I have had a GREAT day! A while back I asked about some call blanks for a buddy of mine that was diagnosed with cancer and these guys sent me blanks. I just wanted to let you all know, I got a text today with this picture. He wasn't feeling good but wanted to go out. He harvested a great bird with the call. Even though it was Stan's blank the call was made from, I wanted to let you guys see. It made me really happy to see it. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You stepped up and wouldn't accept anything from me. That is one reason I love this place. Thank you guys again!!!

Nice bird!!!
 
Not the best. One of my best friends from work lost his wife today. Very sad.....Bill retired 3 or 4 years ago but due to her health never really started doing a lot of things he thought he would, but he loved his wife and never said a word. They are both people of God in all they try to do and live, I know she is now well (this was not virus related) and dancing in heaven. Just so sad due to all this other stuff, were there 2 boys really able to say goodbye, etc. she came home from the hospital this past Friday, started hospice, thought they had a couple months and gone.......
 
Pictures say it all....well almost! Be safe and keep your eye on the tool. Or at least take the tool away from your work piece while your looking away.

Yo, Eric, looking for a reason to go to the emergency room is never a good idea. And these days a visit to the ER can be a life threatening adventure.
 
was just looking at the posts in this thread from about march 15th, corona virus nerves, empty shelves, masks. looks like we have reached a new normal as no one is posting about it anymore

I think everyone just wants to get past all of this and resume some type of normalcy in life again. But I have been enjoying the time spent in my shop!
 
No, its off hand. It's good today. Just a little sore where I took the hide off

Not quite like this, but every time I see something like this or do it to myself I think of my dad. Every time he worked on the family car he would skin a knuckle....or two or three. I would be there helping, watch him, I would flinch, and he would go on. Here I am 40-50 years later and am exactly the same way.

Although I do admit, you outdid me with this one.
 
Took a few minutes and went into get out into the desert today. BLM land of course and just looking to see if there is still enough Cholla out there for me. While walking, I found this. It was secured with the bungee type latches. When I got to it, I nudged it with my foot, and I heard sloshing from inside. So,

being the curious individual I am, I opened it just knowing I'd find a skull, or some other body parts in it. To my disappointment, there were 2 six packs of 10 oz. bottles of the best beer on the planet. 5390A237-63D8-4092-B31B-63FF75A0A79C_1_201_a.webp

Needless to say, it's all still where I found it. I could only imagine that the beer was drank, and then a pissing contest to see if they could refill the bottles. The cooler looked to be of decent quality, but it's gonna die out there. I have enough crap I collected from that location, meaning wood and Cholla.

This next picture shows exactly why Cholla was named Jumping Cholla. It collects on your shoes, and when you take a step, your foot transfers it onto the opposite leg, more than likely your calf. You are at least 2 steps away from the source, and somehow think that it jumped onto your calf.

It's also another reason to not go into the desert with flip flops or sandals. .......... Jerry (in Tucson)

I knew for sure that when you opened it it would still be full of ice
