Very nice Mr.P. I would be heading for the couch after your excursions.Had my roof repaired, taxes filed, appointment made for new tires, and feeling like I got some things done. My totes for Friday are Peter Rabbit and an Old Sheffield Jack ( name rings a bell for some reason ).Have a nice weekend everyone.

Glad the prognosis is good Tyson.So Lacey is getting assessed, and some x-rays and lab work, but surgery is now delayed until Monday - they some staffing issues today and thought it would be better to delay. The talk with the vet was very reassuring, though. Feeling hopeful!
She's coming home - we'll bring her back Monday morning.Hope she'll be home for the weekend and not stuck in the kennel at the Vets.
Thanks - me too!Glad the prognosis is good Tyson.
Thank you!I am hopeful for Lacey’s recovery too and look forward to seeing more pics of her. Beautiful pupper there.
This one just arrived although the P.O. delivered it to a neighbor….I don’t have a tail lock and hadn’t tried one before. I like it. It’s stormy here with the power intermittent. I’ll be hanging with this Toole.

That coat looks fresh off a stag who was rubbing against a moss covered tree. Nice carries José.
That sounds positive Tyson, I hope that the three of you will be able to relax over the weekendSo Lacey is getting assessed, and some x-rays and lab work, but surgery is now delayed until Monday - they some staffing issues today and thought it would be better to delay.

Great news Tyson! Congrats on that HHB again. Tote the hell out of it.She's coming home - we'll bring her back Monday morning.
Thanks - me too!
Thank you!
Is that a tail-lock lambsfoot? Most interesting! Please tell us more.
A very cool Toole! I've got a couple of tail-locks. Ron Lake had the patent on the lock. Here's an old Blade Magazine article on it, https://blademag.com/knifemaking/ron-lakes-tab-lock-the-clever-lever/amp.I am hopeful for Lacey’s recovery too and look forward to seeing more pics of her.

Tyson I think it’s more of a sheepsfoot. But I am no expert for sure. I do like the mammoth a lot. I have a Toole lambsfoot and it has a blade like your new barlow. I wanted a tail-lock and I couldn’t pass this one up. No half stop of course. It has enough snap opening and closing that I don’t miss the usual walk and talk on a regular slipjoint.Is that a tail-lock lambsfoot? Most interesting! Please tell us more.
Jack I was worried after checking all day to see when the knife will arrive and then finally the tracking says it is in your mailbox and I open the box to find just a coupon to buy a taco and get one free. I love tacos though. My neighbors are all great and the third neighbor I asked had it. My P.O. is actually pretty good. We got 5.5 inches of rain yesterday so my mail person probably had a hard time reading the address.Glad you have good neighbours!That's a fancy one Kurt
