I went to the Cutter Races today... which is the cowboy version of horse-drawn charriot races. Racers thunder by the cheering crowd in cutters, pulled by a team of thoroughbreds. Teams are run two abreast for a 1/4 mile down the snowy track to the finish line.
The annual event donates all its procedes to the Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah to provide health care for children who are in need.
Its a well attended event with lots of tailgate partys, drinking and wagering.
United States Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE photographed on a visit to Cóbh, Eire in May 2001. Berthed at Cóbh Cruise Terminal.
Camera: Contax G1 + Carl Zeiss Biogon 28mm f2.8 lens.
The ship has an interesting history and was a World War II war prize:
"USCGC EAGLE (WIX-327), formerly HORST WESSEL and also known as Barque Eagle, is a 295-foot (90 m) barque used as a training cutter for future officers of the United States Coast Guard.
She is one of only two active commissioned sailing vessels in the United States military today, along with USS CONSTITUTION which is ported in Boston Harbor.
She is the seventh Coast Guard cutter to bear the name in a line dating back to 1792.
The ship was built as the German sail training ship HORST WESSEL in 1936; it served to train German sailors in sail techniques until decommissioned at the start of World War II.
The vessel was given anti-aircraft armament and re-commissioned in 1942. At the end of the war, HORST WESSEL was taken by the U.S.A. as war reparations.

We have a lot of projects going on where I live. From trimming trees to building new fences in the complex.
Cheers to Friday and the weekend ahead!
The Cutter is a hand tool used to cut peat from less wet, shallower bogs. This means the peat it reveals is drier and therefore more easily burnt producing a whisky that has a medium-heavy smokiness, in this case, with a phenol content of 20.5 ppm. ~ ancnoc.com/whiskies/archived-collection/peaty/cutter/

This week's Macro Mondays (9th March) is the theme "Cutter". The series of shots here are my thoughts and working shots ... not necessarily my final choice.

I'm so excited about my new cutter from my newest cookie friend Lila Loa!! I have been admiring her work and she sent this cutter to me!! So exciting to have a new shape to add to my centerpiece cutters! THANK YOU SO MUCH Lila - I LOVE it!!! I'll think of you every time I use it!
These cookies go to the staff that are helping with the 40th birthday party! They will be put in cellophane bags tied with raffia!
Known only as the "Gentleman Privateer", the captain of the Rover has arrived with his cutter and crew in Terra Nova...
Pretty similar set up to what most of you cookie bakers have, I think. Some people may look at all those boxes and think I have enough cutters to last a couple lifetimes, but of course I always have more on my "wish list!"
(The boxes are normally on a shelf in my garage, but I pulled them out recently to further organize them.)
Check in on my blog this week I'll be having two different cookie cutter giveaways! As if any of you need MORE cookie cutters! =)
Decorations at the Washington County Humane Society's Festival of Trees, all proceeds go to the shelter. :)
Cheers to Friday and the weekend ahead!

How we suffered grief and pain
On the banks of the Barron cutting cane
We sweated blood we were as black as sin
And the ganger he put the spur right in

Just had the thought that this photo could also represent "The Summer of the 17th doll", a play by Ray Lawler about cane cutters.
Built as Admiralty Cutter No. 438, she was first appropriated to HMS Espiègle, a Cadmus-class 10-gun screw steel sloop, before transferring to the hospital ship HMHS Maine. With the Maine she was used to support British troops in both the Boer War (based in Cape Town) and the Boxer Rebellion in China. In June 1914, shortly before World War I commenced, the Maine was ran aground in fog off Mull on the west coast of Scotland and was wrecked. SC 438 was recovered and sent to Portsmouth Dockyard. She was decommissioned in the 1920s and converted to a motor cruiser.
Around 1974 her derelict hull was acquired by Dr Roger Stevens of Yelverton, Devon. The hull was restored and a new steam plant fitted and recommissioned around 1997. She was acquired by Peter and Tim Hollins in 1999. Original design drawings, specification and steam trial records were found and the cutter was restored by the owners to her original configuration. The engine was replaced (with one identical to the original) at the Maritime Workshop in Gosport. The cutter was again recommissioned in Portsmouth Harbour in 2008.
Named Mischief, she is 23 feet in length with a beam of 6 ft 6 in and a draught of 2 ft 3 in. She has a double-skin teak hull and was originally completed in 1987 at the Thames Ironworks & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. at Blackwall in London.
Having been built in the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, she is seen here participating in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. Her crew (as opposed to guests) are wearing uniforms from the Victorian period.
