Life is good

Handle ready and fitted and blade tempered, had a good supper of venison steaks, who need electricity

Knife ready for glue up and Bob's bow off the form, the light came back on at the cabin Friday night so I managed to get a few thing done that would have been possible but much harder with out it. I could get by I guess without electric but I sure do enjoy it when it's working.

Then on to the clean up, we were Blessed that all the trees that fell just missed the structures we have around.

Al good, we have enough wood cut already for the year but guess you can't have to much fire wood, also got 2 walnut logs 10 foot 6 inches and 1 log 8 foot 6 inches to get sawed up into boards. Hope all of yall are good. Life is Good.

Thanks Pappy - glad everything was safe  ! Bob

Glad everyone is safe Pappy.

Those straight line winds can really be a problem. They tend to cut a wide path and do widespread damage.

About twenty years ago a really nasty one went through here. Did lots of damage. Knocked down a bunch of barns. Killed Cattle and even a person who was in one of them.

Even moved several of those cement silos we store feed in off their foundations. One was a 30’ diameter by 80’ tall silo.

That’s a nasty wind.

PS Bobs bow is looking nice so far

Thanks guys, headed to the doctor and then to the farm for the weekend, hope y’all have a good one also, life is good 👍 Pappy.

Wow! Glad the only damage was trees down. That must have been a heck of a storm. It was great seeing you, Rocky and Kevin at the Fling and looking forward to seeing you next month. The knives are looking great!

[Pappy]

Thanks Eddie , good seeing you as always, yes they said it was like a cat 2 hurricane 79/80 mile an hour straight winds, just glad we didn't get the rain they got south and North of us before the wind came or it would have been a whole lot worse. Had a good weekend and got most everything done for our shoot this coming Saturday. Took a little time  but miss Joanie don't ask for much, she wanted a walking stick in a light color wood so she could use and also mark the grand kids height on it, I took some time and made her one, it is elm with elk antler tip and wrapped handle, she loved it. I need a few brownie point ya know.

Also took some time and made a stand for my last knife, then more wood cutting/splitting and stacking, should have enough to at least get us through the Classic.

Got my Yew bow finely tillered, it is 47@26 57inches n-n with himp handle wrap and cow horn tip over lays, really shoot nice , smooth and no stack, the RD design is a sweet design especially for a short bow.

Then on to get things ready for the spring /summer season. Stuff get really piled up over the winter but we got the place back in some kind of shape over the last week.

[Pappy]

Got a little more to do to be ready for the Classic but we are getting there.  got weed spraying this week and 5 loads of gravel coming, that won't stop the mud if it rains like it has before at the Classic but it will help.

Then on to setting the ranges for this coming weekend, I think people will enjoy it. I like it better when things green up but it looks ok and is still just a bit early here.

Few more of the range, it will be 2 15 target courses.
