Alright everyone, the giveaway is officially closed.

It might take me a bit to get the drawing ready to go, as I’ll be multitasking working on this and dinner at the same time. So please bear with me, I should be back in an hour or so (?) with a winner.

Here’s the full list of entrants. I don’t think I missed anyone (I checked at least twice), but if you posted an entry and don’t see your name on the list, speak now or forever hold your peace!

Tool Man doesn't look like much of a swimmer to me. I nearly spit out my coffee with the last line.

As much as technology drives me crazy, this community wouldn't exist without it, so for that, I am thankful.

True
I think it would be difficult to view pictures over the telegraph

Basil and I checking crops this morning.

For some added good news, this barley crop is actually very clean with good yield potential. A rare sight this year!

My Lambsfoot of the Week is Cracker Jack, my Ashley's Choice stag lambsfoot from a Jack Black SFO; IIRC mine arrived mid-September 2018.
It might be my most photogenic lambsfoot, or at least the one of which I've taken the most photos. One of its positive characteristics is the different looks of the stag on the two sides of the handle. Here are a couple of the earliest photos I took of Cracker Jack; I'll be posting more throughout the week, as is my current custom.

I told her I've been one of those guys for a really long time.

And Paid Up and Proud.

Alright everyone, I appreciate your patience… the wait is over, and it’s time to announce the winner!

The drawing was, of course, done using the latest in random data selection technology — an old typewriter, some paper, scissors and a hat.

I got all the entries folded up, added to the hat and mixed up pretty well.

Then I called in some small, impartial hands to make the selection.

And the winner is…

Another great picture Dwight. Happy Birthday to your daughter

Happy birthday to your daughter Dwight. Sounds like a great meal ahead.
A fine lamb to party with

Fantastic Dwight Happy Birthday to your daughter, and I hope you all have a wonderful time Great shot

Thanks gents for the happy birthday wishes!

Knob Creek meets three criteria, great taste, moderate price, and is available each time I go to the liquor store. Great looking lamb and accompaniments in your pic.

Thanks Jeremy. The more expensive bourbons and scotch come and go but there's always Knob Creek 9 here.

That’s a lot of pulled pork, Dwight! Happy birthday to your daughter!

Thanks Barrett. 7 hrs and 21 min on the pork butt.

Thank you Mitch!

I'm fond of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, too. My go-to, if I could only have one, would be Buffalo Trace.

I agree about the Buffalo Trace. It is very hard to come by here but the new Chris Stapleton bourbon called "Traveller" by Buffalo Trace is very close and it's readily available here.

Thanks! They are incredibly difficult to build. Mounting the top wing is the dreaded part. I just have to finish the rigging and landing gear on that one.

I have no doubt it is very difficult. I've just about decided to start building them myself. Old trucks, not planes for me.

I was thinking that is an awfully tiny pistol! Hope it's a great birthday celebration. With that much meat and plenty of whiskey, I don't know how it wouldn't be.

It was a great party mate!

Congrats, Jeff; that's a beauty!!

Thanks for the very generous and fun GAW, Barrett!

And thanks to all the participants for the photos of tempting condiments and beverages!

They sit around outside Tool Man's shed, drinking cheap, strong lager, and talking ill-informed nonsense I will suggest Plato Tyson

I can just hear Tool Man and company holding forth on Plato's cave!

Many years ago, I had a hard-drinking friend, who was great conversation. We would often drink into the wee hours, discussing philosophy, politics, and life. In addition to beer, he had a penchant for strong, 100 proof spirits, (there was only place in Sheffield that sold 'Polish Spirit', and it was 4 times the price of whisky), and I would often gift him a quarter bottle. Early one morning, we were just passing from one subject to another, and I asked him, "Just before we start on 'The Meaning of Life', (or whatever it was), would you like another beer?" I got two beers out of the fridge, and handed him one. Sitting down again, I watched, as he poured himself a shot of spirit, and tipped it back. He continued to talk again, pulled the tab on the can of beer, then mid-sentence, he lost consciousness , and just swung to the side of the sofa, like a metronome, with the beer still in his hand! One second he seemed fine, the next he was unconscious!

That's dedication, discipline and commitment!

While drinking the two, he ponders why he always loses

John Daly wouldn't.
