Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[pat9198]

I like your plan Pat That's a pretty cool rock

Thank you Jack, I hope you enjoy your day with your mate and his family.

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!

It is good, and I’d bet it tastes even better in Wisconsin with cheese curds and beer brats.

 

[5K Qs]

I've already posted some beverage and lambsfoot photos for an additional chance in Barrett's GAW, but I'll post a few more since I have them.
These all feature Lam Jack, my 2017 horn Guardians lambsfoot, with a variety of stouts, all of which were very enjoyable.

Gorgeous lamb horn Steve!

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

Have a great day tomorrow my friend!

Thanks pal.

Enjoy your day with friends Jack.

The kids promise to be good here!View attachment 2666357

Cool shot of your Charlie Lamb

Thanks again amigo.

I typically drink only coffee, water, beer, and bourbon but might have to check it out lol.

I've been known to drink all four at the same time.

Submarines are super fascinating to me.

but I’m in for steak and eggs.

Oh yeah......

(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.)

EXACTLY what I was thinking GT.

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

Oh my goodness that looks delicious!!!

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!

Guardians Unite!! (I don't know - I think I've got Voltron on the brain...)

Most excellent!

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.

Haha, believe it or not, that giant bottle is at the regular grocery store here! That Stubb's sauce isn't all that hot but it does have a slight kick and is pretty tasty. I'll keep an eye out for Gates Extra Hot!

My wife grabbed 10 bottles of my favorite today. Most people are surprised at how hot this stuff is, but the flavor is probably the best, very low salt and doesn't have the vinegar flavor. Don't get me wrong, Tabasco has its place, but I generally prefer no vinegar.

Hope you don't mind I squeezed in a beverage too.... Will that count as a second entry?

Also went full nerd and had a couple of my WWI models in there too.... Been working on the one for far too long!



Have a great night, Guardians!

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

What a breakfast

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.)

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.

I think we did eat when we were there, but to be honest that was almost 10 years ago, so I don’t really remember. (It also doesn’t help that, shortly after returning from that trip, I accidentally went swimming with my phone and killed it, and, having not backed it up since just before the trip, I lost any pics that I had taken.)

Funny that you mention HEB, the uncle I was visiting worked for them, managing the beer and wine department of a store in College Station.

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.

Good looking 5-string, Jeremy. Neck-through construction?

Im a boring drinker but heres a neat old horn handled working lamb for the beverage portion

I hear that Cuban coffee is pretty powerful stuff!

Here’s a beverage-and-Lambsfoot pic from dinner tonight. The chain restaurant was the girls pick (not my first choice), and I wasn’t really planning on having a drink, but my wife ordered a margarita and was informed it was happy hour and they were buy one get one free. Alright, twist my arm. (We had two each.)

Sorry, Steve, somehow I dropped your quote from my last post. I’m going to have to give that hot sauce a try. We stop by Trader Joe’s maybe once a month and pick up a few favorites. I’ve been disappointed by the heat (or lack thereof) in some supposed-to-be-spicy items I’ve bought there in the past, but I’ll definitely buy a bottle of that next time we’re there.

That pic definitely works, I’ve got your second entry marked down.

Thanks, got it from a good friend last weekend. It does have a through neck, its an Ibanez BTB745 (I wrote them to let them know they misnumbered it as it should be a 01 ). By far the nicest bass I’ve played.

No worries! By all means, you should try it out. It's about the only thing we consistently buy from there, although the pizza dough and desserts are excellent as well! If you've had Dave's Insanity, it's not quite that hot, but a close second. The flavor is on point though. Takes me about 3 days to go through a bottle.

— 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.

This GAW is fun! I love the baseball pic, I always have to sneak my knives into the ballgame. I did get caught with a knife one time so I had to take it outside and hide it in the bushes…one of the drivers was parked sitting in his car and saw me hide it. I didn’t think he would take it, but when I left the game it was gone. I’m guessing it was his first GEC…

Picked up a new IPA for this entry. So far I’m really enjoying it.

As long as the rosellas don’t get them again I think it’ll be a good almond harvest.

Just calling in to wish everyone a great weekend It looks like I'll have a lot of catching up to do!

When will they be ready to harvest ????

Last year was my first harvest, this variety is ready to go around Feb.
kids ate them off the tree up to the limit of their reach, the rest I picked and toasted.

I’ve established 37 fruit trees since we moved here 6 years ago. In addition to that tried 4 times with avocado, had an orange and loquat eaten by a pet sheep and another couple lost in bad summer heat couple years back. I do love my fruit trees!
