Ya it was just a little tail heavy. It was only 3 miles from home though.

I painted a deer stand this weekend. I feel your pain but on a much smaller scale though!

Actually spent the vast majority of the day sitting across the kitchen table from my dad just chatting, sipping coffee, and watching the rain come and go, then took him out for dinner and a beverage. And while the words "wow, this day really got away from us" were said, it was anything but a waste of a day.

Now I'm sitting "finning" a batch of grumpy's (thanks to Dealer for giving me the name) that have been on the table for a month being ignored.

Sounds like a good day. I have to be in southern Illinois tomorrow night so I guess i'll have to head out in the morning.

I worked on the big truck most of the day.

Just donated these decoys to the St. Francis American Legion. They are both good swimmers. The red/white is wicked slow with a nice wide turn. Green/white is a little quicker and with the large metal tail can be tuned to swim big or small, or left straight to swim pendulum style.

American Legion posts and VFW's are falling like bowling pins lately. St Francis is holding on by the skin of their teath. They are holding a Bojia feed and silent auction next Saturday. So if anyone is in the area, there may be deal to be had. All proceeds go directly to support the legion and the community charities and scholarships they work with.

My dad runs the Horseshoe club there, so I also made and donated a diamond willow and brass picking hook as well. With some minor effort it could be converted to a gaff hook.

Good for you Neighbor Guy. That's a great cause.

[Gordie]

Getting ready to head out he door to Alexandria for the State high School shoot. My son Davey shoots for Princeton today and this should be a fun experience for him. this is the largest youth shoot in the world with 3800 registered to shoot.

[Neighbor_guy]

Now that sounds like a good time!

Good luck to your son.

[MJ1657]

Good luck to your boy Gordie.

This has been my project. Getting my new to me truck ready to roll.

[Neighbor_guy]

Nice MJ!!! The cattle guard/deer catcher-deflector makes it look mean.

[mrklean]

Gordie, how did you son do at trap??? I think this is a great sport for the kids to do, just goes to show that Kids, Guns and Schools can go together.

[Gordie]

The team as a whole took 7th over all and Jounior Varsity team is going back for the next round. My son did Ok but didn't qualify for the next round. He is shooting a summer youth league to practice for the school league next year.

There were almost 4000 kids signed up and shooting for the state qualification and it was a great experience to witness.
