Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[SteveC]

Cool shot of your Charlie Lamb !

That's a beauty Steve, you've done a great job of capturing that horn

Thanks buddy, the morning light really helps

I can't remember where I came across this pic, not sure I've ever posted it before Lambsfoot is by William Rodgers



Yorkshire shot-put team 1953

That's a beauty Jack !

I'm starting early tomorrow, and going out with my mate Matt, and his family, for the day, so I'm afraid I won't get a chance to post until tomorrow evening, if at all. Hope you all have a great weekend Guardians I'm going to be carrying my Hartshead Barlow

I hope you have a great day !

Sunlight really brings out the beauty of the horn

Thanks buddy, it sure does !

Afternoon Guardians! Ethan again today.

Barrett, thank you for the second entry! My beverage of choice when eating spicey foods is Modelo Negra, here with Diego.

Modela Negra is my choice when eating out Mexican food. Diego protecting the goods.

Thanks, Jack. Great pics! I’ve got your second entry down for Bob.



Of course, Bob!



That guy can definitely put it away. I love that he still tried the dessert after all that.



I went to the Saint Arnold brewery several years back while visiting my uncle who lives near College Station. Pretty cool place, and we had some good beers.



We’ve got quite a few different flavored seltzers/sparkling waters in the house. My wife is a big fan, and I like a few of them. That one sounds pretty good. (Also sounds like it might be good mixed with some vodka…)

Actually, I tried that once with a coconut sparkling water we had. Thought it would go great with some rum, but it turned out to be pretty disappointing.



One of my favorites there, Dan!



I think any night of the week is a good night for a tasty adult beverage.



I mean, some people enjoy drinking Bloody Marys, it can’t be much stranger than that.



Nice! I’m trying to think if I’ve ever had a beer from any Idaho breweries. I don’t think I have.



Nice dark beers, GT. I can’g imagine the blueberry maple stout might would be great. I had a maple bacon donut beer once (I think it was a Rogue Ales and Voodoo Donut collaboration), and I remember thinking it must be what Waffle House dishwater would taste like.



Excellent pic, Dwight.



You’ve definitely got the Costco-sized bottle of Tapatio there! That BBQ sauce sounds interesting. My favorite “spicy” BBQ sauce (although it’s not all that spicy) is Gates Extra Hot.



Paul Jakeywax31 and Todd @bigfish64 first introduced me to New Glarus Spotted Cow at the Badger knife show a couple years ago. It’s good stuff!



Very nice, Jack. An old fashioned is a good way to wind down.

We did movies nights almost every Saturday with our oldest during Covid, but we’ve kind of gotten out of the habit. We’ll still do them every now and then, when there’s something new the girls want to watch.





One thing I’ve noticed (on here sometimes, but particularly in other online knife groups) is people saying, “GEC should do a Lambsfoot on [insert pattern number here],” and nine times out of ten, it’s a pattern that would be terrible for a Lambsfoot.



That’s a pretty good one, Jeff, especially to go with Mexican food!

Yes sir, the St. Arnold's brewery makes a fair number of nice beers. And they serve a nice lunch for the tour (did you get to eat too?). Like you, I find that Ginger Lime Mule intriguing. Supposedly even stocked here at my local HEB... I typically drink only coffee, water, beer, and bourbon but might have to check it out lol.

Happy Friday Guardians

HHB is always dashing. Have a great day out and about. Bob has promised to look after things.

Beauty Steve, it's hard to beat vibrantly feathered horn.

but balked at paying over £4 for a very lacklustre slice of cake

That’s about $8aud, if I saw a slide of cake for that I’d think it was a decent deal. Getting bloody silly for a nice slice of carrot cake or lemon meringue pie at a cafe these days.

— Giveaway UPDATE —

I’ve really enjoyed the entries in the GAW so far, y’all have done a great job with your condiment-and-Lambsfoot posts. As promised, I’d like to offer everyone a chance for a second entry.

While the giveaway theme was open to any kind of condiment, many of you, perhaps unsurprisingly, opted to share some kind of hot sauce. And when you’re eating spicy food, you pretty much have to have a beverage to go with it, right? So for a second entry, let’s see a beverage and Lambsfoot pic. It can be alcoholic, non-alcoholic, maybe you need a tall glass of milk if you’ve been using some of that really hot hot sauce… whatever you like, as long as it’s a beverage.

Here are a couple I’ve posted here before, just to get things started.

And just to clarify, no, Henderson’s Relish does not count as a beverage.

