I saw you kissing my wife, Dano -  :) It's OK though, wives need extra kisses too  :D.

Thank you Frank and DanaM - all of you guys comments mean so much. Already thinking on the next one and was "conversing" with Mike about it some this AM, even - LOL. Don't know (just what) yet. We are both pretty tied up for the next two or three weeks - and St. Jude auction (on TG) kicks off end of the month - already listing stuff. Baltimore shoot this coming weekend and Hickory, NC the following weekend. So many fun things to do, so little time - again  ;)

Happy is a very good descriptive, Marc, thank you  :D. I can't help but smile every time I look at her or pick "It" up.

Got back from Baltimore Trad shoot Sun. Eve (now getting ready to leave Fri. AM for Hickory, NC State Trad Shoot). "It" behaved herself very well at the Baltimore shoot (her first real outing -  ;)), and made me so proud of her (I was really pleased with her performance). Only problem is that she is a bit of a showoff   ;), and she shoots sooooooooo much better than I do, most of the time.  She also drew many nice compliments from shooters and bowyers alike, and made a lot of friends, I think. Oh yeah, she got rested up quicker than I did too, after we returned - smart alecky "youngsters" anyway -  ;D

Two guys (off another forum) were up there taking a three day course to compleat a self bow, from the MD Primitive Ancestral Knowledge Group, up there. It pleased me to know that they had signed up for the course because of following my build-a-long. Gosh that feels good! They were making pretty Osage self bows too, by golly. I stopped by quite a few times during the weekend to watch their progress and chat with them and their instructor (he was rather taken by "It" too, and was flirting with her  ;)).

She's a real beauty, Bernie. The tiller looks perfect. Hope to see her(and you ;D) at Hickory.     Pat

Nice job Bernie.  Full draw looks excellent.  You should be proud. 

"I can't help but smile every time I look at her or pick "It" up"

I remember that feeling.  Enjoy, that's the actual payout in this game.  The peanuts and beer is just to keep you at the table, so to speak.
