Hello to all!
So many superlative posts and photos!
Still handling too many things at the moment, but I am trying to get back to posting, and more importantly, hanging out with everyone.

Here is an elk that was across the road last evening, shedding his felt.

The table the knife is sitting on was made by my wife.
Have a great day/Friday!!

I have always enjoyed raw edged tables. Your wife chose a nice piece to work with.

Your cane is a work of art and is a nice supporting actor to your lamb

Nice Lamb. Those zinnias sure look nice.

So sweet! I was thinking of you all yesterday, with that big new candy store a drive away, and Curly Wurlies more easily available in Minnesota than in Leeds, you'll have to ask the girls what they want to try

Thanks, Jack. Scout’s always saying things that make us laugh. We usually pick up dinner on Thursdays because the girls have swim lessons late in the afternoon. Scout will usually get chocolate milk if she can, which nowadays usually comes in small individual plastic bottles. The brand they have at a lot of places has a cartoon cow on the front that’s dressed up as different things on each bottle (cowboy, astronaut, artist, etc.) Her favorite one has a top hat. Anyways, last night she got chocolate milk with her dinner, and the cow had a deerstalker cap and magnifying glass. I asked her, on a scale of 1 to 10, where the detective cow ranked. She answered, “Benedict Cumberbatch!”

Hope you have a productive trip to the market Bob I just got back from town, picked up a new hat for Barrett's daughter, Scout

Very kind of you, Jack. She’ll be excited to have her own.

I think “Yorkshire Rider” should be the name of waynorth ’s next SFO.

The wife got a new addition to the bathroom, it makes me laugh a little View attachment 2289732

Nice. We had this one in the guest bathroom at our previous house, but for some reason or other it never made it back up on the wall after we moved.

They seem hell-bent on destroying the local markets here, with many local towns, having already lost them. When I was a kid, there were coach trips to Leeds Market from other parts of the country. Now, it's barely worth getting on the bus to town

That’s a shame, Jack. It looks like Wells, which we visited on our first trip to the UK, still has their biweekly market going, so that’s good.

Might be due to the quality of the local constabulary.

I'm out of beer…

I've never eaten at McDonald's. I was in my mid 20's when they first opened a branch in Sheffield. It looked like a pretty rotten place to eat to me, but the clincher was this: I don't like mustard. I'll put up with it, but I don't enjoy it. But when McDonald's first opened here, the burgers came with a squirt of ketchup, and a squirt of mustard, no variation allowed. So, I thought, if that's how they're going to treat their customers, they can shove their (then, quite expensive) burgers, and I've not seen anything to change my opinion since, Now, they're very downmarket here, with people eating cheap junk food, with drug-deals going on, fights breaking out, and underpaid security staff on the doors. I wouldn't be caught dead eating in MacDonald's, and off-hand, I can't think of anyone I know who would eat there, even Tool Man!

Don’t like mustard?! It’s one of my favorite condiments. I have at least half a dozen different mustards in the house right now.

That’s interesting about McDonald’s there, and certainly different from here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not great, and there are several other fast food places I’d rather eat (though I try not to go to any of them too often), but most of the McDonald’s around here are at least clean and safe, and most of them have been recently updated.

The one thing they aren’t anymore, though, is cheap, which kind of defeats the purpose. My go-to broke-college-kid McDonald’s order was two double cheeseburgers and a large fry. I must’ve ordered it often enough, because I remember the exact total: $4.10. Now the same order is almost $12.

Oh no, this is how is starts, isn’t it? “Back in my day, a cheeseburger cost a nickel.”

A nice day off. Yard work in the morning and range and short game practice with Elijah in the afternoon. Got the green lamb today. Hope everyone had a great day.

That’s fantastic, Paul!

Have you ever heard of Waffle House?

I don’t think Waffle House (especially late night Waffle House) is something that really be understood unless experienced firsthand.

Morning
Today Jb lamb & 1 Another favourite. Bull horn handle & ebony shaft, the pot plant is another favourite Silver Swan.

Well guardians our journey has come to an end that was the last of the sticks I currently use. Until the next 1

I’ve been enjoying all the canes/walking sticks. I have a couple made by my grandmother’s brother. He used to sell/trade them at their family reunions, which were pretty big events, as my grandmother was the youngest of 13! They’re nothing fancy, but I’ll have to take a couple pics sometime.

Hope all you Guardians are looking forward to a good weekend. We’re heading to another baseball game tonight. I’ll have a Lambsfoot with me, but don’t know if I’ll be able to take any pics. (Knives under 3” are allowed, but taking pics can still be a bit awkward depending on where our seats are and how many people are around.)

I watched a video recently about something called the 9-9-9 challenge, where you eat one hot dog and drink one beer for every inning of the game — 9 innings, 9 hot dogs, 9 beers. I’m not sure what happens if the game goes into extra innings…

Of course! Adverts are all factual too.
I don't know some people

Could be my favourite knife covers so far. Great name, too: "Desert Ironwood". Seems like "ironwood is made for knives.

 

[Fodderwing]

That knife is amazing. I love the scratted covers. Are they ebony?

Thanks Joshua. It is scratted dyed camel bone made by Cosimo De Benedetto of Rome.

Here is an elk that was across the road last evening, shedding his felt

Beautiful image and another fantastic lamb.

Let it be so.

Yeah... about 4:30 am on a Sunday morning...

"We lived for three months in a rolled-up newspaper in a septic tank...."

I absolutely love that skit and watched it less than a week ago.

Same here ma’am.

...Oh... it's coming Pete, Rachel... it's coming... and hell's coming with it... on a dark horse... with fire from its nostrils... leaving scorched earth in its wake... galloping on undulating waves of ash... ... ... ok, ok.
