Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Rufus1949]

Hopefully you will be able to get your A1C straightened out.

My son was diagnosed Type 1 at 14 months age. He has been using a pump for many years, it's really nice the way they are set up now. Built in glucose monitor, and with setpoints below which the insulin stops and above which the insulin starts.

May I wish you son continued good health.

Morning Guardians! Cloudy and cold. Lots of moisture in the air. Have a good one

You too David

That book looks like a very interesting read. Sofa time sounds great!!

Yeah, it's a real coffee table book Paul, with some beautiful photos It was pricey, but the Royal Armouries Museum is free, so I think it's nice to support it

Sounds like a nice afternoon minus the crumby weather. Hope Wolfie shows up. Sling shot and knife look great, Jack.

Thanks a lot mate, Wolfie is trying to sort out a minor damp problem in one of the rooms of his house. Him and missus bought this place 10 years or so back, it was cheap, but you've never seen construction like that! At least I hope you haven't! I had fun with the slingshot

Happy Saturday, Guardians. I should be asleep but was awaken by a nightmare . I get them from time to time. Scars from times past. They are less frequent now so thank God for that. If I don’t get some sleep between now and my shift I’m gonna be hurting .

Peeked outside and saw a good blanket of snow. Unfortunately it didn’t miss my driveway . Better get it plowed. Hope everybody has a great day. Got the Taylor’s lamb spey combo today

Sorry to hear about the nightmares Paul Hope they continue to fade over the years buddy Great knife there

Happy Saturday Guardians ! We got a bit over 3 inches of very dry snow. Better than nothing I guess, we sure need the moisture for the spring.


G.Butler Lambspey today

Have a great day everyone !

That is one sweet pic Steve

Thanks Jack, glad you got some pub grub before your plinking.

Thanks Bob, the grub at that pub isn't great I'm afraid, and it's overpriced for what it is I had sausage, beans, and chips, with a side order of onion rings, which was OK, apart from the lukewarm onion rings. Cillian had a steak, which looked tough as old boots! My Hartshead Barlow got a lot of use helping him out!

Some Saturday stag on a Dallas oak!

I hope everyone is having/had a nice day I reckon I walked a good 5 miles today. After the pub, Matt and his missus were getting shopping at the supermarket next door, and I called in for a few things myself, before we all walked down the road together. I came across the kids messing around!

It's Spalted Beech




You've got me craving a corned beef samwich



I hope you get to meet up with your mates

Cool picture !



Love that Lockwood



I hope you can get your blood sugar lowered. My dad was a diabetic and I always worry about my blood sugar getting too high. As of now it's just under what they consider high normal. I hope I can keep it that way

It was tasty, I used love mum's home cooked 1 growing up didn't even worry about sauce.
Now go indulge in that samwich.

As a writer, I feel precluded from making statements such as "I don't have the words..." or "I'm speechless" - the whole job is, quite literally, having the words.

That said, I'm grasping at words but most seem inadequate. "Grateful" is up near the top of the stack, as is "ecstatic," "overwhelmed," and with a generous dusting of "humbled." "Spellbound" gets pretty close. "Unworthy?" Fate already answered in the negative.

Look on my Waynorth Lamb, ye mighty, and despair!

I really believed this knife was beyond me. By the time I heard of its existence, I'd already counted myself out and was resigned to admire them from across a digital divide. However, the described scenario wasn't to be, and I couldn't be happier. I'm overjoyed and should probably be in search of some kind of joy antidote but instead, I just keep fiddling with this knife! A Waynorth lambsfoot in my very own hands, in my very own pocketses!

I won't go into the whole story, but it was a doozy. A couple Guardians helped - one in extremis, and they all know who they are. I'm eternally grateful. You guys are hells of guys... hells full of guys... whatever - great bloody group we've got here!

Thank you waynorth for your perseverance, effort, and vision. Thank you Jack Black for being the Osiris of this whole thing. Thank you Jeremy sbh06 for agreeing to craft a stunning conveyance for a most deserving knife. Thank you Guardians for your daily passion (and pictures!).

You'll be seeing this one a lot. I hope you like the cut of her jib. She already has a name, but I'll keep it to myself for now.

Congrats Will, great picture !

Great photo of your Lockwood Brothers Bob

I sure hope you're OK Jer Cold here too, no snow in Leeds yet, but we've had some sleet

Yikes! When I think of it, I've known quite a few doctors, socially, over the years, and they haven't all been bright sparks

Me too! Thanks Steve

Definitely!

Thanks Dave

I hope everyone is having a great day. It's raw here today, and when I went out to meet Matt at Charlie's cafe, I did wonder why I had gone out at all! With the Italians in the kitchen, (possibly the only 2 Italians in the world who can't cook), we decided to go elsewhere for lunch, so we took Matt's lad, Cillian, to the pub for lunch, where we were joined by Matt's missus, and his daughter, Rheia. Wolfie is AWOL, and not for the first time I'm glad to get back to my central heating!

Going to warm up with some plinkin'

Sounds like you still had a good day.
Hope you gents are still wearing your winter coat

Looking good Dave

Thank you, Jack. Sorry about the unforced error yesterday

Hopefully you will be able to get your A1C straightened out.

My doctor will make me add a drug to my metformin. All these Little Debbie lunches will have destroyed the credibility of my plans to deal with it by smart eating.

I still mean to start eating smart in the near future. (I've got lots of books on it.)

Dammit, I was almost done with a multiquote response.
Thanks for your well wishes. The diabetes will be fine. I've bought more cookbooks and another knife (a funayuki from the river, Chris Kimball is so excited about the one he wants to sell me).
Today's weather was fine, and my snow residue almost all melted before I got home. We'll see about the all-store meeting weather tomorrow. At least there won't be much traffic at 5:30 Sunday morning.

You definitely have the words, Will! And nice words they are!!
Glad you are enjoying - nay rejoicing, in your new knife!!!
Please do so in good health!!
