Back up

 

Thanks Pat, got a lot done this weekend getting ready, got most all the wood cut we will need for the Classic and the year around the fire pit, also got the new pavilion wired/lights and plugs done and ready for vendors, more to do but getting there, only about a month until people start showing up so I better get busy. 
Pappy

Mark you got things looking good and I'm sure looking forward to getting down to see all my friends.    Kurt

I have an awesome snakey osage self bow that is 6-8 lbs too heavy for me and I don't know the difference between a cabinet scraper and a planer!  If I bring the bow, do you guys know anyone that would be willing to help me shave some pounds off?   

.

Nice looking bow, I feel sure you will be able to find someone to help you out on that, I did one for a buddy last year, not sure I will have time but I know someone will. Great bunch of people working around the shop area that are always more than willing to help.
Pappy

Ok, thanks Pappy. I'll plan on bringing it with me.

Things are looking good there, Pappy. I can hardly wait to get there.
Lots of bow work going on there, Michael. Like Pappy, I'm sure you will find help with your sneaky Osage bow there.

Wow how time flies, only 3 1/2 weeks before we head that way.      Kurt

3 weeks before we hit the road.    Kurt

Yep Kurt, time gets away, lots to do in a short time and all these storms haven't helped, maybe it will get it out of it's system by then, if not we will just have to do like we have done many time, just get it done. See yall soon.
Pappy

Brother Steve and I worked on our pop up today, trying to get things ready. Little over 2 weeks before we head out on Friday the 25th, with our buddy Eric and family.    Kurt

 

Thanks Pat. Heading down this morning to start setting the ranges, it takes us about 2 weeks to get that done and tweaked so it is time to get started. Things are looking pretty good, now if the weather will just play nice should be a great time.
Pappy

I can't make it this year, because I'm writing a new book, hunting turkey, and getting merchandise ready for Compton Trad Bow rendezvous, but hopefully next year will be my first time. Mike

Hope you can make it someday Mike, I think you would enjoy it. Got a lot of stuff done this weekend, place is looking pretty good, won't be long now.
