Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

My magnolias are putting out seed pods.View attachment 2293068

Last house I had, in Houston, had a Magnolia in the side yard. They do well in that climate and there’s very few things in nature more beautiful than a magnolia in full bloom. But man, are they a pain as they kill nearly every other plant that tries to grow under their canopy.

I'm glad you're getting some more comfortable temperatures Thanks for the great pics, that's a fine-looking Lambsfoot

Thank you, Jack. I feel quite lucky to have this one and to be able to give it a workout most days

btb01 - Scout is so cute!!!!!! Very cool the drone show honored T-itusville C-utlery at the end! ... or is that T-om's C-hoice?

Headingley was once the centre of Yorkshire's old Skyrack Wapentake, part of the old Viking system of government. The name is commemorated by the next pub we visited, which has been rather ruined inside unfortunately, having been knocked out, and extended to accommodate the vast numbers of students who congregate to drink here during term-time weekends.

The name 'Skyrack' is thought to relate to an ancient oak tree, which stood here for centuries, and which also gives it's name to the pub across the road, The Original Oak.

These pubs are about halfway along Leeds' most famous pub crawl, The Otley Run, which is best avoided. It tends to be an initiation for students, who do it in fancy dress, and hundreds of them do it every weekend. It's long, and it gets messy. We did encounter some young people who had come over from York to do it...

The Original Oak has also been pretty much ruined as a pub We headed up the hill to the next pub along, owned by one of England's big pub chains. The building was formerly a girls grammar school, and while the interior is impressive, it is not in fact much like how the building was inside. That's Al at the bar, in the green jacket, in the first photo below

Al was hungry, so we walked on to the next bar, Hyde Park Book Club, for another pint, and a tasty burger

I suggested a few beers in town, but Al had to get up at 6.30am, so we called it a night. For some though, the night was still young!

I love your chronicling the pub crawls Jack. Such beautiful places. That would be so much fun.

Good morning Guardians, it rained all day yesterday here again, and all last night,

Bragging... always bragging... You guys ever had a drought?

. It feels that way some afternoons. We have had some brush fires in our area but most have been contained quickly. It is very dry all over.

I shouldn't have posted making fun of your heat wave. Karma has already come to visit. We have the next seven days over one hundred. Mea culpa...

He is still working on my coffin though!

This jumped out at me like a neon sign! and then I thought... Oh yeah... the knife...

They do put out some beautiful blooms.
I learned that the hard way this year not to plant anything under them.

Perhaps I can get a twofer!!

I sure hope that heat passes quickly Dwight.

I saw the threads on Waffle House; don't let anyone tell you different, Waffle House is a good place to eat and that all star breakfast is one great deal.
My wife is very particular about where she eats and would not walk across the street to go to a Cracker Barrel ( another restaurant chain) but we ALWAYS hit a Waffle House when going home to Ohio for a visit. Here's a suggestion; try the Country Ham, it is real Country style (dry cured?) and much better than the "city" ham others offer. It costs more than the regular city ham but it's worth it.

Sounds good Love that pic

I love your chronicling the pub crawls Jack. Such beautiful places. That would be so much fun.

Thanks buddy

Bragging... always bragging... You guys ever had a drought?

Yeah, we have one every time it doesn't rain in London for a fortnight!

'76 was pretty dry, reservoirs got kind of low

Yikes! Hope you can find some shade Dwight

Hope everyone has had a good start to the weekend. Cleaning up my knife area and wanted to share the state of the lamb collection. I set out a year ago to have a good 7 day set of lambs. Well I like all knifeaholics could not stop at 7 and have 10 awesome lambs in the rotation. Some bought and some gifted. I am honored to have these wonderful knives. Now the hard part. Which one do I carry today? Feeling like a Charlie lamb kind of day.

Fantastic Paul. What a gorgeous variety of beauties!

First time I went there and the waitress asked me if I wanted my hashbrowns smothered, covered, or chunked I knew I had landed in a mecca of deliciousness

Okay, before Cherri and I met I was single the previous 17 years. 4 am Waffle House stops were common to the point I knew everyone that worked there. One morning as I was about to walk out one of the waitresses ask If I would mine taking her home since she had no car. First question she ask as we pulled out of the parking lot was "Do you use drugs?" I answered "I do not." She said "That's good because I just got out of rehab." Great food and some great people work there but it is a "colorful caste of characters".

I have to be Honest, I simply would not go in there!

we just found there was not a lot of alternatives other than Deep Fried food

You say this like it's a bad thing....

there is only so much continual deep fried / take-away foods you can have.

Not true mate. You can eat it continuously ... right up until the end. As evidence If it pleases the court I'd like to submit exhibit 1 - aka - Tool Man.

Went to the tractor show earlier

Wonderful show!

I mentioned a while back, I think in this thread, that the sweetest tea I ever had

If you come upon some unfortunate soul who is in "insulin shock" one need look no further than the nearest Arkansas restaurant for sweet tea. It may be introduced orally or intravenously as a substitute for glucose.

Beaten down the hatches with plenty of whiskey and cold beer!

Great pic of your Charlie Lamb !

Thanks, Steve. Stripey is looking great as always.

Couple of great-looking Lambs there Paul

Thanks, Jack. Not to shabby yourself, friend.

Thanks a lot buddy, I just had a nap! I seem to be having a lot lately

My favorite time to nap is when you are not supposed to lol. My wife hates it. I will fall right to sleep during a movie until I get that sharp elbow and a good amount of side eye from the boss .

Thank you, Dwight. Im a lucky guy.

I agree. Great people who are good at what they do. It always amazed me how the grill operator managed to keep all the orders together. That place would get to standing room only.

LOL! I don't know what has been up with me this past week, I've been sleeping OK, but I've also been napping once or twice a day too! I got up to use the bathroom the other night, and fell asleep walking back to my bed, walking right into the bedroom door!
