Good morning, Guardians! Purple Burlwith my espresso this morning
️. Glad to be back home. NYC was a productive work trip. It’s a fun time to visit but the big city is already getting crowded for the holidays.

I forgot to post pics along the way so here are a few highlights. View attachment 3023486View attachment 3023487View attachment 3023488View attachment 3023489View attachment 3023490View attachment 3023491View attachment 3023492View attachment 3023493View attachment 3023494
Looks like a good trip, Dave. I’ve never been to NYC (other than flying through JFK once or twice).
I had the best shod postman in Yorkshire!
I bet he appreciated it!
I must be about the only person of my age, in the Western World, who didn't get to see the Moon landings live!There were kids in the Kalahari Desert who saw it, but my dad thought I should be in bed on a school night!
That’s a shame.
Don’t work yourself too hard, Duncan!
From 5 to 17 (when I got my first leather jacket), I was strictly double denims Bob!
Ah, the Canadian Tuxedo.
Both Matt and his missus were originally born in the obscure Northern English county of Lancashire, which is a thin strip of undeveloped land between Yorkshire and the Irish Sea. Strangely, they are not embarrassed about this, which always surprises me.
Even less people have heard of Lancashire Day than have heard of Lancashire itself. In fact, neither Matt nor Ruth had ever heard of it, until I raised the subject as a bit of a joke. It is coming up at the end of the month, so I have bought them a few Lancashire gifts by way of commiseration.
I'm not sure what stories they have to tell about Lancashire, but I can't see them being very interesting. Opening a page at random, I read, "Can I have a Chorley cake, a steak and kidney pudding, and 3 balm cakes please Mr Roberts? Eee, yi've got a face like a wet weekend in Preston!" I guess they can always use it as a door-stop

That’s funny. I’ve heard of Lancashire, but have to admit I know next to nothing about it.
I’ve been hearing a few northern accents recently, watching the latest series of Taskmaster (currently one of my favorite British shows, which I discovered over the summer and have since watched all 20 series, which are thankfully all on YouTube in their entirety). On the current series (series 20, which just ended this week), three of the five comedian-contestants are from the North: Phil Ellis is from Preston in Lancashire, Maisie Adam is originally from Pannal, near Harrogate, and Reece Shearsmith is from Hull.
More than a decade ago, Tool Man had a boxed Dremel for sale on his stall at £10. A punter offered him £4 for it. I kept my mouth shut...for a while. Then I angrily shouted, "That Dremel is a bargain at £10, and you can £$&@ off, because I'm going to buy it!" I insisted that Tool Man take my money, took the box home, put it in my tool cupboard, and there it stayed!
That’s a generous return policy!
I'm not sure about drunk but they were definitely Korean! It's the Astell&Kern A&Norma SR25.
It looks weird in every position except in your hand. When held with the wrist in a natural and comfortable position, the screen is then aligned straight up and down even though the device isn't! It sounds good and natively supports DSD256 (DSD 11.2 MHz) and 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM audio which probably nobody, least of all me, really needs. Maybe I'll grow into it - they say that the phenomenon of the group of self-described audiophiles being nearly exclusively older men is explained by men, nearly exclusively, becoming more sensitive to noise artifacts in recorded sound as they age.
Here it is again and with the lamb I've been bumbling around with today:
That’s interesting. I can see what you mean about the screen when you hold it… as long as it’s not with your left hand.
Evening Guardians! Good you got some time at the market Jack. GL-24 with me today
View attachment 3024883
Looking good!
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and that you have something interesting planned for the weekendOr maybe you just want to do some lollygaggin'
GL-24 for me
Interesting pic, Jack. I’m actually about halfway through Böri Øegg’s Nnnnnnnnnnn Nnnnn right now.
I spent a good bit of the day yesterday working on leaf cleanup. Finished up this morning. HHB with me again.

Stellar pic Great shot of your Flat-Cap Lamb buddy
Yeah, wasn't even because my dad was concerned about my school workThat’s a shame.
Ah, the Canadian Tuxedo.
I think it can be summed up in just 3 words Barrett - It isn't Yorkshire!
I'm never sure about TV accents, and that series had completely passed me by until now!
I may have been pulling some odd expressions while watching it! Pannal is only about 20 minutes up the road from me 
I thought about charging interest!That’s a generous return policy!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend I called in at the cafe, and then met up with Wolfie, and a few more friends for lunch. It has never stopped raining all day, but we ended up taking his dog for a walk later. I met up with my pal Doug, who lives over in Halifax, later, and we shared a pizza, and had a couple of pints

You have to have registered your Tilley hat to be able to get it replaced, by the way. I think that's a new rule, because I remember wondering if they'd just give a hat to anybody who said he'd lost one. Mine was new eighteen or twenty years ago.

I think it's fair to say that company is not what it was
A company here used a quote from one of my articles for a decade, saying their "no-nonsense" guarantee appeared to demonstrate a high level of confidence in their products. When I returned a jacket with a broken popper, they charged me £20 
Sadly, guarantees aren't always what they seem these days Yeah, it was OK SteveSounds like you made the best of a rainy day

Good morning Guardians, I'm coming to you live from Japan today! I hope everyone is well, and that you're all having a great weekend The weather here, doesn't look much better today, and with Charlie's cafe closed for refurbishment, I don't think I'll be venturing out until later. I'm taking Matt out for a birthday curry, and a few pints In the meantime, I have some housework to do 
Have a great day Guardians, enjoy your Sunday

That's above and beyond for shabby treatment.A company here used a quote from one of my articles for a decade, saying their "no-nonsense" guarantee appeared to demonstrate a high level of confidence in their products. When I returned a jacket with a broken popper, they charged me £20
Which for some reason reminds me of the movie, Robin and Marian: "'The people would follow you, Robin. The things you did...' "We never did them!'"Sadly, guarantees aren't always what they seem these days
Can you eat natto? They used to ask all the time.Good morning Guardians, I'm coming to you live from Japan today!
Maybe half a bite if it's fried.
I got my eavestroughes cleared yesterday. They were dryer than usual, and I've never done that job on such a warm day.
