Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Thanks, Jack. Like you, I had only seen those things at used car lots and business grand-openings, but apparently they make quite effective scarecrows.



Sorry to hear that, Jeff.



Thanks, Dan. Lazy is my default setting.



Thanks, Duncan. Unfortunately Eleanor isn’t joining me on these walks this time around. She and I did this whole trail together maybe 5 or 6 years ago (that’s when the photo of her I posted a couple weeks back was from), but I’m on my own this time around, walking while the girls are in school.



Merry Christmas!



I’m the same way, GT. I’ll eat just about anything you can make with tomatoes, but I don’t want to eat one on its own (nor do I want sliced tomato on my sandwich, burger, etc.).



I do that, too, Dan. Sometimes I’ll give a knife a test run — factory edge, carry it in a slip — to see if I’m ready to make it a user.

I walked four miles on the Dakota Rail Trail today, from mile 17 to 19 and back. (It actually ended up being a little over four miles, as there was no place to park between those two mile markers, so I had to start a little ways before from the mile 17 marker).

Much like the parking options, there wasn’t much to see on this section of the trail. It’s was definitely the most rural bit so far. There may have been a house or two off in the distance, but it was pretty much two miles of just trail.

There was a brief break in the tree coverage for this small bridge crossing.

I had my Waynorth Flat Cap Lambsfoot with me today, pictured here on my charcoal chimney starter that I sometimes use as a background for knife pics. If it looks a little flatter than normal, well, that’s because it is. I usually grill out on our front deck, and when I dump out the lit coals, I don’t want to set the red-hot chimney starter down on the wood deck, so I set it on the driveway. Well I forgot about it the other night, and Julie accidentally ran over it. It’s just about as flat as a pancake, so I had to pick up a new one today.

One more pic. I spotted this Mini Cooper when I was out running some errands yesterday, and got a laugh out of its D.B. Cooper vanity plate.

Right!!!
Gotchya on that Barrett matey!

Well hello there. Fortunately I think I am through the worst of the work stuff. Been thinking about you all and am happy to say….. I’m back!!! More than I can say about the Dallas Cowboys. It’s gonna be a long season.

About to get off of work and thought I would check in. Been carrying this beautiful lamb for the past few days.

To clarify on the Dallas Cowboys being back. I’m referring to 1996 when I was 10 years old . I’ve been waiting for them to come back for almost 30 years.
