Hi Pappy and all, Happy Birthday to Miss Joanie and your Mom, as well! As Buckeye Guy stated, it is a lot harder to talk to them in Heaven. We love checking out all the replies and photos, as it is almost like being there. The knife work by GregB and Jon is impressive, especially the leather tooling by Greg. Glad to see you received some snow, maybe it will knock down the ticks a bit. ! Trying to figure out how to make it to the Classic... Have some HHB from NH to bring you. Love from the Evans Family

The last picture was Brian and his son Hunter,hunted hard just no deer. :) Getting tips glued on my Osage and ready for skins,I like to black the back when using Diamond backs,makes the diamonds stand out better.Skinning and boning Cases's deer and then Jesse shows up and want to show out doing pull ups,man I wished I could still do that.Great to be young but being older ant that bad either. ;) :) Great time with some great guys. thats it for this week,can't wait till the
next one. Life is good.  :) :)

Spent the day at the club Saturday and really enjoyed myself! How could a person help but enjoy themselves if you like the kind of stuff we all here like??? I've taken a long break from bow making...been a year this past August since I've made one from start to finish although I helped with quite a few during the last Classic. I think I may try my hand at an elm here before long. ;)

Looks like fun Pappy.
I am due a visit.
Let me know a few days in advance before the "Big Firewood Cutting".
If I can make it I will bring my saw up and Earn my Keep.
