This is really bad news about having to use a VPN to view the site, because they're already talking about adding them to the verboten list here![]()
Are they adding knife sites to the verboten list, or VPNs?This is really bad news about having to use a VPN to view the site, because they're already talking about adding them to the verboten list here![]()
I don't recall seeing it Paul, and it certainly IS attractiveI don't remember if I've ever posted the pile side of the Ash lamb before, but it's also quite attractive.

I looked up VPN.
Are they blocking all image sites ? I'm on another forum and a UK member is reporting the same message for my imgur pictures.
It relates to the UK 'Online Safety Act' (I'd post a link, but the results and both confusing, and in some cases political)Are they adding knife sites to the verboten list, or VPNs?
Looking good Mitch
That is never fun Jack! I hope you get to add some rest to your day.Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well. I have a trapped nerve in my neck, which is p[ainful, and kept me awake most of the nightCarrying my AC

In my old age, I've finally been able to eliminate my "gag reflex" when I discover a sliced tomato in a bite of a burger.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.).
Thanks, Jack.Enjoying these old pics Gary![]()

Thanks; I used to be a paid professional.I like your math!
I may have mentioned elsewhere that I'm keeping the new diverter in reserve, because the old one still works in a rugged, pioneering way.

Another slot machine photo would be welcome, Jack....

Thanks buddy![]()
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 today

You're wiser than me, Barrett; I should carry my water bottle much more frequently than I do, especially since I have a nylon "pouch" with shoulder strap that makes carrying water quite easy.I 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.

I definitely prefer 4 miles to 6.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 for the info, Bob.Thanks kindly Gary. I must have made the gods mad, and a plague has settled upon us.
Yes, I do all my cars. It won't hone a knife, but bugs, dirt and tar will not stick.
Thanks, David; I agree!Valley Jack is a dandy![]()

Thanks, Jack and Steve.Very nice Gary !
The stained glass in that pub is very classy, Jack!Thanks Steve, I should have taken a few pics, but it was crowded in the pub. We were struck by how inexpensive Liverpool was compared to Leeds. I had sausage and mash for lunch
We were actually sat at the table in the foreground of this photo!![]()

Classy Lamb GT![]()
Thanks for the kind words, Jack and Kurt.Gary I sure like White Shadow the knife and the name. It puts me in mind of the old radio show The Shadow. The Shadow could hypnotically cloud one’s mind. And when Bob showed pictures of White Shadow that is what happened to me. I had an itch in my mind that was only relieved by asking Cosimo to make my Dill Pickle Shadow Lamb. I look forward to seeing many pictures of yours. And what a generous giveaway by Bob.
Yeah, I liked that show!I think there was also a show about a white high school basketball coach called the White Shadow.

Superb lamb, Bob!
I'm hoping winter brings some relief in the life of "bugs" here.Thanks for the info, Bob.
Is there a "fewer bugs" season in Georgia?
Superb lamb, Bob!
And my kind of corn maze!

Yeah, guess we've all had it at least onceThat is never fun Jack! I hope you get to add some rest to your day.
Nice AC.![]()
It's coming thick and fast Jer!I was wondering if we were all talking about the same they.
They'll probably tell us we're being too political pretty soon.

I once knew someone who reckoned they had an actual FEAR of tomatoes!In my old age, I've finally been able to eliminate my "gag reflex" when I discover a sliced tomato in a bite of a burger.![]()
I have well over 3000 pics of Hartshead Barlow!Thanks, Jack.
For many of my knives, all I have is pictures that are now quite old.
Thanks; I used to be a paid professional.![]()
I'll try to get one GaryAnother slot machine photo would be welcome, Jack.
I need to visit the Guardians online store more often!
If my calculations are correct (6339 issues, 52 weekly issues per year), The People's Friend was 122 years old in July 1991!![]()
It's a nice-looking pub isn't it? Many grand old pubs were built with the railways hereThe stained glass in that pub is very classy, Jack!
Is "real ale" related in any way to "real lamb foot"??
It could be worse amigo!I squirm when my wife eats a tomato as if it's an apple.![]()

It has always outraged me that our masters at every level treat us like retarded criminals, and that my outrage isn't generally shared. Maybe we all think their draconian measures are rightly aimed at other thems.It's coming thick and fast Jer!Rose Beast is coming to me via a server in the Netherlands!

That doesn't look so bad!
Yes, though this one is proving massively unpopular hereIt has always outraged me that our masters at every level treat us like retarded criminals, and that my outrage isn't generally shared. Maybe we all think they rightly aim their draconian measures at other thems.
Bit of a waste of tomatoes, but it looks like a lot of funThat doesn't look so bad!
Kurt, is it the water that makes California's soon strange?I don’t think there’s a lot of tomato on this pizza. A few insects thrown on the pizza couldn’t hurt. And your frogs Bob are the perfect pizza size.

All I really remember about the Mickey Mouse Club isAnd much earlier (mid 1950s?), I remember a "serial" called Corky and White Shadow on the Mickey Mouse Clup TV show. Corky was a cowgirl whose dad (played by Buddy Ebsen) was the town sheriff and White Shadow was her white German Shepherd. It left a permanent impression on my 5-year-old mind.
