Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians, and we're into another week, and steaming rapidly through November! I hope everyone had a great weekend I had a late work meeting, that went on until 9.30pm, and just as I thought I could relax, an urgent job came in, and I took it, so it was about 12.30am before I'd finished. I have something else to write today, but I'll be taking it easy Have a goood week everyone

Weather looks good Mitch, cool pics

Thanks Jack.
The weather has been around 75f today.
9.30 over time? Tine and a half?
Have a great day.

 

[screened porch]

There must be some ice out there, judging by the number of highway-closing crashes we've had overnight and into the morning. However, the only hazardous weather predicted is heavy lake effect snow in the lakeshore counties today, with nothing for days 2-7.
I'm a county back from the lake.
Of course that's when they get you.

I had a gift for Hisham in the cafe, and when I got there, one of the 2 local pharmacists who call in there, insisted on paying for my coffee I headed to town after, for bread and a few other provisions. As I had some work waiting, I decided to have lunch at home, rather than in town. Pastrami on ciabatta Work didn't take me long Hope everyone else is having a good day

Another cold morning and another dusting of the white stuff overnight.

I called in an elf food shop today for something, and noticed they haf some Sam Smiths beers, which I've not drank in a while. Bit overpriced, but I took a couple home with me Cheers Guardians

Your Barrett GL-24 is a winner, Mitch!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week I'm off to the docs today, for some routine appointment. Hoping to meet up with Wolfie after, for some lunch, if he isn't too busy with work. Got my Pals Lamb with me, thanks guys Have a great day

Your ebony lambsfoot is very dignified and distinguished, Jack!

I had the day off yesterday and didn't get a lot done, but did groceries, laundry, and dishes. There's more brush to get out, and, and. ...
There's a funeral at church today. I tried to get the day off, but I only found about it Tuesday night, so no dice. I could call in sick, but I don't want to lie so I can go to church.
It'll get done without me.

Jer, I'm enjoying your recent photos in this thread and others showing off your knives' splendor in the grass!

I've just been for an ultrasound scan fellers my age are getting here now. Good news is I'm not pregnant!

That result must have been quite a relief, Jack!
What, besides pregnancy, is the ultrasound intended to detect?

I feel like I am staggering around in the dark a lot of the time Gary! I think that part of the problem may be the VPN itself, which seems to significantly affect my connection speeds. When I first looked, this time I was getting the purple Imgur notice. When I connected the VPN, I was just getting a sort of 'broken thumbnail' like yesterday, (though all the other images are showing). However, in my quote I can see the image fine - a very cool pic Using the VPN is a pain in the backside, but as it turns out, I only need to connect to see your photos Gary, I think everyone else is uploading their images directly to BF

I switched to uploading images directly once I learned it was an option, but once most of us were suddenly prevented from doing so in March 2024 because we'd all exceeded attachment limits that hadn't been enforced until then, I switched back to using an image hosting site (first post images.org, and later imgur.com with no account) when posting photos. I never saw a clear announcement that direct uploading was again available, nor did I see any notification about "expanded" limits on attachments. Did I miss something?

Your moon is much better Gary. I took the photo at 7 this morning, much too bright out.
I like the grain on your lamb.

Thanks for the encouraging words, Bob.
I'm enjoying your bright morning photos now that we're all back to Standard Time.

Afternoon Guardians! Beautiful fall around these parts. Happy trails

What's the first line of the tang stamp say on your red lamb, David? Sure looks like a nice A. Wright lambsfoot, but that tang stamp looks like J. something to me. (My eyes are less than ideal, though. )

Elegant ebony on a sophisticated star stump, Steve!

Good morning Guardians, hope everyone is well, and that you made it through to the weekend I watched a sort of John Wick film last night - Ballerina - It featured a town full of crazy, violent people, where outsiders aren't welcome. I'm sure we can all think of one or two places like that I washed it down with a particularly nice Argentinian Malbec I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly today, but I discussed going into town with Matt, so we'll see Carrying some Damascus today Have a great day Guardians, and enjoy your weekend

Another splendid knife, Jack, but not nearly as "understated" as your Pals Lamb!

Happy Saturday Guardians !

Delectable stag, Steve, and a cheerful photo!

Jack started us off and Steve followed, so it looks like an A. Wright's stag Saturday for the Guardians.

Notable stag number 3, Jeff!

And Will, looks like you're batting clean-up in this lineup of consecutive stellar stag!

Bean time Guardians!

David, you're #5 in this superb stag streak!

Didn't have a lamb yesterday out and about. Did have an eye test and order new glasses, cost a fortune with all the bells and whistles & I only want 1 pair not 2. Santa won't be bringing me much this year.
.

I usually think glasses are very expensive when I have to get a new pair, but when I take the cost and divide by the number of days I use the glasses before I have to replace them, it usually comes out much less than a dollar per day. And that seems well-worth it to me for a day of enhanced vision!

I went to church tonight for the West Michigan flute orchestra, quartet, and ensemble. Quite a mob. And not as shrill as I'd feared. They had alto, bass, and elephantine flutes. The bass flutes are bent because nobody could reach all the notes in a straight line. The elephantine flutes are about six feet long with a figure four at the top.
...

I'm not very musically inclined (although I enjoy many kinds of music), and have almost no knowledge about wind instruments. I had no idea that there were so many kinds of flutes!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a nice weekend Stuck in the house with some work today, but that's the way it goes, better than working in a steel mill Hoping I have the makings of a sausage sammich later Have a good one Guardians

Your Waboom lamb on a cannon is a clever shot, Jack!

Evening all
I cooked a roast for Sunday family dinner

Meat, potatoes, and vegetables - that was the iconic Sunday dinner (noon meal after church) when I was a lad! (I'll bet we actually had that menu for Sunday dinner less than once a month, though.)

There's snow on the grass this morning, but not on the paving.
Thank heavens I have a Duluth Trading Company Canvas Trench Coat to huddle in. Anyway, highs are well above freezing for a few days, last I looked.

Definitely too cold too soon for my taste! I still have lots of oak leaves that need to fall from the trees and get picked up by me before winter arrives in earnest.

Yesterday, my wife and I took a stroll along the Savannah river. We came
upon some racing.

Classy knife, Bob!
The sculling photo reminds me of one of my favorite sights when my daughter took me to Sevilla, Spain the day after Christmas 2014. The Guadalquivir River had many sleeveless kayakers on it when we walked along the river. (I thought I had a photo, but I can't find it.)

Good morning Guardians !

What, besides pregnancy, is the ultrasound intended to detect?

Yes, I don't need that at my time of life! They have started scanning men here over 64 for signs of a forthcoming aortic aneurysm. The prognosis in my case was good, nothing at all to worry about

I never saw a clear announcement that direct uploading was again available, nor did I see any notification about "expanded" limits on attachments. Did I miss something?

I can't remember if there was something in Technical or not, rare I get a chance to check, but it seems to be working great now, which is handy as things went south with my imgur account some time ago

Another splendid knife, Jack, but not nearly as "understated" as your Pals Lamb!

Thanks again my friend

Your Waboom lamb on a cannon is a clever shot, Jack!

Appreciated Gary, that is one of the historic cannons outside the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. It's been a while since I've had time to visit
