Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Thank you, Barrett and Jack, I'm thrilled to have it. My other two lambs have names, but I haven't come up with one yet for the Albers.
Might just go with Gidge, for the wood of course.

I'm sure something will come to you Jeff :) Great pic buddy :) :thumbsup:
I will, Jack. Time to unwind for a few days.

I am too. Feel blessed to have it. I get the side eye from the people in my old office 😆 🤣 😂.
I can imagine! 🤣 😉:thumbsup:
Afternoon Guardians! It's the end of the work week and I'm tired. Ready for two days off. Looks like everyone has a good weekend going. 19 rode shotgun today. Happy trails! 🤠

Great way to spend a lazy day, and i have feeling in my waters that your Albers is strong favourite to become your favourite Lamb. 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰
Definitely could be a contender mate! ;) :D :thumbsup:
Thanks Jack. I've read through that thread several times. Thank you for the wealth of information in it! :thumbsup: 🤠

Sorry Wolfie only made it two rounds. Hope you found the couch and had a good days rest. Albers Lamb lookin good. :thumbsup:🤠
I'm glad it was of interest David :) Thank you my friend, unfortunately I rested a bit too much, and then couldn't sleep last night! 😵‍💫 :thumbsup:
We tried out a new place in Eden Prairie for dinner tonight. Eden Prairie — not to be confused with Eden Valley — might sound familiar if you’ve seen the third season of the Fargo series. 😉

Anyways, this place had an impressive (if somewhat expensive) list of bourbons, as well as a nice selection of beers. I had a “Taylor beer” from Prairie Artisan Ales that I hadn’t tried before called Vape Tricks. I’m a big fan of Prairie. They’re out of Oklahoma, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of their stuff available on draft here in MN before. They make some really interesting stuff, and this sour ale didn’t disappoint. It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite sours, New Belgium’s La Folie, which I haven’t had in a few years.

For dinner I had a burger called The Next Day. Hash browns, bacon, a fried egg, cheese and, in lieu of a regular bun, French toast.

My wife (who I should mention is a registered dietitian) ordered a PB&J burger with a donut for a bun. 🤣

There was an old movie where Mel Ferrer played the actor-manager of an extremely minor theater. He had a flat bottle in his inside jacket pocket all the time, and a long straw.
That kind of thing is not uncommon here Jer! :D I used to go in a bar in the city centre, where they didn't charge for soda water or lime and soda. After a few years, they started charging 20p for a pint of either, which upset a thoroughly unpleasant old man, who used to frequent the place. He would sit at a table, next to the bar, railing against the 'outrageous' charge, and being rude to the bar staff, while drinking lime and soda all day. Then one day, he fell off his chair, drunk as a skunk, and a near-empty vodka bottle rolled across the floor. Not only was he drinking his own booze, but he had had the cheek to rail against paying 20p for a glass, mixer, and ice! :confused:
 
I'll be going to Bulgaria in 10 days, and have a lot of stuff I need to do before then :eek: Hoping to get some rest while I'm there, and do a little light reading. This novel seems to be regarded as a modern Bulgarian classic ;) :thumbsup:

Regarding the nickel-silver, i did not thought it could be this color, in fact it's really between gold and silver, i guess it depend on the alloy.
Nickel silver is sometimes called "white brass". The alloy used has an effect, but most of it will get a brassy patina as it ages. If you rub it with a polishing cloth, it'll probably restore the silvery look.
Good looking either way, I say.

I think it has had a number of names over the years, another is 'German silver'. I always thought it was mainly brass, but apparently it's mainly copper, rather than brass 🧐:D Yes, I'd much rather have nickel silver than brass, which I'm not fond of at all :thumbsup:
 
Brass is a mix of copper and zinc (with a few trace elements); white brass (German silver, nickel silver, etc) is the same thing but with a higher proportion of zinc. It does not contain nickel or silver. If I recall correctly, brass is usually something like 80/20 copper/zinc, and white brass is more like 65/35.

Thanks for the info Tyson :) :thumbsup:

Yeah that's actually cool

I know what you mean Bill, I haven't even tried today, feels like a Sunday! :D Your Hartshead Barlow is looking as good as ever :) :thumbsup:
Thanks Jack. My HHB is my all time favorite but my Buck 301 that my departed father gave to me is very near and dear to my heart.

Good morning Guardians. Nice bright/sunny day this Sunday. Going out to a tree nursery and look for some trees and shrubs to plant in our yard. My HHB by my side.
