I don't know.  It's not as big of diameter but its taller.  There are a few straight sections at the top where it limbs out.

I have been wearing black socks with a worn out on my #2 pair of hikers for a while now so that white socks don't show the holes. I guessed they were due for retiring. When I buy a new pair the #1 pair becomes #2.  It's a system.  With today being my birthday, I was planning on dumping my change jar out for the $60-80 that accumulated in the last year, making up the difference from the checkbook.  But then I saw where our local sheriff's dept and the Humane Society had raided a puppy mill and 75 sick, starved, and abused animals had been confiscated. 

I really liked that pair of #2 boots, and there is plenty of sole left. I prefer 'em broke in good, anyway.  So I went and bought almost 200 lbs of high quality dog food that was recommended and delivered that to the Humane Society. I stuck around and helped unload, seems that I was not the only person with that idea.  Spent two hours sorting and stacking bags of dog food.  Happy birthday to me.  Better'n boots, I say.

Not quite yet.  But hanging around in here has sure put some burrs under my saddle and guilted me into making myself TRY.  Every single time I come in here and read posts, I find something that reminds me that I need to try a little harder, do a little better, behave a little more proper.  Above all, with NO exceptions, and with not a single reservation....this is why I have remained a member of this self elected society of primitive archers.  The greatest lesson I have learned is that even the most twisted stave still has potential.

Thank you, everyone, for contributing to my ongoing rehabilitation as a human being.

My favorite Californian sent me this Collins ax head today.  I think I'll rehang it and use it to fell an osage tree.  Thanks again Bubby.

Down by the Tn river in Florence Al there is a huge indian mound, there was a ramshackle museum next to it with a motley assortment of artifacts, nothing special.

The city decided to build a proper museum which I went to for the first time today.

 I was a serious relic hunter in my youth and had a sizable collection that I gave to my son the last time he was here. I had a really nice sand tempered bowl that he wouldn't take because he couldn't prove I came by it legally. I did acquire it legally by the existing laws almost 50 years ago but the laws have changed and digging it up nowadays would land me in the poky for a very long time.

I asked the folk at the museum if they took donations, they did. I told them about my bowl and they said they would be delighted to have it.

I found it on a Mississippian site in conjunction with 6 other pots. Mine was sand tempered, the others were shell tempered, the friends with me when we found the pots split the others among themselves.

The folk at the museum proclaimed it to be a woodland bowl of which they only had two, they had a bunch of Mississippian pots. I know it is a Mississippian bowl because of where I found it but if they want it to be woodland so be it.

It has now taken center stage in their woodland artifact exhibit and I don't have to worry about the legality of owning it anymore.

I got a few things ready for the upcoming warm weather this weekend.  I roughed out a few bows on the band saw, sharpened the chain on my old homelite, and made a new log sled.  I made a few improvements on this one.  It should be easier to use.

I suspect I may have gotten myself in some hot water with government agencies and telecommunications corporations today.  You see, it has been a particularly cold December and January and I was feeling a bit "oat-ish" when this spell of warm weather came over us and I went out in the yard to do some yard work.  It hit a whopping 67 degrees today and I was getting kinda sweaty.

I sorta screwed up.  I took off my shirt and went about my job without thinking about what could go wrong.

Now several satellites are burnt out from the glare off my pasty white skin!
