O   Thank you  Bernie for   that  tawdry bit of imagery! That pic that you referred to just may need a bit of sprucing up in Photoshop.    :readit:

Did I tell you about the bows from Pine Hollow yet? What an awesome display! Sinew backed, rawhide backed, stained, painted, straight, wiggly and flipped, each was a work of art lavishly bedecked with paint and painstaking care. The quivers, also, were crafted with pride, somewhat more quietly in their way. I was looking over the books, some of which I already had, and noticed one which I had meant to buy for way too many years. I allowed as how I would need to come back for it once I got to seriously shopping.

I was over by Ron's booth about twenty minutes later when here comes 4runr with Al Herrin's   Cherokee Bows . It was a totally unexpected and gracious gift from a generous friend. Kenny, I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I am very grateful.

I do remember when you used to post here and I hadn't realized at the time that you were one of those "gurrrllls".  It never mattered then, and it doesn't matter know.  Your opinions and thoughts are always sought out and respected.

I'm glad that you eventually felt comfortable enough to come out of Fibber McGee's Closet and sit a little closer to the fire.  You really are "one of the guys", and one of the most pleasant people to hang out with that I have ever been around.

Killy,

I of course never doubted your taste in liquid refreshments. Part of the joy of Shrewhaven over the years has been to sample different scotch, bourbon and other distilled beverages that everyone brings to camp along with some incredible cheese and sausage (in fact I just tried a new cheese called Parron that's going to come to camp next fall-wow in both taste and price-those shops that put out those little "bait" piles with toothpicks should be ticketed). Anyway, I've strayed into a nice bottle of cabernet sauvignon or chardonay at camp as well. And Tim Cosgrove from Kustom King brought a couple of batches of his homemade beer and it was outstanding.

So Killy, I guess we're just kindred in spirit(s) and enjoy whatever is appropriate for the occasion. Your posts have always been a joy to read and your words well thought out.

 I did have to laugh at the mental picture of Ron in a hot tub with brandy.  It reminds me of the picture we have somewhere of Ron in his birthday suit flailing in the Armstrong Creek in August the year we started remodeling the cabin.  It was a scorching hot day and we were all working our tails off on putting a metal roof on the cabin (Ron was the ground "go-fer" and latrine hole digger that day) and by late afternoon we had all lost 3 lbs of water weight. Ron was first to jump in and of course our eyes have never been the same since.    :bigsmyl:

Lost your cognac again, too. I see you finally found it!

For no other reason than just me appreciating you being a friend, Kathy. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh Killy, you'd want to take that salmon away from that bear before you took a glass of cognac from Ron.   :readit:    :eek:    ;)

I think we're getting off topic..    :readit:  

I've been to all 17 of the Expo's and this last one is at the top of the list. The new building was fantastic, much roomer, we never seemed crowded as in past shows, plus the lighting was like being outdoors on a sunny day.

The people of coarse are the highlight of this event and at the top of that list, for me at least was finely getting to met face to face our own Killdeer...the quickest wit in town..    :D

Killdeer
This wasn't directed towards you Killie, it was just an observation I had and voiced.  I wore a name tag for our organization (Michigan Longbow Association) and guys would come up and introduce themselves.  It was just hard to connect Gorilla Stomper 3000 with a name or post.  That is just an example, not a real name, but I think you get what I'm saying.  

Killie, you will always be known as Killie to me.

Boy, Ron had a lot more hair back when they took that video - and yet ... a shorter beard. Heck of a fisherman though.

I agree. shoots/rendezvous are always about the folks, along with good times and good trad gear, (plus the pictorial reports, and retorts, afterwards - LOL.)

What matters is that when one speaks... they speak from a solid foundation of knowledge.  Killy does just that.  Well, mostly (and a good dose of humor).  

Killy, you've earned these kudos.

Does Clark know how many boy friends she has on here? For myself, I have never met a lady that knew how to handle a canoe paddle or a trad bow that I didn't like.
