Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Dschal]

I reviewed 10 pairs of boots for the feature, with my editor at the magazine adding a couple of additional ones - probably part of the reason I suffer so much with my feet now!

I can’t imagine breaking in 10 pairs of boots! By the end of the 1980s I’d had too many bad experiences with off the shelf cemented boots delaminate on me, and so many blister problems, that I went custom. These are Limmer’s, made in a small shop in New Hampshire, that are standard issue for AMC hut crews and NH Fish and Game. The waiting list is quite long, although their stock boots are also excellent.

Yes, they’re crampon compatible.

I guess I forgot to post picture before.

I thought it was my internet connection! Nice bowl, and it shows your Lambsfoot off well

£20 for four radios. Them were the days.

Yeah, I paid £50 apiece the last time I needed some, and that was 15 years ago, and I had to import them from Australia!

Go Knights! I’m starting my first build, in order to bake tomorrow.

Beautiful picture!
I also enjoyed the articles you wrote.
You write really well, no wonder you were so busy.

Thank you very much John, you are very kind

Good Morning Guardians
Spring Break starts today, so no work next week.
Plan on spending time in the shop, it's nice to keep busy doing something I enjoy.

Enjoy your 'break' my friend

That was just for that one feature, and they were all stout winter boots! In retrospect, it's hardly surprising I suffer with me feet now I actually still have some of those boots, but they're too stiff for me to wear now, as I have broken metatarsels on both feet Great pair of boots there my friend, you can't beat custom

Nice composition Ed, how are you doing buddy?

Made some store-cupboard chilli earlier (sorry Vince)

Happy Friday, Guardians!

This one does have its endearing qualities despite its flaws, and I'm gonna give it a fair shake. In all honesty, it has been my go to for marking and scoring my woodworking templates for quite a while, but I haven't given it much love for anything else.

Hey, no meat on Friday! (I ate some Spam this morning, having forgot.)

 

[Prester John]

Good afternoon, Guardians!

Good afternoon, Guardians!

Pretty! Great shot!

Pretty! Great shot!

Thanks! Photogenic subject.

Been there... Done that.
I remembered today, had a very sad PBnPB sandwich for lunch (outa jelly).

 

[JohnDF]

That looks soooooooo good right now. (insert drool emoji)

Now, I like Mexican food just a much if not better than the next guy or gal but I just can't manage large bits of food through my mouth - can't swallow them SO, today, for lunch, I opened up a can of Hormel Chili NO Beans and managed to get through about half the bowl. That chili that Jack Jack Black made looks delicious but I wouldn't be able to eat the chunks of goodies in it so, I had to settle for this. At least I'm getting better at taking things in through my mouth. At this rate, I hope to be off the feeding tube by the end of April.

Looking good, Ed. Happy about the progress.

I bet it tasted good.

My Lamb is helping me hang some new blinds in the dining room.

... and now I remember why! The blade is so crooked and inconsistently ground I can't get a decent edge along the full length of the blade. A great scoring point is what I've always settled on! Ok, back to Jelly!

Yeah, those basic models are what they are

Hey, no meat on Friday! (I ate some Spam this morning, having forgot.)

No meat! I had some dried soya TVP on top of the cupboard, so I put that in. I have to say it didn't taste a whole lot different to minced meat Easy to forget what day it is at the moment

Good afternoon, Guardians!

Great shot Vince

Thanks buddy, it wasn't too bad, most of it went in the freezer

Well done Ed, I bet you enjoyed that

That's something I need too John, I meant to have it sorted out before summer

I can put up with the cosmetics on those cheap knives, so long as they don't mess the edge/blade up like that Is there anything that can be done with it, or is it unsalvageable?

We have nothing but time right now.
I think they turned out nice and look good too.
As you can see, it's another beautiful day in Nor Cal. Bonus points if you spot my dog.

Is that a white tip on a tail just off the railing?
