Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I heard about it keeping up with what the breweries are doing.
Cracking walk today; with pie of course. I see you found some pie of your own

LOL! No. Not that Winchester. There normal in there.

Well we know you Aussies have excellent pies of your own that you keep to yourself, so we kept ours a secret.

Looks like you rescued things there.

Some pictures from my walk today. Forest of Bowland, County of Lancashire looking out towards the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire.






Hope your all having a nice Friday.

 

Second breakfast is very common in hospitals still. Day shift starts at 7:00am or 7:30am depending on your hospital. If there's time of course morning break is second breakfast and a bacon or sausage bap is common. Of course not all nurses get to have a breakfast before leaving home but most did as you couldn't rely on having time for 'second breakfast'.
But it's never an apprentice, it's whoever gets off the ward and has chance to run down to the canteen.

I've never heard of 'forenoon-drinkin'; I'm wondering if it made it over 'wrong-side' The only forenoon-drinkin I've ever come across was genuine forenoon-drinkin'. When I worked warehousing in Manchester's Department Stores it wasn't uncommon to find us all in the Shakespeare pub for our 'liquid lunch' when doors opened at 11am.

Had a great walk thanks Jack; it was the perfect day for it.

 

Or sent down to the local hardware store to purchase a " Left Handed Shifting Spanner "..

 

Great photos David. Like Jack says - looks like you had a great walk!!

Jack - Ron’s one is a nice Knife indeed. No my one probably won’t compare - but still hopefully it will be nice. My one has the different jigged Bone - I guess it will be a wait and see game - the sellers photos weren’t that great.

 

On Jacques Pepin's first day as an apprentice, he was sent chasing all over town to get the chef's souffle weights back from a borrower (who of course had lent them to another chef...).

All this talkin' about pie made the wait until I could get home today absolute torture!



And these yummy food and lambsfoot photos are making me wonder how Harvey's doing? @cigarrodog

 

One of each?

 

My shift was 7:00 pm to 7:00 am while I was in school getting my degrees. I worked in a trauma unit (EMT) and we ate whenever there was a break in "action" so to speak. Many nights we were so busy we took turns to go to the bathroom and grab a cup of coffee on the way back. I had classes between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm and showered and slept on the run. Those pies look so good, my blood sugar levels went up just looking at them.....thank you gents for the pictures, I take a walk vicariously with you, my job is keeping me indoors much more than I would like.

 

Good evening Guardians, hope you have all had a good week, good to see some old friends back this week. Did a clean of my ironwood lambsfoot last night, the amount of dirt and grime that came off the wood was amazing. We all know that wood covers will darken over time, the covers on my ironwood had really good grain showing when i got it but with carrying and darkening that has virtually disappeared. But they smoothed a lot, so it is swings and round about's, but it shows one advantage of carrying and use. The natural oils in your hands will preserve the wood and carrying is the only cover maintenance you will need. Going to show a couple of photos of the grime that came off the wood, the small piece of 0000 steel wool was the light grey color of steel wool when i started but ended up dark grey, i used a light colored micro-fibre cloth to finish the cleaning to highlight the grime that came off the wood. I have posted the knife before with the wood in pristine new condition, but i had a clean out of my photos and deleted it so i cannot show it to compare, i have done previously before though. Hope you all have a good weekend, Spring is not too far away..

 

One question about this cleaning business....I've read hereabouts that you folks will clean and oil a new knife. One thing I learned the hard way was to clean the knife before I sharpen it...When you flush it with mineral oil, do you dunk it in a cup with oil or do you use a pipette to jet the oil in the joint?

 

I'm all about the pipette

 

Thank you, I was doing it the hard way...again! I feel like the poster child for the "DUHH!!" campaign
