Great to see your ebony 2018 Jer
Beautiful photo of your great HHB Lambsfoot knife Jack. Really like how the rust colors and darker shades of the background compliment the colors of the stag covers.
Another fine photo Jack of your HHB. Your storm sounds horrid. Hope you don't suffer any damage. We have been getting some snow - something that rarely happens here where I live. I expect it all to be gone by later on this morning but who knows?
Thank you for the kind words Bill

It's certainly been a blowy day, and the wind has been cold too. Lots of big branches down, but nothing else, so far, where I am, thankfully. I expect a few folks have lost slates off their rooves. It's worse
further north
Today I'll be having my Ebony in the pocket.

Magical photo my friend, that's a beautiful spot

Strong showing for Ebony today
Welcome to my world.
My back doesn't let me sleep in much past 4:00 every day.
That's rotten John
Hope you are still able to get out to the antique stores, despite the weather.
Thanks buddy, I had a pretty good day despite the weather
I don’t know Jack, that sounds like a quite a storm to me, hopefully you won’t have any damage.

62,000 still without power in Scotland Todd

Thank you my friend, nice to see your Pere David Lamb
Good Morning Guardians
It's finally the weekend and I'm glad of it.
Going to catch up on a few yard chores and then go out shopping with my wife.
I'm getting excited about the house remodel, even though it's going to take almost a year to be complete.
My wife also agreed to let me buy a travel trailer so we have something to cook in while the kitchen is tore apart.
I've been wanting a trailer for a while now, mostly because my back doesn't like sleeping on the ground any more.
Lastly, we are going to put in an outside kitchen, complete with pellet smoker, gas grill, bar seating, and big screen TV.
That gives me a lot of exciting stuff to look forward to in the next year, so that should keep me going through another school year.
You folks are busy beavers when it comes to your homes!

Sounds like a pretty good project John, keep us posted
Sorry for the lengthy update, here's my Lambsfoot for the day, same as yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, and...
Good as ever my friend
Hope everyone is having a great day

I called in for a coffee and a croissant in my local cafe, before catching the bus to Harrogate, which has to be one of the most scenic journeys in Yorkshire - spectacular countryside, deer, red kites, all sorts of other wildlife, a castle, and you get a great view from the top deck
My first call was the antique centre, where I picked up this old gas-fitters tool. I knew what it was because I was asked to research one for someone a few years back.
Here's some examples from 1911.
Orvis are closing down their UK clothing stores, so I called into the Harrogate branch, and picked up a comfortable bush shirt. I was going to buy a Barbour pullover, but they were less than half as thick as the one I bought from there a few years back
I was hoping to get an all-day breakfast somewhere, but Harrogate is a swanky place, and all the restaurants and eateries were packed anyway. I settled for a takeaway snack, and then called into my favourite Harrogate watering-hole for a pint, before returning home
