So sorry to hear that, Dennis.
Like that photo, Dennis.
I had myself a couple of miles yesterday too...it had been a while and wow I forgot how refreshing they are! Great photo as well!Wishing you all some peace and relaxation this weekend. Perhaps with a cold drink...
... and maybe a good read.
Cheers, Guardians!
A pleasure my friend
A Spring Knife is the original, and more correct way of describing a slipjoint, a term which I doubt is more than a couple of decades old. It was in use from when the mechanism was first introduced
Lambsfoot , cool drink and a good book. It looks like life is good.Wishing you all some peace and relaxation this weekend. Perhaps with a cold drink...

This was a fantastic Avocado!
Good afternoon Guardians! I thought I’d better report in. Been a little busy, and it seems my drink of choice my not be the same as yours.
Thanks for clearing up the Spring Knife thing for me. I should have figured that one out ...
My new Lambsfoot slogan, " You don't need to know why, just use it!"

That'[s a nice pic, some great-looking stag, and a very fine pocket slip Looks like we will be having some beef burgundy (or bourguignon depending on where you are from) tonight. Just need to add the mushrooms and a little thickener.
That's a very nice bonus photo Barrett!
If I had to guess I’d say Rosewood, but I really don’t know. What I do know is that it looks pretty darn good! I think it’s slowly become one of my favorite non-SFO Lambsfoot knives.
Yes, me too Barrett, and I'm enjoying the Nut Brown Ale right now. Brown Ale is most popular in the British North East, where it is a staple of life. It's popularity begins to fade against you move away from the River Tyne, but it enjoys a quiet following elsewhere. I drank a lot of Brown Ale as a teenager, when a lot of draught ale was of variable quality, both on its own, and as a 50-50 'mix' with bitter. Sam Smith's I consider of much higher quality than the market leader here, and it's a rich and flavoursome pint, well-balanced, with just a hint of sweetness, and plenty of complex flavours
I'll be saving the Stingo until last myself Barrett. It's expensive here too, and not that easy to get hold of, even in Sam Smith's pubs - little wonder as it costs about £10 a pint, many times more than the cost of the bitter
Great pic Barrett!
Aye, or in pints. How many pints is that trunk? How many square pints is that house? How many pints does that fridge cost?
Just the other day I was thinking about my air-conditioning replacement in terms of how many GEC knives it was going to cost.
I must admit though, I've never actually had one.
And one from the Harewood Arms
Don't think this test is very accurate. Or maybe I don't talk right.
Did your parents/grandparents live in Texas most of their lives, or did they come from elsewhere?
I'm a fifth generation Corpus Christian. I do know that one one of my great, great grandfathers came from New York (Irish) and another from Canada (English), but I have mostly Mexican (Spanish, Portuguese, Indian) heritage.That’s interesting! Most of the results I’ve seen from that test seems pretty accurate, but I’m sure it’s not perfect. I can see where your part of Texas could have some similarities to Louisiana or Mississippi, but I don’t know about that New York hotspot!
At least it happened here in MN and not when we lived in Arizona!

Now nobody believes that is Gatorade for a minute Ron
Finally got around to taking the dialect quiz...
This is scary accurate!
I spent my "formative years", ages 18 to 21, in Scottsdale/Phoenix.
(From my experience, it seemed like at least half of the people I met in Arizona were from somewhere else.)

For New York I think it was my response to the pronunciation of "Mary", "merry", and "marry".
That's what I'm looking for next!I went with the Nut Brown Ale tonight.
Thanks Jack! Kind of an embarrassing question, but do you happen to know what the wood on that one is? I know it was a gift from you, but I had to go back through some photos to see when you gave it to me; it was when I came to Sheffield. I’m sure you told me at the time, but I can’t remember to save my life!
The Newcastle one dominates the market here, but I think there are better ones I wonder if anyone’s ever added some Henderson’s to a pint of Sam Smith’s? Sort of like a Yorkshire Michelada!
My first Sam Smith’s selection today is the Taddy Porter. I think my biggest takeaway from their beers so far is that each one tastes like a good example of what it’s particular style should taste like. The Pale Ale taste exactly like what you’d want in a good English Pale Ale. The Lager is a solid Lager. And this Porter like I’d expect a good Porter to taste.
Great pic I went with the Nut Brown Ale tonight.
Cheers Barrett
