Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[black mamba]

Jack, sorry to hear about the state of things in Leeds, but it's getting worse everywhere, it seems. Here in our sleepy community of SW Florida we've had 7 teachers arrested just this year for either child pornography or sex with students. If I was young and married with kids I'd be mighty depressed at the future. Retired and living in a gated community we're insulated from most of it, but it still stinks.

Wow! Can you do the Tequila dance Kurt?!

Yes. I remember riding that bike on the way home from the bar late in the afternoon. A bunch of weekend warriors were riding by on their Harleys after leaving the bar. They were laughing like hell and pointing at me. I was ringing my bell and honking my horn right back. Good times. Surprisingly a big biker never hit me. But drunk women causing a problem in the bar thought they could get away with that stuff. My favorite maneuver was asking for a word outside and as they stepped out first( gentleman) I’d close the door. Always got a laugh and usually the drunk had a laugh too.

Still enjoying carrying this new Ram lamb!View attachment 3182857

It's a looker

I didn't know there was such a thing as a BT puller. Mine isn't that bad yet.
It occurred to me only recently that my honeysuckle and wild grapes and pokeweed have been so slow to die because I've been using the weed and grass killer.

Thanks, and you bet. And maybe I'll try to impress the coyotes by throwing in the occasional Hung Gar plum blossom fist butterfly kick.

I've been remiss about GeoW. This, and another big knife that will not be named here, were gifts from @SteveC, who won them in @Jakeywax31's GAW.
I want to be clear about that.

That's terrible Jeff! Sorry to hear that buddy

We've got sneaky rain here, the sort of rain that appears suddenly out of a blue sky Before the first downpour came, I had a coffee at Charlie's, and then went into town. I picked up some bread, and then went for a haircut. I need to find a new barbers, the Iranians have doubled their prices, and I'm only in the chair 5 minutes. There are junkies coming in trying to sell stolen goods, and instead of chasing them out of the shop, they're placing orders! I had one eye on the barber, and one eye on my jacket!

The sun came out while I was in the shop, and it looked like the makings of a nice day. I decided to get a coffee and a sausage sandwich at a cafe I used to frequent a decade back. Their prices have gone up too, and the sandwich didn't taste great, neither did the coffee. The waitress was an.absolute misery

I came out into a downpour. There were more junkies huddled in doorways, openly inspecting their recent purchases, and begging aggressively from passers-by. It's got rough down near the markets these past couple of years. The cops seem to leave the ne'er-do-wells alone, maybe preferring they stay in the same place, and away from Leeds' swankier streets

I ducked into a small supermarket to escape the rain, stepping over the street-drinker slumped in the doorway. I couldn't find much I wanted to buy. Outside, it was raining even heavier. The drunk outside had roused himself, bidding me a slurred Good Morning, and waving a paper cup.

I walked through the rain, and boarded a bus back home. The sun came out, and I was soon back on my street, in what's considered a tough neighbourhood, but which is actually friendly, and pleasant, and a long way from some of the streets of central Leeds

Great bone Jack.
Your street description sounds like the Bowery in New York City before gentrification.

Here’s a two bladed lambsfoot from Willem. It’s 4 inches with excellent bolsters and scales. I like the brut de forge hollow ground blades. Good Tuesday to you.

Thanks Bob, a rough place for a long time.



Here, I had never seen a beggar until the 1980's. Now every shop doorway has one

Isn't that the way?! I suspect I caught mine from Wolfie, courtesy of his kids It has been mild, but sure has dragged on Nice to see that one buddy

Good morning, I hope everyone is doing well, and having a good week. I'm really struggling with the VPN this morning. Fortunately, no imgur pics here, so I can turn it off, but it's only going to be a matter of time before I can it altogether The asbestos guy was in and out in 15 minutes yesterday, but it wasn't really worth going out again afterwards, and today is dull and overcast so far. I do need to go out, and do a bit of grocery shopping though, and I'll be calling in at Charlie's for a coffee, of course I'm lucky that my local cafe makes the best coffee in the city, but it's spoiled me from going anywhere else! Carrying one of my 3 @jsdistin re-covers today. This one in giraffe bone. Have a great day Guardians
