Well, the last 7 months or so have been pretty interesting to say the least. Spent time in Nevada, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and a few weeks in the wild here in Central Ca. Thought I' d get away without getting poison oak rash, but I guess the last few days out I got into it and a spot or two showed up on my ankles. Not too bad for me, but I got a heck of a rash from what I used to dry up the rash (caladryl), guess I' m alergic to something in it. Anyway, I was doing service for different people. Helping them with chores they can' t do themselves and so on. Just figured that it was time to give back for all that' s been done for me over my lifetime. Did a lot of Elk and whitetailed deer stalking and did lots of stumpin while I was at it and met a whole lot of compound shooters that thought I was nuts for shooting perfectly good arrows into old cedar stumps, lol. Home now for awhile, then I' m hoping to get to do some serious hog and blacktail hunting for a few weeks down the coast.
