Think I'll stay put in south Texas!John, you are not missing out!when we walked to school, it was cold!
doing chores it was cold!,
although splitting wood when it was minus 40°c was a breeze the wood just popped open. I was secretly angry
with my Grandparents for settling in northern Canada instead of say California or Texas or anywhere in the deep South.
I don't blame you, my friend, I don't blame you at all.Think I'll stay put in south Texas!
My plan isn't Lambsfoot-exclusive, but they'll definitely be part of it. I'll post more about it (in an appropriate thread) in a couple days.![]()

Rachel, how much larger is the Big"un than the everyday lambsfoot?Jack Black only just now got a Big'un in rosewood?!? Well, it's about time. I thought, in solidarity, I'd carry mine today. Also, in solidarity, it seems my back has gone out, and I'm having trouble getting a picture to load.

Thanks. It only hurts when I bend.It's okay when I'm standing, it's the getting into standing position that's a problem. If I drop something on the floor, it will have to stay there.
