Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Same here Vince :) When I was young, I enjoyed hard, physical labour, but I'm glad I don't have to do it at (nearly) 60. They've pushed the state retirement age to 67 here now, and it's going to 68 soon. That's no age to be doing a physically-demanding job :eek:

Good Morning Guardians :) I always refer to my current aches and pains as my youth that has come back to haunt me. I played a lot of sports, did a lot of physical labor (including a summer stint as a ditch digger).
I've reached retirement age so it was time to go in for repair. I manage my back OK, but my knees...not so much. SO...with the COVID lockdowns, I figured it was good a time as any to Rehab a knee.
October 30th, I had my Right Knee replaced. I'm a little over 5 weeks Post-Op. Rehab is going well and the knee is feeling much better. Here's a Xray photo w/ Lambsfoot content at Post-op appt showing 35 staples.
Modern Medical technology is amazing :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, hope everyone is doing OK. Got plans to meet up with a pal for a socially-distanced walk in the park this afternoon, so I hope my back frees up a bit this morning :rolleyes: Have a good day, and be careful out there :thumbsup:

Hope you have an enjoyable hike today Jack. Also, hope that your back is better today. Nice shot of your HHB:D

Good morning Guardians and all. Haircut day. Hope their shears are as sharp as my HHB:D

I know what you mean George, I always wonder if I wouldn't be in better shape now if I had spent my youth sitting around watching TV, instead of running and playing sports! o_O You just can't win can you?! o_O I'm glad to hear rehab on your knee is going well :) Cool pic there :cool: I have a scar right across my knee from when when I steel rod was inserted into my tibia. When I went to get the staples out, the nurse had to go find the staple remover, which looked just like you'd find in an office :D She told me that nobody used staples apart from 'the leg guys', as all their patients are unconscious :rolleyes: Good luck for the future George :) :thumbsup:

Thanks Bill, in the end we didn't go for a hike as there wasn't time, but my friend came round to see me, and we had an enjoyable afternoon sat round a fire in my back garden, sipping beer, while the rain beat down on our umbrellas! :D Thanks a lot buddy :) Haircut Day here too, though I had to do it myself :rolleyes: Your Hartshead Barlow is looking good my friend :) :thumbsup:

Here is a fine old chap that is over 100 years old and marked "Blyde".
The Sheffield firm of "John Blyde" was established in 1841 and according to Tweedale's wonderful book, the company wrapped up production of pocket knives shortly after WWI and went strictly into manufacturing surgical scissors.
Unfortunately, like so many great Sheffield cutlery companies, they went out of business in the 1970s.

Love that WCLF Jack and it pairs so well with your HHB. Hoping that your back is doing better my friend.

Good morning Guardians and all. Hard frost last night but the sun is warming things up today. Got this with me today as I'm giving my HHB the day off.

Thank you very much Bill :) I'd hope my back would be back to normal by now, but it seems not :( Nice choice for a sunny day there :thumbsup:

Jack, hope your back improves shortly, i feel for you. Re previous posts, just been for a haircut, lovely young girl, pleasant and friendly. Clippers mainly, i just said whatever, i'll leave it up to you. In and out in LESS than 10 minutes, 11 quid. We are in the wrong caper, the old barbers would trim the back with a cut throat, and look and fuss and took about 20 minutes to half an hour depending on how much they wanted to chat.o_O:thumbsup::).
 
Good morning Guardians and all. Expecting to get a few packages today but the sad note is that I have to be vigilant as the "package thieves" are out and about stealing peoples deliveries.:eek: Got my HHB to open my boxes, break them down, etc.
