Thanks pal!Scouts a sweetie
I was very lucky and blessed on that rig.Nice stag on your HHB!
Not really common at all Jack. I got the name from the book - "To Kill A Mockingbird" - Atticus Finch's little girl's name was Scout. I believe the same goes for Barrett's little beauty too.Is Scout a common name in the US Dwight? I don't think I'd heard it before btb01 's youngest was born
Thank you sir.Cute dogs, Dwight!
They are swell little mates.Both your pups look like sweeties
Thanks Jeff!Dwight, a real pair of sweeties you have, and I don't mean knives!
Well, you have plenty of sweet ones of those, too.
Goodness Gracious those are beautiful. A pair of aces in tuxedos!Posting a couple of my favorites. Rick

I love all the old mines in that part of the country.We are a stones throw away from Nevada in the Owens Valley, California. The mine is in the White Mountains and the border of Nevada runs through the North end.
I can't even begin to imagine being at the mercy of a UK lawyer navigating the UK court system!!!I'm thinking of taking legal action
That delicious pic made me think of our pal Cigarodog... I do miss him. Hey Bob I was served chicken covered in chocolate gravy once in an El Salvador restaurant. It was actually very good!
I was nervous for you all day, Jack. Sweet picture my friend.Good morning Guardians, it's Monday 11th March, and after 5 weeks of waiting, I finally have a dental appointment! I surely don't mind going to the dentists, but I can't say I'm particularly pleased about seeing my new dentist again. My only hope is that she doesn't mess up TOO badly!Got a few hours before then, but, as always, plenty to do! I hope everyone has a good week

The weather there is awful. Let my man get some damn sunshine for crying out loud!!!!Rain today, and most of the week!![]()
Noice
Never tire of that one, Bill.Good morning Guardians. Another sunny but cool morning here in paradise. Going to wait until later to take my daily stroll. By then I expect it will have warmed sufficiently. My HHB will be with me today.

Sweet senator, Paul. Cool picture.
Wally lamb is looking great.

Grail lamb right there, Barrett.Rosewood Hartshead Barlow for me today.
Very nice trio, Jer.
Dang fine Albers, Jeremy.Albers with my peeps…

Thanks guys, the dentist was less nervous than previously thankfully. I genuinely suspect it was her first day! The same is true of the dental nurse today, who didn't know how to use anything. I had my crown replaced, and a filling, but the dental neglect of the past year has caused some decay, which could end up costing me a couple of teeth. I'm thinking of taking legal action![]()
That’s like the hotdog of my dreams when I was 6!!!! Looks tasty as hell, Bob.
Roper is beautiful, Jeff.Don't worry, Bob, I put chocolate on my hot dogs, too! Roper in pocket.

Great pic of a handsome Lamb
Beautiful horn LambBeen away today. Don’t burn me at the stake. Carried the horn lamb today. Hope everyone had a good day. Long multiquote to follow.

Thanks buddy!Always quality, David.
This area has decades worth of places to go. Probably because of all the public land. The next place we plan to go is Saline Valley hot springs. It’s worth the wear and tear on your vehicle.I love all the old mines in that part of the country.

No, I'm not sure if they're centigrade or celsius, but they make no sense to me, and most of my friend, Vince
I like the look of the short 'un in Rosewood SteveAs I used to say to my ex, 'Life is short, and so are you...'

Hi, I missed a week or so (got taken by a fit of barlow fever) and have just now finished catching up on 20+ pages of lamby goodness. A few things I've observed:
1. WhenJack Black says "Good morning, Guardians" it's too early and I should still be asleep and when
mitch13 says "Afternoon All" I should probably already be in bed!
2. Posting pictures online is a dicey gamble at best. At worst, treacherous, unforgiving, and abusive.
3. It was fortunate that I delayed upgrading to a BF gold membership, as it gave me time to become properly acquainted with image hosting sites before the walls started breaking loose.
4. You fellers have a bunch of really sweet lambs!!!
Anyhow, I'm back. Feels good. I'm supposed to post a picture now, right? ok.
Now, I know that they aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the GEC 88 lambs -- in fact I just used this DIW one to shave my girlfriend

... some chorizo, for a midnight snack! She even commented on how thinly they were sliced! "Almost translucent" was, I believe, how she put it.
Wait a minute, y'all didn't think I actually used the knife to... you know what? never mind...
Anyway, I guess it's a very personal thing, but just looking at the 88 lambs, I'd have thought that those prominently raised blades would have impacted comfort during use. In practice though, I find that, regardless of which blade is being used, the other kinda fits into the creases of my fingers, which serves to help me keep the whole affair properly aligned and aids in tasks such as slicing chorizo quite thinly. Might help with other things too, but not shaving. Definitely not shaving.![]()
Hope your health is OK mate.In recovery after my first colonoscopy. As far as I’m aware all clear I was still a little out of it when I asked the nurse.

Great stuff Mitch![]()

LOL!Thanks Paul, I only stayed for an hour or so, but I was glad I called in
I think you might be disappointed, Boring Ray is a nice bloke, but REALLY boring!
![]()
Barry can be boring too, mainly by repeating the same stories, and insisting on telling you every detail of his week, at considerable length. While he is doing this, you not only have to listen to him, but look into his eyes, without interruption, until he has finished some lengthy tale, (which is only a heartbeat from the next one!)
He even admonishes Tool Man if he tries to serve a customer while he is recounting a long and boring story!
I copped for him yesterday, just as I was trying to take some photos, and he was literally hanging on my arm!
I'll let him know Paul, though I'm not sure that even the Almighty could give him some common sense!![]()
Thanks a lot pal
![]()
LOL!You need to try some good stuff sometime mate
I love beer too, but with wine, I can carry enough home to get drunk!
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has made it through another week in good styleI am hoping to meet up with Wolfie today, and to get to the opticians, so deja vu on both of those

Got a Big Shop coming late afternoon!
I hope everyone has a great day
I'm carrying this for Old Friends' Friday
