The Twin Oaks bow sounds like it will be a proper prize. Looking forward to seeing that go down.

I hope so Steve, it is a nice piece of wood. Had a good weekend. Done some bush hogging Thursday and had some bad luck, my old hat of 20+ years meet it maker when it fell off the tractor under the bush hog

so I had to go back to my older hat I had retired, very sad day.

Also softened some more files for knives.Shawn showed up for some bow work so even with the loss of my old friend [hat] it was a good day.

Then Friday morning we headed up to KY. to the Trad fest, left a 4am and got back around 3:30pm long day but lots of fun shooting with my buddies and talking with some old friends.

More from the shoot. When we got back we done a little more prep work for the Classic and then went out and shot our practice range,I think I shot well over 100 arrows at targets Friday.

New Flags are flying at Twin oaks.

That's always a sign of Spring.

One of my buddies Tracy, brought 2 loads of mulch and his dump trailer for me to use , we got it put out for the vendor tent set up, I am supposed to have 10 or 15 more loads coming this week. That will be my last big job getting it all spread before the Classic. It's a lot of work but really helps if we get rain and we usually do.

Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good.

Nuthun' Cuter than Kids & Dogs ! Sorry to hear about the Hat Pappy - Thanks - Bob.

Pappy · « **Reply #18085 on:** April 12, 2021, 08:50:01 am »

Ya Bob, it was a sad day, been wearing that hat for over 20 years, tried to get Miss Joanie to sew it back up but she sad NO.

Guess I will just wear my other old one, not sure I have enough time to break in another. $:-\$ My old Dodge laid down on me last week so got to put a fuel pump in it, ant sure who had the bright idea to put that in the fuel tank but if I could fine him/her I would give them a swift kick in the behind,

you either have to drop the tank/pull the bed or cut a hole in the bed. Not sure which I will do yet but I do know after 32 years I will have some rusty bolts to deal with so the hole in the bed may be the ticket, we will see today.Got plenty of other things I need to be doing but I got to have my old truck so it will take priority for now.

Pappy sounds like the rest of your week can only go one way, after mashing your favorite hat and your ole truck going down , things can only get better. See ya in a couple, Let me know if ya need any northern materials. Bob

Ya Bob as they say it could always be a lot worse, life is still very good.

Got the fuel pump in yesterday, still got a few little things to do to it but should be back up and going today.

Don't know why but still enjoy wrenching once in a while, always have since I was a kid ,done it for over 45 years for a living, guess it was just born in me.

We need to find you a new heavy felt hat. When Bucky came off the hill and said Pappy bushhogged his hat up. I was thinking "Geez this is gonna be bad". I have to say you took it like a champ but they way you were holding it I know that thing was like an old friend.

Whose that ol selfbow hunter splitting the lip on that Mule headed buck?

When I dropped that deer cape off Marc said " that dear had an eye nose measurement of 7 3/4"?
I said "yes". He said " thats a big headed long nosed buck". He wanted to see it so he left to thaw out immediately.
