The shed all graveled and leveled. More walnut and cherry saver from the fire . ;) Little John showed up for some ax work. Saturday we went early to set up at the Expo, first person I see there was Byron Ferguson. Hardly know him without his hat. ;)

Found some splatted wood [ I am pretty sure it is Ash] in the burn pile, I just couldn't burn it so I sliced it up into knife scales.
Then back to the expo Sunday, got to see Bryon's shooting demo, very cool. Had a good crowd Sunday also and GregB really done a good job meeting and talking to folks. Great time. Life is Good. ;) :)

I used to work the booth for our state bowhunters asso. back in the day. It can be a long cold day in March in the buildings at the fairground but it was always good to see folks from year to year. You would not think that listening to turkeys calling all day would get old, but it does real fast. Great pics. Thanks for the memories.

Yes it was a good show, been where Bryon was several times but never took the time to watch him, glad I did, he had a good talk also. Ya Chief, it didn't take long for me to try and tune the Turkey and Duck call out . ;) :) Thanks Clint /Bob. We try to set up something a little different that folks will be interested in looking at. As for the new shed, I started moving stuff in yesterday and soon found out 18x22 ant as much room as you think it is. ??? But it should help some at least. :) We are having a 2 day open shoot March 17/18 so will be busy cleaning ranges and setting up targets this week and weekend, we always like to get the ranges set at least a week before, it gives us time to tweak them a little if needed. :) For safety and looks.  ;) Nothing worse than going to a event and looks like they have just thrown the targets out 15 minutes before you got there with no thought given to the set up or safety. :(

Man it is good to hear from you Tiller, look forward to you making it back some day. We had a great weekend, got my shed all set and ready to move in and had a great time at the Expo, I will have some pictures up in a day or so. Running behind for some reason. The expo wasn't over until 6pm yesterday and then had to get all our stuff back to the cabin and put away so it was a late Sunday for me. Hope yall had a good one also.

Good to be back! Hoping I can get my bow table set up and start making bows again. I will put up some pictures of the new Homestead when i get a moment. Lot of work to do on the place. I expect I will be done sometime in the next decade or so....maybe more?!?!?!

 Ya Matt all it needs is some shaving on the floor and it will begin to look like home. I got all my Brain tanning stuff moved out of it yesterday and that really opened it up.  :) I hear ya Tiller, work never seems to be done, even when you think it is you can always find something else to do. Love to see some pictures. ;) :) :)