Barrett, thanks again for making the GL-24s happen, and for running a fun giveaway.

My wife knows that I consider Lewis' Reepicheep to be one of the great characters in English literature, so she recently gave me this mug featuring one of his best quotes. Shouted at a voice in the darkness that's making his human friends nervous, Reepicheep the Mouse says: "If you are a foe we do not fear you, and if you are a friend your enemies shall be taught the fear of us."

That's a great line! But it might come on a little intensely for most of the circumstances where I'm meeting somebody for the first time, so I'm still waiting for a chance to use it.

Incidentally, I managed to take this photo without dropping the GL-24 in the coffee. This time I didn't drop it in until after I took the photo.

Been away for a bit, hopelessly behind on this thread. Was in CT last week for work, this Guardians knife accompanied me, and continues to. Bass in the picture is from a good friend, very nice and plays like a dream.

Some sights from the trip:

Conning tower of the USS FLASHER at the National WWII Submarine Memorial

At night

Forward section of a new submarine

Race Rock Lighthouse

New London Harbor 'Pequot' Lighthouse

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

Good morning guardians, kids had waffles this morning but I’m in for steak and eggs.

Fantastic.

Forward section of a new submarine

Amazing, i thought they would be constructed inside a structure.

New London Harbor 'Pequot' Lighthouse

Fantastic shot. I love the history of lighthouses. Thanks for posting.

Now that's a breakfast !

 

[5K Qs]

This photo, apparently taken on Yorkshire Day 2018, shows Black Jack, my lambsfoot this week, using a slide rule to calculate that 2x3 = 6.
(That set-up of the slide rule also shows that the square of 3 is 9 and, equivalently, that the square root of 9 is 3. Nobody ever mentions this, but the left ends of the scales on the "slider" all align, so you can use them to find that 2 squares is 4 and square root of 4 is 2. If you trust your ability to visualize a vertical straight line through those 1s on the left end of the scales on the slider, you can also see that the cube root of 8 is 2.)

I'll try and remember to drop you a line Pete, though I should be wary after my Carnival experience! Hey, in Texas, the weekend starts on Thursday Cool pic

Jack, I’ll go ahead and put it right here.

Hopefully the carnival experience will be avoided! At Texas State University in San Marcos it definitely begins on Thursday night. I can attest as an alumni.

1.5 oz tequila
.5 oz Gran Gala (cheaper than Gran ********)
1 to 1 1/2 limes pressed
1 oz Fresca or Diet 7up
1 oz orange juice or quarter orange pressed

Put that on ice and stir it up!

Finally home, Billy in bed and our weekly Friday night movie and popcorn with the older two underway.

Unwinding with an old fashioned and lamb.

Great way to end a week Jack.

I think any night of the week is a good night for a tasty adult beverage.

Sometimes the truth is hard to hear.

I had meant to post this in my morning but here I am. Chorizo and egg with the best green sauce in the town IMO. Jakeywax31

btb01 wants beverages? Then he gets beverages! Here we go:

Native or transplant, there comes a time in the life of every young and eager denizen of Miami when they must make a very important decision. This decision could impact everything from who they'll marry, if they'll hold public office, what schools they'll attend, where they'll summer, the type of employment they'll receive, whether or not they'll be written into the family will - or disowned and disavowed entirely. That decision is: Which of the three competing Cuban coffee brands do you prefer?

We've got a fight on, folks. A triple-pronged affair involving, in the right corner and wearing red and yellow trunks, the heavyweight champion - Caaaaaaaafeeeeee Pilón! In the left corner, wearing yellow and red trunks, a contender for the title and a sometimes local favorite - Caaaaafeeeeee Bustèlo! And last but not least, wearing green trunks and swinging from the stadium's girders with a hot-rodded buzzsaw and a maniacal cackle - the one, the only, CAAAAFEE LA LLAVE!!!

They're all basically the same. Cuban coffee is essentially espresso that's been toasted too much - and yet, here we are. I choose Cafe La Llave myself. It's an underdog. Frowned upon in polite circles. It's probably the reason I'm still unemployed - and yet, one time, upon opening a fresh package, an aroma so sublime overtook my senses that it moved me to compose a letter to the company in their praise. I'm basically completely in the tank for them. Alas.

I don't drink coffee much lately, as I've found that tea treats me better over the long haul. I made this coffee for my GF, and had a few sips myself. For me, I've found that less is more when it comes to coffee. Especially the Cuban variety.

What better pairing for liquid rocket fuel than a shuttle lamb? None better!
