Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Modoc ED]

Back from town where I got some fresh air and a change of scenery. Turns out I didn't take either knife I mentioned above. Changed my mind at the last second and took this "Big-un" with Rosewood covers.

Changed my mind at the last second...

Starting to sound like my wife picking her purse.

 

[Prester John]

Brought the percolator back up.

Two things have always worried me about the automatic drip type, I think that's what these are called:

First, I'm drinking out of hot plastic. Second, how can they ever dry out, so how can they not get moldy.
I don't know why that didn't prevent me from using them for decades.

Maybe I should go back to a percolator. My aunt used one on a gas stove, but my grandmother just threw coffee grounds and water in a pan and boiled it. Of course, you have to pour carefully so as not to get the grounds in your cup.

They say it helps to boil the coffee with eggshells. To settle the grounds. I'll stick with the percolator, though.

 

[mitch4ging]

Three decades on the Texas gulf coast fighting hurricanes. Moved away from that to a more peaceful area but have to put up with the occasional tornado now.

We were stationed in Orlando when Andrew came through, don't care to go through one of those monsters! I worked all the big tornadoes here in Oklahoma for the last 20 years, really pray this year will be mild, but it's a bad start for your area. Stay safe!

Nice post, Dennis, and good looking bread!

Thank you much, Vincent!
Been eating wayyy too much bread!

I hope you're doing ok my friend

Thank you very much, Jack!
I do sincerely hope your back is better! Back issues are certainly no fun!

it looks like you're being well looked after

She spoils me so!!

I wonder if those two sheep are still wondering what was going on there! I remember once being on a family fishing trip, and my grandmother being pursued across a field by a sandwich-hungry old ram. She was as tough as old boots, and it was the closest thing to fear I ever saw her show! She was hitting it with her handbag, while the rest of the family fell about with laughter

Lol!
My FIL had goats who always felt compelled to charge you, but they would follow him around like puppies! He also had a rather large goose named Sampson who would love to chase anyone that would flinch!

I hope you feel better soon my friend! My compliments to your wife on that beautiful

Thank you very much, Ron! Hope you are doing well!

Enjoyed the rams working out video.

The secret to longevity...exercise!....or was it pizza and beer?

That bread looks as yummy as your Hartshead.

I will pass on the compliment!

One day.
Great video. I don't know about everyone else but it looks a little to energetic for me though.

They are a bit tenacious! I'd die out within the first 3 minutes!

A local photographer took a photo of me shopping for the apocalypse last week

Who was that masked man?

Thanks Jack, no stood up fine thanks and I'm even sitting ok at the mo' and not felt the need to lie down, (which is unusual as I usually want to lie down whether I've a bad back or not).

Do hope you recover quickly, David! I really enjoy your journeys you take us on!

My brothers banana bread made in a bread maker. I've just had a slice and it's absolutely delicious!

You CANNOT go wrong with warm banana bread!!

Morning Guardians...

One of his funniest! (Not Garfield )

Here's my Hartshead Barlow with my pal...Al We've been spending a lot of time together Have a good day folks

Sorry you gotta have one, not the HHB, a hot water bottle, although it does have groovy turtle neck! I have my heating pad on my chair, and use a TENs unit a lot, which really helps me a lot.
Get well, and be safe!

Heres hoping everyone's well.

Beautiful setting, David!

Healthy lunch

Nice! Just finished soup and salad...healthy choices

Good Morning Guardians
Jack, I hope your back is getting better.

Lol! Perfect, John!

Y'all stay safe and well out there!

You as well, Ron! Great photo!

There are a lot of YouTube tutorials on fashioning masks out of bandanas. It makes me a little nervous walking into the bank, though.

Awsome, Rachel!

Peas in February

They're looking good! We lost our egg plant when we dropped below freezing last week, but everything else seems to have made it so far.

Best way to make coffee.

Especially on a camp fire!

Just a hunch. Waffle, fresh ground peanut butter, and D Donuts new “Snakin Bacon.”

With an Albert Oates Big’un.

Both!
A cardiac attack on a plate!...How was it??
Beautiful shot of your Albert Oates!

Stay safe!

