Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[5K Qs]

Good morning Guardians! Got back yesterday from a family boating vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks. I always get stressed out when pulling a boat long distance. Happy to report my 1998 Suburban made another successful journey!
Not chilly enough for a real fire but just right for a gas one. Have a great day everyone.

Marvelous stag HHB, Todd!
Glad to read you had a successful vacation. Since I was 10 years old, I've been pulling loads (wagons full of silage or bales of hay, farm machinery, pop-up campers, boat trailers) behind vehicles, and I NEVER feel confident doing it on public highways.

Like an award from Heaven for my meritorious service!

Nothing says "Well done, good and faithful servant" like a #382 Space Shuttle Lambsfoot!

Yes Gary, I forgot I'd actually ordered a curry with whole green chillis, and thought I as forking in green beans for some bizarre reason! They don't come hotter, or saucier, than Bessie Smith my friend!

Didn't really know much about Bessie Smith, but your response made me look her up. Quite an unconventional life, and death!

Yes you blow into the end of it for a three note chord Ive notices later in life that there a language with numbers.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Pic of Union Jack

UJ has aged well Gary !

Gary, it will out live all of us. I like the subtle grain pattern.

That's some handsome Rosewood Gary, cool pic

Were they not representing the all British team?
Nice duo Gary.

Cool pic

Very cool image GT!

Great pic Gary !

Union Jack, and I, appreciate all the kind comments. I'll be posting pics of Union Jack for 3 more days; I hope I can find some interesting ones.
Bob, I help my Sheffield lambsfoots become naturalized US citizens as soon as possible after they arrive. That's why they they opted to try out for US Olympic team, rather than British. (Sort of like basketball player Joel Embiid, who played for USA, but could have chosen to try out for team from France or from Cameroon, I think.)

Sometimes you may find yourself carrying your lambfoot into a knife free zone. That means time for a stash job.

Outstanding!

There's a W E Jameson and sons - animal feed and farm supplies located in Masham, North Yorkshire since 1930

Yes, I posted a link, but they're no longer highlighted very well Could be

Looking forward to a Market report!

Thanks pal

Carry on all...

Cool pic Dwight I owe this thread some pics from my trip to Scarborough the other week, where there is still an old police box

Thank you for the kind and caring words Guardians ! I much appreciate them !
I carried my HHB again today held securely in the pouch John sent me almost 4 years ago I believe.
Time really flies !

Very handsome Dan, I carry my Hartshead Barlow in a near identical slip It's great to know you're doing OK, are the girls off at college now?

I'm carrying Union Jack as my lambsfoot this week, but for a photographic change of pace, here's Union Jack with Lam Jack when they were training in hopes of qualifying for Olympic wrestling. Unfortunately, they weren't selected to be on Team USA.

On a drizzly Thursday.

I like Brian's Tiger Stripes Gary

Dwight, is that photo from an episode of Dr. Who?

Sweet

Have a nice market day, Jack. I’m glad Tool Man will have you there for emotional support.

Thanks pal, I'm glad I wasn't there too early, as there was a naked man running around apparently! And folks think the British are so 'reserved'!

Had a great dinner tonight with @herder and @Jakeywax31 (who was in town for an early morning flight tomorrow). I had my Albers Katalox with me (actually had a couple other Albers Lambsfoot knives, too, but that’s the only one that made the photo).

That burger was called “The Reaper.” It was delicious, with jalapeño bacon, crispy fried jalapeños, habanero aioli and pepper jack cheese, but hardly deserving of its ominous-sounding moniker. (Levels of spice are often greatly exaggerated on Minnesota menus.)

Fantastic! I quite fancy a burger myself now!

Let's get this day started/ ended for some . It's lived a good life.

Some blade wear there, but I love the covers Bob

A-bout TURN!

One of my late father's favourite expressions!

She was quite a girl!

Congratulations Jack on 5,000 pages (almost there). I’m really glad to have found my now favorite pattern here. And most of all I enjoy reading everyone’s posts. Here’s a picture of my first lambsfoot. I saw Pete’s and his brothers K’roo’s and had to get one much like theirs. The most fun I’ve had with knives has been right here.

Happy Market Day. Jack tell my sometime muse Tool Man hello. Maybe I have another haiku for him. By the way Jack I looked up that rioter I posted a video of. Glad he got arrested. I hope things are back to normal in Leeds.

Tool Man didn't seem too disturbed, or particularly surprised, by his early morning encounter with a 'streaker', who was thankfully some distance away. I guess, after 15 years on Leeds Market, you've seen a lot of strange things Today, was not really the weather for running around naked



Just after I arrived myself, Gravel turned up with some jam doughnuts, so I went to get coffee. My faith in Tool Man was such that I bought some more doughnuts, since I had been away from the stall nearly 5 minutes



The morning was fairly quiet, and apart from brief visits from Captain Birdseye, Harry Hotballs, Big Dave, and Barry The Original Ted, there was only Tool Man, Boring Ray, Slimline Scott, and myself. Nobber Al wandered over a couple of times, reminding me that I've not had a pint with him in a while.



By 11.30am Tool Man was petitioning to be fed, insisting that Gravel went to buy chips, gravy, and mushy peas. I went with him, to ease the strain on his wallet. Scott, being even more tight-fisted than Tool Man, stayed behind, which was a relief, since he can give Boring Ray a run for his money! Tool Man was very satisfied with the repast, though he complained about both the quality of the supplied wooden forks, and the presentation (he didn't like the grease-proof paper liner, claiming it was a trap for the gravy, and insisting on licking it clean!)!



I briefly suggested having some strawberries as a dessert, but obviously Tool Man was absolutely horrified by the very idea, having already scolded Big Dave, for merely carrying a small bag of citrus fruit he had bought for a neighbour



Since Tool Man was intending to slope off to Barber Brian's in the afternoon, there was a debate about his competence as a hairdresser. Both Gravel, and myself, have fell foul of his bad eyesight, and failing barbering skills. Tool Man insisted he had never had a bad haircut from Brian, while I pointed out that this might be because; A, he has barely any hair left; B, because his own eye-sight is so poor, he wouldn't notice; and C, because Barber Brian is probably terrified of him! I don't think Brian is actually scared of Tool Man at all, but after doubly insulting him, I thought I'd throw that in, as I knew it would placate him, and also cause him to puff his chest out! Scott also insisted he had never had a bad haircut from Brian, but I told him I had lots of photographic evidence to the contrary!

As Tool Man departed for his haircut, and Gravel went to see his own barber, I decided that I didn't want to get stuck between Boring Ray, and Almost As Boring Scott, and made my excuses, swerving past the last surviving fan of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the way

Thank you Kurt, I am grateful to everyone who has got us to this point, and it's good to have you on board my friend I'm sure Tool Man will think a haiku is something he can eat, so he will be grateful Fabulous First Lamb, and you've given me an idea for a giveaway

If there is one constant in life, it's toolman, his obstenancy and a vein clogging appetite.
