Awesome LF knife!!!
Beautiful LF knife, Jack. Don't work too hard!LOL!I'd say that Sir Ranulph Fiennes may be the nuttiest of all!
The British Antarctic Survey deliberately look for bland, introverted, quiet characters who can work in close proximity to others, for months at a time, without causing friction, (a friend of mine was excluded because he occasionally whistled), so it always makes me laugh when sci-fi movie space crews are composed of a bunch of crazy alcoholics and nut-cases!
I guess reality would be less interesting

Good morning Guardians. It's a cold one out here today. Passed on golf so I'll be doing some shopping on-line for a new hedge trimmer. Going with battery power this time. My old Black and Decker corded hedge trimmer is very tired but stood the test of time. However, wounded extension cords! Recommendations for a new trimmer welcomed.
I'll be carrying my Senator today.

I have a DeWalt, and it works fine for my purposes. My major reason for buying that particular brand was that it uses the same batteries as all my other cordless tools. Now that I have a pile of batteries and chargers, it's much cheaper to but a new tool when I need one, because I can buy the tool-only package (usually around $50-$60 less than getting the same tool with another set of batteries and a charger).Awesome LF knife!!!

Jack,I think it's been an hour now, maybe longer, and my heart-rate has only just settled back down, and my vision cleared. I don't know how you guys managed to put this together, but I received a very special gift this evening, a wonderful knife, which I will treasure always. It is one of Cosimo Di Bendetto's beautifully elegant Lambsfoot knives, and it would be amazing enough, but it came as a gift from a bunch of you, who are my friends, which is why it will always have a special place in my heart. I can't thank you folks enough for all the kindness and friendship I have received here over the years, but this knife will be a special reminder of both. Thank you so much my dear friends
It's late here, and long dark, but here is my Pals' Lambsfoot![]()

Nice pic buddy, I'm kind of fancying a cuppa now!
Many thanks for your kindness and friendship PeteJack,
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and useful knife pattern with all of us. Kudos to Paul and Bob for pulling this together.![]()
I hope everyone is having a good dayThe weather here has been mild, and the sun was even out some (back to rain tomorrow). I was working at my computer, but my head was nodding, so I had a walked down to Charlie's cafe for a coffee. Hisham's wife and little boy, Ryan, came in, which was nice, as I haven't seen them in a while. Ryan has the cheekiest face!
I went into town, and called in at the bank, then had to go up the university. Thought I'd take a pic of the iconic Parkinson Steps
I went back into town, had coffee and cake in a bookshop, went and picked up my new specs, (with no issues this time), bought a couple of Easter presents, and then headed home. I need to get, at least, another couple of hours work done now![]()
Superb Steve
Thanks mateGlad to hear you got out and about a bit. Also that you finally got your new specs![]()
So glad your trips to town were fruitful Jack.I hope everyone is having a good dayThe weather here has been mild, and the sun was even out some (back to rain tomorrow).
