Me also BJ, I guess that's why I love doing what I do, lets my mind just think on the project at hand, forgetting about, at least for a while all the crap going on around you and the world, very peaceful feeling for me. :)

I spent some time this morning laying out the route from the Black Hills to that little holler down Tennessee way. Now way around it, there is gonna be a minimum of 18 hours of windshield time. I have a tentative co-conspirator in Minnesota that may jump on the wagon at the six hour mark into the drive. So I am figgering we'll tag-team the steering wheel and do the whole thing in one push.
Pappy:
Ya long drive for sure JW, we do 22/23 hours straight through every year going to the flat tops close to Meeker, just me and Beau, it's tiring for sure but always in a hurry and excited to get there so don't seem that bad :) Had a great weekend, spent Thursday and Friday working on hides and feathers for the Classic trophies, then Saturday early went to the Buck Hollow shoot and spent most of the day, great time and good shoot, they had a big crowd and a fun course to shoot, I forgot my camera so no pictures, sure wished I had it, last target was a steel crow with a kill about the size of a large egg at 15/18 yards, I centered punched it, best shot of the day !! We have a new guy in the club,Bob, he is really wanting to learn some primitive skill so I am trying to help him along best I can, This is his first hide and he done really well, got it into raw hide so far, only cut a couple of small holes in the thin part of the hind quarters but that's part of the learning. over all great job :) My feathers laid out and ready to split, need 120. ;)

Shawn showed up working on chasing a ring on an Osage stave and also a limb bow that he left the sap wood on, looking very good as of now. Got my big hide on the smoke for the final smoking. I had to gather some more punk wood but that's not hard to find around the farm. :)
