I put some hickory staves in my hot box at about 13%mc a couple weeks ago, checked them yesterday and they were down to 7%. These are for students who happen by, wanting to make their first bow.

I have got to clean my shop up, my work bench is 8ft long and has the remnants of at least a half dozen started projects piled one on top of the other on top of it. I know there is a wood work bench top under there somewhere, just have to do an archaeological dig to find it.

Over the weekend I worked on getting the honey I pulled into jars , still have five gallons to go ( got just over 15 gallons so far) .
I also split some osage that I cut a month ago , still have two nice logs in that pile and then I need to start on another pile of osage that I cut back in March.
The two big logs are 69" and 78" long .

Late yesterday afternoon I went out on an injured raptor call, only to find a very large and very perturbed golden eagle.  He was unable to fly, but could sprint like the Jamaican Bobsled team heading for the hot showers!  Got him corraled up and our vet had a quick look at him.  Nothing appears to be broken, so we held him overnight at the request of USF&W.

This morning I loaded him into a large dog kennel, popped him in the back of the Jeep and headed out on the 3 hour drive to the nearest qualified veterinarian/rehabber.  I just got back into town in time to get to work this evening and my Jeep smells like eagle poo.

At least I got a chance to b.s. with Soy on the phone for a while this afternoon!

Finished my first semester of medical school today. Hoping to get a little knapping in before I start back up on Monday. :)

Eric, for some reason I didn't have you as messy bench guy. You surprised me!

When you mix bows, flintlocks and spur of the moment general repairs to assorted odds and ends and never put anything up, it gets out of hand rather quickly.

Sure hate to see all those deep checks in that fine osage. Been there done that. My motto now is never to put more osage on the ground than I can deal with in a timely manner before the checking starts.

Took the mower off my tractor, put my bush hog on, loaded up my tractor on the trailer to drive to Tennessee to bush hog food plots on the land I hunt. Hot, very steamy day, this isn't going to be a fun afternoon but I have to get it done.

What model is your tractor Roy? I am thinking about trading my B7510 for a slightly larger one.
