What Did You Do Today?
skyarrow:
Hang in there bud my 3 year old picked the flu up yesterday :(
Badly Bent:
Today was the last decent day before we get some really cold weather around here. Could have hunted again but that has been futile in the past couple weeks, seeing nothing at all the last few trips out. So spent the day outdoors with the wife and our dog hiking. We did about six miles through the woods in my hunting area and also explored some beautiful river bluff canyons. It was a good day but she pushed us hard on the trail and my knees are hurting tonight. I enjoy a slow paced long hike but Sharons in it for the no pain no gain
type exercise hike. It was a good day spent with my favorite person though and worth the pain. :)

That is some beautiful country there.

Those big rock shelves are cool, Greg.
I've been off work since before Christmas. It is a yearly planned layoff and I get seasonal unemployment til March. So, my wife thought this would be a great time to paint the inside of our house. We are doing it a little at a time but only started yesterday with some of the trim work.
...and it has been too warm here for this time of year. It was 70 today. >:(
Our low tonight(about 50) is what our high should be with 20 at night. The whole Eastern half of the country is in this heat wave while the West is in the deep freeze. Denver was 8 this afternoon.

I received my first sack of turkey feathers from a buddy of mine. I gave him a bow back before Christmas and he offered to pay me. I told him just to give me any of the turkey wings he comes across. He is a son-in-law to the busiest taxidermist in these parts and the whole family is a bunch of avid turkey hunters. I really wasn't expecting to see any feathers till spring, but I am already stocked up on my fletchings! :)
The warm rain has sort of put a damper on the hunting around here. I did take a fox squirrel with my recurve in a little strip of woods between pastures out back of the house. Skinned him out and tacked him to piece of wood. He will be part of a rawhide bowstring before long. I skinned the tail out for string silencers.
Shot my bow a little into the hay bale in the backyard. Rained started up again, so I went into the shop and finished chasing a ring on a black locust stave that I got from Greg. I also worked on a winged elm that is dealing me grief. It is deflexed, propeller twisted, and just downright contrary! I have heated, steamed, bent, straightened, and doggone near given up on this piece a couple of times.... Oh well, I am committed to torturing this thing into a bow. Back at work now 7 -7. yee haw.
