot knives are all Wright, except the black Eye!!

Bit off topic, but just want to post for Remembrance Day, especially to any forum members who have served.

Mate, great collection of knives there, the mixture of scale covers is very easy on the eye. Love the " TONKA ".
