Yep Pat,it's guys for sure,

Miss Joanie don't come and hang out much unless their is more than me to talk to.

Friday and really looking forward to this long weekend [labor day] I plan on doing some bow work,starting the finish work on my Mullberry and long string tillering my Yew bow, I put the Yew back on the form last evening trying to get a stubborn kink out of one end,hope I got it this time, $:-\$ $:-\$ I will know this evening when I take it off the form,if so I am ready for nocks to be cut and to thelong string and tiller stick.

I need to fit in a little time for some bushhogging and a little scouting,scouting this time of year for me consist of looking for mass crop, if the acorns and persimmons are there so will be the Deer.

Hope yall have a good one. See ya Tuesday.

Life is Good.

Thanks for finally telling us your early morning schedule. Never knew about the daily trip to N/ville. I have always been an early riser and reading your posts makes the start of the day a gooder as one of our friends likes to say! Went to the hills over the weekend and was surprised to see four good sized bull moose and one cow. Passed up a shot at some cow elk as it was a little to warm to handle the meat. Spent one day fly fishing with my daughter and had great success. This time of year with the start of hunting season really is the reason "Life is Good"! Joe

You bet it is Joe,love this time of year, they wood fire smoke tobacco in the barns here in this part of Tennessee for chewing /Cigar and snuff ,you can always tell when fall is near when you start smelling the smoke from all the barns,love it,
the cool foggy morning with the smell of barn smoke in the air.

You know hunting season is just around the corner.

I wish y'all could send us some of that fall weather. From the one picture looks like my Jeep made it up there without me

.

Oh, yea, talked to David Tiller last night and convinced him to start making plans now so he and Gail can make it to the Classic next year. I gave him the name of a motel and he is planning on being there.
