Wow! We're expecting a high of 96 today.Morning Guardians from the wacky weather state of Colorado! Last night and through this morning the snow gods descended on my area and dropped 8-10 inches of the heavy white stuff.
The first photo is basically the same as the one posted in 21625 taken about a half hour ago. The second shows the droop on my maple tree, it's not broken yet, hope it survives this storm.
It's 30 here right now and still have light snow falling. This is the latest snow fall and the heaviest I can remember and I've lived in Colorado all my life save for four years in the US Army.
Did the maple tree make it? We have been dealing with rainy and cold weather weird for middle/end of May.Morning Guardians from the wacky weather state of Colorado! Last night and through this morning the snow gods descended on my area and dropped 8-10 inches of the heavy white stuff.

I know how you feel Preston, living in the Rockies we can have snow every month of the year.
(The high temperature on Monday was only 50˚, though .)When I ran into Dave, he kept pleading with me to "open the pod bay doors." I told him "I can't do that, Dave."
Good one, HAL, er, Vince!I currently just have the Angry Ram pin/badge in it, but I've enjoyed reading about the uses other Guardians have for their tins.Hey folks, do you remember the hinged metal tins I sent out with the 2019 Guardians knives, (and with some of the DamLambs)? Has anyone done anything with theirs, using it in any way? I'm going to use mine for a wee fire kit for when I go out hiking, but would love to know what everyone else is doing with theirs (if anything)
I'll probably soon move other knife-related keepsakes (coins, button spanners, etc.) into it to create a treasure chest. Check out the blues that popped out within the patina after cutting some warm steak.
Grand canyon and psychedelic patina on the mark side of your AC, @Travman, and the pile side stag is a rough and ready contrast!
Very cool, David!... The carvings are an art work installation on the site of an iron age burial mound on the 'Wolds Way', a 79 mile walking path in East Yorkshire....
...
These carvings (on a much smaller scale) look like they'd be a whittling project that would fit my primitive skills. ...
Edit : knife content and my little Jack Russell "Daisy"
I'm a sucker for dog/knife pics, and your photos of Lazy Daisy are superb, Mark!...
My Daisy is way more laid back than a normal Jack Russell. Sleeping is her favorite.
...
I'm amazed at how much our dogs sleep! Best Break-up Song Ever, OG!!
But how is the video related to the lyrics?? I'm not always good at making connections! Amazingly Compelling AC, Dwight!!
Great shot of your AC, Ron!...
Do you have a pile side photo handy?Thanks for the video, and congrats again on your K'roo, Joshua!
Unforgettable flame-like colors on your AC, Dylan!!...
Hope your wilderness outing is wondrously wild and wholesomely wise! Congrats, Taylor, on making the adjustments and successfully wrapping up your first semester back!
Do you have a lot of school to complete, or are you close to your goal?Didn't know dire wolves enjoyed sea food!Good Morning Guardians.
Fantastic shot of your ironwood, John! One of my favorite pics of your AC, Vince!Good morning, Guardians!
...
(You have many I really like. )Glad you all enjoyed the trip, and thanks for the memorable pics, OG!!
Risque picture, GT.
Don't worry about keeping up, just keep coming back and posting your pictures and happenings.
...
5K Qs Thank you GT for all the kind words. Please don’t fret over when you post. No one is counting, just enjoying when you’re here.

Beautiful shot, Gary,....AS USUAL! I can't keep caught up, and I know I miss so many great posts, but I always thought of you as a great example of someone who puts great effort and thought into each of your responses! Please keep them coming!

Thanks for the encouragement, folks.
I just have to learn to manage my expectations regarding The Porch as it evolves! Tremendous trio!!
Thanks for the kind replies, Jack.It's a struggle GT!
...
Ouch!
Thanks GT, the pull on the pen is reasonable, about the same as on the main blade, though obviously, because of its greater length, the main blade is easier to open. It's only the pen on my Wright's two-blade that is a complete beast. I hope one day they'll wake up to the fact
...
Thanks pal
Lovely pic of that beauty, nice to see one of the '17s
...
Thanks, Chin.
Actually, I have the DMT Magna-glide system with some diafold diamond paddles. Most of my day-to-day honing is on unglazed pottery, though - kind of a poor substitute for a SharpMaker. Majestic bolster stamp, Jack!This is just a quick mock-up Wright's did to make sure the stamp looked OK on the steel Barlow bolster
(Perhaps too majestic for a former working stiff like me! )Good to see you here again, Dave!Thank you to all my friends!
It warms my heart to have all the Guardians as friends, peace to you all.
I am so far behind and will be for a couple of weeks yet, so if I miss your post please understand.
Best wishes for the ongoing moving-in process! ... Anyway tomorrows weather looks pants so at least it's indoors.
Is this a UK usage of "pants"? I don't think I've heard the word used negatively like this before; what's the history of this usage??...
No more knives this year....no more knives this year....no more knives...oh pants...
...
Thanks, Gary, now comes the waiting for the electrician and others to call back, this could take awhile.Good to see you here again, Dave!
Thanks, Gary. I love both sides, which are very different from one another. But the batch of 28 all look good to me. Love that Cracker Jack of yours.One of my favorite pics of your AC, Vince!
Yes, Taylor, thanks...I went out about 30 minutes ago and shook of what I could reach with the rake, I didn't see any broken branches, sun is trying to come out but the wind is picking up. I think it will be OK.
Good news, I lost an old cherry tree to spring snow it sucked.
Thank you Taylor.
Thanks Jack!
I took a six week camping trip a few years ago and made a loop down through Big Bend clockwise up and around through Crested Butte. The temperature span ranged from 96°F to -27°F. What a fine country we live in.
Thank you GT. Man Jack is killer!
+1 Yes they have been in the "stuff" and are still in it. Hope all is well Dennis
Great image, Dwight. The only thing missing is you laying in the hammock.
