Wow. I got tired just reading all of the stuff you guys did. You should write a companion book to Phil Robertson's Happy, Happy, Happy and call it Busy, Busy, Busy! A bunch of the Hawkeye guys attended a shoot north of Pittsburg in Pennsylvania. The rain held off, but it was wet! We threw the tomahawk and a knife in a competition. What a blast!

Pappy: Who is the guy in the last picture? Looks somewhat like you, but can't be as there is no bib overalls. Life is good for sure. I had a birthday and a father's day this weekend and shot a ton of carp with my bow! The pup sure has grown from the Classic! Joe

Got me another knife laid out last evening,sister blade to the one I just finishing up,it will have elk antler handles also,getting low on that stuff,

at least scrap stuff. :)Still have the 2 complete ones Joe gave me but I ant cutting them up,they are for decor around the shop.

Also got another hide dried and ready for the final smoke,that may be the last one for this season unless the weather turns cool and low Humidity again for a few days,tough getting them to dry while stretching in 75% Humidity.

This will be 7 for the year,guess I need to see
if Becki is up for another shirt.
