Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[btb01]

Hopefully those ospreys don’t extend the nest to the end of the insulator. Interesting to see glass insulators still in use. Around here everything is ceramic.

I was thinking the same thing, seems dangerously close to being fried osprey.

Good morning Guardians, I'll probably be needing to return from the market early, for a nap, today, as I didn't get a lot of sleep last night It's not raining at least, but we're definitely into Autumn here now. It was always my favourite season, but these days, we tend to go straight into Winter, which in Britain, means RAIN! I have Charlie's superb FC Lamb with me today Have a good one Guardians

Did a few days drinking with Bod wear you out? I know you’ve said before that he can really put ‘em away.

I hope you get to enjoy some actual autumn, Jack, and not just rainy might-as-well-be-winter autumn.

Good morning Guardians !

Lovely bone on that old Lamb, Steve.

I'm totin' a Real Lamb Foot for market day. I hope everyone has a good one!

Nice shot of your GL-24. Some nice well-worn character to the Micarta on the pile side of your knife.

I hope everyone is having a good day. The weather has been ok today, with only a little rain so far, but it was decidedly quiet at the market. The Teds are off to some old Rockers event at the weekend, and Gravel has gone early. Golden Gordon was missing, and there was no sign of Harry Hotballs. I did briefly see Captain Birdseye, but he was not looking too well. Nobber Al called over briefly, but apart from that, our only visitor was Slimline Scott, who called in briefly during his lunch-hour. We did have a professional visitor though, in the form of a reporter, who was collecting comments for a story about the City Council's latest plans to screw over the market traders Tool Man didn't take much brass in the 3 or 4 hours I was there, but his state pension kicks in this month, so he didn't seem too perturbed. Boring Ray was so quiet, he asked if I wanted to use anything on his stall as a backdrop for a knife photo or two. I was quite interested in a 'one-arm bandit' he had, though rather shocked by the £450 price tag. Tool Man remarked, "That's why it's still there!"

Cool pic, Jack! When I was a kid, my grandpa had a slot machine in his house. He’d give us a bucket of nickels (at least I think it was a nickel machine) any time we’d visit and let us have at it. The slot machine eventually ended up in the basement at my parent’s house. It sat on top of a locking cabinet, to which my brother, at some point, ended up with the only key. In high school he’d stash liquor in there so our parents wouldn’t find it.

It wasn’t quite as sunny or warm for my walk today, which was fine by me. The weather was nice, upper 70s and mostly cloudy.

The part of the trail I walked today passed through the small town of St. Bonifacius, MN, which is home to this comically small public library that’s not far off the trail.

While most of the bridges along the Dakota Rail Trail are old railroad trestle bridges that were converted for walking/cycling, this bridge, which crosses MN State Highway 7, appears to have been built specifically for the trail.

I decided to carry my GL-24 again today. I don’t think it’s gotten enough pocket time in the last few months.

I wonder what the inspection interval is on that power line. From the size of the insulators it is rather high voltage. That nest should be removed. Here in dry Kommiefornia that would be a very hazardous fire danger and power companies have to be careful not to be sued for negligent maintenance programs when a power line causes a fire.
