[Crazy Canuck]

Made my morning seeing you posting Ed! Glad you're on the mend, and look forward to having you back on a more regular basis again!

Happy 29th Guardians!

Thanks Barrett, hope you're having a great weekend

Thanks, Jack. Julie’s out of town, so Eleanor and I are going to see a movie tonight.

Alcohol and sugar are one thing, but imagine trying to give up Henderson’s for Lent!

Great to see you Ed @Modoc ED

All the best to all Guardians on this Feb 29

@Modoc ED - What a great Saturday it is to hear from you, Ed. May your recovery progress quickly and as smoothly as possible. Fine looking Horn Lamb Foot. Great choice.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Now I remember. I can see why the Stalls are so much fun for you. Is that a Pasty with your Hartshead & Henderson’s?

JohnDF Thank you John. Fine image of your Lamb Foot.

@donn -

CelloDan - another great set of your idealic Wintry scenes.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

Albert Oates.

How're you finding that Big 'Un Mike?

It is indeed my friend!

Nice pic of your Albert Oates, just a beautiful knife

Well guys and gals, I'm back after my cancer surgery. I was in the hospital in Portland, Oregon for two weeks and at the Swing Bed facility at our local hospital here in our town for a week. I'm still fairly weak but wanted to check in. I'll post in the future when I can.

Here I am two-days post-op displaying my usual effervescent personality. Sone of you may be asking; "What has that boy got tied to his head"? It's an ice pack - my best friend for my stay in the hospital. That thing coming out of my nose is my feeding tube.

A big decision I had to make when going for surgery was - What knife to take? I decided on this
I decided on this Standard Lambfoot with Buffalo Horn cover that was gifted to me by Jack Black . Of course I couldn't carry it on me so, the wife carried it in her purse for me.

I didn't check this post out for spelling/grammar as I'm pretty much worn out from putting the post together. Good to be bak - I'll be talking - errrrrrrr, typing to everyone later.

I was wondering how you're doing just today, Ed. Thanks for checking in. Hope your recovery is quick and complete.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

How're you finding that Big 'Un Mike?

Have to say, I'm quite smitten with it so far. I used to think the Big 'Uns were too big, but this one is proving itself just right. The li'l ones are still my favorites, but I'm coming around

 

[r8shell]

Chickadee in flight. Amazing!

 

[Dschal]

You’ve been in our thoughts @Modoc ED ! Thanks for the update.

 

[natchezz]

Awesome to see you here, Ed @Modoc ED ! Have any juicy stories from that hospital for swingers?

 

[JohnDF]

Fine image of your Lamb Foot.

Thank you, Harvey.

Edit - Fascinating family history Dennis

Thank you, Jack!

Excellent, Dennis. I like the brand name.

Thanks, John! It's an easy cary, with a belt clip!

Such a great image of your Lamb Foot, Dennis

Thank you so very much, Harvey!!

Amazing open pit mine pics, David and Dennis! I must not have the hole-digging gene. Growing up on a dairy farm, I thought digging holes for fence posts was one of the worst jobs we did!
David, I enjoyed the Newcastle temperature scale!
Dennis, your blond horn lambsfoot blows me away!

Thank you very much, Gary!
We always had horses growing up, so we built and repaired a lot of fence as well, but probably not as much as a farm! It's work, but I never minded, it was therapeutic in a way...till you hit ROCK!

Couple of fascinating pics of your ironwood and stag HHB!

Thanks again, Gary!!

More Man Jack:

Such a great looking Lambsfoot!!

So Cornwall Jack is your ancestor? I wish I could of sold my sister off for two mules; would of saved the family a whole heap of bother.
That cabin looks like a nice spot, I could live it that.

I have two sisters I would have traded for some hot wheels give a chance as a kid!

Some fine Stag on that Hartshead of yours.

Thank you very much, Dylan! I am very happy with it.

Putting this beauty to work this afternoon.

Great shot, Dylan! Are those blood oranges?

Good Morning Guardians
Spring has really sprung around here.
Grass is green, flowers are blooming, it's sunny and mid-70's.
I guess there's a good reason I pay so much to live in California.

Sunshine and green grass sounds good right about now! Nice photo, John!

And a gratuitous pic for the sake of it.

Wonderful collection and composition Tim!

An unused pic from last summer I think.

And a very cool shot it is, David!!

Really great to see you back, Ed! Know that just getting a post together is enough to wear you out!

Happy 29th Guardians!

Very nice photo!! Still my biggest regret, but happy to see the WCLF's!

Good Afternoon Guardians.

Albert Oates.

Wow! Another stunner, Harvey!! Quite a beautiful knife...and Fantastic Foto!

Sorry for not responding to all, I torqued my back changing out our 4 YEAR OLD LG REFRIGERATOR!
Great posts by all!

Great to see you on the road to healing, Ed!!! We've all been wondering when you'd check in!! We will urge you along to wellness! Stay in touch as you can, and get even better soon!!!

Great to see you Ed @Modoc ED

Those action pics are outstanding. Aldo Leupold has an excellent essay in A Sand County Almanac about chickadees, I forget the name of the entry now...

Awesome picture Dennis, hopefully you get your back straightened out. It's amazing how some of the newer appliances don't hold up...

 

[Campbellclanman]

Dan- Stunning Shots of our little wee friends- just simply beautiful!
Harvey- Wow- Lovin' that Oates my friend!

