Spent the past couple days visiting daughter. Went to all my grandkids Christmas Pageants now. Outback hoping you can be my motivation to get these hides put up right. I've done a fair amount of tanning hides. Still haven't brain tanned any deer hides yet though. Trying to find a good spot I can make a big mess in and not get in to much trouble . It's kinda cold outside here now. Probably will warm up fast though when I actually start burning some calories.

I miss my old farm house where I brain tanned deer hides throughout the winter in the basement.Had a wood stove down there.I'm hoping I got a similar buck this year to match the one I have done back in 2015.Both bucks are around 5 year old animals.They should make great full length pants for long inseams.Have 4.5 year old doe too along with a [nanny goat hide which more than likely will just be rawhide].Oh yea...I gotta retrieve and skin a skunk hanging in a tree airing out in the cold.....Ha Ha.I'll have to wait till more favorable weather to brain tan the doe and buck deer hides outside.The skunk I might just aluminum sulfate tan in a bucket inside.Good possibles bag material....Ha Ha.Have a unique idea for it. No matter what process of tanning those big hides will get the best out of ya.

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I've been getting a Christmas Tree from White Cedar brush in the old railroad bed for longer than I care to admit. Yesterday was the third year I got them for my grandkids. We went out and picked out a half dozen to put together. It's more like arranging flowers than putting up a Christmas Tree. My youngest grandson asked me how much the trees cost. I told him five hugs. Everyone had a good time and I made sure I got paid my hugs. My son and daughter inlaw thanked me. I told them I enjoyed it and the pay was good.
