Snakewood and leki.


Last weekend at Costco, I had the leki with me, trolley was getting full. So I took it out to close it up to hang on the back.
This lady is watching me and says" I thought you had a gun."
I smiled at her while I'm thinking in my head shit Lady don't say that too loud.

Glad you are still with us Mitch! When I regularly carried a stainless steel thermos flask, I lost count of the times people made similarly stupid remarks!

It was a bit of shocker.
Sadly discretion is the best option these days, sadly.

Yes, you have to be careful what you say these days! The only person who I know that kind of thing has worked out for is a slightly likeable scoundrel from Sheffield, called Gibbo. Twenty five years ago, having taken his young son to the seaside for the day, they were driving back through what is a very posh, and completely white, area near York. The youngster was shooting the water-pistol out of the window, and some old gal rang the police to report 2 armed black men driving around the area. Gibbo ended up on the floor with guns pointed at his head, while the young boy was, obviously, both alarmed and distressed. The out of court settlement subsequently reached was enough for Gibbo to happily retire on (not that he worked anyway, but he did a fair bit of 'grafting' of one sort or another )!

Nice,
Have a great day and coffee for me!

Thanks mate, enjoy your coffee

Our lovable grand master of lambs has done it again.
I was pleasantly surprised with a delivery from Jack.
The lambsfoot will be a treasured addition to my flock. While the carved ram will be holding my winter jacket, if ever needed down here!

Thanks you Jack.View attachment 2996142

I'm glad it made it buddy I imagine your winter jacket there, will be quite different to your winter jacket in Jersey! I certainly didn't need one, but I ordered a new winter jacket at the beginning of the week, after the stockist contacted me to let me know they had one back in stock. After I placed my order, I received an email saying they'd be shipping it in 2-3 weeks, so clearly they didn't have it in stock at all!

I enjoyed the pictures of Tool Man and Boring Ray. Thanks Jack. Two fine friends and fellows. They look like a breeze from the Perfumed Fatties could do them no harm though.

Now that I am reading the Teddy Boy book it’s interesting to compare their fashion choices. Ray’s fashion choices are generic and maybe came from a charity store. A bit of an everyman there. When he dresses he just grabs whatever clothes are handy. Tool Man is a whole different story. The vest, shirt, belt and pants all are statements of fashion and not just a cry of pastry hunger. He likely lays out clothes every morning to choose from and has been since he was a young hooligan giving a wedgy to Boring Ray. Fascinating.

Here’s a lamb and happy Friday.

Thank you Kurt, but that is actually Harry Hotballs in the photo with Tool Man. But, yes, they would both benefit from a bath! Harry (who almost certainly does shop at the charity store), always looks like he's been dragged through a hedge! I try to keep my camera away from Boring Ray, because he inevitably has his eyes closed, pulls a stupid face (an EVEN MORE stupid face), and he is so WHITE that he throws the colour balance off completely Here's Tool Man and Boring Ray from a couple of years ago(I probably had to take a dozen photos to get one of Ray with his eyes open!)



I returned to the bookshop today Kurt, and the Ted book was still there. One of the staff told me it was the best book she had read all year, so I might even read it myself before Tool Man gets it - he'll only look at the photos anyway! Here's Tool Man, dressed up for his wedding, a decade or so ago (Double ACs)





Fabulously fancy Lamb my friend

Thanks my friend !



Another great shot of L'Ariete !



Pretty wild damascus !

Thanks a lot Steve

I hope everyone is having a nice day I went to give blood, and then walked down to Charlie's, before realising I had forgotten my wallet! I decided the trudge back up the hill would be easier after a cup of coffee, so I used the £20 note I stash in my phone case After picking up my wallet, I went iinto town, got a few things in the market, including some nice-looking olives from a new Greek stall, and had some mafe at the African food stall, washed down with their homemade firey ginger and lime drink, and some lemongrass tea



I had a look round the outside market, then caught a bus to the top end of town, and visited the bank, before going to the supermarket. After purchasing Tool Man's Ted book in the bookshop, I had coffee and cake in their cafe, and then headed back home, where I really should be doing housework, rather than lollygaggin'!

Leaving for Indiana in an hour or so and then on to Tennessee tomorrow.

Lollygaggin' for the win !

It’s a shame Victorinox haven’t offered a Lambsfoot as a main blade option.

I'm settled into my hotel room getting ready to watch the Tigers/Mariners game
Go Tigers!

I've had the same thought, but the spear on the SAKs is awfully nicely shaped. A lamb on a SAK just seems wrong somehow
Not that I wouldn't buy one or three

Busy night at work . Government still has not figured out a way to fund the government so it looks like I’m not getting paid next week. Good thing I’ve been a good squirrel and stashed some extra nuts .

Got this awesome burlap lamb that was gifted to me by Jack Black for my shift tonight.

This morning I completed the penultimate walk on my quest to walk the whole Dakota Rail Trail. I’m up to Mile 26 now, which I think might be the last actual mile marker (it was when I did this six years ago, at least). I’ve got another two and half (approx.) miles of trail left to go, which I should knock out next Monday or Tuesday. (Like Miles 2 and 15, the mile marker sign for Mile 25 was missing.)

Today’s walk took me through the small town of New Germany, MN (population: 448). The trail runs right alongside the main road through town for about half a mile. Seems like a nice little town. The space near the trail is kept up nicely.

I remember liking this old Post Office building the last time I came through here. It just has that quiet, small-town Post Office look to it.

The building just to the right of the post office is a bar, and they’ve got a church a little ways further down, so I guess they’ve got their bases covered. They actually have at least three bars (that I saw), all along the main road within a couple hundred feet of each other.

I had my Rhidian What-A-Lamb with me today, as I realized I hadn’t carried it in a while. Hope y'all have a nice weekend lined up.

I am slightly fascinated by American small towns, and the sheer number of them New Germany might be a good place for a bar-crawl! Great pics, as always Barrett, and the weather looks beautiful. Seeing your What-A-Lamb always puts a smile on my face

Afternoon all

Hope you're having a good one mate

Good morning Guardians, I slept badly, and imagine I'll pay for it later Matt's missus is away, and he has the kids, and I think Wolfie might be in a similar position, so I don't know how much I'll see of them this weekend, but I have an arrangement to meet a few other friends in town later. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend Carrying my Pals Lamb
