Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

No, they're permanent but will fade as the patina darkens.

Sorry for missing your reply before Ed, that's very annoying A shame that striving for better quality is something that firm simply don't seem to want to do

Quality work John

I took my Granddaughter for a walk today, she is getting into Geocaching so we went to a bike path not far from home, at we could social distance and have fun doing it. She found 4 today, she was elated. Made sure I had the Lamb along in case she needed for anything. Sadly the only picture I took was of it sitting on the arm of my chair when we got home.

Sounds like you both had a great day Chuck Nice 'Go Faster Stripes' on your Lambsfoot

Leftovers!!!!! Cindy cooked a 7-bone pot roast tonight with all the fixings - turnips, onions, green beans, asparagus, and mashed potatoes with gravy. I managed to eat some of everything even the pot roast. Things are getting better and when this feeding tube comes out next Friday, things will be even better. There's enough left to last us a couple more meals.

Well done Ed, next Friday is going to be a day for us all to celebrate

Morning Guardians, hope everyone had a good weekend Back to the grind...

Happy Sunday Guardians

Dan, really great photo of your HHB. The grays and tans of the wood really compliments your stag scales.

As usual Jack, a very nice shot of your HHB. That stag is very fetching.

Ed, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Glad to hear that things are getting better for you. Having health issues is the pits. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thank you Bill, that's an excellent pic

Yeah, especially a place like Mt Whitney, where everyone wants a souvenir. Another marker on Whitney has been partially removed (this one is aluminum and probably easier to break than the standard bronze markers):

Some time back I had a custom marker made with family information (our wedding date and the names of the kids) and set it in a piece of granodiorite that I got where we took the family camping every summer. In this semi-sideways view you can see the part that is inside the rock. Properly cemented into place they would be very difficult to remove with the gear that someone would typically have when hiking to the summit of a big peak.

On peaks with less souvenir potential they are often set in without much cement around the markers, here are a couple examples:

How cool that you have a custom marker! Thanks for sharing. That looks like substantial anchor for sure.

Well done, John! I think this is my favorite of your lambslips yet.

Sounds like a fantastic meal. Glad you were able to sample all of it!

Mug of builder's tea on the side

I had to look that up.

Sounds like a lunch that’d have you ready to get some work done afterward. And, you’ve got just the knife there to help you with it, no matter what that work may be.

Quality work John

Well done, John! I think this is my favorite of your lambslips yet.

Thank you, Jack and Greg.
I'm just having fun experimenting with different styles and techniques.

Back to the grind...

The majestic Groundhog is watching over us.

Sorry Greg, I think it was Barrett @btb01 who brought up the 'Builder's Tea' discussion here a couple of weeks back, after being introduced to it by his brother I usually just call it tea Here, a larger cup like John's below is usually called a mug, with the term cup being reserved for a smaller size. So, you may be asked, "Would you like a mug or a cup?" when being served tea or coffee

Good looking lunch and Barlow Jack! A mug of builders tea sounds great. I may just have one myself. I hope your week is off to a great start my friend!

Looking good John.

Good morning Guardians! I hope everyone is safe and well. I’m running a little late because I selectively deleted 1.5 GB of photos from my iPad. I got that dreaded “Low on memory” warning this morning! Today I’m carrying a big’un with stag and patina!

Thanks Ron, I just realised I haven't had any coffee today, so I'm just making a pot I discovered some chocolate fudge in the cupboard too As good as it can be my friend, I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to rush back to work (since my work is at home anyway)

Oh no Ron! No chance of getting them back? I haven't used my Ipad for ages, but think I used to store the photos up in the sky somewhere, something like that! Fine pic of your Big 'Un mate, that patina really is incredible

My golden fudge!

Looks good! Everything is better with gravy.

Nice picture Jose.

Start your day with a boost from Spiderman.

That patina is looking great! I need to start working on mine again.

Thank you David. Very cool Hartshead on the topo map image.

Good Afternoon Guardians.

Brookes&Crookes and a Swedish double chocolate Crisp.

