Nice photos, Steve!

I apparently haven't posted in this thread since at least November 30, in part because I've been spending too much time since then with snow shovel and broom. But I DO have the clearest (by far ) sidewalk on the block.

I didn't even post my Lambsfoot of LAST Week in the Guardians Thread! Last week I was carrying Valley Jack, my desert ironwood 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot, and Steve's 2nd photo inspired me to find a couple of snow shovel handle shots of Valley Jack from back when he arrived in February 2019:

This week, my lambsfoot is White Shadow, a CBD lambsfoot I won on Labor Day in one of Bob's extremely generous guessing games (fortunately Tyson actually did the estimation on my behalf). This is an older photo, but since the arrival of snow on Thanksgiving, White Shadow has expressed, IMHO, an unhealthy interest in camouflage!

Always like the brass Mitch.
Looks like you have the beginnings of a Mexican dish.

Chilli for me
I do eat the spinach when the wife tells me I have to you know how it is.
Kristy got me to grow basil and spinach, to use in dishes at the cafe.

THanks Steve, looks like you've been busy, fantastic pics

Just about fifty years ago! Hard to believe.
I probably made a mistake in the arithmetic.

Love that pic Dave

Meant to drop a follow-up quickie movie review last night and today has been so busy I’m just now checking in. Daniel Craig (along with the whole cast) is excellent in the new Rian Johnson film “Wake Up Dead Man.” It’s the third in the Benoit Blanc detective series that started with Knives Out. Really smart, fun, perfectly cast well-crafted entertainment like the great movies of the golden age. Worth buying a ticket for the theater, athough it’s dropping on Netflix on December 12. Highly recommend. Go see it!

Thanks for the review buddy, that definitely sounds worth checking out

We eat them by the bucketful when in Mississippi. Funny story: The first time I visited my mother in law's little town on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a local fellow told me to be sure I tried the "bald nuts" when I visited the local farmers market stand in the center of town. After he left, I turned to my wife and said: I don't think I want to try bald nuts. She laughed and told me he was saying "BOILED 'nuts," in local parlance with heavy drawl.

LOL! Back in the 1980's, I was eating some pistachio nuts in a pub, and the brother of a friend I was with, who had just moved to Sheffield from a small town in the North East, was watching me intently. I offered him some, and he took one, opened it carefully, put it into his mouth, and said, "They taste a lot better without the shells!" I got to know Steve pretty well, but not long after, another friend told me that they had seen him in another pub, on his first night in Sheffield, amiably drunk, but complaining about the nuts he was trying to eat

Nice crop Mitch

New cap? (I googled Failsworth.)
So while I was at it I googled "weighted blanket". (Two guys at work were talking about sleeping troubles.(In the old days, I'd have asked them what's a weighted blanket and had a bit of social interaction.)) It's a sack of weighty beads amounting to 10% of the sleeper's body weight, which makes the sleeper feel hugged, and stimulates release or production or something, of some kind of soporific secretions.
Some people keep their houses too warm. I sleep under a weight of real blankets, so I always feel hugged and maxiphrined without any danged modern gadgets, dagnabbit. (Maybe some social interactions are better avoided.)

I think the cap is actually Charlie's Jer I have bought several Failsworth caps this year, but now they come in S-XL sizes, which is no good at all for a cap. I'm hoping I don't lose my own Failsworth tweed cap, because I'd struggle to replace it now

A 'weighted blanket' eh, just how everyone used to sleep?! My first duvet lasted me at least 10 years, now you're lucky to get 2 years out of them The last time I bought a 100% goose down duvet, it turned out to be 10% down. Returning it to the Big River site was a struggle, and 6 years later, the same firm are still lying about them there

Hope everyone is having a good day I had some work to do first thing, but it didn't take me long, and I headed straight to town. The rain got much heavier, so I ducked in a pub for a cheap breakfast (not at great breakfast, but can't complain at £3.99). I went to the bank, supermarket, and then to the post office, only to find that Leeds' main post office has been closed. There wasn't even a notice up, explaining why, or where an alternative might be found. I only needed to post a letter fortunately, and had a stamp in my wallet, but then I struggled to find a post box!

Great-looking Howarth buddy

That's a pretty plate.

The house I grew up in had one mailbox one block downhill and another one one block uphill. Those are both gone, but I have to restrain my curmudgeonliness. There's still a mailbox in the apartment complex across from my church two blocks away, and one at the fire station four blocks away.

Thanks Steve, yeah, I hope so!

Strangely, when that pub chain introduced those plates, some folks didn't like them (they were previously plain white)

Nice pic Jer Where I grew up, there were 5 within 100 yards, 3 on the opposite side of the road, plus a post office, and 2 on our side of the road. We did live on a main road, but you never had to walk far to find either a post box or a post office. My nearest post box today is about 200 yards away, but only because there was a post office there, until it closed down 20 years ago. After that, the next post box is a mile away.

Wonderful Lambsfoot and Charlie composition my friend

Good day Guardians !


I've had a busy and frustrating day installing a bathroom exhaust fan for a friend. It was a chore removing the old one as someone sprayed liberal amounds of expanding foam all around it which effectively glued it to everything including the electrical and exhaust duct. I got the new one installed but I'm going to have to do some drywall patching around the hole the old one left and the damage inflicted in removal.

These jobs never go easy and now my neck hurts


Carrying Slick today

Polyurethane foam is tough, extremely sticky stuff. We used it to plug open, vertical mine shafts with it...then we poured 4 feet of concrete over it and it held. Always kind of amazed me. Whatever it got on it stayed on. Shaft wall, rock, clothes, shoes, hats, sunglasses, skin. Great stuff
There is some guy advertising a miracle stain remover that is supposed to dissolve PUF. If he'd been advertising back when I was working, I'd probably have bought a bottle to try.
