Got my rack repair back from my buddy, looks great, he done a great job matching it, usually wouldn't repair a broke tine but this was a special year and since i had pictures of him before it was broke I decided to have it fixed, glad I did. Then spent some alone time around the fire with just the girls and a beautiful sun set, been a tough couple of week but guess that's how life goes sometimes. ;) Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good. :)

Great weekend, still limping around but got MRI Tuesday so just maybe they can figure it out and get it fixed, if not guess I will keep looking like Chester on Gun Smoke. I spent most of my time close to the fire and shop but had lots of company, so a very good time. Mainly worked on knives and cooked. Did get all my Goose wings worked up and my Turkey feathers ready to ship.  :)

Got the feathers all boxed up and ready to ship tomorrow, about 20 lbs so a bunch of feathers, 3000 at least. Also got some linseed oil on my rack and ready to hang somewhere. Started on the handle for my new knife and got the blade heat treated and ready to temper.

We have a annual rabbit hunt for the club every year and have a friend with dogs, we use our bows , so lots of shooting but not many rabbits, I didn't get to go out this year because of my knee but had fun with the guys at lunch and after the hunt, only 1 rabbit killed but a good time. :)

Let us know what the DR says, Pappy. Getting old ain't for sissies that's for sure.

Hate hearing about the knee, Pappy. I've had meniscus repair twice but don't have to worry about it anymore with two knee replacements. The deer rack came out great! If I had a chance at a doe last year it would have been a trophy. Didn't get to hunt after the surgery but being able to walk now is a whole lot better. Really missing you guys and tell Gregg I'm thinking about him.

Thanks Guys, got surgery next Tuesday, he said it was kind of a mess with tears/arthritis and some old stuff from the pasted I didn't even know about  ??? but he felt pretty good about fixing it, so we will see. Had a good weekend and had a great time visiting with Rocky and Frits, them guys are a hoot.  :) Got a few things done around the shop but we were mostly in wood cutting mode and got a bunch done. I was tractor man most of the time but did use the saw when my buddies weren't watching me.  ;) :) Shaw showed up and got all his billets and stave sealed and ready for the barn. Lot of good wood in a year or 2. :)

I got the arrows and feathers started for the Classic awards, made a little head way on that but mostly concentrated on our wood pile.  :)
