Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[5K Qs]

Morning Guardians! Another day in the mid seventies. This Lamb came with a atrocious edge. I'm slowly working on it. Happy trails

Wow, David, I don't expect another day in the mid-70s until mid- or late-May!

Cool photo of probably my favorite production model lambsfoot!
Back in the 1950s and '60s, we had a nut cracker almost exactly like the one at the top of your photo, and a set of nut picks like yours, too. Ours were stored with all the Christmas stuff because we never had nuts except at Christmas season.

Howdy Guardians

Warm and cloudy here today. I spent the day getting the car ready and packing for a trip to Tennessee. I'm planning on leaving Monday. Might go tomorrow if the weather looks good, but its supposed to rain with a precipitous drop in temperatures.

Planning to watch the Missouri Tigers in the Gator Bowl this evening. Hope everybody is having a pleasant day.

Elegant ebony WCLF, Jack! I think it's even more stunning when open than when closed.

That's interesting Jer Along with our Christmas presents, we always got a stocking with an apple, an orange, and a shiny new penny in. Of course, fruit was still considered exotic in Britain then, as it still is in some parts of the country Unlike Tool Man's house, where it is positively banned!

When I was a lad, I don't remember ever having oranges except at Christmas. On the last Sunday before Christmas, we always had a Sunday School program in the evening at church, with each age group usually singing a Christmas carol or two. Afterward, the Sunday School teachers would hand out a big plastic bag to each of their students, with each bag containing 1 or 2 apples and oranges, a bunch of different "exotic" types of nuts, some candy canes, and some chocolate candies with various types of filling (mint filling was my favorite, cherries the worst).

Good morning all, another lazy weekend.

Awesome rosewood HHB, David!

Bonus pic and some Cassie pics in the snow.

She loves the snow, just not getting her picture taken when I should be throwing something for her instead.

Steve, that last pic of Cassie in the snow puzzles me. How did she get where she is? I don't see tracks to get her there? Do you sometimes throw things for Cassie, and sometimes actually toss Cassie??

My trip to town didn't go quite as planned, as I forgot my wallet (again)! I didn't realise until I was a mile down the road at the cafe. It turned out I had over £10 in change in my pocket, and after I'd opened the back of my phone, and various other stash places, I had nearly £100, so I went to town anyway....

If I started checking inside my clothes and found I'd gained 100 pounds, I'd be compelled to go on a crash diet!

Pic from last week since I’m out and about today. Happy Two’s Day, Guardians! View attachment 3062815

Crazy Eights, Dave; love those lambsfoot sowbellies!

Stay safe everyone, and I hope you have a magnificent 2026!

Always a gentleman in your responses Gary.
Thank you and may you find health, happiness and a few new knives in the coming year.

That looks dangerous! Is it something your Space Lamb has picked up in space?!

I trust not. Putting it in my beans would have been a grave breach of xenoflora handling protocols.
