That’s really neat to see the global distribution of Guardians. I’m off traveling for a couple days, will have to send a pin when I return home. Hope everyone is having a good weekHope everyone has had a good dayI'm worn out!
For the past couple of hours I have been getting my stuff together for going away. With not having been anywhere for so long, you soon forget all the small bits and pieces that are useful to carry, and where they are, ear-plugs for instance, or a travel toothbrush. Even packing minimally, it soon mounts up, particularly with the weather being so changeable at the moment. You put in a camera, then you need spare batteries, a charger, spare SD card, cables, etc. I used to travel all the time, but not so much these past few years, and not at all since early 2020. I must remember to put a fresh edge on my Hartshead Barlow before Friday
I've enjoyed carrying this Rosewood model though, and I'll have to try to carry it again soon

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!Must be hard to keep your nose to the grindstone when the Sun says come out.
Congratulations on your milestone, Jack. It’s because, in large part, your many fine qualities. Consistency, patience, expertise, kindness, and sense of humor are some of the first that come to mind. I would be remiss to not say that the other Guardians and friends of the Guardians are equally a part of this rich stew. It is is my good fortune to humbly be a small part of the epic Guardians of The Lambfoot. Here’s to the next 3000.
Good Morning Guardians

It never went out of favour.If rosewood is making a comeback,
Great to see those two together Barrett
Thanks Pete, it's an SFO I remember fondly, as, compared to some of the others, getting it made was relatively trouble-free
