Jack, I lucked out and had an hour between classes/meetings/school visits on a sunny morning.
There's a woodsy pond between the college president's house and the seminary on the southeast corner of campus, with an artificial "waterfall" (apparently shut down for winter already
) that recycles pond water over a rocky slope. That locale, including a rustic bench, is an ideal spot for outdoor knife photos!!
Congrats Paul (and Duncan)!!
There seem to be no exceptions to the rule that these Guardian Lambsfoot knives are all different and all incredible; you guys got real beauties, and Dylan's sheaths are super high-class!!
You're so right about Jack's (mrknife) generosity and about Jack's (Jack Black) vision, leadership, and organizational skills - the Guardians of the Lambsfoot couldn't ask for a better commander of the company!!
(Paul, I hope your knee rehab is fast and effective.
I had knee surgery just over 6 years ago, and was amazed to be walking pain-free (and limp-free) after spending Labor Day weekend to recuperate (mine was just an arthroscopic meniscus job, though). I hope the results of your surgery are just as positive for you as mine were!
)
+5K on mrknife's generosity and shenanigans!!
Thanks for your kind words, Jack; I need to do my usual new knife clean-up and conditioning this weekend to make it pocket-ready, but I've been carrying the "gift box" in my backpack all week so I can admire it!
Thanks for your congratulatory comments, Dylan, and thanks especially for crafting those exemplary pocket slips; mine is shown below!!
I share your enjoyment of Shepherd's Pie, going back nearly 50 years to my years as a college student. My classmates had little good to say about it when shepherd's pie showed up in the dorm dining halls, but I always thought it was great, even when prepared with left-over ground beef or some other "mystery meat".
Coincidentally, this week my wife brought home some shepherd's pie from the retirement home where she works part-time as a bookkeeper. It's the first time I've had it made with lamb, which seems to me to be the obvious choice for the meat in shepherds' cuisine!
IMHO, a gustatory delight!
Christian makes good suggestions that I'd support. But I think my favorite cover choice currently would be to have a ram's horn lambsfoot, and keep it all in the family!
Cool lambsfoot senator, Blake!!
After review, your troops meet with my approval as well!
Here's a shot of an A. Wright stag senator I won in a GAW several years ago (thanks, R.c.s.):
