Good use of a Texas summer day Slim, the kinda activity that gets your batteries recharged for the upcoming week. :)

That looks like a good relaxing day.  That is a neat arrow Multi tool.  Is it out of bone?

Haven't posted in a while. I finished phase one of my logging project, cut 13 trees that were too close to the house or shading the yard so grass wouldn't grow. I split all of it but one 100ft sweet gum into firewood to give away. One huge stack is gone but I still have a pile in the yard for a friend to pick up, it measures 18ft long, 14ft wide and 5ft high, lots of fire wood. I sure got tired of cutting firewood and am glad it is over.

Today I am hooking up my bush hog and headed to the land I hunt to start getting the food plots ready to plant.

Morning pot of coffee is gone.  Bed is made.  Lawn is mowed.  Weeds cleared from garden.
Time to go SHOOT!

Started my day with coffee and Ring Chex.  You say you don't get that variety of Chex in your local grocery?  Sorry, it only comes in wood.

Iowabow brought me this stave last spring when he came out to hunt turkeys.  It had lain on the ground long enough for the bark and most of the sapwood to rot nicely.  It also checked pretty good, so I am chasing Rings and Chex.


Taking a break to go get more coffee and some pics.  Here's where I left off:


It's a pretty dang wide stave with probably two really good flatbows in her, if I can get below the checks in the wood.  I am quite sure I have the depth, so I am beating the heck out of things with the draw knife.  No care for growthrings or such polite niceties, just hogging wood!


So far I have not encountered as much as a single pin knot.  Hehehe, this may be some uber-ultra-superduper-primo wood.  Or it might be a large pile of Shavings Chex. I guess we'll see if I need a big spoon or a tillering tree before this is done!

I got to go to Pre-admission on my Birthday at the hospital for my surgery Sept. 23. Man, I'm kinda looking forward to it to get a break from work. :)

He has a bad ball joint in his rear end, causes him to get squirrely coming out of corners and uneven tire wear.  He's going into the body shop to get it replaced.   >:D

Nope, you're all wrong! They're gonna open him up and remove his gall bladder. Said he's got a bad case of swine fever. It's a regional thing that happens around airports.  ::)

As long as they leave that "mean bone" right where it is, we are all set. He needs that to muscle bad guys around on here when things get unruly.

Dove season opens today. I found an out of the way sunflower field planted on the local wildlife refuge that is swarming with doves. Foot traffic only to the field will eliminate the majority of dove hunters who like to drive in and sit on the hood of their trucks.

The season opens at noon, back in the old days I would be in place at 11:30am, sweltering in the sun until the birds started flying late in the afternoon. Being much older and wiser I now wait until 3:00pm or so to head to the field.