Ed! Love seeing you back! just keep thinking of those months ahead when you will be looking back at this- hang on in there matey!

That Horn is sure looking sweet Dennis!

Loving- absolutely loving my AC gifted to me by Jack in York! Dinner last week with Sue

 

[JohnDF]

Nice photo, John!

Thank you, Dennis.

Take it easy my friend. Put your feet up and have a malted pain reliever.

Dang, now I'm hungry and want a beer. Effective picture.

Morning Guardians. Going with the pocket brick two blade lambsfoot today.

The 2-blade lambsfoots intrigue me, Mike! I appreciated your evaluative comments in a later post.

The local news broadcast on TV, as well as some internet sites, are constantly promoting "what's trending" currently. You can be sure that I don't become aware of these trends until they've almost completely run their courses! As an example, apparently Pocket Watch Wednesday was a thing this week that I only became aware of today! Cool theme you started, JohnDF !

All the watch photos inspired me to do one with my Grandfather's railroad watch. He was an engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad way back in the 1920's and 30's.

...

The watch and chain were given to my late Father years ago by my late Mother's uncle, other than that nobody ever knew anything more about it, it does run but I don't know how to adjust it.

Like Bill, I have a Waltham watch passed down by a railroad man; my grandfather's uncle got the watch while working on some Illinois railroad in the early 20th century, passed it on to my grandfather, who passed it to my Dad, who gave it to me a few years ago. It has Roman numerals on the face like Tim's watch does.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

Today’s breakfast from yesterday’s Deerfield Bakery breakfast.
...

Exemplary ebony lambsfoot, Harvey (and some delectable eats)!

...
The pea shoots have finally poked their little heads out of the ground. It might get down to 32 degrees overnight, so we'll have to see if I need to replant this weekend.
...

Amazing that you've got sprouts emerging already, Rachel! Are they still viable, or did they freeze?

...
Gala apples, my favorite's too Jack.
...

Thanks for the apple lore, Dan! Can you actually recognize apple varieties by sight?? Another example of how "in touch with nature" you are! I have to read the signs in the store to determine which apple is which. I usually buy Gala (or Fuji), and my wife prefers Honey Crisp. I tried a Pink Lady apple I bought on sale recently, and it seemed very good.

Hi all. I just wanted to drop a photo of my new Waynorth Lambsfoot I received yesterday. Was lucky enough to find a dealer with one left.
...

Congrats on procuring such an outstanding knife, and for posting an excellent photo!! I can't believe there was one still available from a dealer so long after the release date!!

Thanks for the insight, GT.

It's an antique toy pistol that my Father-in-Law used to have hanging on his wall.
I love Disneyland, and mostly Pirates of the Caribbean, so I enjoy having it around. Thought it made an interesting backdrop.

I'm sure I was not thinking it was a toy pistol! Thanks for the info.

...
Good stuff The edge was sharp I think, just not very pretty

Thanks again buddy Nice pic of your pristine Man Jack, and I like the key fob
...
Great to see more of the Man Jack
...
Hope everyone is having a good day. Completely contrary to the weather forecast, it has actually been a pretty nice day here so far, cold, but sunny

Thanks for your thoughtful replies, Jack, including the compliments about Man Jack.
Eventually, I'll have to try to even out the grind on my rosewood HHB, but for now, it performs admirably!
Pretty sunny by me the past 3 days, but probably the coldest-feeling 3-day stretch so far this winter; the wind has been brutal, especially while walking into it, of course.

Jake has gone to work with me everyday this week.

Good ol' Jake
Needs a break!

Just received this Hartshead Rosewood Barlow. I was trolling the sales pages on another forum and pounced on the knife. When these first came out I was late getting to my e-mail and missed out on the Rosewood, at only twenty made they did not last long, which is understandable. Nearly dropped my phone a few times in anticipation of trying to make the sale complete. What a result! I did not think to ever see one of these up for sale, that made my day even week at that point. Yay!!

Congrats on picking up one of those rare and very handsome rosewood lambsfoot HHBs, Russell! To me, it looks like a very classic, vintage design!

My A. Wright lambsfoot arrived also, the thing has a bear of a pull and was very dull upon receipt, but I remedied that edge quickly thereafter. Much smaller than I thought, but quite well made, and nice looking wood on the handles!

Congrats on the eye-catching ebony on your Wright lambsfoot!

...
LOL! I think you mentioned that phrase once before; I like it. I had the misfortune to accidentily watch some UK news yesterday. I think "Panic and run about hysterically" would be a more appropriate phrase for us these days.

York and Liverpool are two very different cities. York has it's problems but Liverpool is one of the UK's (if not western Europe's) most violent city's and is getting worse on an annual basis. So long as the college is aware of that and prepares and provides for it's student's accordingly.

This was Wednesday's excursion up into our Peak District.

...

David, "Panic and run about hysterically" reminds me of the local weather forecasters' reactions whenever they spy a "cloud the size of a man's hand" on the western horizon!

Thanks for your take on York/Liverpool. I certainly hope the college has done due diligence before making a change in location, but I have no personal knowledge of who has done what in that regard.

I was surprised to read in a later post that you were trying to hike through knee deep snow. That can be an exhausting task, even when there's some blue sky above!

...
I'm glad you're managing Dylan I know first-hand, the teenage years can be difficult, my eldest girl wasn't bad, but the youngest two!
...

Maybe they had aspirations of being "chips off the old block"!

More Man Jack (apologies if I've posted this pic already this week):
