Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Another beautiful day. Probably time to clean the eaves and "rigidize" the blanket in my new propane forge.

 

I look for barbers WAY older than me. I like the clippers on back and sides, scissors on top, and a nice shave of the neck with a straight razor. I used to like when barbers put some hair tonic on at the end. 20 to 30 minutes is perfect. Preferably 30. I'd feel cheated with a 10-minute haircut!
Gonna get harder to find old barbers though. I think my current one is about 80.

 

I like your theory and thinking, unfortunately for me though i am at the age where most people older than me are also retired.

 

Just five years difference between you and me. Some barbers like to work way past retirement age. My last one I had to quit going to. I think he's near 90, but he was cutting me with the razor almost every visit, and his hands were shaking! Also, I don't think he could work the scissors anymore. He should have retired several years ago. Nice guy, but I want to keep my blood!

How about some lambsfoot content:

 

THAT my friend, is a great Knife! Nice Blyde there Herder!

Hope your Back gets Better Jack, nothing is worse my friend, I just went for my first treatment on my Hip today- I have spent a few nights having to sleep in the Armchair it's been that bad - beat it up as a younger guy -paying the price now!

Osteopath or Acupuncture yet?

 

Fantastic photos, Jack! That first one reminds me (as photos of the British countryside often do) of some of the excellent wide shots in Detectorists.

(I had quoted your subsequent photo post, as well, but got an error saying my post had too many photos. There was some great stuff in there, too!)

Sorry to hear about your back. Hope it feels better soon!

Speaking of sinks, Jack, I just spent the last few minutes reading up on why y’all have separate hot and cold taps over there (a question to which I never got a satisfactory answer when we were there… not that I went around asking everyone).

A good idea for Whataburger, but a great idea for the pub!

I’ve posted this photo here before, but since I finally opened this bottle earlier this evening, and this photo happens to feature two fine Lambsfoot knives, I thought I’d post it here again.

 

Stunning pictures and a lovely looking ebony lambfoot, too.

I hope you are fully operational soon. I always remember my father's advice that, translated, goes something like "Through sport towards permanent invalidity!" and do no sports. So much so that I don't even watch any. Let's see if that pays off.



This thread is a behemoth and a bear to navigate. Can anyone point me to some information on upcomming SFO for a lambfoot by A. Wright and sons and how to get on board?

 

Not a surprise. I'm myself going mad, without wearing a welder equipment, just at turning on the tv. I hear incomprehensible voices from the current civilization living on the surface of the earth. But i don't care enough to write a book.

30 minutes for a haircut! For me it's 7 minutes, no more. Clipper ruled at 9 millimeters and it will be like that. Well, i've never been very pretty.

Good call, Jack!

You have to have it longer on top than the back and sides, so you can grease it and comb it back like Elvis or James Dean!

Recent pic:

May read this yet again. Nice distraction from the craziness.

 

Hope you feel better soon Jack !
Is your usual Saturday hike on the calendar for tomorrow ?

I enjoyed that illustration , a picture is worth a thousand words !

Thank you

Gracias Jack

I'd say you go for the unbeatable squirrel girl instead !
She is the real deal Jack !!!

 

I read that wiki article earlier, when you mentioned the "Shaver Mystery". That's some wild stuff; please let me know if it's an entertaining read, or just mad ramblings. I used to find wild tales and crazy conspiracies entertaining. I've come to realize that no matter how insane a story you tell, there will be quite a few people ready to believe it. "Hook, line and sinker" as we say around here.

Happy Hanukkah, to Guardians and friends!
