Sounds good Bill, nice stag there 😊👍
 
It appears my relentless taunting of the South Florida weather has prompted a response - in the form of on unseasonably early autumn cool front! 76⁰ and sunny today with 13 mph winds out of the southeast.

Weather this pleasant calls for Mammoth Lamb! 🦣

76 is definitely cool.

Most years, it's in the 90s (or above) on Halloween (and through Christmas...) - the kids trick-or-treat in cheap vinyl costumes and arrive home dehydrated, drenched in sweat, and with their treat sacks filled with empty wrappers and melted chocolate that was once candy.

You can tell if any of them had a hole in their bag because, the morning after, you'll often find little ant-encrusted puddles of chocolate on the sidewalk like a diminutive confectionary representation of the La Brea Tar Pits.
 
Five miles out of Leeds city centre, there's a place called Horsforth, which most folks think of as a suburb, but is actually a town in its own right. When I first moved to Leeds, 21 years ago now, I had reason to go there quite often, to places along the main road, which is lined with numerous independent businesses, with a couple of pubs, and several cafes. Until recently, I hadn't been to Horsforth in years, but while there about a month ago, I discovered that I only knew a small part of the town, and that the street I had taken for the High Street was not that at all.I have been looking to explore the place a bit more, and got the opportunity to do so today, when I met up with Eve, my ex's adult daughter. We meet up every couple of weeks for lunch, and had arranged to eat at a place we both like, in Horsforth, today. When we got there though, it was unexpectedly closed. Checking online, their website cited some sort of maintenance issue. We were both hungry, and since Eve knows Horsforth much better than me, I thought it would be a good opportunity to explore it a little further. Horsforth is big enough that it was worth driving to the High Street, which is lined with lots of independent businesses, with numerous cafes, and pubs. I'm not drinking at the moment, but had a look inside a couple of the pubs, and I think this will be a great destination for mine and Nobber Al's next pub crawl. We stopped for lunch at a very friendly cafe, where we ordered meatball sandwiches, and tea and cake for afters. The road continued for about a mile, with lots more interesting old pubs, and restaurants, before we had to climb back up the steep hill. I'm looking forward to visiting again :) :thumbsup:

Now that is a town I would gladly be part of Jack. 😃
 
Jack Black Jack Black was concerned that I was going to let my HHB get soft and lazy since I use it as my Sunday-go-to-meeting knife, but it cut lemons yesterday and apples today. It's still getting a bit of work in.

There was a very dark patina line along the edge before, but the lemons actually seem to have cleaned that off a bit. Patination is an ongoing process, not a final result.
