Spent the last couple days canning tomatoes and hot peppers. Made 16 quarts of tomato sauce and 13 quarts of hot banana peppers.

 

And 5 pints of hot banana and serrano peppers cooked in oil.

What do you mean longevity. Roy is only twenty years old. He just looks older.

Finished up two bows... The one on the right is lefty 62" R/D using the Bingham template and the one on the right is 58" r/d using Kenny's template design. Both bows are 50@28".

The left handed bow (on the right) is all black locast -core wood veneers and riser.

Yesterday I was cleaning up a wood burner that Trapper Rob gave me for in my bow shop. Ya know what happens when a 5" wire wheel on an angle grinder catches a sharp edge and comes flying back at you? You get hurt..

Stingy!
I used to work in a fab shop Roy, we made lots of sheet metal cabinets and framework.
One of the guys was running the big 8" angle grinder to de-burr some steel. I had just walked away from his station when I heard a strange whimper/muffled scream. I turned around and Jimmy was standing there with a look of pain on his face, void of his shirt, that was wrapped up in the grinder that was still skipping across the floor, His torso looked much like your arm the next day. Looked like he took forty lashes

Heal up ole boy, hunting season is here. be careful.
