Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Ahoy Guardians!

The weather situation in South Florida has devolved from merely ruinous to perfectly dreadful. The Stockholm syndrome tells me to enjoy the brief drop in temperature the rain brings, yet the impending rise in humidity is fixed in my mind.

I suppose it's shameful to be griping about "bad weather" given the cataclysm my neighbors to the North are engaged in - which brings up an interesting, to me at least, point: I'm so far south, that to get to "The South" I'd have to drive north quite a while.

One day, I had this grand fantasy that involved me in the role of Founder and Leader of a Bluegrass-Latin fusion band named, get this: Too Far South (copyright pending...). The fatal error being that it's a fool's errand to try to find a decent banjo player this far from the Mason-Dixon line. Wasn't meant to be. 😕🪕

The thing is though, the areas that got hit the hardest, they have nice weather all the time. I've spent plenty of time in Asheville et al and for the most part, the weather is just splendid.

In Miami, despite what you've been told by people selling timeshares and spaces in luxury retirement villages, the weather here is seldom anything near splendid. So, while I've seen the pictures and lament the devastation - I'm still capable of feeling sorry for myself in my steamy dampness. Plus, when you're living in the bullseye - it's hard not to celebrate a miss, even if that might feel rotten at times. 🤷

Great snakewood Will. Jack's motto "seize the day" is apropros for those of us near water during hurricane season.

Hello friends. Just got this TEW lamb back from @glennbad. Unfortunately this old bex gave him fits but as he always does, he made it perfect. The covers are redwood burl. Thank you Glenn.

Happy to report my mother in laws surgery went well. Hopefully we get the news soon that she is 100% cancer free. Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes.

On night shift still and got 8 straight days coming up. Got my “new” TEW in the pocket tonight.

Looks like you are fortified for a night out.
L'ram is such a fine example of a new lamb retaining classic lines.

Seems like a fitting name, Jack. :thumbsup: (Of course, I had to look it up, because my Italian is pretty much limited to words that would appear on an Italian restaurant menu.) 🤣

Might as well get out there and live life while you’re young! 😉 Did you ever end up catching one of the 20th anniversary showings of Shaun of the Dead?

You're right buddy! :D By coincidence, I did discover that I have a spare copy on DVD, and hope to catch the anniversary showing in the theatre :) :thumbsup:

Speaking of anniversaries, Julie and I started dating 25 years ago today, so that’s something I suppose. 😁

Switched out one Albers Lamb for another today, felt like I’ve been neglecting my Afzelia Burl lately. This is an old pic, but I’ll try to grab a new one later.
