Good luck JerView attachment 3107702
The balmy weather continues. Wednesday is supposed to be 60 degrees with likely showers. If it rains I can rinse off the salt by just driving around and parking outside.If it doesn't rain, it will be a beautiful day..
Bargain!I just got 100 Yorkshire Tea bags for $0.09!
I'd forgotten about the refund for that phone holster they didn't want back because it's way too big to hold the phone it was "designed for".

The pillow teabags are the same weight as the tagged teabags, by the way, just in case anybody else has been thinking there's more tea in the pillow style.
Thanks buddyA fine way to start the week !![]()
Sounds great Dave, have a good oneGood morning, Guardians! Purple Burl espresso this morning and a lot of lollygagging on deck for the US Federal holiday. Maybe some creek fishing later if they’re not too blown out from the weekend rainstorms.View attachment 3107752View attachment 3107755
Very stylishGood morning, Guardians! I have this black micarta lamb today. It's always fun trying to avoid getting my goofy reflection caught in the bolsters.

Nice start to the week David
Yeah, I reckon so Duncan**, even before my time!![]()
This one has been in my mailbox for a couple days. Went to the pharmacy then went by my apartment and picked up the mail. Interesting covers on this Lamb

Good morning Guardians, I'm just about to leave to travel over to Bradford, but I should be back home by 4pm, and I have a birthday celebration to attend tonight - in the pub!I need to try to imbibe lightly
I hope everyone is well, and that you all have a good day
It's raining here again today, heavily
This winter has seen record-breaking rainfall for December, January, and February, and Britain hasn't had a dry day all year
I sure hope we get a good Spring in compensation, but it doesn't always work that way
Got my Hartshead Barlow set aside for when I get back home

For Friday the 13th..hope no one suffers from triskadekaphobia.View attachment 3104680
Good morning Guardians, wonderful news here in Yorkshire - it isn't raining!I hope this is not a one-off (we're still receiving Apocalyptic warnings of snow)!
I woke up with a stiff neck, but hopefully it'll loosen up. I have to go over to Keighley today, another small West Yorkshire town, it has an attractive old train station which frequently features in movies and TV dramas. Not much attractive beyond that

Good evening Guardians, I hope everyone is having a great day. I didn't have to be over in Keighley until late morning, so I was able to call in at Charlie's on the waySaw this poster on the way

Hisham recently had a business trip to Morrocco, and he brought me back some olive oil pressed from olives grown on the land he owns there. I thought it was a really special gift, and the oil smells fantasticI didn't want to cart it over to Keighley though, so I left it with him until tomorrow.
With the sun out, it was a pleasant train journey to Keighley

By this time though, I had realised that I had an interloper in my pocket, and was accidentally having a Double Lambsfoot Day!

As I was coming out of the station, I spotted a vintage bus, but as I prepared to take a pic, it turned left instead of going straight on!

I spotted some bizarre buskers, who seemed to be having a lot of fun!

My work went OK, and my train back was on time. I decided to get something to eat in town, but as it is Valentine's Day, there wasn't a chance!I ended up walking a mile, without finding an empty table, so I had to speedily rustle something up at home, with some chicken I had in the fridge. Hot paprika, and some considerably hotter fresh Scotch Bonnet sauce made it insanely hot!

Yeah, here's Unity going down the line a few years ago. At the weekend, you can even get a good pint on the train![]()

Oops! Sorry mate!**Barrett.
Maybe you have been working yourself too hard lately, Jack.![]()
Thanks palLove the good honest wear shown on the blade and bolsters of your HHB, Jack.![]()
Yeah, same here!I hadn't even realized it was Friday the 13th. Maybe being oblivious is the key to avoiding disaster?Cool knife, Bob.

Thank you BarrettThat does look like a lovely old train station, Jack. Nice Lamb, too!
Thanks again buddy, I wish I'd got a better pic of the busNice pics, Jack! I particularly like the old bus, very cool! We'll usually go out on a Saturday night, either with the girls or just Julie & I when her work has a "parent's night out" event, but we planned dinner at home this week. No reason to go out on Valentine's Day.![]()
I remember hearing about it mate, pretty coolVery nice. I remember on our first trip to England, after spending a couple days in London we took the train down to Bath. At my brother's suggestion, we stopped in a shop before our train departed and bought several cold beers, which we enjoyed along the way.![]()
Looks tasty, Jack!
LOL!Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start. The kids are on day three of a four day weekend (President’s Day today, parent-teacher conferences tomorrow). I think after I drop them off at school Wednesday morning, I may just sit in my truck in silence for a while.
I’ve been carrying my stag HHB the last few days.
