Then back to the shop for some bow straightening and boiling of cow horn to make scales for some of our knife projects. :) GregB is making a bunch of knives and also a bow for BigA.  :)

Pendant is real nice. Never saw another one like it. Other projects look great. You sure keep busy. Good for you.

Looks like you all had a "cool" time!  >:D

Wish I had the energy to work out in the cold like that.

Looks like you're in training for the trip up north Pappy.  Looks like a great time had by all.  Tell Miss Joanie Happy Belated Birthday.  Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Yep getting climatized Dave. :-\ ;) :) Funny it don't seem that bad once you get in it and stay in it a while, don't think I even went inside Saturday from about 6am till almost dark. :) More snow supposed to be coming tonight and 9 for the low then 19 for a high tomorrow and 6 for a low, warming up by the weekend they say into the high 40's. ??? My girls seem to be taking it in stride, at least I haven't heard them complain yet. ;) :) :) Put a fresh bail of straw and cedar shaving in there house today so they should be good to go. Got them a heated water tank and auto feeder also, so they are living high. :)

Dang Pappy all that white stuff and low temp looks kinda Yankee. We been having lows of 5 or so every night so I froze some brains into a hide the other night . Should have let it thaw and freeze a couple nights but thawed it out and soften fairly easy. Bob

Wished you did Bob, love to have your company. ;) Ya I know Steve. We got 3 to 4 more inches yesterday and down to 0 last night,school has been out all week and closed again tomorrow. up to 14 today and back down to 6 tonight. Then it is supposed to warm up a bit by the weekend, ???  then it's going to get really sloppy I am sure. :) Been working in the outside shop with a fire and space heater blowing the last couple of days, not to bad once you been out in it a while,been debarking and chasing a ring on an Osage limb bow I am starting,just enough heart wood to make it if I don't screw up , pretty thin rings and lots of pins and knots so you really have to concentrate, that takes your mind off the cold I guess. ::)

Well it's Friday and headed to the cabin for the weekend, i go everyday but something about the weekend is different. Got the Club's annual squirrel hunt this Saturday which is always fun and of course some shop work. The weather is going to be warmer, sloppy I am sure but we plan on working on the Target bails and set the practice range along with some general clean up. We are in the process of refurbishing the registration office so if it is to sloppy outside we have things to do inside. ???  Hope yall have a great weekend. ;) Life Is Good. ;) :)

Looking forward to a little squirrel hunting myself pappy.  Cant wait to see the pics on Monday.  Hunting squirrels with my dad is how I come to love the outdoors.
