Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

yBhumG4.jpg

I've skipped my exercises two days in a row. Time to remember that I'm lucky I can exercise, and that I want to keep it that way.
 
Sun is out and it's warming up a bit. Hopefully the white stuff melts in short order. Got some stuff to do around the house so don't think I will be heading out today. Got the Charlie lamb in the pocket just in case an apple needs slayed or I need to open a knife package or two 😀. Have a great day Guardians.

That's crazy weather Paul! :eek: Seems you're not alone in getting those kind of weather variations! o_O It's been a bit like here too, but just less extreme! :D Great to see your '19 buddy :) :thumbsup:

We got it pretty good up here. Should have some better weather coming up. Thanks again for the '19. It is my new Sunday lamb after the stag departed to Ed.

Thanks Paul, I've just been watching a couple of movies, but then my door-bell went. Since it was after 9pm, and I wasn't expecting anyone, I wondered who it was. I have a posh old couple, John and Bridget, live a few doors up from me, and it turned out it was Bridget, who is well into her 70's. She had her lap-top with her, and was wanting me to send an email for her. I've never even seen her take a drink before, including at her Golden wedding anniversary party, but had clearly had a few glasses of wine after dinner, as she was staggering a bit, with flushed cheeks, and slurred speech. It seemed an odd time to come round, when her son and his family, including her adult grandkids, who are better equipped to show her how to use her laptop than I am, live just at the bottom of the street :rolleyes:

Sounds like an interesting night. Not everyday do you get a drunk old lady with email troubles come knocking on your door at night.

Alright, here is a rant for the day, good and bad. Just got home from the gym and catching up on the Guardians and other threads while i'm having a coffee. And here is the really good, the " Guardians of the Lambsfoot " is a civil and great place to connect with like minded knife collectors and users. And here is the bad, went to the 2023 Oregon Knife show thread to see any photos that may have been posted. Has it turned into a bunfight, the amount of sniping going on, how you can turn a thread about attending and posting photos of a knife show into what could be deemed unpleasant at best is beyond me. End of rant. 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 Thought i had better post a photo of a piece of cutlery to at least look like i'm trying to stay on track. 🤣🤣🤣;). Have a good evening everyone, allowing for the time difference. :thumbsup:🤠.

A good rant my friend. Bob is right about people being legends in their own mind. Beautiful lamb my friend.

Glad you have come to like that guy. Great picture, Todd.

13 inches?! Y’all got it a lot worst over there than we did. We had maybe 4 or 5 inches yesterday, but it’s almost all melted already.

It's starting to melt now. Hopefully it's gone soon.
Jack Black said:
Good morning Guardians, I hope you all wake up to some better weather today! It looks like quite a nice day here, and I plan on heading out shortly, I just need to run a few errands, and I'll probably call in at Charlie's ;) I haven't carried my AC for a while, so thought I'd give it a whirl today :D Have a great day Guardians :thumbsup:

Enjoy the weather, Jack. Sounds like a good game plan for the day topped off with that beautiful lamb in the pocket. Take care my friend.

Enjoy your day in town, Ed. Can't go wrong with an ebony lamb.
 
Good day to you Guardians! Hope that you are having a great one. Campbellclanman Campbellclanman hope that you are (re)settled and able to put your feet up soon.

I have hardly been on the last couple of days. This weather is proving to be worthy oponnent to my happiness 🤣 😂. Over the last 7 days it has been almost 90 degrees with wildfires popping up everywhere to today with 13 inches of snow and cold. If I missed any questions or responses, I apologize. Got the '19 in the pocket today. Have a great day everyone.

We can have big weather swings here but we seldom ever see the white stuff and certainly not in the same week as 90 degrees - that's some crazy stuff there! If your wife is anything like mine you should indeed be thankful -- my Texas gal's idea of chilly is anything less than 75. lol

Apart from the terrible speed of my internet connection, I'm having good day here in Yorkshire, the sun is shining, and after going round to my neighbours, I walked down to Charlie's for a coffee, and then hopped on a bus to town. The cherry blossoms are out, and I took a couple of photos of the trees opposite the bus-stop outside The Northern School of Contemporary Dance :) The second one shows the main road, and the view into town, about a mile from where I live. At one time, the whole road was lined with those sort of shops, almost all Jewish-owned. The skyline has changed massively, just in the past couple of years, with scores of high building being built in the city centre, primarily for student accommodation.

