[mitch13]

Thanks Todd. Glad the entertainment was enjoyable.
Your A.Wright is sweet.

Only when I'm feeling morbid Mitch.

Well where do I go with that, Jack beat meaning of life.
So I'll have to go here, the best Santa

I hope we continue to have seasons Mitch Looks like you've had a good day

Rose Beast is looking good Jer

Thanks a lot Steve

Great to see that one again Bob

Fantastic Todd, I love those sort of impromptu performances! The good ones anyway

LOL! Sounds like my kind of place Todd I remember, when I had just decided to move to Leeds 20-odd years ago, I ended up boozing with some younger friends, and someone told me, "In Leeds, the weekend starts on WEDNESDAY!" It did back then too Hard to believe it's July here too buddy, I just put my heating on!

Thanks a lot Dwight

That's a stunning pic, and a very cool coin there with your '19

I hope the rest of the week is as good as that Steve

Good luck at the docs David Nice pocket choice

I hope everyone is having a good day I was up early, to get some work done, before I met up with Eve, at a coffee shop about a mile up the road. Her and her boyfriend, Chris, have just got back from 10 days in the USA, visiting New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Kentucky, and they had a good time. Strangely, they bumped into David Letterman TWICE, once in the street in New York, and again at the Indy 500 I guess the US is smaller than I'd figured! After having coffee, we headed over to a favourite cafe in one of Leeds' satellite towns, but by the time we got there it was raining. Fortunately, there were free tables, as the place gets pretty busy. I had a Philly cheesesteak sub, something I've never tried before. The sub was nearly as big as my forearm, and came with a huge pile of fat-cut chips, and a mountain of coleslaw, which was way beyond me It was raining even worse outside, after we'd finished, and with all the Leeds' museums closed on Monday, we were struggling to think of something to do. We ended up heading to another local suburb, and visiting a bookshop there, then grabbing another coffee Since getting back home, I've managed to get a bit more work done, but my internet connection has been terrible again I certainly won't be eating this evening!

I did sounds you had a good day too

Howdy gents,

The past two months have been pretty rough over in this pasture and there hasn't been much time for keeping up with the forums. I've had plenty of lambs in my pockets, but less opportunity for pictures and updates.

My longtime sweetie's mom passed away after a protracted bout with dementia. Immediately after the memorial, I came down with some kind of awful cold, likely acquired in the hospital. The day I started feeling mostly human again, the rains began. Rain of biblical proportions. And not only rain, hail too - I don't think there's anything as unabashedly bewildered as a life-long resident of the tropics seeing ice fall from the sky. Dark days, in more ways than one.

I can't fathom all I've missed, and imagine that "catching up" with the conversation here will probably be a lifelong endeavor - to which I look forward eagerly.

For now, I must ask you to be satisfied with a recent and rare for me (still looking for a full-time gig...) acquisition. For your consideration, a C. Johnson Western Works "LAMB FOOT KNIFE" (but not a "REAL" one apparently). "REAL" or not, I dig that stag and those groovy bolsters. I haven't cleaned it up yet and if you look close, you can see the blade stamp is filled with crusty, unidentified mung that seems to have made it's way on to the covers as well.

Clearly well loved, the tip is not proud when closed and the covers are free of any cracks or other defects. She's got a touch of side-to-side blade play (completely forgivable at her age of ??? and honestly I'm surprised it isn't worse than it is). The action is unbelievable - a crisp and glassy 6.5 with a half stop. I'd be hard-pressed to find a knife in my horde with a smoother or more lively action.

It's hard to make out, but it looks like the pile-side tang is stamped "HAND FORGED." I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow, the good lord willing and the creek (formerly known as "the street I live on") don't rise!

Hey - what's the haps with Tool Man? I think I'm having withdrawals...

Sorry to hear of your tribulations my friend but great to see you putting it behind you and joining us. That is a fantastic C Johnson lamb. I have an IXL very similar to that one.

Great pic, Dwight!

Thanks man.

Hey - what's the haps with Tool Man? I think I'm having withdrawals...

I'm really sorry to read about your significant troubles Will I hope the CJ indicates a change for the better, it has outstanding character. The blade will certainly have been hand forged, and 'Hand Forged' is a common Sheffield blade stamp. Tool Man is the same fat fool he has been all the time I've known him!

Ah yes, the big four…

LOL! Yeah, Chris has a friend in Cincinnati, an old work colleague. Feller must like pizza, apparently he has a $20,000 pizza oven in his kitchen!

That’s funny. The Indy 500 is probably the most likely place to run into Letterman, he’s from Indianapolis and is a big racing guy. He was my dad’s favorite talk show host. Here’s a pic I posted here a couple years ago. Had a bit of a mishap trying to take a pic with my HHB. (Probably for the best, I’d clearly put too much milk in that tea anyways.) The mug was my dad’s.

Yeah, Eve was telling me about the racing connection, he was with his team, so not very surprising. In New York, he was just walking down the street. I said, I wasn't sure I'd recognise him in the street, I'd just think it was a guy who looked a bit like David Letterman, but apparently lots of people were saying Hi to him. Considerably less weird than some of my own celebrity encounters! Cool mug of your dad's Barrett

Very kind of you mate. Sounds like you and Eve had a great afternoon!

Thanks buddy, it was a nice day

Afternoon all

Cool pic Mitch, I do like a ginger beer

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and that the week has got off to a good start for you. It's stopped raining here, but it doesn't exactly look like July - even Yorkshire July I still have a bunch of tedious tasks to take care of, but since I need to go to town anyway, I'm going to call in at Charlie's for a coffee Have a good day Guardians Carrying my Joseph Rodgers Shadow Lamb
