Picked up a used drum sander, router, spindle sander and tons of clamps off of CL yesterday. Also got most of the materials for my bow oven piled up and ready for when I have enough free time to build.

Hit the gym for strength training for both bows and general physical fitness.  Some stuff I did very easily and some was very, very hard due to deformities and the chair.  Still feels rewarding.

I even made it ten whole minutes on the treadmill.

Joe - I really like those.  Rarely do you see a glass r/d with a straight grip.  I like straight grips the best and those are really unique looking.

today I walked and scouted the hunt club I joined between Gainesville and Cedar Key Florida. It is  really thick and mostly pines.palmettos and gall berry with plenty of cypress heads, It can get pretty wet and floods at times. I found this area of oaks between some large wetlands, I took the picture from a 16 ft ladder stand. I should have a few deer and hogs feeding here when the acorns start dropping.   I got home around 5 and glued all the overlays onto a set of ILF limbs I am building for Helen.
