Life is good

[hedgeapple]

Congrats GregB.  I supposed since she's been to Twin Oaks and has probably seen you on this site, often, that she realizes what a BIG family she's marrying into, right.

Great news Greg, hope you have a lifetime of happiness together

Thank you very much! We're both excited about the future.

Yes, Linda realizes the "big PA family" she's marrying into! She feels as I do that we're blessed to meet so many nice people through PA and our Classic shoot, and the resulting friendships that develop. She really enjoys coming to Twin Oaks and has always felt very welcome there and how nice and friendly everyone is.

Stained the arrows for the awards yesterday.  Going to start on the feathers today looks like.

I think I have around 40 tillering strings made at this point for the Classic.

I feel like life with Linda will only provide me with more happiness, I hope the same is true for her.

Had some young folks come down to start some bows
also.I think GregB/Will and Jon got a little done also.King Ron and Hayden came and spent the weekend  ,Jimmy and Michale along with their kids came to visit so It was a fun time for all. Hope yall had a good one.
Here are some pictures of the fun. Some new vices gave to me last week at our open shoot,these are great for de barking a log. Jesse sent me the skins off his big fish,blue marlin I thing,it should be good for backing,it is more like rawhide.Thanks Jesse. My trade bow getting tip overlays,some white tail from the farm.
