I've been home two days and am ready to go back too. Thanks to all of the members and friends of Twin Oaks for a great weekend. The shoot was great as usual, the course setup was as good as ever (thanks for not taking us up Mt. MF as BearG would say), the weather was the absolute best I have ever witnessed, and last, but not least, the friends that only get to see each other once a year is my favorite thing. Thanks for putting up with all of us crazies and sharing your slice of heaven on earth Pappy. Let me know if you're coming to Cloverdale I've got some more feathers for ya.

I called a bird in for Debbie's brother this morning.

You are welcome Dave,congrats on the bird. Not sure yet but I will probably be there. Rocky's bringing the bus and that makes for an easy trip for me.

Friday and headed ,yes you know where when I get away from work. Been there
every evening this week getting stuff put back in it place. Miss Joanie and I spent a few hours yesterday and got the kitchen and cooler squared away.All the freezers but 2 off and you can see the electric meter slowing down.

All we like is a couple of tents and all the signage and should be done. I am thinking about going out for a bit in the morning and see if I can shoot a Turkey in the face,

only been out ones this season and this is the last weekend, depends on the weather,supposed to rain all weekend,

:(we will see. $:-\$ I really just want to relax and maybe finish tillering the Osage bow I have been working on,yep that's what i think I will do.

Hope yall have a good one I'm pretty sure I will.

Take some time off to relax Pappy, you deserve it. And if you happen to venture out to do a little hunting, I hope you jelly head a big one.

I've been toying with the idea of getting out back for a stab at the turkeys also. I heard a gobbler this morning flirting with the ladies. A quick lawn mowing then back to making bow blanks. The Classic cleared me out.

Kick back and relax, old man, you gotta be worn out. I'm still dragging.

Hey Dell, is that a photo of you shooting in the back garden, mate?

I'm shooting into the garage same as usual, but I draped a green tarpaulin over the garage door as it was catching the sun.
I got back and could see the garden had filled out in just those few days, Hawthorn and Lilac in full flower. Planted out a few courgettes yesterday 'cos they always grow well, look good and I can eat 'em

It's great having pics of you guys, and getting the names and faces.

More shooting with Josiah and friends/Dan and Jon. I am shooting my new bow from Del. Good cast as they say across the pond.

Showing Josiah how to do some grip work on his new Osage bow.

Dan doing some knife work with the boys looking on.

They take it all in that is for sure.
