Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[cudgee]

Sad, but many do not know how to make change!!

And that is one of the most frightening things, these upwardly mobile young things go through their whole education without basic Arithmetic skills.

Fortunately, the Midwest snow is hitting 50+° weather here. So heavy rain and wind, but no shoveling.View attachment 2455568

The covers are striking on that lamb, Bob

Hello everyone.

Albers is looking great, Pete.

perhaps even going so far as to file off a few slivers of metal to aid in the deception A few nice Sheepsfoot blades have, sadly, been ruined as a result

Didn't stop me from getting the bonus pic of the day

You are tougher man than me, Steve. I have been outside for 45 seconds today. The time it takes me to get to the mailbox and back.

That green lamb is a most handsome piece of cutlery.

Thank you, Dwight. One of my favorites.

Thanks Paul.
Amazing how those old bones can move when needed.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks. The magic is still coming down.
I was going to go out and clear it again, but once a day will have to do. It's supposed to keep snowing all week and I need to pace myself.
The winter storm warning has been extended till tomorrow noon, so maybe church will be cancelled! I'll walk over in my snowmobile suit if it isn't. Got my poles all picked out.
I'll bet I could make some snowshoes out of pvc pipe and old fashioned lawn chair webbing!

Quick release bindings.

You're a snow veteran Jer

Cheers Jack !



Bloody hipsters glad your day was a good one !

Thanks mate

You had an interesting day, you hipster who knew
Way of the world pushing towards cahsless what annoys me is the charges attached.
Cash will be a bit longer, last year 1 of the major telcos went down for the day, chaos ensured, businesses couldn't use their tills or eftpos systems people had to use cash.
1 poor barber made the news because he had to close because he had no phone or till. Seriously a barber? I know I haven't had hair for a long time ButThey thrive on walk ins and cash!

LOL! There's still 2 Million people here without a bank account! When I was in Whitby last year, a storm crashed all the tills, and it was chaos. I had ducked into a pub, and the woman behind was panicking, and saying she couldn't serve me. "How about I pay you in cash, and you can keep the change?" It hadn't even occurred to her until then!

Cassie and I just got back from braving the cold again. Wind chill was brutal. They have a windchill adversary for -35-40° for overnight

Superb Steve, well done You brought home the bacon buddy!

Happy to report the snow has subsided and gone. The storm has left an ungodly chill in the air though. I will go ahead and keep my butt indoors. Watching some playoff football. Green lamb in the pocket today.

Smart move

Anyone who does not accept my cash, which by the way is still legal tender, see me walk out the door for the last time. I existed before all these places did and i shall continue to exist without them.

Thanks pal.

One of the most beautiful slip joints I've ever seen was a custom Todd Davison had for sale as a "lambsfoot". It wasn't ... but I so wanted it to be. I think I even pm'ed you about it Jack.

I remember it Dwight .A cutler only ought to make that kind of mistake once, if at all

Very handsome my friend

So true, they can't even do the most basic addition/subtraction! How is that even possible?!

Snakewood & buckle.
Yesterday I got out 1 of my prized possessions for another thread.
Years ago I used to do leather craft for people and kept it legitimate. Well any way 1 Christmas Kristy had this buckle made by Silversmith Mike Pardue out of Texas.
I've only worn it a couple of times just covered in wax. I've been thinking I should just use it? I reckon you blokes will say use it!
It's still pretty cool and goes with Snakewood

Nice capture Dwight. Gorgeous knife.

Albers is looking great, Pete.

Thanks Paul. Sending prayers for the Texan in the North. Cool green bone bad boy

 

[Angry Waiter]

Nice Albers !





Thanks buddy !

Thank you Steve, glad you got out for a walk even with the cold weather.

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

How long have you had that Lambsfoot for. ???

And

Sad, but many do not know how to make change!!

And what a rapid decline. I'm the eldest of 6, and my youngest sisters are a world apart from me.

Everyone is reliant on technology to think for them and with rubbish like tiktok and such have developed the attention span of a goldfish.

We're currently working with an advertising company to promote myself and another young agronomist. The marketing team we're using said our radio and video ads can't go beyond 20-30 seconds because people won't pay attention to anything longer than that anymore and will turn it off!

Great looking Lamb !

The trick is to get them to shovel and think it’s fun.

The problem I’ve found is when they’re young enough to still want to help, they’re rubbish at it, and when they’re old enough to do the job, they don’t want to. Scout was “helping” me shovel a bit of snow we got the other day, and I’d have been better off if she hadn’t. At one point I turned around and she was shoveling snow from the yard back into the driveway!

You are tougher man than me, Steve. I have been outside for 45 seconds today. The time it takes me to get to the mailbox and back.

Must’ve been expecting a new knife.

Reckon you know us well Mitch! Great-looking buckle I tend to keep my buckles simple, the last thing I want to do is draw attention to my waist!

Thanks Jack sounds like you had a great day minus the booster cashless pukes.

Yeah, could have done without that, but it didn't spoil the day The guy was lucky Matt answered the phone, or I wouldn't have paid him at all, in cash or otherwise! Why introduce stupid systems like that? When I've worked in bars, the cash changed hands at the same time as the drinks, and I learned to leave the bank note on top of the till, until the customer had received their change, in case there was any question about what note they'd given me

Hope they ease you back in gently

Unbelievable isn't it?! I've heard the same thing though, and it's all happened in just a few years. People don't even walk the same anymore, because half of them walk around looking at their screens

Been there!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is OK, and enjoying a fine weekend. No shortage of chores for me to take care of today, but I'm hoping to get some sharpening in, and to post some more pics from my trip away (seems like months ago now). Thought I'd carry my SamDamLamb Have a great day Guardians