Thanks Harvey. Looks like them Swedes know a good cookie.

What amazing women There's some great stories in the George Cunningham book I have for you, which I think will give you a laugh

Thanks for sharing about the incredible sacrifices of so many women during the wars.
It's good to pause, reflect and remember.

Before the outbreak started I went to the home of a WW2 vet to help him apply and process the paperwork to move into a nursing home. He is 95 yo. He showed me the telegram they had sent his mother when he got severely wounded, told me about his wounds, how they still affect him to this day. We talked for a couple hours. I felt so privileged to be able to shake his hand and thank him for his service.

Good day Guardians

Thanks Dan, My grandad's kitchen could be full of old WWII vets sometimes, and my other grandad flew bombers in the RAF. Interesting chaps from a different era.

The mail finally arrived! Here are a few pictures of the new addition. The old stag handled Lambfoot finally has a mate.

Looks good that. Nice catch.

Here's some photos from my walk yesterday, the first ones are from an area called Sugarwell Hill, which is only about a mile from Leeds city centre, but where you sometimes see deer. Gypsy horses also used to be left here to graze until a couple of years back. There doesn't seem to be much documented history of the area, but old overgrown cobbled lanes, stone walls, and long-ruined buildings shows that a community once lived here, and there's plenty of evidence of early industry, including the ruins of a windmill.

Along Meanwood Beck, I came across some of the youngsters from my street raking hay. Despite its diminutive size, there was quite a bit of industry along the beck, with several old mills, and later factories. There's a major road just on the other side of the buildings on the other side of the beck.

The last time I walked this way, there was just a simple path, but there's now a tarmacked cycle path, which increases traffic. Heading away though, I found some wonderful green lanes and meadows, which were absolutely deserted, and climbing the hill into the woods, there were numerous paths to explore.

Emerging from the woods at the top of the hill, I found myself next to urban sports fields and the edge of a housing estate, built around an 18th century roundhouse. I was still only about 2 miles from Leeds city centre, and less than a mile from my home. In the middle of the normally very busy road, I was amazed to find an Ordnance Survey Triangulation Pillar, which is something I'm more used to seeing on the hills and mountains.

Thanks for posting that Jack. Looks a decent place for a change of scenery. That's unusual about that Trig' point; you'd of thought they'd of moved it to the side of the road instead of building around it.

It's definitely a nice one Les Thank you, that's just inner city Leeds, but it gets nicer as you head further out. Sheffield, where I was born, has often been described as a dirty city surrounded by a golden frame!

With the number of shootings there this weekend just gone I'd say it was more like a firing range.

Yeah, especially a place like Mt Whitney, where everyone wants a souvenir. Another marker on Whitney has been partially removed (this one is aluminum and probably easier to break than the standard bronze markers):

Some time back I had a custom marker made with family information (our wedding date and the names of the kids) and set it in a piece of granodiorite that I got where we took the family camping every summer. In this semi-sideways view you can see the part that is inside the rock. Properly cemented into place they would be very difficult to remove with the gear that someone would typically have when hiking to the summit of a big peak.

On peaks with less souvenir potential they are often set in without much cement around the markers, here are a couple examples:

Thanks for posting that; it's really interesting to see how other countries do things.

Afternoon Guardians, I hope everyone's well and your weeks are off to a fine start. Some great pics as always to help our Monday's a little more interesting.
My Ironwood today.

I just realised I should have had an apple instead of that fudge! Nice pic Les

Thanks for posting that Jack. Looks a decent place for a change of scenery. That's unusual about that Trig' point; you'd of thought they'd of moved it to the side of the road instead of building around it.

Yeah, there aren't that many hills in Leeds. Certainly nothing like Sheffield anyway. I'll have to see if there are anymore urban Trig points here

With the number of shootings there this weekend just gone I'd say it was more like a firing range.

Have there been shootings? I miss everything

Cool pic of your '19 David, and it's nice to see your new bag too

Thanks Les! That Apple should get you started!
