Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Angry Waiter]

Congratulations on an awesome Lamb buddy!

Thank you David.

Excellent addition, Pete. Congrats!

Thank you Barrett. The hunt took some time and effort but was totally worth it.

But is it from a gas station?

actually it is from a place called the “Palm” which is a restaurant in the front and an automotive body shop in the back.

That looks good Pete, but I think Paul likes his aged 3-4 days.

Looks quite tasty.

Thanks John. It delivered nicely.

That looks tasty Pete

Thank you Jack.

Some good looking patina on your Lambsfoot there, Charlie!

I often find it tagging along in my pocket, Barrett!!! Thanks!!!

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you, Jack.

Looks like a grand day ahead.

Any day without rain is a bonus in Yorkshire John!

Never heard the expression " Gave him the Scarborough" before. Is it a stern warning ?

I live on Scarborough Rd.

I had never heard it before I knew Tool Man Steve It is an authentic, old Yorkshire expression, but its use seems confined to North (York, Scarborough) and West (Leeds, Bradford) Yorkshire, rather than South Yorkshire (Sheffield, Barnsley). I'm not sure about East Yorkshire. However, generally, in Leeds, and certainly among Tool Man and his friends, it is completely misused. There are several tales behind the origin, the most common being that it relates to an incident where the castle was captured without warning by Thomas Stafford in 1557, who hoped to incite a revolt against Queen Mary I. There was also another incident during the English Civil War where, in 1642, Captain Browne Bushell and 40 seamen surprised the castle guard at night, and took control of it. A Scarborough Warning is basically to act without warning, to strike first and ask questions later. However, the way Tool Man and his friends, and others in Leeds, use it, is simply, as you say Steve, to give a stern warning! That's cool you live on Scarborough Rd

Sounds like a good market day, I'm glad the weather was better for you

Thanks buddy, Tool Man addled a bit of brass too

Definitely! I had forgotten that the Curly Katalox was Eric’s first Lambsfoot. I missed out on that initial drop and only got this one recently off the exchange.

I'd forgotten that tool Barrett

There were multiple checkpoints, doors and wristbands to keep the commoners from accessing the fancy suites and free food.

Boo!

Those trees must be new, or William Holden and the Devil's Brigade would have been invisible and unpeltable as they scaled the not very impossible cliff.

When I lived in Arkansas, we used to go up to St. Louis for Cardinals baseball games every summer. My favorite section in their new stadium (built in 2006) was in the outfield and included all-you-can-eat/drink food (hot dogs, nachos, etc.) and beer with your ticket.

We sat there for one game that ended up having a 2 hour rain delay. Fortunately, that section is covered, so we just sat there and ate and drank until the rain stopped. Unfortunately, the rule is that they stop serving beer 2 1/2 hours after the scheduled game time, so after the rain stopped and the game started, we got cut off in the 2nd inning.

That sounded great, right up to the point where they cut you off!

When I used to write for national outdoor publications, I would often get invited on "facility trips", to swanky hotels, where me and my colleagues would be wined and dined, and unwind, and perhaps try out a new pair of boots or a Gore-Tex jacket, or something. In addition to some great food, there would always be a 'free bar', but the organisers would generally fail to take into account just how much some folks will drink in that situation. On one trip to the English Lake District, a handful of us sat up all night, drinking Rusty Nails. When we were all checking out, and the guy from the 'media liaison company', (who was a bit of a ), was settling the bill, he didn't have enough money to pay!

I did.

Only a few results for “dauphinois” (without the “e” on the end; I saw both spellings online and don’t really know which is right/better, as I never studied French). We make a similar dish at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we just call ‘em “scalloped potatoes.”

Yeah, they'd probably be called something like that in Northern England Barrett, where a 'scallop' or 'scalloped potato' is generally a thinly sliced piece of potato, fried, or used in a dish such as Lancashire Hotpot, which is really far too good for Yorkshire's rival county (though I've generally had it with beef rather than the traditional lamb)!

According to the internet, if you ask for one after noon in Italy, they’ll put you in the stocks.

Seems reasonable!

Thanks, Jack. The Katalox isn’t as eye-catching as the Afzelia Burl, but that also makes me less hesitant to put it to work, which is a plus.

It's a very handsome knife

The pocket slip was made by Lynch Leather for the Barlow Bearcat Club. The fact that the club logo consists of my initials is a nice bonus.

