Blackhawk, you know from previous conversations that you're welcome at my place anything. So, coming a couple days earlier is no problem. Heck, you'd have 2 bows done before anyone else got here. Or every osage on the place cut and split.
As far as your wife concerns, Maria says wine and chocolate is a good bribe.
I hope you can make it work.
Ozzy, it's my pleasure. I'm pretty darn excited about the gathering, too.
