Yep Jon, it's hard not to have fun at Twin Oaks.  Even if you're doing nothing....

We do have a good time Matt,wished yall were all closer. :( Sometimes I have to much going on,right now I have 3 knives in the works,2 hides to de hair or stretch,a Persimmon bow to tiller and still sealing Gabe's recurve I put the skins on. O ya almost forgot the 20 scouts coming in a few weeks. Also got a bunch of supplies from Grizzly yesterday so need to get all the saws and sanders up in good shape for the Classic, and a shoot coming up in mid March. :)busy,busy. :)

Seabass and myself for sure in March, and a maybe for Brother Dan.  Do you need help with the scouts? If Miss Dwn don't have anything going on I'd love to come down and help with that. Depending on the weather sounds like a good ride on the Harley.
I call a lot of people brother, but only count a few as family.
