Have fun at the tournie!

Well, I went and did it. I am now a home owner! (sigh!) 

Good news is I have a massive "Man Cave" as my wife Gayle calls it. Soooo, I expect you will see more posts from me in the future now that I will have a place to make bows and stuff. Sure miss doing that!!!

Ok! Hope all is well with everyone and I am headed back to the rental to move more stuff to the new abode!

Congratulations for your new house, David.  You and Gayle enjoy your new home. 

[D. Tiller]

Thanks Pat!

Never knew moving into a new home would be so much work. Now to start unpacking!

I've gotten better at knapping now and I will be making you up some points once I get the shop set up. I still remember I promised you some points some odd years ago.
Hope your doing well!
