Life is good
8up:
I got to the farm just before 6am. Pappy was already messin with a piece of osage. He put it in to steam while we went to shoot. I worked on a hickory for myself and got it to 23" and worked on another poece of hickory for my son and put a ton of reflex in it. When I finally sat down Pappy says what, Don't tell me your out of projects to work on? So I grabbed another hickory stave and laid it out and pappy split the belly off it and greg cut it out real quick. Pappy, Greg, Steve, Anthony and myself worked on bows and BS'ed all day. Life is good, Thanks Pappy

Ya we had a great time,Hillbilly the boys caught some crawfish in the creek and wanted to keep
them.I told them they would die so either put them back at the end of the day or cook and eat them.One of my rules[,they say I have to many] if you kill it you use it.So they cooked them up along wit a frog or 2 and ate them.They said they were pretty good,I don't know about that but the ate them just the same.I wished you guys lived closer to. :)

Yeah, the boys had such a good time that they talked me into letting them camp again last night behind my house in the woods. I had to think about it, cause I don't want them running all the deer off. ;)
This morning when I went out to my truck to leave for work, I could hear them already up (or perhaps they never went to bed)...and they had a fire going. They're at that age where they want to spread their wings some, you just hope they don't get hurt in the process. :)

AH,But Greg.How many times did you get hurt having fun and not tell Dad? At least it's not girls doing the hurtin' yet ,I hope.
