Friday and I am really looking forward to this weekend, I am off Monday so will have a long one. :) It is opening for Turkey and Dave is coming in today for a few days to hunt and hang out. We also have a meeting and working Tomorrow to start getting ready for the Classic. Dave has a few project he is doing for us and I have a few in the shop. :) Miss Joanie got the writing on my trade bow yesterday so plan on finishing it up over the weekend along with some work around the cabin and may even get in a little  Turkey hunting, we will see. :) Hope yall have a good one also. Life is Good. ;)

The Ford is packed and getting ready to head out.  Man am I stoked!!  It's been a long time since November when I was down last. Looking forward to seeing the
Twin Oaks gang, do a little hunting, a little work, a little eating, (we always eat good) and just relaxing.  See you in a few hours Pappy.  I'm heading out the door.

Yeah Pat,  I think he said he had Monday off. He will probably be on in the morning.

Some trade points in the works. Bill working on a James Parker Boo backed bow. I put a mouth piece in my side blow horn, inverted cow horn tip, it works much better for me now and ready to seal my trade bow. :)

Sealing my trade bow, it got 8 coats of Tru oil hand wiped over the weekend and 3 coats of Satin polly. Otis showed up for a few days of Turkey hunting and a little electrical work around the Cabin. Jon got all the Arrows ready for the Classic Trophies. Just need the points tied on. :)

Otis doing a little shooting, Me and him headed out Saturday morning to hunt. All the points mounted on the trophy arrows except the Stone points, I plan on doing that this week. We got the added tents put up so Chuck and Geoffrey are working on the vices to get them in shape for the Classic. ;)
