Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

I’ve let the old gentleman out for a breath of fresh air! Y’all have a great day!

A venerable old chap Ron

I wish I'd been able to get out for some fresh air myself today, spent the whole day waiting in for a delivery which hasn't come again. They're not answering the phone, and when I tried contacting them via their website, I received an email informing me I'd receive a reply within 3 working days

 

[Pt-Luso]

Desirable duo of lambsfoot knives, José!

Thank you very much, Gary.

I hope it isn't a beer delivery!

No, not this time Jer. Nothing urgent, but, at the very least, it'll mean another day waiting in

Driving for more than an hour causes it to flare up quite drastically, though.

Same here.
My wife wants to take a bunch of trips, but she doesn't fully understand what it does to me.

Maybe online learning is more superficial and/or temporary than usual classroom instruction

Proving once again that the "experts" have no clue.
Perhaps this bout of quarantine learning will help reshape our learning system.

I used to use the early morning hours to do non-work-related stuff, and save "work" for the office

I can't do any extra work at school, too many things/people begging for my attention.

That's so frustrating. They know they have us hostage.

 

[Modoc ED]

Keeping it simple this morning.

I nominate Meako because To the best of my information and belief, he has no lambsfoot, he's sure to want to use it, and he would never sell it on.
@meako will let us know if I've mis-scryed any of that.

Thanks mate, just seems to be part of modern life

Looking good Ed

Sorry Jer, too late, and we're still short of the minimum

 

[screened porch]

Oh, well. I did actually read the GAW rules back when. I'm glad I didn't damage Meako's chances by jumping on his bandwagon too late.

On the rare occasions I do succeed in jumping on a bandwagon, it's usually because the band have been reduced to eating their horses and the wagon is stationary.
In such cases you want to jump off again before they resort to cannibalism.

Fabulous photo of your Charlie Lamb Harvey

Thank you Jack. A shame that decision makers are ignorant of the full value of preserving local treasures. Every one loses. Also sorry for your vexing delivery issues. If I was there, I’d buy you a pint or two.

Perhaps I can volunteer for the Biscuit Brigade:

I stop for cookies and looks at your beautiful Valley Jack.

It’s interesting to see that it appears to have been sharpened with a file at some stage in its life.

Many thanks Chin. A stirling post with great images. Hope your current next phased opening is successful.

The stag on your CJLF is outstanding!!

Amazingly Charismatic AC, Harvey!

Thank you kindly, GT.

Good Afternoon Guardians

Thanks Jack! Sounds like a poor excuse for a delivery service! Good luck pal!

I should have realised I was flogging a dead horse when nobody entered in the first 24 hours Thanks to those who did enter, but I asked for a minimum dozen entrants, and we didn't get that, despite my frequent reminders That's a very nice bandwagon you have there Jer

Thank you my friend, the pubs are still closed here, but I still have some stocks in if you want to call round Stunning Lambsfoot brace there

Thanks Jack! Sounds like a poor excuse for a delivery service! Good luck pal!

Yes Ron, they're notorious here Thanks mate

Good day, Guardians.

Many apologies for my extended absence - I haven't had a lot of time to spend on the forums the last couple of weeks. Lots of stuff going on these days - from bird watching, to gardening, to house upkeep, to puppy care - I am keeping myself pretty well occupied. I always have a Lambsfoot regardless.

I hope you all are keeping well.

Sounds like you're keeping busy Dylan, thanks for stoppping by Nice patina forming on your WCLF

 

[rockman0]

Thanks Gary

If they were MY knives, I'd certainly not tire of seeing them often, and my opinion is basically the same even when they're YOUR knives, Rob!

Looks like a spry old gentlemen Ron

Simply beautiful horn Ed

Thank you posting this too! It's just what I had in mind

That was my dad’s favorite movie.

You should check out thel series they made called Spaced ...brilliant...not about space
Also whilst yer at it...Hyperdrive....a pinnacle of British comedy imo...and actually set in space...sort of Star Trek crashes into Dr Who and Blakes 7....(tv announcer voice) With Hilaaarious Results. Also Big Train.

I’ve seen Spaced. It’s been a few years, but I remember enjoying it. I’ll have to look up the others.

Although I'm not an officer in the Guardians of the Lambsfoot, I'm certainly willing, and I hope the photos that follow indicate that I'm also able, to serve in some of the special operations affiliated with the Guardians.

Perhaps I can volunteer for the Biscuit Brigade:

Or if the Colander Company needs reinforcements, maybe I can serve:

Thanks for making me laugh, GT! Great photos!

Ambrosia??


That's less than ideal, John.
I've had chronic sciatica for decades, but I can usually keep it under control with exercises and heat. Driving for more than an hour causes it to flare up quite drastically, though.


Thanks for the interesting info, John. I'd never heard that story before.


Thanks for the compliment on my Union Jack pic, John, and for the diagnosis on the deformed treats.
My students (ignoring the confessed collaborators) did very well on the two "unit tests" I gave after the move to online learning, but their performance on the cumulative final exam was worse than that of students in the many other times I've taught this course. Maybe online learning is more superficial and/or temporary than usual classroom instruction, at least as delivered by me.


Interesting info. I wonder how much stuff we have in our house whose origins I can no longer remember; I'll bet there's a lot!


Thanks for the confirmation, Les. That quote is one of my favorites from the history of mathematics, with even Newton's "enemies" acknowledging his greatness.


Thanks, Jack. Another fine outdoor shot of your stag HHB!
Interesting info about the little libraries in your area. I don't think I've ever seen anyone looking in any of the one's I know about.


Thanks, José.






Bunch of handsome lambsfoot knives, Chuck and Bill and Rachel and Ron!


Thanks, David. Here's a link purporting to explain the difference between colanders and sieves: https://www.finecooking.com/article/sorting-out-strainers-colanders-vs-sieves
I said that I rarely refer to any device as a sieve, but I forgot about the Sieve of Eratosthenes for identifying prime numbers!


Having a productive routine is very admirable, John. I used to use the early morning hours to do non-work-related stuff, and save "work" for the office, but I'm still trying to figure out "work-flow" now that I'm banned from my office.


Thanks for the kind words, Chin, and for the Tree Fern info! Any idea what the "machine" is that Henry and Hector are standing next to in the bottom pic??


Thanks for first-hand impression of Bois Durci and for the pics of the impressive market, Jack! Glad I could reveal some of the "black magic" of the Forum software.


Nice Yorkshire Shrine, Randy!



Desirable duo of lambsfoot knives, José!


Excellent photo, Dave! Looks like the handles, rivets and all, were somehow separated from that colander; I think that's what I'd expect in a colander with missing handles. Mine without handles still has the rivets; it's difficult for me to imagine how the handles came off while leaving the rivets in the "bowl".

Valley Jack is my Lambsfoot this week:

GT, your Valley Jack is one sweet piece of equipment.
