Nice shot for Wooden Wednesday

Thanks Steve!

Thanks mate
Nice combo
Blackthorn & Hazelwood knob?

Thanks buddy!
You are spot on, good eye!

Lots of interesting wood in your picture.

Thanks Bob! The table is juniper, my wife and I make it. Mitch was right on the cane wood.

Many thanks for the kind words my friend, that's a great photo, cool stick with your lovely Lamb

Thank you kindly Jack! They seemed natural together!

Good morning Guardians, I haven't checked the forecast, but it's not looking very summery outdoors. We have our annual Carnival at the weekend, so I hope it brightens up again. In the meantime, I reckon I better wear a jacket to the market. Have a great day Guardians

It seems it rains every opening day on our State Fair, never fails!lol

Nice photo Jack! Your Olight pen/tool? looks interesting!

We are having a reprieve from the heat!!View attachment 2955988

Classy photo Bob!
What's that saying..."why go Merlot, when you can take a Cab"?

Your Ebony looks well handled Jer!

Happy market day y'all! I think I pulled it off, Bob.

I'm really liking your horn covers Pat !

Wow! I don’t even remember where my jackets are at this point in the Texas summer, Jack. Good Thursday morning, Guardians. A photo of Max Sao’s Stagfeather to start the day…View attachment 2956032

Beautiful choice Dave!

Patrick the bone on yours is great. Beautiful.

Well I’m in before the Jack’s Market Report which is fortuitous. Jack if Tool Man gives you his business card beware. I’d take that as an ominous sign…maybe. Beware the Hungry Reaper. Could be some weird Teddy Boy cult. Do not put him in your will. Bump him if so and I’ll send you my addy.

Hope Kind Shirley is doing well.

Very nice photo Kurt, the wood almost looks like safety orange!

It's been so quiet on the market recently, Tool Man is actually thinking of calling it a day, though he has been saying the same most of the time I've known him. Still, he had barely had a sale in the 3 hours I was down there. Nobber Al was knocking again, as he very often does. Likewise the Perfume Fatties, and a bunch of the other regular traders. When I arrived, Gravel was there, for the first time in several weeks, and Scooby made a brief return visit. I had a chat with Captain Birdseye, and Golden Gordon, and Big J, Harry Hotballs, and Slimline Scott all passed by. Boring Ray didn't have a single sale while I was there. Tool Man took his time eating a steak slice, and Ray and Gravel had one two, and we shared a bit of cake. Tool Man reprimanded Boring Ray for telling one of his terrible jokes, which I thankfully didn't hear. I did hear, "Mundo [as in Raymundo], you first told me that joke in 1975! It wasn't funny then, nor on any of the other hundred occasions you've told it since!" Ray, totally resigned to being boring, simply apologised. Once again though, it was a very uneventful morning, and the only real character who we spotted was a strange-looking 'cowboy', wearing a huge hat, 2 dramatically different boots, dude pants and shirt, and straddling an odd-looking walking stick, which he rode at a slow trot, absolutely mad as a box of frogs!

After saying farewell, I went to get a bit of shopping, then called in at Charlie's for coffee and a pastry. I have a zoom meeting later, and hopefully Wolfie is going to call round for a bit. I hope everyone is having a great day

You certainly have a colorfully named group of friends Jack! And L'Ariete seems to be happy helping you out!

Morning Guardians! Sounds like you had a good day at the market today Jack Still hot and humid around here. Happy trails

Nice photo David, the textures really make a neat contrast!

Possibly the funniest thing were the boots, which he had his pants tucked into, they weren't just different colours, they were completely different boots! I don't know if he has another pair at home like that

It's very sad the way that the city council have deliberately sabotaged it, the process started a long time ago, but all the traders know its in its final stages now

Leave it up to politicians and governments to mess up a good thing!

Thank you I agree! It's actually horn.


Thank you Steve.


Me too Bob, and the texture keeps it from sliding out of my pocket when I'm wearing gym shorts or slacks.


Thanks Jack, it's a ham for sure!


Sad to hear Jack, enjoy it while you can.

Bonus pic

Glad we got a second shot of that one!

Good news my friend, and a fine photo

Thanks a lot Bob

Nice shot of your Ebony '18 Jer

Just having a dram before bedtime, with the Lamb I'll be carrying tomorrow

Nice photo Jack! Your Olight pen/tool? looks interesting!

Yeah, I reckon, in the last 25 years, it has rained more than half the time Dennis! Why they have the carnival at the end of August, rather than July, is lost on me Thanks buddy, I have a number of their flashlights, but the pen is a first, and I'm pleased with it. It's very light and slim, and has a pencil, as well as a ballpoint

Classy photo Bob!

That market crowd are a colourful bunch Dennis Here's a recent pic of Harry Hotballs (Right) with Gravel, he was recently squaring up to another pensioner of the same age!

Well....cheers Jack!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and ready for the weekend. I'm not sleeping too good again, which I think is just down to my sleep apnoea, or my hiatus hernia, or both I called in at the docs the other day to try and make an appointment to get a referral, but after standing there for 10 minutes, watching the receptionist studiously ignoring the 2 people in front of me, I went for coffee instead As it's the Carnival weekend here, (something else the Council are trying to steal), and a 4 day weekend, I need to stock up a bit, as Sunday and Monday, I won't be able to get out of the area at all, and Saturday will be busy too. My works meeting was brief, but positive, last night, and at at some point I have some work to do, but I'm not sure when it's going to come in, hopefully not when I've been drinking rum! I hope your Friday goes well Guardians

Great picture Jack of Harry Hotballs and Gravel. I resemble that picture. I feel I could show up and hang with you guys and have some laughs…especially with a box of pastries. Thanks.

Very elegant

Thanks a lot Kurt, you'd definitely be welcome, especially with pastries! When I first knew Tool Man, an American guy, Mark, used to hang out with us. He lived just up the road from me, and was into old tools and knives, nice guy He was married to an English woman, but hated the climate here, and when their marriage went sour, he was off like a shot!

 

[Jack Black]

I had a much-needed coffee in Charlie's, before heading to town for some provisions - mainly beer! - and another coffee

 

[pat9198]

No idea why I said bone Pat. I sure like it though. The color is superb. Kind of a shade of tobacco. Appreciate the bonus pic. More horn.

I don't know why I say half the things I do, unc! It does resemble a shade of tobacco. I have been thinking creamy caramel as well.

I'm really liking your horn covers Pat !

Thanks buddy!

I'm totin' the lovely Charlie lamb today, have a great weekend!

Werther’s Creamy Caramel I’m pretty sure.. Excellent flat cap Patrick.

An Albers this Friday.

 

[black mamba]

That's a very crispy croissant, Jack, and looks delectable next to your Charlie lamb.

I've been thinking about the sticky toffee pudding a neighbour gave me in return for borrowing my kitchen scales
