Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[flatblackcapo]

Hope you two recover quickly as well!

Thanks for the well wishes. My back is fine now, I got lucky and it worked it's way out by the next day. Now I'm nursing a bruised hip and sore elbow and shoulder from a bicycle crash a few days ago.

This thread moves so fast...

True, I missed the train at the station yesterday and feel I won't ever see it again!

Still got some catching up to do,

A book of short stories by a local (and some Lambsfoot content).

As usual Chin, great photos, I know so little about European history. Those photos move me to find out more about it.

@Cambertree Chin the pics of your visit to Ireland are wonderful. I love the Crossmaglen statue. What a complex history.

Good morning to you all.View attachment 1094880

Yep, another terrific photo, Dwight!


Here’s one with a few interesting pods from the chilli pepper festival and my garden:

(Carolina Reapers, Trinidad 7-Pot, Jamaican Mushroom Cap, a white Ghost variant, Santa Fe Grande, Cayennes and some Thais.)

Chin, that right there is one of your best photos, wow!

Good Morning Guardians.
Making my wife's picks for her this morning...

I like your photo, John, I don't follow college basketball, but know some of those teams that I can see are usually there at the end.

I battle old age with immaturity.

Thanks for all the complements y'all. Have a great day!

Kevin, a favorite saying of mine is..."I have to get old, but I don't have to grow up". Sorry about your crash, heal up soon.

Hope 'hump' day is good to you all. So many great photos and the same goes for the people.
I'll carry Iron Mike today...

Great jigging on that Lamb, Jack.

Thanks John

Good Morning Guardians.

Cool pic Good luck!

Superb photo Dwight

Thank you Jack! It is not the most even of patinas but it is mostly from fruit (and a few sausages).



That would totally bum me out too! Do you plan to have it fixed?

I have a bad habit of streaking my patinas by wiping the blade with a bandana after cutting fruit

Yeah, it has I hope so, I have another appointment soon, but it is actually with the chest clinic (because I was originally referred there with a 2-year old cough), rather than the stomach one

The bad part is someone gave me that button more than 10 years ago.
I need many cuppas this morning!
I love it when you post that Unity!


Thanks, man.
I battle old age with immaturity.

Thanks for all the complements y'all. Have a great day!

LOL! Thanks mate Another cool pic there

Thanks for the well wishes. My back is fine now, I got lucky and it worked it's way out by the next day. Now I'm nursing a bruised hip and sore elbow and shoulder from a bicycle crash a few days ago.

That's good, always a relief when that happens Yikes! Hope you're OK That's one of the reasons I'm reluctant to take up urban cycling at my age, with my luck, I'm not sure I'd last long

I'll carry Iron Mike today...

Nice Shady Grove pic Preston

Taylor you certainly know how to put a patina on a knife. Sweet sweet sweet.

flatblackcapo Kevin I just now read you crashed and hurt yourself. Hope you heal up quick.

I agree with Dwight Taylor, your ebony '18 is looking swell

Too much to quote. flatblackcapo That pin says it all.
@Cambertree Chin, some great photos, but the oak tree reigns supreme.

 

[Fodderwing]

joeradza I love the way the stone pulls the blue out of the ironwood. Beautiful.

 

[joeradza]

Dwight, so much so that I had to trash some photos the other day.

 

[Prester John]

Still got some catching up to do, but thought I’d better jump ahead to check in.

Fine posts and pics, everyone.

Thanks for the chat Dave and Donn.

Great track on the St Patrick’s Battalion, Jack - thanks for that.

I was out at a local chilli festival on Sunday so I missed posting then, but I thought I might continue the Irish theme.

Glens of Antrim.

Dark hedges, County Antrim.

Mural of Nuadh of The Silver Arm at ‘The Top of the Rock’, Ballymurphy.

Another mural from the Falls Rd, Belfast.

An Oak overlooking the ring fort of the Giants Ring.

Crossmaglen, County Armagh.

The misted slopes of Slieve Gullion.

The Bogside, Derry.

Irish breakfast with potato bread, soda bread, and black and white pudding.

A book of short stories by a local (and some Lambsfoot content).

Great pics, Chin.

WONDERFUL pictures, Chin! I enjoyed them immensely. Ireland is yet another place I hope to visit in the not so distant future.

This last weekend was spent with my biological father, making about 30 pounds of Cumberland sausage (I guess I technically can't call it that but it resembles such). Being adopted, I haven't known too much about my bloodlines other than that I am rather Irish and my family is prone to drink. Spending time with my father over the weekend proved to be somewhat educational as he was able to inform me that my great grandmother, Lizzie Owens, came from Corlaghdergan, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. My father and his siblings (my aunts) also hold dual Irish/US citizenship which I guess is something that is extended up to the 3rd generation(?). My great grandfather, Francis Ryan, is from Prince Edward Island (his parents moved there from Ireland at some point from what I understand).

My father gave me a book, something that was compiled by an aunt from a number of years ago that is a genealogical study of our roots. It has been rather fascinating, discovering where I come from.

Thank you Dennis.

Another exceptional pic, Chin! I admire the edges you put on your knives. I'm afraid that I have not attempted to tune things up too much on my modest assortment and I have found that I enjoy carrying my AC Lambsfoot the most simply due to its better edge geometry. It came the keenest out of all my Lambsfoot knives from the factory.

One of these days soon, I will need to actually put some time in on the stones.

Gorgeous Dylan

Thank you, Jack! Excellent to see that Unity again today.

You are able to capture that wood grain so magically, Alan. I find it an immense struggle most days.


Today, I have the crimson-clad Lamb with me.

 

[Prester John]

Thanks Chin, I don't particularly like Dave Rovics slightly whiny nasal vocal style, but it's a good song What a fantastic selection of photos my friend, each one a gem I particularly like the Oak Tree Thanks for posting them, you really did get around (it was a struggle to get my Irish ex-girlfriend away from the Botanic coffee-shops ) Great Lambsfoot content too



Another beautiful composition One of the least appealing aspects of finding out I have a hiertus hernia is the idea that I will have to shun spicy food I had a 'mild' chilli the other night, and it was no fun at all

Morning folks, Spring Equinox today in the northern hemisphere, so I hope that those of you who've been suffering heavy snowfalls will soon be seeing some milder weather. Not a bad day here from the look of it, I'm going to carry my Unity Lambsfoot

Lovely lamb, Jack. And I'm a member of the South Texas Chapter of the Grumpy Old Mens Club. I think I'm late with my dues....

[Prester John]

Have to make them all feel wanted! Fine stag for Mittwoch!

Ahoy there Vince

Very clever picture, Vince.

Gracias, muchachos.

Today, I have the crimson-clad Lamb with me.

I always have to stare at that one for awhile, Dylan. What a looker!

I have had a number of friends from Tyrone over the years Dylan, wonderful people, with a particularly attractive accent, and a great sense of humour (though that is not unique to Tyrone). Some years ago, I was staying in Dublin with friends, one of whom is from Tyrone, and a load of her family were down for the All-Ireland Hurling Championships, which Tyrone won. They were all on their way back north, when we heard reports of a coach of Tyrone supporters coming under a hail of bricks while passing through the main town of the rival county. This was considered to be a terrible incident, and possibly of a sectarian nature. Then the phone went, and it was the Tyrone mob, who had been on the affected coach, but who said the incident had been greatly exaggerated in the news reports. They also admitted to some somewhat provocative behaviour, as they hadn't just passed through the town once, but three times, "And with all our a**es pressed to the windows!"

Thank you my friend, lovely to see that beauty again

Lovely lamb, Jack. And I'm a member of the South Texas Chapter of the Grumpy Old Mens Club. I think I'm late with my dues....

Thank you Vince, I don't blame you for being late with your dues, it is an absolute disgrace what they are charging these days! We used to have a wee :grumpy: icon here, which I miss greatly

 

[dc50]

Just checking in guys, things are a Wee bit hectic these days hopefully I can return to some normalcy in a few days.
Thank you for all the fine wishes you fellas posted, I sorry just don't have time to reply at the moment.
Speaking of old buggers, by the way, that's not me.

I was also adopted, so I don't know too much about my heritage. All I do know is that my (unmarried) parents were both Irish, but I was raised in an Italian and Basque family. I was known as the Albino Basque by my cousins because of my fair skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair.

That's interesting John, I have some Basque neighbours, and lots of Basque friends, beautiful part of the world - totally impenetrable language though!
