Got most of the yard debris cleaned up and piled on the curbside for pickup by our township. Whilst in the middle of it I was visited by a new resident :

Looks like there's one more homeless!

Interesting little feller Bill, and a great pic of your Hartshead Barlow





Thanks guys



Yes indeed Jeff, probably hard for you fellers to believe, but I do Americanize my posts a little



A great achievement by Charlie Where have you been anyway Duane, what have you been up to buddy? Be nice to see a pic of your flock

Good Morning Guardians, hope everyone has had a good week. Doesn't look anything special out of my window, but they're forecasting the hottest day of the year here today. I've got a few things to do in the house, but hoping to get out in the back garden, and pick some more blackberries later Have a great Friday Guardians

How hot mate? And how do you go in the heat, knocks me around as i have gotten older. You have a good and safe weekend my friend.

Thanks guys. In the high 90's with equal percent humidity. The aircon is running OT.

It's still cloudy here, but when they give the weather forecast it's very London-centric, and as I was saying to donn , I think they must take the temperature from the tarmac at Heathrow Airport I experienced a couple of Middle-Eastern summers when I was young, and I've always been OK with heat, but real hot weather is pretty rare here Thanks a lot pal, you too

Being a natural zero up top I'm glad I've not had that to bother with.



That's the one Jer. If your the one who posted that in the Blades on Books thread a year or two ago then that's where I found out about it. So cheers!




I don't think those pundits understand either the 'Blitz Spirit' or the nature of WWII. The two are incomparable. If our political elite had handled this 'crisis' with even a fraction of the honesty and intelligence our wartime leaders handled WWII with, then this 'crisis' would of been pretty much resolved by now.

Sat out in the garden last night.

Once less thing to worry about David! How are you finding that Smoked Chilli Porter mate? Looks like a nice way to spend an evening

It is a great book. I've got an e-version of Metallic Implements of the Iroquois thanks to it. I'm still trying to find the Bureau of Ethnology cite about the [lambsfoots] given or traded to the Cherokee(?) by the British.

Good morning Guardians! I hope y’all are doing well! We’re in for a mid to high 90’s type weekend here. The humidity is supposed to be a little lower so hopefully that will help! I’ve got a 1 of 27 GEC souvenir with me today. A very special Waynorth Smooth White Bone Lambsfoot from our fellow Guardian and Lambsfoot lover Charlie waynorth ! If not for this global devil Covid-19, we would have been in Titusville this morning. Enjoying some fine knives, but more importantly, some wonderful friends! I pray we will all survive this pandemic and the world will be back to some normalcy by this time next year. Y’all stay safe and well out there!

I think they got Manhatten Island for less than that didn't they?!

That's a special knife to be carrying, today in particular Ron Hope all you Rendezvous Regulars will have an extra special time next year

Good Morning Guardians

Few pics of my 2018 Guardian over the past couple of years

 

[AZCoyote]

Wow, never saw so many ramsfoot pins in one place!

Thank you, Jack.

That lovely knife has been the center of many great photos.

Well it is in a slip! Thank you for the well wishes my friend and I certainly hope we do too! Thanks for all the great photos of your ‘18 Ebony Jack! They are great knives. But there’s just one problem! Now I’m hungry and it’s not even lunch time!

It's still cloudy here, but when they give the weather forecast it's very London-centric, and as I was saying to donn , I think they must take the temperature from the tarmac at Heathrow Airport

They do in Rome. The weather station is at the end of the runway so the jets wash their exhaust over the weather station when they line up for take-off. According to my brother who knows about such things there's several dozen weather stations around Europe located in similar high traffic locations. Massively skews the data of course.

Once less thing to worry about David! How are you finding that Smoked Chilli Porter mate? Looks like a nice way to spend an evening

It was actually really nice. Their smoked porter is really pungent; great with a steak, but just a bit much. But the smokiness in this chilli one is more subtle and the chilli is barely there, so just right.

It is a great book. I've got an e-version of Metallic Implements of the Iroquois thanks to it. I'm still trying to find the Bureau of Ethnology cite about the [lambsfoots] given or traded to the Cherokee(?) by the British.

Aye I was thinking maybe I'd find a mention of the lambsfoot in the knives chapter but no such luck. So I'm assuming when this book was written none had turned up in archeological excavations relevant to the date this book is describing. I wonder if that's changed though in the intervening years.

Well that's just a stunner isn't it.

I think Jack's traced the lambsfoot to not much further back than 1900, so I doubt they'll have turned up in mountain man-related digs.

Ahhh of course then sorry. I've read a lot of Jack's historic posts, just can't remember everything I read on the internet these days.

Hello Guardians

 

[Jack Black]

Wow, never saw so many ramsfoot pins in one place!

Those were The Guardians pins to go with the 2019 Ironwood models

Thank you, Jack.

Many thanks John

Oops! Sorry mate Hope you get fed soon pal, thanks for the kind words

Looking good Ed

They do in Rome. The weather station is at the end of the runway so the jets wash their exhaust over the weather station when they line up for take-off.

Really? Yeah, that WOULD kind of skew things My neighbour was just telling me about her airline-pilot brother, who has been flying passenger-less planes out to Singapore for the past 6 months. The sole cargo was ready-made sandwiches for Marks & Spencers!

It was actually really nice. Their smoked porter is really pungent; great with a steak, but just a bit much. But the smokiness in this chilli one is more subtle and the chilli is barely there, so just right.

Glad you enjoyed it David, that brewery seem to do a good range of interesting brews

Maybe they just need to look harder

All great pics Jack. I miss the Fat Cat and Lord only knows when I'll get over there.

Thanks mate Yeah, me too, I even found myself looking at their menu the other night

I think Jack's traced the lambsfoot to not much further back than 1900, so I doubt they'll have turned up in mountain man-related digs.

Shhhh...

It got really hot here this afternoon, seemed to come from nowhere. I was out picking blackberries at the time, and it didn't take me long to pick 4lbs. Just given a couple of neighbours enough for a pie each. I'm going to make up a crumble, so that I can put it in the oven when I come back from my walk tomorrow
