Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Notable shot of the noble Senator, FBC!

Here's another pic of my lambsfoot since last Monday, the honorable Senator Man Jack:

Thank you, GT. Senator Jack is looking dapper.

Those pics are fantastic Kevin

Thanks Jack. It looks like you have some fine hiking territory in your parts.

Have a stupendous week Guardians!

This morning I carried out my weekly knife exchange ritual. My lambsfoot knife for the next 7 days is my rosewood Union Jack that resides on the kitchen counter when I'm not scheduled to carry it.

Cool pic of your Union Jack GT, is that a tie? Do you still wear your ties now that you are retired I wonder? I had a decent collection myself at one time, and wore one every day. I think it must be five years since I wore one now though, and many years since I wore one regularly. I really like the grain in the rosewood on your knife, looking forward to seeing more of it this week

I am going to carry this Needham Lambsfoot today, a kind gift from @Campbellclanman a couple of years back. It's a really solid knife




I hope everyone's week is off to a good start My internet connection seems to have gone into limp mode again Hoping to be able to post at some point

Good Morning, Jack that building in the background looks somewhat spooky the lambsfoot, however, doesn't seem afraid.
I have a wee bucket of muffins this morning.

The village of Heptonstall has two old churches, which share a graveyard, that is the older ruined church, the 13th century Church of St Thomas a' Beckett. There's a good aerial view of the church here: https://www.visitcalderdale.com/ruins-of-the-church-of-st-thomas-a-becket. That Needham Lambsfoot is a bold one my friend!



Those muffins look absolutely delicious, you lucky gentleman

That is what's so cool you have years and years of history. Over here its only the past few hundred years.

The Beginning, 1888
William Cornelius Van Horne had a vision to bring the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the rest of the world. He commissioned blueprints for an impressive hotel to be built at the convergence of the Bow and Spray River, in what is now known as Canada's first National Park. Construction began in 1887 and the hotel publically opened on June 1, 1888.

History and rain we have aplenty my friend! That is fantastic, such beautiful scenery

Because I can't get a whole chip butty in my mouth at once!

How 'bout you?

(I'm afraid that's an old pic, no chip butties for me today )

 

[flatblackcapo]

Gooooood morning, Guardians !!!

Gooooood morning, Guardians !!!

Morning Kevin here, that's another superb pic, and the horn looks surprisingly different to in your pic from yesterday

 

[Wurrwulf]

I carry a Lambsfoot...

...because my apples don't peel themselves.

How 'bout you?

Lovely sheen on that horn Shawn

 

[Wurrwulf]

Thanks, JB! Every time I grab this beautiful knife out of my knife chest, I marvel at the depth of the horn. It is a wonderful material!

 

[choombak]

I misplaced my knife someplace and can't find it. Gotta bring out the buffalo horns now!

 

[Prester John]

Love this knife. (Old pic.)

My memory fails me GT!

Good coining my friend



LOL! Well, when I was editing my pics, something struck me about this one from the other end of the lake. There is actually a narrow causeway crossing the lake (you may not even be able to see it without downloading the pic and zooming in), and if someone had been on it at the time, it may have looked just like that

Thanks for the kind words Gary, it's nice to see your Man Jack

Thanks for your encouraging words about reinvention, walking on water, and my Man Jack, Jack my man!
Here's one of the few strange songs of the 1960s:

Saw a really beautiful Series 70 Colt Government Model that I coveted. There were lots of overpriced knives. Couldn't buy a knife yesterday because I'm saving for a Spanish knife. Main thing I sought was a sheath for my wife's Buck 121, the Fisherman model that is no longer in production. Her knife, which belonged to her father, was made 1972-1985. Didn't even know she had it--kept it in the gun safe.

I think I have kindled an interest in knives in her. She also brought out her father's old stockman (a Kutmaster, I think) from the 1950s. He gave it to her when she was a child in the 1970s. She broke the tip of the clip blade long ago, but she asked me to clean and sharpen it. I have also bought her at least three knives this year.

Anyway, no luck with the sheath, but I found someone who can make one for me at a very reasonable price. So the trip was not wasted.

I did buy some jalapeño beef jerky, and ran into a couple of friends, so it was a good time.

Thanks for the report on the gun show and on your wife's and your shared interest in knives, Vince!

I carry a lambsfoot because. . .

That's hard Gary as I spoke before our Suzee is on a one day at a time journey. It will be very hard to put her down I'm sure.

You'll probably know when it's time for Suzee, Dave, but it will still be hard. At the end, we had to wake Stella to take her outside, to try to get her to eat/drink a little; basically, she had no quality of life anymore, but it was still sad to see her go (but maybe sadder and more selfish to try to keep her hanging on a little longer).

Morning all, or afternoon for some here. Frankie could not make his mind up, but I think it would of been my AC.

Frankie looks like a distinguished dog, Russell, and he's obviously completely enamored with your Ashley's Choice!

My wife made some cornbread tonight,AC sat with me while I ate it

@Jody744 , @bonzodog , Prester John , Lotta fine stag on patrol this week!

Morning Guardians, hope everyone had a good weekend I'm starting off the week with some ebony

Good to see that your stygian ebony lambsfoot doesn't completely suck all the fall color out of the universe, Jack!

Thank you, GT. Senator Jack is looking dapper.

Gooooood morning, Guardians !!!

Thanks for honoring my Man Jack, FBC. Your two-tone horn model is breathtaking, and I especially like the way it "coordinates" with some of the vintage CA plates!

Very nifty Needham, Jack; it does indeed look solid!
I still wear my "lucky tie" when I give tests in the only class I'm teaching this semester. Other than that, my ties have joined me in retirement. I used to typically wear ties when I went to observe student teachers in their placements in local middle and high schools, so that worked out to about 35 to 70 days of tie-wearing between Labor Day and Christmas each year, but those days are gone now. (A decade or more ago, I often wore a sport coat or even a suit on those visits, but those vestments are now gathering dust in my closet.)

Dave, I try to ignore all the food that appears in this thread, but those little muffins are more like fuel for your high-altitude, low-temperature existence than they are like normal food!

Union Jack will be here all week:

because it gives me comfort when the gales of November come early.

How 'bout you?

[Fodderwing]

Thanks, Vince. Not so recent, but always sad; we had to have her put down back at the end of March.

I am sorry to hear about your loss my friend.

Gooooood morning, Guardians !!!

What a beautiful lambsfoot Kevin. I haven't had much to say lately but you all make life a little brighter. The last week and a half has been rough. I laid my dad to rest yesterday.