Fodderwing - Awesome Dam Lamb in the Forest image, Dwight

Thank you Harvey.

Thank you very much pal, that is a stunning photo

Thanks Jack.

What a great shot. The patterns on the blade remind me of one of those 3D pictures you can stare at for hours before a picture of something appears.

Thank you David.

Havagoodn all

Starting to sound like my wife picking her purse.

You should have more sympathy for her John. Sometimes, it's a difficult task to pick just one John.

 

[JohnDF]

my grandmother just threw coffee grounds and water in a pan and boiled it.

That's cowboy coffee... and good stuff, you just gotta throw out the last bit in the cup because it's all grounds.

or was it pizza and beer?

I vote pizza and beer.

You should have more sympathy for her John. Sometimes, it's a difficult task to pick just one John.

I feel bad for you, ED. I really do.
Beautiful large heard you've collected in a short time.

The eye of hurricane Ike came right over my house in 2008.

 

[Pàdruig]

Well, crud... This blasted software lost me some quotes... Those of you who offered me compliments, you have my sincere appreciation.

Ron, I'm smitten with your new Lambsfoot - it is a lovely knife.
To those of you suffering from back pain and the like, you have my sympathies, I am hoping for speedy recoveries and relief.

This one has been close by the last couple of days.

 

[cigarrodog]

@Onebigbill - Kind of you to say that, Bill. Thank you.

JohnDF -

mitch4ging - Thank you Bud. The bacon was a rare treat. The fresh ground peanut butter usually goes on toasted on sourdough rye, but the place I get it from is closed. Either way, it’s delish. Dennis, that’s a smashing image with your JB SFO Horn hafted Lamb Foot. Hope you’re doing well.

I really enjoy seeing all the usage on that blade.

I don't know why that didn't prevent me from using them for decades.

Nice balancing act Jer I haven't used a drip-type coffee maker for decades. I used one of those stove-top Italian espresso makers for years, but I usually use a French-press (we call it a cafetiere here) these days

Thanks Jack! The Ironwood is a very pleasing carry! They only do the senior hours on Tuesday morning. I normally avoid Wally World like the plague. (That’s probably not the best phrase to be using given the current circumstances!) But this may become my new normal once a week. At least for the duration of COVID!


That’s a great looking meal Jack! And a great looking Lambsfoot serving the cutting duties!

It was a good move getting that one re-handled Ron We're all having to make unusual shopping choices my friend. The place I've been going to is the worst of the small supermarkets nearby, but that means it's the quietest Thanks pal, I enjoyed it

All that any man needs! Except for maybe including an ice cold brew.

Thanks Bill, I had a few out of the overpriced variety pack I had delivered

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Glad you’re feeling a little better. Funny comic and tasty meal.

@JaxBaron - Thank you Jon.

@donn - fine looking mask selfie.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

Enjoying bacon, before it’s rationed. Just a hunch. Waffle, fresh ground peanut butter, and D Donuts new “Snakin Bacon.”

Thanks a lot Harvey, my back was sore after doing the cooking, but it's definitely well on the mend Looks like you're living well my friend, love your Albert Oates

Happy Tuesday Guardians hopefully you are all having a great day!

Great pic Taylor, lovely character on your WCLF

Changed my mind. I'm taking this 2019 Guardians SFO with Ironwood covers by Jack Jack Black with me today as it rarely gets pocket time and has never been to town with me.

Back from town where I got some fresh air and a change of scenery. Turns out I didn't take either knife I mentioned above. Changed my mind at the last second and took this "Big-un" with Rosewood covers.

Hope it went OK Ed, and that your Big 'Un enjoyed the trip

Maybe I should go back to a percolator. My aunt used one on a gas stove, but my grandmother just threw coffee grounds and water in a pan and boiled it. Of course, you have to pour carefully so as not to get the grounds in your cup.

Not a bad way to make coffee Vince When I live in the Middle East, we used to use a small stove-pot pan, I loved that coffee

You have certainly been through the wars Dennis, reckon you've earned a bit of spoilin' buddy Thanks a lot for the kind words, I never got on too well with my TENS machine, maybe I should give it another go. Geese can be vicious! Swans too! Cool pic my friend I hope you're doing OK

Another fantastic pic Dwight, it's great seeing you here again

Starting to sound like my wife picking her purse.

