Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Modoc ED]

6 hours to go. . Just finished my last coffee, a small black expresso, had two black coffees this morning, now just water or some herbal tea. .

Good on ya Leon.

 

[bigfish64]

She's drop dead gorgeous Todd.

Thanks so much Dwight.

Toured Tom's Town Distillery this evening and had a great visit. Very interesting history of the city and distillery. I was forced to drink all of my taste tests and Cherri's too since she doesn't care for bourbon. And then there was vodka to test straight from the tap (170 proof) and several gins to test drive. Cherri says I was quite chatty toward the end. Wonderful place.

Looks like a lot of fun, glad you’re having a great time!

I was sitting in front of a place called Blade & Timber downtown KC. It's a bar where you can throw axes at a target. "What could go wrong?" is exactly what I was thinking!

I just cannot get over that burl. What a incredible beauty!

Thanks, Dwight! I am very impressed with the wood, particularly as I’d never heard of Afzelia before.

Dang, that sounds tough, but way to step up.

That’s great! Glad y’all are enjoying yourselves!

That’s a beautiful and special Lambsfoot, Ed! Sounds like a good trade.



Beautiful old Lamb, Steve. I love the warm bone and fancy bolsters!

Hope you’re enjoying this nice weather we’ve been getting. Yesterday I took the girls to a playground after school. Eleanor was wearing a t-shirt, shorts and sandals, and the shadier half of the playground still had a good bit of snow!

Your new Albers is looking good, Paul!



Dang, that knife has been around! It’s great that those can all still be accounted for amongst the Guardians.



What could go wrong?!



That looks like fun, Paul. Did they at least give you one of those handy little L-shaped hex wrenches to put it all together?



Interesting bit of info, Jack. The Sheffield cutlery industry is certainly unique (and fascinating).



“Chunky” is part of the impression I’ve generally got from many of their knives.



That’s too cool, Dwight!



Just make sure no one sneaks in while you’re taking a break and turns your Mega Desk into Quad Desk.

Having a little afternoon snack with my new Albers. (Ok, the Albers wasn’t really involved at all, it was just there.)

Thanks Barrett, I had the day off today and fully enjoyed the 80° weather

What could possibly go wrong. It's got stuff up written all over it. .

Jakeywax31 Looking forward to seeing your new sharpener when it arrives, and more particularly hearing your views on it.

Hello everyone.

Fine-looking Lamb Pete, hope your week is going well

I have a camera in my flip-phone but don't know how to use it much less move a picture from the phone to my computer or to Blade Forums so, I use an Olympus camera I bought in September 2000 and a second Olympus camera I bought sometime in 2005. That said, I don't try fancy-dancy things - just point and shoot maybe half a dozen times or so to get a decent, useable picture. For instance, my new to me Damascus, Stag, Lambfoot shows the Damascus pattern better in subdued light than bright light.

Don't bother trying to explain it to me. I probably wouldn't understand the whys of it anyway so, I'll just continue to plod along. Besides, this post is just an excuse to show off my new Damasca, Lambfoot knife again.

I think you've done a good job Ed I've struggled to capture the beauty of the Damascus, on half the photos I've taken, it just looks grey! I adopt a similar approach to yourself, taking half a dozen pics in the hope that one of them is half-decent!

Nice photo Jack, great looking stag.

Thank you kindly Todd

Thank y'all! Pint 'o salsa ready to eat.

Looks delicious Michael, great pics

Last few rays of sunshine are really lighting up my new lamb. View attachment 2149563

I'm hoping that you're all done and dusted by now mate, and that all has gone well Tool Man had to undergo a similar period of fasting recently, and it nearly killed him! I know you are made of stronger stuff!

It was fascinating my friend. As a matter of fact Kansas City is quite an impressive metropolis. We're gonna have to make several visits.

Sounds fantastic Dwight, it sounds like you're already planning your next Kansas City trip

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing well, particularly our friend cudgee It looks like a nice day here, but I have to wait in this morning, for a couple of packages coming. Then I'll be heading into town, for another go at getting my prescription I'm hoping that my deliveries come in time for me to get lunch in town Have a good day Guardians, carrying my Hartshead Barlow for the first time this week

Just having my first bite to eat, some good cheese, olives and some pickled cucumbers. I have some lamb chops, eggs and some kimchi to follow. Actually did it on my ear, could have gone another 12 hours. Have given all the results to my girl and she is going to go over them and get back to me when i have eaten. She said i deserved to have something to eat in peace.

Great to hear Leon, that sounds like a healthy repast too Hope your results are as positive as you are mate

 

[Jack Black]

I'm just having a few medjoul dates with my morning coffee These are delicious, but I bought some, by weight, yesterday, which might have been the best I've ever had, so I'll be picking up a few more this afternoon

Looks like a great jar of happiness with a great lamb Michael.

Thanks a lot Bill, from one of my walks last week

Thank you my friend, they certainly are

Hope you have better luck getting your prescription today, Jack.

Thanks Jeremy, true to form, they told me I could pick it up at 12, but when I called in at 1pm, they told me it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow! My trip to town wasn't entirely wasted, as I met up with a friend for lunch in the market



After lunch, and taking care of a few errands, I called in at a large book shop, and decided to have a coffee at the small cafe in there. While I was waiting for my Americano to be made, I noticed this rather bizarre display on top of the counter!



Considering the bread they use for their vastly overpriced toast looks pretty rotten, I found it even more weird, and remarked to the tween manager that I had never seen a display like that before I was surprised when he was defensive, saying, "Well we've got it all written up on the board, but a lot of people can't read."
"What, in a bookshop?!"
At least they know to avoid the toast!

 

[Jakeywax31]

Hope your new work schedule suits you my friend. Good luck with those desks.

Still getting used to being off during the week. The desks are complete. There may have been one or two curse words released during the process.

You captured that lamb perfectly, Todd

Me too, Leon. Been looking at them for months and finally said the hell with it and ordered it. Thanks for your help my friend.
