Stinging caterpillars are nasty little critters.  I had one sting me through blue jeans when I was young.  How is your leg doing Eric?

The leg may be a little better today, can't tell for sure, some of the numbness is gone.

The Merlins that nested across the street have fledged and are flying around the neighborhood.  I'll be in the shop and hear their call and try as I might I can't ignore them. I spend half the day standing in the driveway staring up. I know they are bathing in our pond but I haven't been able to get any pictures. I thought bow making was addictive but boy oh boy. My wife was trying to explain a chore and the Merlins started up and I just zoned out. She waited patiently until I came back to earth. Love those little creatures :D

Got her today. Heard them squawking, looked out the door a there was a sopping wet merlin sitting on our gazebo. She had just bathed in our fountain. Got a bunch of pictures and then she took off to the nearest tree and landed beside her sister. You can see one is wet. Funny thing, last year I got a picture of a wet merlin on the gazebo on July 10. This year same thing on July 9. I'll keep these days open for next year.

PS I'm assuming they are juvenile and female. They are substantially bigger than their father.

This evening I saw one of them grab a dragonfly in flight. They'll move on pretty quick I think. It'll sure be quiet around here.

Thanks Matt, In between all the riding we are getting my hunting camp ready for my dads memorial
archery shoot for this weekend.  25 2 and 3 d targets and a Friday night coon shoot.  Had 35 or so people last year and expect 50 this year.

We also have a 21 arrow salute to dad and others that have passed away.

The leg is still stinging when I move the wrong way, not as bad as before so it is getting better very slowly.

I have been out in the shop pulling old failure bows out of the dusty corners and fixing them. I am working on one now that I put aside at least 6 or 7 years ago when I found what looked like a fatal flaw.

This bow had the wimpiest osage in it I have ever encountered but will make a nice ladies or large kids bow.

I plan to give all the repaired bows away, possibly at the state shoot next weekend.

Cut two burls out and found some very nice spaulted hard maple above and below the burls. Also removed two iron wood trees, debarked and split for future use.  Then got home and did a training bike ride.

Just another day for a retired guy.