LOL! Outstanding collection Ed

The eye of hurricane Ike came right over my house in 2008.

Wow! I'm glad you guys put up with me bitchin' about the rain! That's WEATHER! Cool pic

Happening a lot at the moment Dylan Your WCLF is looking good, beautiful photo

Morning Guardians, I'm back on the bottle today

Hoping my back will loosen up again soon, it's definitely a lot better than it was. Not sure when I'm going to get a shave though, I'm starting to look like this guy!

Hope everyone is doing OK, and not going too stir-crazy I'm hoping to get a bread delivery today, which is pretty exciting! Have a good day folks, stay safe and well

 

[5K Qs]

...
I am doing well, except for a shoulder injury from a bicycle crash but that will heal. I hope to be around here a bit more in the near future.
...
My dog was wondering just what the heck I was doing in her regular sunbathing spot and had to come over and investigate.

Hope your shoulder heals up fast and completely. Maybe you should trade the bike for a trike that's less likely to crash.
Cool pic of your lambsfoot (ironwood?) and dog. Reminded me of the old Carole King song about how you can't talk to a dog with a shotgun in her paws.

...

Fab Four Flock!

...
Rosewood featured today of course.

Nice rosewood/pancake shot, Dave! You're the Sultan of Sourdough!

...
Hartshead and blueberry scone.

Both delectable, Harvey! Have your photos featured fewer baked goods since stay-at-home orders arrived? Has your favorite bakery shut down completely?

...

WCLFs always leave me speechless!

...
Hope everyone is doing well I was just having a shave this morning when my lower back went! I managed to get out for a few provisions, but it was a painful trip Hopefully, OK in a day or too

I hope the back pain subsides quickly, Jack; no fun!

...

What a high-class quartet of lambsfoots, ED!

...

Snakes Alive, Dan, you speak Parseltongue, too??

My 1 year old daughter is a fan of the Hartshead!

Your daughter is a year old already?? Great shot, Taylor!

My buffalo horn lambsfoot showed up today and happy to say its a much nicer example than my large rosewood was. Hard to capture in photos but the horn has nice looking color striations and the back cover has some lighter shades as well. I do like the size better than the large also. I think its a keeper this time.

Congrats on the glossy new horn lambsfoot!

Afternoon pics of the garden.
...
The peas are starting to fill the funky trellis:

...

BOTH of your thumbs must be green, Rachel! (We had several days with accumulating snow last week, and they predict more this morning, so gardens are NOT very far along yet.)

...
And everyone's been posting pics of their flocks recently. Here's an updated one of mine.

...

Quality quintet, David! My two favorites are on the ends, with the Eye of Sauron horn and the 2-blade.

...

...

I admire this photo!

Trying for a nice clear picture... let's see if I am capable.

Nope, I'll keep working on it.

Your photo standards are much higher than mine, John!
I think that's a fine pic, especially with the grain of the wood background reflected in the backspring.

From the Daily Mail.

Your Damascus stag senator is sensational, Harvey, and the "black sheep(dog)" photo is priceless!

Thanks, guys.
I may be partly to blame for the weather. I haven't quite put away all the Christmas decorations, so the local angels may be confused. Or impatient....

There may be some truth to this. My wife picked up a boxful of random Christmas decorations last week!

Just a quick stop in to post a pic.

I'llllll be baaack.

Cosmic rays in a cloud chamber!! Great to see one of those fine 2017 Guardians horn lambsfoots, FBC!

...
I snuck in some pre-dawn sourdough mixing this morning, let it rise and proof throughout the course of the day, and pulled the finished loaf out of the oven about an hour ago. Looking forward to cutting into it in an hour or so after it's cooled enough.

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

That looks so good, Greg, that I'm going to have to stop for breakfast!

Here's a recycled photo of my HHB and an old wheel barrow made from Cypress wood that is the residence of a potted fern.

[5K Qs]

Getting ready for another round of bumpy weather here in the south. Hope everyone stays safe.

I hope the weather calms down soon, Les.
That's a handsome stag lamb with an enviable edge!

Going outside my comfort zone.

