I like your math!5 items at 20% discount for each: you saved 100% overall, Jer! I'd call that a bargain!
I've gone through a lot of those shower-diverter "switches" in the 40 years we've spent in this house.
Many thanks Bob, L'Ariete is a great user, as well as a beautiful knifeL'Ariete is developing some nice character, Jack.
It sounds like a relaxing day, and I hope the weather cooperates tomorrow.
Nice

Thanks, Jack.
Salutary shadow, Jack!
You can order them through the Guardians online storeI gotta get me one of those "Not a Lambsfoot" signs!
Jack, it looks like your GL-24 is taking on a gigantic COVID virus!
Thanks buddyStunning stag and steel, Jack!
My mother used to read a women's magazine called 'The People's Friend', which was even more fogeyish Gary! I believe it is much the same todayI think the Dalesman might be a magazine I'd enjoy. 50 years ago I was a manly man in the prime of my manhood, and I look back fondly on those times!
Thanks again Gary, hope you're having a good dayRavishing Ram, Jack!
Stunning shot Steve
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good weekProbably call in at Charlie's while I'm out

Many thanks Steve, we had a good time the last time we were over there
It means an early start though, so I'll not get a chance to post in the morning though 
I'm going to be carrying my regular travelling companion, Wee Staggy, though 
No doubt in my mind Charlie.If I could, I would!!
Beautiful pic too Steve
Looks glorious Paul
Great pics Bob
Thanks for another trail report, Barrett.
Do you usually carry water with you on your hikes? I do a lot of walking, but I usually don't carry a water bottle unless the temperature is at least mid-80s.
Handsome 2-blade lambsfoot!
Cool little library, Barrett; do you know if it's affiliated with a county or state library network or "cooperative"? A library really doesn't need much physical space these days if they "share" holdings with a bunch of other locations.
I gotta get me one of those "Not a Lambsfoot" signs!
Breathtaking burl on your Albers lamb, Barrett!
6 miles at a time is pretty impressive to me, Barrett!
My goal is to average just over 7 miles per day, but most of my walks are 3-4 miles at a time. On weekends, I'll often do a longer walk, but anything over 6 miles, I start dragging toward the end.
The problem now is that I have an uneven number of miles left (11 miles of trail, 22 miles of walking), so I really need to do another 6-mile day to even things out. Otherwise I’ll have to make an additional trip out to do just a single mile of trail, and I’d rather not (particularly because, the further I get out on the trail, the longer of a drive it is for me to get there).
Thanks kindly Gary. I must have made the gods mad, and a plague has settled upon us.Bob, it sounds like you've moved to a jungle full of unfamiliar beasts (frogs, fire ants, ...)!Glad your wife came out OK.
Distinguished diamond-shield lamb!
Do you do the ceramic coating yourself, Bob? Once the car has a ceramic coating, can you hone a knife on it??
Waynorth Flat Cap on the rocks really hits the spot!
Great HHB BarrettI almost always bring water with me. I have a couple SIGG water bottles that are good for carrying on a walk — they’re aluminum and uninsulated, so very lightweight. But if it’s warm out, I’ll bring a heavier, insulated water bottle with me so I can have cold water. If I happen to find a place to park that’s in the middle of the section of trail I’m walking, I might leave my water in the truck and stop halfway for a drink. Otherwise, I just carry it with me.
You’ve got it exactly right, GT. It’s part of the Hennepin County Library system, which we use a lot and find to be really great. I think there are 40+ libraries, and you can get any book from any of them and have it available at the library closest to you within a couple days. We’ve been to several of the libraries near us, as well as the big main library in Minneapolis.
That’s probably my favorite wood on any knife I have. It was also my first Albers Lambsfoot.
I definitely prefer 4 miles to 6.
No trail walk today, though. Instead, I spent part of my morning setting up a new pressure washer so I can get a few projects done outside while the weather’s still nice. (Although it is “new,” I actually bought the pressure washer a couple years ago on an end of season sale. Just hadn’t gotten around to using it yet.)

Enjoying your pics buddy He's thin as a rake, but it's dangerous stuff, reckon we'll have a plague of fat kids this time next year! 
I bought a sourdough baguette, from a bakery in town, this afternoon. I've made up a couple of Camembert sandwiches, wrapped them up, and put them in the fridge overnight, in the hope the bread will soften up! It's seriously crusty, and I don't want to lose any teeth! It might be Sunday before I get back here, so have a great weekend everyone 
Many thanks Steve, we had a good time the last time we were over there
