I had to go into town for an emergency dentist appointment.


Some sights here and there.

You can watch the lady's making cakes through the window,they are highly skilled.

Browns Café was featured in the TV series Endeavour.

In the outdoor market I bought 2 Allman brothers vintage LPs,a knife not sure if butter or Paper and a old copy of the seven pillars of wisdom (tried to read it once and gave up will try again).

On the way home I met some European and one Aussie Scooter Tramps on the way to Wales,note the flip flops bungeed to the forks. 😁

Oh and the oil all over our newly laid paving slabs.

Emergency and dentist should not be in the same sentence. Hope they fixed it.
The art work in the first photo is awesome.
Some nice bikes
 
The Bladeforums Barlow is the knife that made me love Barlow’s and the #86 pattern. I have enjoyed this knife very much, and to me, it’s a knife that represents the very best of the knife community. What makes this hobby so enjoyable for me is the community so for me to own a knife that I find aesthetically phenomenal and the fact that it was a collective effort by Bladeforums members to choose these materials and then to have this “S” version made available and shipped to me by the legendary Charlie Campagna makes it one special knife.

It’s a beautiful sunny summer day here in Los Angeles. I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys summertime. My favorite season of the year!

I think our Fall weather is like your Summer weather! I did go once to California around Independence Day. Stayed in Oceanside near San Diego, and took a day trip to LA (drove around Beverly Hills and saw the La Brea tar pits). Really gorgeous weather for Summer.
Awesome Barlow, by the way.

Yes. I concur on that knife and what it represents.
And you’ll not be hearing me complaining about the weather no matter what season it is. It’s all nature’s glory.

Speaking of decent Blade Forums knives, I’m giving this one a fair workout. Strange that I first was disappointed it was not 86 size. Then I compared it to some of my all time favorites, my Voos Jacks, Grandpa’s old Camillus EO Jack, and the WWII Navy Utility Jacks, and whaddaya know? Same size.
Let’s see if wax beans will produce any kind of patina. The pressure canner is hot and waiting.A389769B-D026-4162-9E3B-98DA53EE22F5.jpeg
And, the result. Six quarts for the pantry. The pressure canner holds seven quarts, but the bottom broke out of one🫠44A5C082-EED3-4E36-AD7C-22A09D010F07.jpeg

Just one cycle, as opposed to spending the whole day in the kitchen doing batch after batch. Got those beans trimmed up, into the jars, and in the canner while keeping an eye on the grill, then 25 minutes processing time starting when the jiggler started jiggling. Lots more beans out there for another day.

There will be some all day canning sessions soon, when I make salsa and homemade V8 juice. But the tomatoes are still green, and the peppers are still small.

Thanks, I was tempted but the stall owner was unfriendly and aggressive.

I don't blame you for walking away 👍 I see those albums very regularly, and usually priced at one or two quid. I guess thousands of them must have been produced 👍

I'm not a big fan of the knife (maybe because I didn't have one...) but I'll take the beans... ;)
Have a nice day and weekend :)

What was the second? I about wore that one out. As well as Eat A Peach, and the Brothers And Sisters albums, picking up the needle and replaying the guitar licks, guitar in hand, driving my roommates crazy.

It was eat peach I havent listened to it before so I hope its good.

Its a great little record stall run by an older geezer in a outside market.
He charges a lot less than some places,I much prefer having the old releases.
As I walked up he was playing Howling Wolf on his old style lift top record player I asked him to play Killing Floor and we chatted.
He sells some cool Tee shirts as well.
