I hope your wife heals quickly. Until then, it sounds like she's in good hands. Love your AC by the way. 🤠 :thumbsup:

Oh yes, Thunderbird... The first choice of winos and hobos the world over. 🤣

LOL! :D Yeah, I have never tasted it fortunately, I was in my 30's before it appeared here. Ugh! 😝 A drink that is popular in Scotland and Ireland is Buckfast, made by monks, drunk by skunks! I'm glad never to have drank that either, it seems to send people a bit crazy :eek:

Lol, I had the pleasure of getting drunk off of a Buck Fast with a Scottish friend of mine. He had one of his friends bring a bottle to the state side while we were working in NY.

The story goes, which I don't remember, I was sitting slouched over, eyes closed and his friend came over and asked if all was okay. Evidently, I said something to the effect of, "If you hang around long enough, you'll see that this is a common occurrence for THE Ken..." that was like twenty years ago and my buddy never lets me live that one down, lol

As far as I'm concerned, it's a lie 🤣

Haven't pictured this one in a little while, but never forgotten...

I hope your wife heals quickly Joshua, that sounds unpleasant. I broke a tendon in one of my fingers some years back, and, since I live alone, it was a frustrating time. It's great to see your AC my friend :) :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack and John. I did a little kitchen knife sharpening last night and had the AC with me, so I just put a little freshening on its edge as well.

Taking care of my wife today as she’s recovering from thumb surgery to repair a detached ligament with a bone fragment still attached. Pins and weeks of recovery, but she should be fully healed when all is said and done.

Here’s to a great outcome, soonest. Fine image.

Just back from a walk on the beach with the family.
Brought along my faithful companion and inspiration to become active in the Porch trough the the Guardians 😊
It was 3 years ago that I brought it along to PEI and started sharing its pics.
Sadly its spring is broken now but it remains just as special 😊

I couldn't decide between my Usual Lamb and my Horn Big 'Un, so they are both getting carried today.

A double treat.

This wonderful swayback lambsfoot SFO made by A. Wright & Son made it to me from the U.K. just the other day. It was a gift from the ever generous Jack Black Jack Black . Beautiful rosewood(?) covers, and the best fit and finish I've ever seen on a Sheffield knife that I have personally handled. Superb! I am absolutely honored to be adding this knife to my collection. Thank you Jack

That is a gorgeous lamb. I love the super dark scales.

That's hilarious Ken :D In Ireland, the 'Bucky' is weaker, so they smuggle it down from the North, where the original is sold :D Most folks I know have a story about the stuff. Thankfully, mine are all second-hand! 🤣 I used to do bars at big music festivals 20 years ago, so when some friends of mine were having a large joint 40th birthday party, they asked if I would run the bar for them. The party lasted several days, and about 500 people were there, so I obviously needed some help. Various people volunteered to help out for a few hours, including a pleasant young couple. I had met him before, but not his girlfriend, who was quite demure, very polite, and well-spoken. She mentioned that she had never had Buckfast before, and had brought a bottle along to give it a try. Well, it seems she drank the lot, and when she turned up to work the bar, she looked like a different person. Her boyfriend was having to physically hold her up, she was scowling, and looked absolutely crazy. She couldn't even speak, apart from some deranged-sounding wails and grunts. When I patiently explained that I wouldn't be able to let her work behind the bar, she started screaming abuse, tried to attack me, and had to be dragged away, issuing threats, by her very embarrassed boyfriend, who was apologising as quickly and profusely as he could! :eek: The next day, the poor girl turned up, shame-faced, and apologising even more than her boyfriend :D I thought that's an experience I can do without :D :thumbsup:

Now THAT"S a PARTY!!!

Well, in my scenario, there were no mention of any violence lol. What a story!
Click to expand...
Yes, it was quite an event :)

I think I was at least 100 pounds heavier than her, but she did have special Bucky powers! :eek: 🤣 Thankfully, the only thing injured was the young girl's pride, and I would bet that she still remembers her encounter with the stuff! :D :thumbsup:

I thought you were joking about the pole vault practice, until I saw John's post, Todd! :D Hope you're having a nice afternoon with your Lamb :) :thumbsup:

I took this picture of my "Big-un" three years ago. If I went out to where I took this picture, everything would look/be exactly as shown except that the "Big-un" covers are darker from handling with oily hands and there is now a patina on the blade.

Lol... Not the same as the Super Soldier stuff. 🤣

🤣 :thumbsup:

That reminds me of a comic character called 'The Brown Bottle' (might not translate)! :D There are some YouTube videos, but they're a bit er...spicy! 🤣 :thumbsup:

Barry Brown (aka Brown Bottle) is a character from the Viz comic.
Barry is a reporter and a bank clerk who thinks he becomes a superhero when he is drunk on Newcastle Brown Ale. In reality, all that happens is that he becomes viciously drunk and passes out, but the twist in the story is that he manages to save the day anyway, by sheer accident.
