A Pig....in Paradise

Fat chance of that one, JAG....I did'nt tell but I brought home another "trophy" that likes to plague me when I get near it. Poison Ivy. Seems I just have to look at the stuff. Oh well, it's worth it this time...but living there all the time? I dunno.

Good to see your back Kevin! How was Cal-ee-forn-ya?

Thanks for all the congrats guys. It was indeed a very cool adventure, and I can't wait (scratch, scratch) to come back again!

Mark, I hope Matt didn't challenge you to a little "dueling banjos" while you were down in Deliverance country. Gotta watch those shoe salesmen.

Was in your neck of the woods a few weeks ago. Spent a week around Yellowstone and Chico Hot Springs with friends and family. A very pretty place. Pretty dry too for this Fla boy.

Nice pig Mark!

Hey Danny...the story on the bow.

It's named "Frankenstein", because I backed it with sinew from a previous dry-fire failure some 10 years back, that I'd saved for all this time. I then experimented (hm, hm, ha, ha!) by glueing the hide-glue soaked sinew onto the new stave with TB 3....and it's ALIVE! I used this bow last year to take a great buck and a doe....now a hog. It's a shooter for sure. Oh yeah...prairie rattlers to dress it up. 58 inches nock to nock and around 60 plus pounds.

Mark, like everyone else, congrats on the hog. One of these days I'll have to make that trip to Montana so I can learn how to build me one of those selfbows!! Glad to hear you're still playing the guitar and doing your thing. Are you still working on that next CD? I'd love to get one that has that Monty song on it. Happy hunting.
