I thought I was going to address these posts on Sunday, but something came up. Then apparently an upgrade and restart was pushed to my computer while I slept Sunday night, and my quotes were all gone in the morning. So I quoted most of them again on Monday, but then didn't have time to respond to them. So here on Tuesday night, I'll be dealing with posts from the weekend - I'm the King of staying current!

Have a pot of chili simmering on the stove - should be ready in another hour or so, and man, does my house smell amazing right now
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and that my fellow Canucks have a great Thanksgiving!
The chili and knife look good, Mike! Best wishes for the yoga marathon.
Belated Happy Thanksgiving to all of the Guardians in northern North America!

Speaking of tools, this pic is one I had left over from the series John

inspired of ‘Show Your Lambsfoot with Some Old Tools’.

Tremendous tool pic, Chin!

I always enjoy the knife pics with watery backgrounds!
Summer already seems so far away.
34˚F when I got up this morning, and we turned on the furnace over the weekend when the inside temp hit 61 (and falling).
Good Old Jake
Can shake and bake!
Hope everyone’s Weekend is a good one.

Harvey, your knives have plenty of charisma, and this one is no exception!
But I also enjoy speculating to myself what the background is in each shot. Usually I convince myself that I know what your knives rest on, but I'm pretty clueless on this one, unless it's tree bark!??!
Oops... I forgot to post my apple picture from today's trip. I was thinking about you all.
That's not forbidden fruit, is it, John?
Stag comparison

Hartshead Barlow is on the left, next is the DamLamb, the next two are from short Sambar runs I commissioned before the Guardians knives, next is the 'Senator', then a one-off I got at the factory, then finally, my AC
Excellent stag comparison shots, ED & Jack!
Hello Guardians! I hope everyone has had a good day! Totin my Waynorth Jigged Bone
Exquisite lambsfoot, Ron!
I sure enjoy that those who have them share some photos here!
Blimey, it's already a few hours past breakfast, and I'll I've done is catch up with this thread
Some toasted
Leeds Bread Co-op Malted Sourdough has kept me going
Off to do some chores now
Both bread and SFO lambsfoot Barlow look delectable, Jack!

Thanks, GT.
At our alternative setting, the students go to school once a week (twice for math) for direct instruction and are on independent studies the rest of the week. I have meetings on Mondays and teach the other four days.

Last year a downed power line caused a big fire that cost many lives and homes. The company got sued for a ton of money and almost went bankrupt. So now when it's dry and windy, they shut down the power to save lives and prevent being sued for a ton more. It's pretty inconvenient but I can see their side of things.
Thanks for the explanations about your students, John.
I often forget all the different approaches being used for alternative education.
I can see why the power company wants to do it, but do they get to decide when to turn it on and off? Do they lower rates of give rebates or something when they disrupt everyone's lifestyles?
Thanks, guys. It's my favorite lambsfoot in the flock. Not only for looks, but the size fits my hand perfectly, the swell end sits right in the center of my palm.
Shapely stag lambsfoot, Rachel!
Tanaka was just great last night, but Verlander is on the mound tonight, so maybe we can even the series.
Mission accomplished!

UJ looks great lounging in the sun with the watery background!
Thanks, Mark; that's Union Jack on vacation in August.

- Thank you GT. Union Jack looks great.

Good PM Guardians.
I really like fake stag like your Bexoid, Harvey, or Uncle Henry's staglon, maybe because my first knife was a Colonial scout with plastic fake stag.

Yes, we've both seen many people come and go on The Porch. It always makes me sad, as they've often become good friends, and I worry about them
Not officially christened, I'd probably have to ask Charlie
@waynorth for his permission first, but that's always how I affectionately think of that knife
That's a great pic of your Union Jack, really shows it off well
Yes, it is sad when folks who have been quite involved here disappear.
I like your unofficial name for the knife.
Thanks for complimenting Union Jack.
Nice picture of a special knife.
Thanks for your encouragement, José.

- Thank you GT. Your Union Jack never looked better.
Always appreciate your support, Harvey.
This week, my lambsfoot is the 2019 Guardians SFO lambsfoot with desert ironwood covers. I call mine Valley Jack:
