Stunningly beautiful!

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

Those are always the most rewarding.

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 sounds pretty legit to me.

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!

Never underestimate a man given unlimited access to booze for which he doesn’t have to pay.

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

What a fantastic knife, Jack. Was 2017 the one where the swedge that was almost like a secondary sharpened edge?

I can't go cold coffee, I will have a glass of water on the side.

I only have it occasionally, but that’s also true of coffee in general. I drink it maybe a couple times a month.

Good morning all.
For the Marines..happy birthday to the Corp.View attachment 2385696

Another handsome K’roo, Bob. H herder and I were just talking about his knives today. What does Willem call that shield?

Day off school, so you know how I’m starting it. Way too predictable! View attachment 2385767

Great pic, Todd!

Day off. Not much going on. Got a nice pot roast going in a new kitchen contrapment that my wife had to have. Kind of seems like a regular ole crockpot to me ,but triple the cost. HHB at my side today. Hope everyone had a great day.

Your HHB’s looking good, Paul. Enjoy your new kitchen gadget.

Or she will tell me "Thats looks like a regular ole pocket knife ,but 5 times more expensive."

.....I would not dare complain to her about how much something she bought was to her face. That's what forums are for!!!!

My hobbies are 10x more expensive than hers.

Similar to what Mitch said, I usually get, “Don’t you already have one like that?”

I met up with H herder for lunch today at a local Mexican place. I had a birria quesadilla and Mexican beer.

The restaurant is just a few steps from Excelsior Bay/Lake Minnetonka. After lunch I walked down to the public dock to take a couple pics. I had my Katalox Albers Lamb with me today.

Hi Barrett
Looks like you and herder had a delicious meal to enjoy. Very nice lamb to be toting.

As to the shield, Willem calls it..MAMBA FANG. It compliments the build.

I hope you have many good memories of your friendship.

Thanks Mitch, rich folks used to live round here! My street's in a historic conservation area, and some of the streets are even wider. There's a back-street at the rear of the houses for the deliveries too! I don't have the whole house I'm afraid, but it still gives me 3 bedrooms. Some of the houses are even bigger, but the (mostly) old folks, who live in them, struggle to heat them, as they have large rooms, and high ceilings

There's an Indian guy who has a food van, in the market, and we sometimes get snacks from him. His potato bhajis are just like scallops!

Thanks David, wasn't bad Nice-looking IXL my friend

Thank you sir

You’ve probably already told us and I just missed it. What wood is that Kroo?

So I tackled the purple rain. It's 1 of those jobs 5 minutes later It's back not as bad though.

Very sorry to hear Leon.
I hope you have many good memories of your friendship.

Sorry to hear that, Leon. May he rest in peace.

Thankyou Gentleman. Big turn out at his funeral which says everything. Was just a good person.

Looks fantastic, glad you and Neal had a good meal. Hope we can do the same again at the badger show this year.

 

[mitch13]

Went out for coffee, was going to treat Kristy to meal out, she was tired. So we went with favourite Indian takeaway.

 

[Jack Black]

Will be glad to have things slow down a bit starting next week as I’ve been going 100 miles an hour for the past month or so. Thank you to everyone that has worn the uniform to defend their nation (yes, I understand we have vets here from more than just the US).

That's good news buddy, you've been working flat-out for a while now I'll join you in that sentiment, cool pic

Thanks Jack!

Those two will make good music together!

Thank you David

Afternoon Guardians! Ethan hanging out today.

True!

Thanks Barrett, I really enjoyed carrying it again I was hoping I could post a good photo of the swedge, but, strangely, I'm struggling to find one! Great for opening up shy pistachios!

Sorry to hear Kristy had to go in on a Saturday Mitch Hope you can spend a nice evening together

Good morning Guardians, it's bright and sunny here, but cold no doubt. It's Remembrance Day weekend, and today is called Armistice Day here, when, on the 11th hour of the 11th day, in November, the WW1 guns fell silent. The generals liked the symmetry, but after the ceasefire was agreed, a lot of men continued to needlessly lose their lives, including a miner from Leeds

The Sheffield Regiment was decimated on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Three of my great grandfathers, (two of whom were Irish), did not return from WW1, and the fourth, who had re-enlisted, was wounded. If the war had been a couple of years earlier, I might not be here. Here's a photo of my surviving grandfather, I hadn't known he was wounded until I was researching one of my grandfathers who didn't make it, and came across a press report, quite by chance.

Both my grandfathers made it through WW2, but of course many good, young men, from all over the world, didn't


Carrying my Needham Lamb today, it has an unusual feature

I'm going to be working all weekend, but I'll go into town for the two minute's silence we have here. Have a great weekend Guardians
