I always liked him on the show.  He seemed to have the most common sense out of any of them.  Plus any guy that wears shorts in the snow is OK in my book.

I pulled one from the corner of shame this morning for another look.  For the life of me I could not remember why I put it there, when I started it, or what I intended to do with it in the first place.  Nice piece of hickory, though.

I fiddled a bit with long string tiller until I had one limb looking really good and the other pretty close.  I switched to a shorter string and evened the two up, only to find the better limb had a little hinge action going on.  I thought long and hard about whether to put wood back on or lighten everything else up.  I took a break to finish off half a watermelon and decided to take wood off to match the hinge. 

It is pulling low 40's I think and I have some red chestnut stain on the bow drying now. 

I think I will name this bow Cersei.

Spent most of Sunday night in the ER with kidney stones. Took my kids down to the lake Monday evening for a cookout and a rock skipping contest. And no my kidney stone didn't skip goo at all

Kidney stones don't sound fun at all.  A couple of guys at work have had them.  Hope they all worked their way out.

From what I hear, it is like shooting knapping pit leftovers out your guy parts!
