Thanks John, we are playing a game in class today. There is a major construction project going on that is connecting the elementary school to our Jr. High and the jack hammers are making too much noise to do much else in class. View attachment 1925267View attachment 1925270
These were taken just out side my window.

Hope it doesn't go on too long Todd I remember when they were building a small extension right next to Stan Shaw's workshop, and it was absolute Bedlam for a month!

Very nice Mike.

The heavy demo stuff that’s going on today should be over by next week. Phase 1 of the project is scheduled to be completed in January. Phase 2 begins next summer.

Good morning Guardians or afternoon as it may be. Getting packed for a trip to Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. Should be a fine bus tour. I will not be packing my LF knives or any knives for that matter. Lost a nine knife during my last trip and won't chance it again. However, if I happen to see something in a shop whilst traveling....
Today I have my faithful HHB with me.

Hope it all goes to plan Todd

Sounds great Bill, I hope you have a fantastic time Look out for Gerlach knives in Poland (that's a brand, not a style)

Well... That's a little disruptive.
It's bad enough when the grounds keepers are mowing, but I couldn't begin to think how bad jackhammers would be. They need to schedule that stuff better, get it done in the Summer months.

I was really pleased to pick it up for a fiver Selling online for £320, and mine is parchment rather than paper

Beautiful map Jack. I've always had a weakness for maps.

Amen.

You too, Jack. You and your Barlow will sort out the good from the bad. That map was a wonderful find. On parchment, even.

Welcome back. That’s a fine Lambfoot.

Very fine image, John,

Good Morning Guardians

Wonderful image as always Harvey. What gorgeous horn! That looks like a miniature manhole cover.

May we all get to die peacefully, in our 90's, warm, and with few worries, surrounded by family.

Hear, hear!

I'm very pleased with the large framed map of Yorkshire that I acquired in the market last week Yorkshire looked very different in the early 17th century, with many of today's large towns and cities, mere villages, if that, while towns of historic significance, are minor towns or villages today. Sheffield (spelled in an early form, the town is named for the River Sheaf), is at the point of my Barlow

I was going to comment that at least the S in Sheffield/Sheaffeld looked like an S, and not like a lowercase f without the cross stroke, which you often see in old texts, but then I started looking around and noticed the s-that-looks-like-an-f in was used in Barnsley and some other towns on your map. Anyways, I’ve now read up a bit know that it’s called a long s, and is an old form of the lowercase letter s, but not the uppercase.

Beautiful Ironwood, Barrett.

Lovely photo of your 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot Barrett, that was some nice Ironwood we got wasn't it?

Thanks, guys. It certainly was, Jack.

I managed to complete a longstanding mission earlier, to find a Curly Wurly for btb01 Barrett's daughter Eleanor A fraction of the size they were when I was a kid, but hopefully the quantity will make up for that!

Hey, they do still exist!

Hope it doesn't go on too long Todd I remember when they were building a small extension right next to Stan Shaw's workshop, and it was absolute Bedlam for a month!

Only a month? Were they going for some sort of construction speed record?

Sounds like fun, Bill, enjoy your trip!

If any of us are going to make it to our 90’s, we’d better follow waynorth Charlie’s advice…

Beautiful map Jack. I've always had a weakness for maps.

Thank you very much Dwight, me too, though this will be the first map I have had on my wall since I was a boy. I have scores of them, and love to study them, they have given me so pleasure over the years I walked the moors and mountains - and now the canals, valleys, and the odd hillock!

What a language eh?! You should how the spelled tomato Barrett!

Hey, they do still exist!

They obviously think they can still get money out of the name! I'll get a package off to you before Halloween my friend Let me know if there are any other requests

Only a month? Were they going for some sort of construction speed record?

LOL!

I enjoyed doing nothing this morning. I took a picture of some morning glories. I finally perceived these flowers close up in the afternoon hence the name. I felt less dense when talking to a gardening friend who was also as unobservant. Enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend.

Cheers mates
EDIT ----------- BY THE WAY has anyone heard from José Pinto lately??????

No, have not. Was silently wondering the same thing. Hope José is doing well.
