I need my pretty pictures on the kitchen door.Now I just use the calendar on my MacBook, and I'm quite happy with it.
Nice way to end your day Jack.I need my pretty pictures on the kitchen door.
I don't think it's just the Yorkshire chauvinism talking when I say this is particularly good tea.

Thanks GaryThanks for sharing your brother's memory of the biking event, Pat.
And thanks for the "lamb on manhole cover" photo!
I really like the patina that many manhole covers take on, so if I'm going out to take photos of knives with manhole covers or sewer grates or access hatches to water or gas valves, I try to remember to take a big old worn-out paint brush I can use to clean off dirt and leaves.
Those rosewood HHBs are fantastic, David!
Did you and Tool Man know each other back in school, Jack??
Sounds like you've got everything under control, Jer!
I used to always use something called a DayTimer calendar "system", where the spiral-bound calendars were a set of 12, one for each month with a page for each day, that I carried in a "distressed leather" cover; had to change the calendar booklet every month. It was a nice system, but became very expensive, and I eventually switched to Month At-A-Glance for my last few years of visiting student teachers in all different schools. Now I just use the calendar on my MacBook, and I'm quite happy with it.
Notable pair, Tyson!
Breathtaking, Steve!
Thanks, Mitch and Jack.

Now that sounds like an excellent catchup Jack! Always love seeing those triple rats-tailed Bolsters on that fine knife my friend!Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good weekI have a busy, and boozy weekend ahead, as my drinking pal Bod is over from Poland. He may have his missus in tow, but she drinks as much as he does, probably more
Twenty years ago, Bod and 3 other pals decided they were going to be ska DJs, bought some equipment, and started holding a night in a pub. It went well, so they started hiring a larger venue every month. Now, they're having a reunion, which is tomorrow night. Bod is arriving late afternoon, and I'll have time to have a few pints with him, before going to see the Spinal Tap sequel with Matt (the reviews are unimpressive, but it's short!). Have a good Friday everyone

That's awesome feedback about a knife gift Jack!I was going to give Bod a Lambsfoot for his son Jack, but it turns out I already gave him one a couple of years ago!Bod says he takes it everywhere, he even showed me some photos of him holding it. Jack is going to be a big lad, he's nearly 6ft already, and he's only 11!

Always love seeing this Great Knife!
Oh boy Jack hit the nail on the head with these Hartsheads - one of the special knives in my stables.Afternoon Guardians! Trust y'all are having a good day. The rodeo is tonight but I probably won't go cause of the heat. I haven't been handling the heat very well lately. Back to lolligaggin. Happy trails

Man...... Just look at that Knife! What a fantastic knife with lovely Jigging!Bob I was thinking of your cute tiny frogs. Then I remembered this movie. Beware the Frog Apocalypse my friend. Just a heads up.

Speaking of hitting the nail on the head- so too Charlie struck it well here, this Lambsfoot Jigging with this release is outstanding- yet...... I am not brave enough yet to say that it exceeds Charlies first release of his Lambsfoot, I sit them next to each other and they possess such strengths and aesthetic values I honestly cannot say which is better - and I think that is a good thing- one particular knife doesn't have to be better than the other, and if one can't decide, then that creator did one heck of a good job.Good morning, everyone!

Darn, That's a nice one all right Charlie, Oh boy anything with their stamp - is worth its weight in gold because of that quality!! Charlie- is that Ebony?I like two-blade Lambs!!! This old Joseph Rodgers is special!!View attachment 2975451View attachment 2975452

Thanks a lot SteveI hope your internet settles down. N ice pic of your Rosecraft![]()
Thanks Dave. Oh yes,right to the lazy boy.
Beautiful Steve
Indeed Gary, to say we shared the same household, and she's only 18 months younger than me, we had a very different upbringingThat's quite a "memory gap" between you and your sister regarding your childhoods, Jack!![]()
LOL!I'm surprised that using fake aromas to entice customers in supermarkets is even legal! What's next, hostesses accompanying each male shopper and using her charms to entice him to fill his cart??![]()
No, that would have been funny!Did you and Tool Man know each other back in school, Jack??![]()

Thanks mate, it was an excellent nightA dozen of us met up in the pub, and after a couple of pints, walked to the venue (everyone said it was 2 minutes walk away, but it was more like a couple of miles!). Then we had a great night of boozing, dancing, and catching up with old friends
I'm worn out today!
I was really touched Duncan
Thanks for the kind words my friend
Well said Duncan

Mitch, this is part of our back yard.
The Georgia red clay is like cement. I had to use a pick are to go down 4 feet for the trees. The walk is 25 feet and 4 inches deep! Flower beds are the same. Then, the older woman next door asked if I can help her.

And more plants are on the way!
Enjoy your spring Mitch.
Thanks Mitch. Going to put a natural color preservative on it.Thanks Jack![]()

Really like the path, take it easy on your back though.
You painting the fence or natural? I'd go natural.
Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like one of my neighbours Bob!Good day all, Sunday, a day of rest.
