Married life is A OK so far! Just wish we lived in the same State at least. That should change some time after August. Then things will be much better. Only reason I go to LA is Gayle is there right now. Man, that place is an animal house! Worse than when I lived there as a teenager!!!

Glad to hear that,wish yall the best and looking forward to meeting her someday.

Well it's Friday ,seems to come around pretty fast. I am headed to the cabin as soon as I can get away from here.Got a few projects going,in the process of sealing the snake bow and some hide work,hope to get a final smoking on a couple and another one or 2 scrapped. Not sure how much time I will have for all that, :(we have a meeting and working Saturday morning and plan on cutting some more wood and hopefully get the target shed finished and targets moved into it. Either way I am sure we will have a big time hope yall do also. See yall Monday. Life is Good.

Hello, Pappy! I made it here to PA. I just wanted to post and say thanks to you and the boys for the hospitality and welcome on Friday. I go by "gwm" other places but that name was taken here. (Heck, I might have taken it a long time ago, but I couldn't find the password for the life of me.) I chose "showme" because I'm from the Show-me State and I seem to say that a lot anyway.

I look forward to meeting more folks on here as well as at the farm.

Thanks again,
Gary

Good looking hides Pappy, looks like Woddy is still keeping yall entertained. You're bunch pulls together about as well as any I've seen. Thats quite a pile of fire wood see yall in spring. Ron

Man looks like yall had a hoot. You couldn't have done that here Saturday I had about a 1/2 inch of ice. Worse a little north of us. Mark I'm not a seamtress but as many hides as I've seem you do I'd think you would be able to have a shirt or three. Holes wouldn't stop me I'd patch them and it would make it look more like what would have been worn anyway.

Pappy · « **Reply #7315 on:** January 23, 2012, 11:15:32 am »

I have 6 now, smoked/trimmed and finished ,I have 3 more ready to make leather and 7 that I turned into rawhide, 2 still on the racks,1 for rawhide and 1 for leather and 5 left in the freezer to flesh so I don't have as many for a shirt as you think.I understand it takes 4 so I guess I am ready to start as soon as I have a plan.I want to get caught up on them bfore the weather gets hot and we start getting busy with the Classic and IBO world.

I am not sure if I am going to try it myself or try and make a trade to get the shirt made. $:-\$

Looks like fun guys. I got half a shirt done once w/o sleeves. More like a poncho, took two hides. Not as cool as your leather, I used "yellow leg" buckskin.

then I hung it in the window for ever and bleached it out a little.

Hope to have another good weekend,it has rained for 2 day and looks like it will get out of here today for at least a few days.

Don't have any big plans,I will only be there today through mid day Saturday,go a hot date with Miss Joanie Saturday evening,

Not really,Our Pastor is retiring Sunday so we are having a retirement supper Saturday night,can't miss that,he is a great guy and good friend.

Hate to see him go. Anyway I have no real plans for today so we will just have to see what we can get into. Hides and some arrow work for sure
and maybe pull some stands and a little scouting.Hope yall have a good one.See ya Monday. Life is Good.
