Back from Eastern Kentucky.  Missed the weekend at Twin Oaks.   :-[

I don't often miss weekends with the folks at Pappy's.

Well I'll be there this weekend and then it's off to Elm Hall!

Some fun on the range Saturday morning and Sweet pea showing off her quiver from Joe. Wayne came in from West TN. to get a little help on a tricky stave,I think we got him fixed up. Great guy that we all really liked and he fit right in. :) Mike came in for the weekend and was doing some work on his hole bow.  :) :)

Ya we have quite a few around Elkton and Tiny town,these folks were from
a couple of hours North in KY.They came down for the big wheat thrashing
event in Adams ,TN. 10 miles or so up the road,they called and said they had heard of my place and wanted to come visit,wound up staying all evening. :) :) Seemed  to love it. They used the guy that drove them down's phone and he just sat around ,didn't say much and waited for them to get ready for him to drive them back.  :) Nice bunch of folks for sure. Said they was for sure coming back to the Classic. :)

It was a good time.Got my Moccasins yesterday, ;D ;D ;D got the short pair on today,man these are nice,like wearing house shoes. I had the high ones on yesterday and they feel great also.I will get some pictures up soon,she out done herself as I knew she would.Love um. Also got the grip and knock set on my new Osage,shot it 30 or 40 times then done a little more tip and string grove work,it is going to be a good one I think at this point. :)  Hoped to finish it up before ElmHall but ant sure I'm going to make it. :-\

Hi all no I'm not dead. Just can't get on putter at work much anymore. And I've been doing alot of riding. Maybe I can come down soon for a weekend.
I call a lot of people brother, but only count a few as family.
