I need to start making bread. You think you're buying something wholesome and whole grain, then you look at the sugar and/or salt and/or fat.
And it's cheaper home-made, and it isn't that blinkin' difficult.

Nice looking horn on that one, Jer.
I think I might give bread making a try, I have been meaning to for years.

The workers had to unhook my internet. So I'll be using my phone for a while. That means posting pictures will be more difficult. But I'll still be checking in.

Man, it's like you are back in the stone ages! ;)
I hope they finish up and you are back to all the comforts you deserve soon, John.

The "Blip" is back! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
(Reminds me of a heart monitor display - hasn't gone "flatline" yet. :rolleyes:)

Haha, Jake has kind of taken over. I had to force myself to mix it up a little.

Great photo of your two-tone horn, FBC! :thumbsup::cool::cool: I thought yesterday I had quoted a post of yours showing that knife with some hand-rolled cigarettes, but I somehow "dropped" that quote. It took me back about 45 years when I used to "roll my own" (or at least tried) using Flying Dutchman pipe tobacco.

Your eyes did not deceive you. I figured I would give "rollies" a try again. It has been a lot of years since I have rolled, as you can tell by the looks of the cig's in that picture. I won't even get started on a rant about the price of tobacco, which is mostly bs taxes, but it is craaaazy!

That sounds like a good joke Rachel :) I have a friend who tells me Yiddish jokes, and they are often very old, but always funny

As long as your friend doesn't tell them like my grandmother did. She'd tell the whole joke in English, and then the punchline in Yiddish. I'd ask what it meant, and she'd say, "It doesn't translate." It was years later before it occurred to me they may have been "adult" jokes, and she was sparing our tender ears. :eek::D

Harvey. There is a streak/stripe/possibly a crack in the cover of the knife shown. Do you think that over time the cover could split/crack. The reason I ask is that I have a "Big-un" with rosewood covers that has the same type of split/crack in it.

Beautiful knife Harvey.

I started smoking as a 7-year old, and took to it with a passion (I quit 40 years ago). I went through a period of smoking roll-ups when I was 13 or 14. They've been common here for years, but back then only ex-cons and hobos smoked rollies (I liked the quality of the tobacco). Folks would move away from me on the bus, not because I was a child smoking, that was fine, but because I was smoking rollies! :D Nice pic Kevin :) :thumbsup:

I hope that is just colour! :eek: Please let us know Harvey :thumbsup: That's interesting Ed, pretty poor though, bad news though, can we see some pics? I've had a couple of knives with pin cracks, but they were seconds and like that when I bought them.

With the knife above, they were pretty bespoke, and expensive, so they noticed, but I wouldn't ordinarily expect the manufacturer to notice. I have cracks in the wood on knives I've received, but not on any of my Lambsfoot knives, and none have developed subsequently. I've been pretty hard on my Rosewood Big Un, and I think I'll only oiled the wood once, in several years, but it seems OK :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians :)
Taking the day off today to wind down and catch up with things after a busy evening yesterday.
Our 13 y/o daughter was one of the junior string players invited to play with a professional chamber orchestra in Ottawa. They played the Holberg Suite by Grieg.
Here is my ebony lambsfoot posing besides the ebony fingerboard in my daughter's violin.

I think it's just colour/grain in the wood Modoc ED Modoc ED :thumbsup: I told myself I wanted to try enlarging the pic to have a look at the wood, rather than to admire Harvey's fine doughnut! :D :thumbsup:

Modoc ED Modoc ED - Thank you Ed. As Jack stated, it’s the “color/grain of the wood. No cracks, just nice character.

Jack Black Jack Black - Right on the Money, Jack.:) Very nice steaming mug shots.

JohnDF JohnDF - Thank you John.

Congratulations to your daughter, Dan! The violin and piano (which my son plays) are my favourite instruments.

Gracias Vince ! My oldest daughter play piano. She is 16 and preparing her piano exam to complete the last level of the Royal Conservatory. A couple of years ago she won 3rd place in the Ontario Provincial piano competitions.
Music is constantly going on in our household.

Thank you Harvey :thumbsup:, special moment indeed to treasure :thumbsup:. It seems like yesterday we bought her a very tiny 1/16 violin to start her lessons. She has no recollection of when she started violin, tells me it feels like she always did it :)

Yes. Not only does it give them an activity with positive influences, it has been shown to improve grades in school. The average GPA of the kids in our local marching band is 3.8. As you know, that's a win all the way around. :cool::thumbsup:
