Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[mitch4ging]

Thank you Dennis.

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.)

Wonderful! You're either a gluten for punishment, or you have no tongue left!
These are Hatch chilies, grown down by where I was raised eating 'em, they range from mild to hot, but not like you have there!

Thanks Dennis, she's blushing!

Thanks my friend, it's OK, just had to carry some heavy boxes. That sounds like hard work Dennis, hope you're feeling fine today

Thank you, Jack! More heat pad and TENS unit, but good!

Not a bad day here from the look of it, I'm going to carry my Unity Lambsfoot

PERFECT pairing, Jack! Handsome Lamb.

Lovely picture, Dennis.

Thank you very much, John!

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

Lovely knife section....Have fun with the NCAA!

@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

...Dwight...WOW! Do you use some kind of ludicrous filter on your camera? Such rich coloring in those covers!

Hope you two recover quickly as well!

Thank you very much, Michael!

Why does it feel more like uphill?!

Cause downhill is without brakes...no stopping it.

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

Very nice photo! Who needs a SAK when you have a Lamb!

I'll carry Iron Mike today...

Iron Mike is looking good!

Great leather, steel and wood! Is the leather leggings of some sort?

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

Crimson Clad on Coffee Cup by Creek! Nice, Dylan!!

Miss you Dave!

Olive Drab under Lamb Black! Cool photo, Jack!

Understated beauty.

Very cool shot, Dave! A bridge over a creek?

The original steam locomotive from the Rainhill Trials of 1830. This is 190 years old

Then...the rabbit hole...

Some really great photos, Dave, ESPECIALLY the finish!

My carry today

Dennis, I love the covers on your Lamb. Very nice image of both the Lamb and the chilies. Speaking of chillies, I crave them as much as the next person, but I would be sure to pack the Charmin. That’s loo rolls to you folks on the other side of the pond.

Prester John Your ever faithful and beautiful Ironwood.

 

[Prester John]

Yup! A real fondness!
Nice foto!

Prester John Your ever faithful and beautiful Ironwood.

Thanks, guys. I don't know if there's a better looking wood.

I don't think a day goes by without me eating some kind of chile: fresh, roasted, sautéed, dried, or in the form of sauce!

mitch4ging it's actually the center console in my truck. Ford F250 King Ranch

Me either. Lambsfoot in the pocket; chili in the belly. Repeat.

 

[mitch4ging]

Also, here is a picture of his father, my great, great grandfather. Bit of a jaunty fellow.

Great photo and history, Dylan! He does look cheerful!
My great grandfather was a constable in a mining town, Santa Rita NM. He was a bit stoic, but his father was as friendly as a rabid wolf! I don't have a good photo of him.

Thank you very much, Harvey! I do love the horn on it!

I love chile, but I now look for good flavors, but a lot less heat, makes them more enjoyable!

 

[mitch4ging]

I don't think a day goes by without me eating some kind of chile: fresh, roasted, sautéed, dried, or in the form of sauce!

We put it on hamburgers, in eggs, on a flour tortilla with cheese and heated up in the oven....mmmmm

 

[Pt-Luso]

Crikey PT! That's the finest looking stag I've seen on an A.Wrights. You must of bribed someone...

Many thanks David, unfortunately not, because it would not have come with this problem!!!
When closed the spring protrudes and a bit high...

 

[Cutfinger]

This will fix your proud spring

Good Morning Guardians

 

[Dschal]

Very cool shot, Dave! A bridge over a creek?

Thanks Dennis. Yes, I often walk up and down Brook Road, and the brook goes under the road in several places.

 

[Jack Black]

Understated beauty.

Spectacular pic my friend

Crikey Jack! Have they not got to the bottom of that cough yet? I remember you mentioning that ages ago....

...

As always great photos everyone
Before disappearing down the rabbit hole that is the pubs of Salford I swung by the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester to see the 'Rocket'. The original steam locomotive from the Rainhill Trials of 1830. This is 190 years old

Then...the rabbit hole...

Only just mate, took them long enough (the problem goes back several years) It was a symptom of my hiertal hernia, being caused by stomach acid After a course of antibiotics, and the addition of a nightly dose of 300mg of Ranitidine in addition to my twice daily Lanzaprazole, my cough has largely subsided. I regret having seen a Quack for several years, who just sat there and shrugged his shoulders

Thanks for showing those wonderful pics of The Rocket, and that pint looks like the start of a great afternoon

lol David, I'm only back when I'm able, So at the moment you could consider it part time. I'm loving all yours and Jack's photo history and dialogue. That's what keeps the LF Guardian the place to be.

Thanks Dave, look forward to seeing you when you can call in my friend

Cool pic with the black lamb and the jacks, Jack.

Thanks Harvey

Thanks for the kind words Dennis, beautiful colours to those chillis Thanks for the tunes, that's a great pic of your Oxhorn Lambsfoot

Thanks for the translation Harvey

That Ironwood is expensive, but they turned out nice didn't they Vince?

Cool pic Dennis, at least two of my great grandfathers were killed in WW1, and I had never seen photos of any of my great grandfathers (that I can remember) until recently, when I came across this photo of my dad's grandfather, who (unknown to me) was also wounded in WW1.

Many thanks David, unfortunately not, because it would not have come with this problem!!!

Morning John

Only mid afternoon here, and I'm exhausted! Still carrying my ebony '18

 

[Half/Stop]

Good morning Guardians! Totin this Ironwood this morning!

That is a very nice photo, love the simplicity and contrast.

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.



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.



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.

Great photo as usual Dylan, thanks for sharing your life experiences. It's fascinating looking into one's genealogy and learning about the people in it. Helps in us knowing more about ourselves and what we might have in common with others.

Miss you Dave!

Jack, are those olives and are you making a meal of them?

I'll be off down to the market early in the morning, and carrying my ebony '18 (rare pile side pic)

Going to see this film in the evening, hope I don't fall asleep in the cinema!

Interesting photo of the Jacks, I remember playing as a kid...because most of the girls played...I got teased and bruised a lot!

Dessert, really, Taylor we need to talk!

I was going to say we should of started a sweep stake as to how many pages this thread would reach before your return; but I see your back.



Everyone needs a lackey or two My brother lives in India, and I'm not kidding you, he and his wife have about three



Crikey PT! That's the finest looking stag I've seen on an A.Wrights. You must of bribed someone...




Thanks! It's Albert Dock in Liverpool looking over towards the Tate Modern art gallery. Once one of the busiest ports in the world. Now full of shops of restaurants....



Hope your feeling better. I hurt my back a few weeks ago doing nothing more than camping in the snow . With all the cold weather you folks have been having I hope you remembered to tuck ya shirt in



Thanks for posting those fascinating photos Chin. It's really interesting to see the 'other side'. I've worked with a lot of Irish nurses over the years and it's quite clear the British as a whole have a very poor comprehension of the Irish Troubles.



Crikey Jack! Have they not got to the bottom of that cough yet? I remember you mentioning that ages ago....



That's incredible linking up with your family, and gaining all that history Tracing your family can be a really time consuming (and expensive) process but it sounds like you've got a head start now.
My brother did one of DNA ancestry tests last year and it came back pretty much as we expected really, , but interesting all the same.

As always great photos everyone

Love your Horn Lamb Foot, Dennis. I wasn't expecting anyone to know Shady Grove, That CD cover is from Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. One of my favorites.

As is your photo!

Seeing that photo with all the pins, remembers me to thank you again for all that you do and did to bring us those Desert Ironwood beauties, thank you!

Oh, some of us got it right away! It’s an old favorite of mine too.

Mine is off to a good start already with a few of my favorite things.
