He's headed to Hawaii and the Too light to Fight, to Heavy to Run 25th ID.

He's being reassigned to an overseas assignment. We all hope he returns back to us after he's done int the 25th ID.

Well it's Friday,Sooooooooooo glad. I am headed to the cabin as soon as I can get out of here. Plan to hunt this evening,the weather is great.I went out yesterday evening seen a 5 point and button 30 yards or so.That always makes a good day and squirrels you would not believe,I need to start hunting them at least then I could get some shooting in.

I think Jon and Shannon are coming down and I am sure there will be some more vistors ,nothing special planned just same stuff/bow/arrows/Hides/Napping/eating/lye telling around the fire and some hunting tossed in.

Hope yall have a good one, see ya Monday

. Life is Good.

Thanks again guys. I've always tried to keep that part of my life, the rank in particular, aside from everything else. It's who I am and what I do - for 25 years now - but rank and position don't mean much at the campfire or in deer camp. As I said in the other thread. Ranger B has a lot of personal memories for me but Ole Jimmy will always work.

I've got some work to do on Post preparing for a couple of weeks TDY at Ft. Leavenworth, then I am heading over to the farm for a while to see Pappy and shoot a bit. I may scrape on a bow too. I have to make one for a buddy of mine.

Another great weekend, no deer but lot of fun stuff happening.Shannon made it down for the weekend along with a bunch of the regulars. Had a special treat,Gil one of our wounded warriors came down and I got the honor to give him a bow
Eric had made for him.It is a beauty of a bow and he shoots it very very well. I also got a little hide work done and finely got the finishing touches on my Winged Elm bow. I think everyone had a good time.Hope yall did to.Here are a few pictures of the fun.

The last picture was coming from the Stand Thursday evening,it was one of the pretty's sunsets I have seen in a while.

Gil and his new bow,also his first 2 shots,the 2nd was in the bull at 20 steps and the first wasn't to bad either.

Smooth and quite he kept saying.
