Thank you, my friends,Cool pic Dave, there sure is a lot going on in that Ironwood
I don't know what's happening I'm not getting notices of a new post here or what are you toting today. 
About time, Lazy Bones.
Beautiful picture and art, as always.
Thank you, my friends,
We've probably broken the system Dave
Nice one Jack! looks like a Chinook Wind.
The background is Malham Cove in Yorkshire, I've climbed on that face a few times 
Cool, I guess I should have stated that the white in the handle of the lambsfoot reminds me of the clouds we get when a Chinook ie. warm winds are coming in from the Pacific.Thanks Dave, I had to look that up

Morning folks, Friday is here!
Happy Friday to all The Guardians.

Is there no end to the beauty you get to see Dave?! You three gents are sporting some beauties today!
Thank you, my friend,Thank you
Thanks, Ron!You three gents are sporting some beauties today!
Good to see you here Preston, I hope you're keeping OK. Hopefully not too much caffeine!
Sadly we didn't stop in any pubs that day, but we did head back to my brother's with a couple dozen Welch cakes, which were quite tasty! Banana nachos??? I don't know about that....
My horror is caused by the thought of the coarseness of the stones GT. My grandfather still kept his main stone in the cardboard box it came in, it had two sides, one 'fine', one 'coarse', but in reality they were 'coarse' and 'very coarse'
Happy memories Dave
A very successful Pi Day, if I do say so myself.
I am ready to lay down and enter my food coma now.
I had apple/pear pie, apple pie, Oreo cream pie, and best of all... chicken pot pie.
And there is my Lambsfoot peaking out of its slip to be part of the festivities...
You might also notice that one of my students knitted me a coffee cup coaster so I wouldn't leave rings on the counter.
Pi Day is our wedding anniversary, but my wife's favorite desert is tiramisu, so we had that instead. Of course, I couldn't leave the Italian bakery without a few cannoli (one of my favorites).
Really

Thanks, BarrettI remember seeing Brains signs outside a lot of pubs in Cardiff. I don't think I would've taken much notice of them, except that I thought Brains was a rather odd name for a brewery.
That sounds about as good as the Swedish pizza I was reading about a while back, topped with banana and peanuts.
I've been using DMT's Dia-Sharp continuous surface diamond plates for a couple years now. I like them, but their coarseness/grit ratings seem similar to what you're describing there. The two I have are Fine and Extra Fine, but the Fine is fairly coarse, and I only use it sparingly (usually to set a new bevel). They have three grits below that: Coarse, Extra Coarse and Extra-Extra Coarse. I can't imagine what you'd need that last one for! A couple passes and your knife would resemble one of those toothpick-shaped blades found on used up flea market finds!
Just watch out for those corners!
I'm looking forward to cigar weather here in MN. It got up above 40°F the last couple days, which felt quite warm, but it also rained the whole time, and now the temps have dropped again.
That's a beautiful camera, Jack, but I can't imagine it takes very good pictures!
Looks like you did it right, John!
"Leave the knife, take the cannoli."
Beautiful photos, Dave!
I took this photo a while back for my Imitation giveaway, and realized it's the only group photo I have of all my Lambsfoot knives. Just ignore that one in the middle.
Here, maybe this is better...
Love the censored photo
I could live there.
Thanks, Ron.You three gents are sporting some beauties today!
Lovely picture, Vince. Wood on wood.
I can't even look at desserts today."Leave the knife, take the cannoli."
