Glad to hear you get to sleep in and avoid the rain

Thanks Steve
A brazos from Texas.

I just ordered some of these wipes after seeing your pic. With winter coming on anti-fog on the specs sounds like a good idea.



Thank you gentlemen

Huh.

Mike they are not perfect but does make a big difference for me.
There are heaps of different brands. You should be able to pick them up at your local drug store.
That's what I do, there called chemist's here. Hope they help.

It was still shortly before 11pm when we left, but strangely, a lot of bars had either closed, or were closing. We ended up at one I've not been in for a decade, where I "tasted" Pabst Blue Ribbon for the first time

What did you think of the Pabst ?

I like fuller-flavoured beers Steve, so I'm afraid it's appeal was rather wasted on me

Not surprised, never liked Pabst. Even among American beers of my youth it wasn't consider very good.

I was very surprised to see it on sale here Steve. It didn't seem to taste of anything at all, but then some folks seem to like that in a beer

I like Pabst Blue Ribbon. I never liked Miller, which is my epitome of flavorlessness, and has fleeting, detergent-like foam.
As I recall.

Jack Black 20 years ago, I tended to associate PBR with broke hipsters - if they had any money they'd be drinking incredibly bitter IPAs; Pabst was for when they were low on money. Since I've never been very hip, I've never been much of a fan of PBR (or of IPAs).

Although I don't think I've drunk PBR in at least 40 years, I found this discussion interesting. Unlike Steve, back when I started drinking beer in the early to mid 1970s, about the only type of beer anyone I knew drank was American lagers, and they all tasted the same to me, with 2 exceptions. I thought I'd be able to identify PBR and Budweiser in blind taste tests, and I LIKED Pabst more than the "standard" lagers, while I didn't care for the different taste of Bud (maybe the rice used in Bud?).
I wonder if Pabst tastes the same today as it did in 1977, when (according to Wikipedia) it was third on the list of most beer sold in the US? I should try some again and see if it tastes familiar. I'm more "sophisticated" about beer ingredients now than I was 50 years ago, and I wonder if what I liked about PBR's taste back then is that it was a little maltier than most other American lagers.

I had two coyote sightings yesterday. My computer overlooks my back yard, which is often why I see them. At 1:50 pm my eye was caught by one trotting across the middle of the yard. He looked around a bit and went back into the field behind my yard. Then a little before 6 pm I was in the yard doing tai chi and I saw one on the other side of the hedge moving deeper into the field.

Excellent ebony!
One of my brothers has lived in Troy, MI (a suburb of Detroit) for decades, and there's a strip of woods containing a stream that runs behind his property (and at least a mile beyond in each direction, I think). He's always seen wildlife back there, but in recent years, coyotes have become a menace. He claims his backyard is his during daylight hours, but the coyotes have taken over at night.

CelloDan would have them balancing his Lambsfoot on their noses by now!

Dan is amazing!

Every October day without rain is a bonus in England, so I've had a fairly good day, despite the market being dead as a doornail Tool Man was pleased with his book, and with the doughnuts, and we had some good crack. Nobber Al was there, as was Ex-Para Steve, who said he'd woken up at 4.30am, and decided to come down early, after he'd taken the dog for a walk. The long-suffering Perfume Fatties were there, but a few of the other traders had knocked. The Tool Stall regulars are in equally short supply these days, and only Gravel and Harry Hotballs made brief appearances (though I did see Slimline Scott after I left). An occasional visitor is Ken, who was a gaffer at a famous Leeds tank factory, and who walks around in shorts and sandals whatever the weather. When he said he had recently spent 4 nights in hospital, I asked if he'd had frostbite!

Thanks, as always, for the interesting market report, Jack.

Bob I like your bike. Thanks for the Market Report Jack. I’m only up to the late 1950’s in the Ted book. It is a deep dive into Tedism. So far no mention of Tool Man yet. But he was probably just an untattooed hungry pudgy baby with hooligan tendencies at that time. Uh-oh that sounds like me now except I’m tattooed. I could be Tool Man’s doppelgänger. I want a donut…

Striking knife, Kurt!
Your comparing yourself to Tool Man had me laughing!