I think I've heard you say that before, if I'm not mistaken Nice coincidence

Cool pic Jer

Always enjoy the Market Report Jack.

Still on this one. A quick shot on the deck rail before leaving for work. View attachment 2384860

Thanks Todd, I hope you're having an equally good day

I often find it tagging along in my pocket, Barrett!!! Thanks!!!

As well you should Charlie!

Those trees must be new, or William Holden and the Devil's Brigade would have been invisiblle and unpeltable as they scaled the not very impossible cliff.

Yes, definitely, Jer, they'd have a good sousing in Paraquat in the olden days!

Sorry it's far from straightforward Steve

I'm thinking of carrying my 2017 Guardians SFO for Old Friends Friday tomorrow

Especially when it’s on someone else’s dime!



Yeah, I caught a bit of it in between beers and hot dogs. They had “real” food, too, but I failed to take a picture before tucking in. Steak au poivre (a bit dry, unfortunately), dauphinoise potatoes (delicious) and green beans. The hot dogs were my second course. And there was cheesecake for dessert!



That grain looks so cool in the sunlight!



Sounds like you’ve had your nose to grindstone, Jack. Hope things slow down for you.



Dang that looks tasty, Mitch!



Excellent addition, Pete. Congrats!



Gotta keep that beer fridge stocked!



Some good looking patina on your Lambsfoot there, Charlie!



Sounds like my kind of training!



Julie and I were watching an episode of The Great British Bake Off the other day where they were doing savory pies. There was one with dauphinoise potatoes and caramelized onions that sounded particularly good.

(This is definitely the only time I’ve ever mentioned dauphinoise potatoes twice in one post on here. Or once, for that matter.)



I’m kind of the same, Mitch. I like strong black coffee and/or espresso, but I also enjoy a cappuccino, and occasionally even an iced latte when it’s warm out. (I’m with Kristy, I don’t like to drink hot beverages when the weather’s hot.)



Hope they can turn things around before it’s too late.



Poor Ray.

Don’t have too much fun doing Tool Man’s job for him. I’ve heard a lot of talk about weaponized incompetence recently. Reminds me of someone.



I still need to deal with all our leaves, and I am not looking forward to it. I think I prefer shoveling snow.



But is it from a gas station?

This Katalox Albers has been giving my other Lambs some serious competition for pocket time lately.

Thanks mate it was tasty.
I can't go cold coffee, I will have a glass of water on the side.

Yeah!

Great pics Mitch

That looks tasty Pete

That's some sweet jigging Steve

Good afternoon Guardians, It's been a long time since I didn't get a chance to call in on my way to the market, but I I was rushing today, and then crammed in on the bus. The weather wasn't too bad though, here's my street on bin day

Tool Man was pleased to see me, and on his best behaviour, particularly after I gave him the Scarborough, first thing, telling him that he'd better behave himself, or he wouldn't be picking up his new suit! The market was quite busy, and we got a few callers, including Harry Hot Balls, Barry The Ted, Old Brian, Scooby, Slimline Scott, and Ex Para Steve, along with our new pal, Mr Brookes, a former Drill Sargent from Antigua, who we met last week We also had a visit with Copper Mark, who we've not seen for a few months, as he's been assigned to desk duties. Tool Man got his suit, and is very pleased with it He tried on the jacket, but wouldn't let me take a photo as he wasn't properly dressed up. "Not in civvies," he said Ex Para Steve also had a suit to collect, a blue velvet dinner suit, for when he sits at the captain's table on his upcoming Caribbean cruise with the missus. When he told me the eye-watering cost, I told him it sounded like a lot to spend for a night eating fish fingers!

A mate of mine got married in blue velvet in the 1970's It's not something I could ever see me wearing myself!

Good song, awful film!

I took a pastrami sandwich with me, as it would have been difficult to go into the indoor market for food, with Tool Man off at the tailors. I did pick up a cake though, along with some very nice ginger biscuits

We must be dropping too many cake crumbs, as some starlings have moved into the tool stall

Hope everyone is having a great day

Thanks Jack getting easier to open too
Nice street, good & wide could be an Aussie suburb. I must admit I was expecting something a bit more urban, 2 up 2 down narrow street

Someone say potato scallops yum

Isn't it nice that it's light enough now to take pictures before work.

That would be an excellent choice.
