Good morning Guardians. Tough for me to get going today for some unknown reason. Gorgeous morning here in NC - sunny and 65 degrees F. Guess I'll have some hot tea to start off and then maybe I'll go for my daily stroll. HHB again in the pocket
.
Stag HHB as handsome as ever, Bill! I like the texture on your slip, too.
Lavish lamb, Dwight!
...
Gas man lamb again today. I sharpened it up yesterday, I noticed pretty quick that the grind was terribly uneven. It's not the prettiest edge now but it will eventually even out and it cuts like a laser beam!
Patrick, I've heard that a chain is only as strong as its weakest lamb, so your chain is powerful!
...
I hope everyone's day is going well
It is 2.30pm, and I am just getting time to scarf a cheeseburger. Mrs Singh's son, Minda, didn't let me know it was her birthday until last night, so I have been having to make a few extra trips, and scrub myself up for her garden party tonight
I'm over the moon with my GL-24, and looking forward to having a good, uninterrupted CE and CF session with it
Thank you to Barrett, Bob, Steve, Mitch, David, Dwight, Paul, Todd, Pete, Duncan, Jeremy, Charlie, Neal and Dylan for their exceptional generosity
Congrats on the arrival of your superb GL-24, Jack!
Thanks buddy! I have only been on a short stretch of the AT when hiking to the Virginia high point. Sure did enjoy it
I forgot that I actually got lost out there. Ended up in some heavy cover and my GPS couldn't receive a signal. I had a compass and map so wasn't to concerned. I back tracked my self for a ways and lost the trail. Looking around I decided the only way out was to go straight up through the heavy brush and rocks. The trail had to be up there somewhere. It took a while but finally made it to the top and there was the trail. I sure was relieved to find the trail again. The rest of the hike was uneventful.
Yikes! That sounds less than ideal, David. I once got lost on an early morning solo exploration of Valencia, Spain, but how lost can you be in a city? I started walking around squares of increasing size and eventually saw a landmark I recognized.
Just about to make a cuppa.

glad your parcel arrived, everyone appreciates the behind the scenes work gone into this project.

Champion Lambsfoot, Leon!

Those rosewood HHBs are such pleasant knives, and yours looks like a workhorse, Taylor!
Got a Space
in the other day. Sure is a unique knife.

Congrats on nabbing one of those desirable models, David!
That knife exudes elegance, Bob! That Guardians slip Dylan made is A-1.
I was referencing
The Postman Always Rings Twice and trying to link a picture of Jessica Lange. She frustrated me. (That never happens.)
But I'll bet this is how Jessica Lange deals with her woodchucks.
You could be right, Jer, but I wonder whether Jessica Lange calls her pests woodchucks or groundhogs or whistle pigs or land beavers or maybe even marmots.
Just wanted to drop in and congratulate all of the Guardians on the double milestone.
I still carry Jake 99% of the time.
...
FBC, it's GREAT to see Jake again after so long; he's like cash on the barrelhead!
Hope all is well. Been catching up and saw the giveaway. As a newish lamb owner hope its ok if i join. Been taking care of dad and my two storerooms so not been around much. Things are looking up though. Got dads cataracts fixed so hopefully he will be able to get around a little better. Hes lost without mom.
Anyway, long long time lurker and finally bought my first of many lambs this past year. A stag from off the auction site. Was a little rough and dull as could be but i was planning on putting it to work anyway so i didnt mind.
. Now i have a small flock going and will add as time allows to search for interesting pieces. Love this thread and the members that keep it going. Heck loved it before i was accepted into the group. One of the best forum threads on the entire internet. Thank you all!

Superb stag on your lambsfoot!
Good afternoon Guardians !
We have goats on our property helping eradicate Buckthorn and other undesirable plants and weeds which have taken over our property. They are voracious animals and seem to enjoy their jobs. They even climb trees .

Very cool to see those goats, Steve!
3 years ago, a college whose campus I often visit on my walks had a herd of goats working for a week on cleaning out some undesirable vegetation. I visited 2 or 3 times during that week. Here's a couple of relevant photos.
A sign similar to the one in your pic:
A goat in action, with Union Jack looming over him:
Nice photo!
(Apparently I tried quoting too many posts and went over a 10,000 character per post limit. Standby for more.)
Glad to read that I'm not the only one to whom that happens, Barrett!
Excellent bonus pics, Steve! We have very few red fire hydrants where I live.

I hope you had a great day of it Bob 
It didn't work out so bad as there was another friend wanting to go, and Matt had forgotten to book them a ticket