Maiden voyage, hope the wheels stay on after I assembled it!!View attachment 3000760View attachment 3000761

Congrats on the fantastic new bike, Bob! That must be like a limousine; I've never had a bike with shock absorbers, but it looks like you have them both front and rear!

Afternoon Guardians! Nice bike Bob Thanks for the market report Jack Happy trails

David, your new white ram horn May lambsfoot matches the color of the frame of Bob's new bike!

Sleep tight Gary. Perhaps take the nice ebony out of the pj's first!!

One of my favorites !

Looking good Gary

Thanks for the compliments on my ebony Guardians lambsfoot, Bob & Steve & Jack.

I had to call in the pharmacy, as they missed my BP medication off my last prescription, and then saw the BP quack at the surgery. I called in at Charlie's cafe. It has been dead all week, and the new discount bakery that has opened a few yards away is clearly hitting their trade. Hisham seems a bit oblivious. My first stop in town was at the bank, but weirdly they only had Scottish notes available! Since barely any English businesses accept them, I passed, and just took care of my other business Just having a cuppa, and a Bakewell slice

Jack, it seems like you spend a lot of time trying to deal with dysfunctional aspects of English society!

Splendid pair of lambsfoot sowbellies!

Thanks pal, my current average is 124/72

That sound very acceptable to me, Jack; well done!

Brian

Fabulous photo, Mitch!

Jack, that is some wonderful feathered horn! RALF and I are wishing you a better day than your insomniac night.

Jeff, I always enjoy seeing RALF, and I think he's especially handsome with the stippling!

My day off for today went through all right. The sun is peeping out, so the protest will probably have a good crowd which I am happy to avoid. I have a couple of things to do today- schedule the car service, sort out my Lowe's benefits, run out and pick up a prescription. Convex the edge on a new non-lambsfoot.
Tai chi, pa kua, squat thrusts, push-ups, and Indian clubs.
I also hope to get to an antiques mall.

YWZA! I feel like I've had a full Saturday if I manage to bring my wife her bakery order in bed and get the weekly laundry done!

Looks like it's time to harvest.

This was the first version of "Cotton Fields" I ever heard, and when I was in my teens, this was one of my go-to songs to sing to myself while I was unloading bales of hay from a wagon and sending them up the conveyor to a brother stacking them in the barn. Never raised any cotton on our Michigan dairy farm.

Good morning Guardians !

It looks like it's going to be a lovely fall day here.

AC Lamb is in my pocket. Have a great day all

Your AC (and your photos) are superb, Steve!

So glad it’s the weekend!

Your GL-24 is looking grand!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend, so far I ended up calling in at Charlie's, then going into town for some lunch with friends. I had some work to do, and am glad I got on with it, as my internet went down not long after, which is why I'm not posting until now. Had to watch a movie on DVD

View attachment 3002603

Well, I'm up to all of fifteen four-count squat thrusts, but tonight they suddenly felt springy instead of sloggy. With fewer and shorter pauses for contemplation.
I'm just repeatedly astonished how far I can slip in how many ways, after just a few decades of self-neglect.

I think I'm in quite good shape for my age, Jer, but there's no way I could do 15 squat-thrusts! Good for you!

...

I'm unashamedly copying Steve, and carrying my AC Lambsfoot Have a great day Guardians

Your AC is Absolutely Charming, Jack!

Highs below 60 starting today!
Spring is right around the corner

I always get enthused when I hear your frequent optimistic reminders of impending spring, Jer, but this one seems quite premature (unless you're speaking on behalf of the Southern Hemisphere, or you mean that the corner around which Spring lurks is actually quite a distance away).

I've been reading a book I picked up, some 'Yorkshire Noir' set in Leeds!

That looks like the kind of book that tends to dominate my library loans!

Thanks Gary, it really makes a difference on the trails and bumps over my old bike.

I can imagine it makes quite a difference, Bob.

I forgot to post a couple of photos of Cracker Jack, my AC lambsfoot of the week. Here's Cracker Jack with Cracker Jack.