Heavenly stag HHB, Dave!
The cookies may be outside your comfort zone as a baker, but they offer me, as a baked goods consumer, substantial comfort! Sourdough cookies?

When I got up this morning I knew it was Saturday so I dropped my PD Stag Big ‘un in my pocket.

Little did I know y’all had declared it Sambar HHB day! So here you go!

...

Impressive stag pair, Ron!

...
Jelly and I did a lot of work in the yard today, but were very honored to receive this quite prestigious honor upon completion!
...

Not my yard pictured above, but if you can imagine something about 1 percent as large, with one tree, and covered with lots of pretty dandelions and clover, then you'll get the idea!

I think I can picture that, Matt, but any yard looks good with Jelly in it!

Wouldn't it be wondrous if all Guardians were issued shepherd's Crookes like yours, Harvey?

...
I finally got around to taking a pic of the herd.
...

Congrats on a spectacular deca-lamb flock, FBC!

...
Many thanks, Gary!
My favorite it George!
...
All this backing has inspired me to......ask my wife to bake some bread, since I burn water! She's been making a loaf every couple of days now!
...

Fresh home-baked bread and a stag HHB; you're livin' the high life, Dennis!
Did you ever see this video of George and others with Carl Perkins? George seems to be so happy!

Morning Guardians, you folks have been busy! I was hoping I'd be able to get back in my office chair again today, but still struggling a bit I'm afraid, so just stumbling along on my phone I hope everyone is doing well, and having a decent weekend Got my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket again

...
Unfortunately @donn 's back has come out in solidarity with mine, and he's having the same problem
...

Sorry to hear that the back pain is not improving appreciably, Jack, and that David has a bad back now, too.

...
I remember once being on a family fishing trip, and my grandmother being pursued across a field by a sandwich-hungry old ram. She was as tough as old boots, and it was the closest thing to fear I ever saw her show! She was hitting it with her handbag, while the rest of the family fell about with laughter

Where was YouTube when you need it??

...
I'm excited this morning! I got a new to me Lambsfoot in the mail yesterday evening. It's totally different to me.
...
My knife is a Venture, H.M. Slater, Sheffield. It has some beautiful deeply grained horn handles. The bolsters are brass and the liners are steel. It is a big'un, which I really like! As a note, the blade looks very much like the blade on my big'uns from Wright's. The horn is hard to photograph but I got some photos to show you!

...

Congrats on that big new lambsfoot with the brass bolster and glossy horn, Ron!!

This week for me, it's Union Jack, my rosewood lambsfoot:

[Half/Stop]

After losing a large multi quote for the third time let me just say “I’m not a happy camper”! This place means so much to me, but the site has really been trying my patience lately. Everywhere else I go is fine! Let me just say “Thank You” to everyone for the kind words about my daily carry choices. I also want to add what a wonderful bunch of Lambsfoot knives are posted daily. And by the finest bunch on the Porch!

 

[JohnDF]

it's definitely a lot better than it was.

I'm glad there is improvement.

I think that's a fine pic, especially with the grain of the wood background reflected in the backspring.

Thanks, GT.

the finest bunch on the Porch!

You included, Ron.

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Guardians
With improvement in Jack's back, I am now switching back to my Rosewood.

 

[screened porch]

Nice balancing act Jer I haven't used a drip-type coffee maker for decades. I used one of those stove-top Italian espresso makers for years, but I usually use a French-press (we call it a cafetiere here) these days

Maybe I'll try a French press if I can find one without explosion warnings. I should have brains enough left to figure one out. Meanwhile, I ordered a new percolator last night: $18, with 4.5 stars out of 8000+ reviews, should be all right. This estate sale perker tasted a little bitter and oily this morning, but I've used it before, so I shouldn't die of it.

how you can't talk to a dog with a shotgun in her paws.

You made me look. I didn't think I remembered a song about a cat with a shotgun.

 

[Jack Black]

I hope the back pain subsides quickly, Jack; no fun!

Sorry to hear that the back pain is not improving appreciably, Jack, and that David has a bad back now, too.

Thank you for your kind words Gary, and for your Herculean posting effort

Where was YouTube when you need it??

I wish!