I had quite a bit to do in town, but got everything I needed, including a bottle of Frank's No1 Red Hot Sauce, as recommended by cudgee cudgee , and some elusive Jerusalem Artichokes for Hisham, proprietor of Charlie's Cafe :) I decided to have a spicy Banh Mi sandwich for lunch :) :thumbsup:

I headed back to Charlie's, to gift Hisham the prized artichokes, which he adores, but was previously unable to obtain, then walked back up the hill to Grumble Towers, stopping only to have a chat with my postman :)

Thanks for the street view! Lunch looks to have been yummy -- I love Banh Mi sandwiches! Good on ya to think of Hisham -- your generosity extends beyond knives which doesn't surprise anyone here I'm sure.

Pretty crazy swing indeed. She is a lifelong Texan that likes for it to be above 65. When I was stationed in Kansas, she would dress like an eskimo when it was 30-40.

Gotta watch out for those round windows. Strange things happen there.

LOL! :D I used to drink at a bar close to that place in Leeds, and from what I saw of the folks staying at that "art hostel", (which wasn't there long), there were some very strange things happening there! 🤣;):thumbsup:

Blimey! o_O My day could not have going better, when halfway through a post in the EDC thread, I glanced up to see a courier coming up my path with a package. Still wearing my reading glasses, I ran downstairs to get the door, stepped out to sign for the package, felt a gust of wind, and heard the door close behind me! :eek: Not only did I not have my keys, I didn't have my glasses, or more importantly my phone! 😖 I was still expecting another parcel, so waited a while, but the guy was late, and for all I knew wasn't going to show. My neighbours were sat out, so I told them the situation, and asked them to take my parcel. Wolfie has my spare keys, but without my phone there was no way to contact him, so dressed in a T-shirt, I walked a mile down to my mate Matt's house, as he has Wolfie's number. When I got to the house, Matt's wife was in, but Matt was at work until 5.00pm. She texted him, and he gave me a call on his wife's phone, when he finished work. Fortunately, he only works about a mile from where Wolfie lives, so he rang Wolfie, and headed round. I walked back home, to learn that for some reason the courier had refused to leave my parcel with my neighbours! I have to eat before 4.30pm, otherwise I get stomach problems, but by now it was after 5.30pm. Fortunately, Matt turned up before too long, and I was finally able to get in, and rustle up something to eat, but now I'm 3-4 hours behind with everything! I won't be making the same mistake in a hurry! :rolleyes:

That's a terrible turn for the day, Jack! Glad you got back into the house okay (smart of ya to have a spare set of keys elsewhere). Bummer about the second parcel too (insult added to injury!). Hope the late meal doesn't spoil your sleep. Take care!

It was all going so well too Michael! 😖 Thanks buddy, it's a good job I didn't have anything on the stove, or I'd have had to borrow some tools, and break in! :eek: I'm going to rotate my spare keys, when Wolfie first had them, he lived less than a mile away, but he's moved about 5 miles away now :rolleyes: Unfortunately, I'm probably going to suffer with reflux later :( :thumbsup:

Might have been too subtle with my feeble attempt at a pun. I posted a picture (albeit a Lego version) of the mansion belonging to Dr. Strange of comic book -- and now film -- fame.
Sorry about your misadventure. "Always keep a knife and your keys in your pocket" is a good motto! Well, maybe not. Hope you have a good evening, Jack. Heading to my son's tonight for bourbon and cigars, myself.

I may be slightly biased because of the origins of this wood, :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:, but only slightly 😂😂😂, but i think it is one of the best covers Eric has produced. But as i stated elsewhere this is Eric's finest drop just of covers. Your new addition is just one beautiful piece of cutlery, and is now part of American knife history. Congrats.
