in reply to: Stone Arrowheads #41005
NEVER found an arrowhead, really don’t expect to,
I’ve been looking for sheds tho, and feel just as frustrated.
All I’m finding is tracks and poop. Lots and lots of poop.

No spring peepers here. In fact, I had to look that up to see what you were talking about. I thought “peepers” were tourists who go to New England to see the fall colors. I guess those would be fall peepers. 😉
NO! NO! NO! In the fall the flatlanders come north to look at the leaves, and they are called LEAF peepers. Spring peepers are tiny frogs in swamps that make a lot of noise in the spring. Leaf peepers are big people in cars that look at the trees, and drive real s l o w, get lost, and try to turn around on dirt roads.
We had our first backyard campfire last night. Wet and smokey, but we really did have FLAMES.
I think the sap is still running in the maples, has been a really good season.
More geese flying over from the marsh.
Audrey saw a robin in the back yard, at least she’s not going over to the graveyard to see robins.
Audrey has a technical question. She put two arrows into the bullseye, and they were touching, like in the same hole. Is that a Robin Hood (Byron says if it was out of the bulls eye, it would be a mistake)? You really can’t SPLIT an arrow with field points.
I’m thinking the two girls need to work more. Or I should work less. Seems like while I’m working they are out practicing all day. Big fear that they are going to be more accurate than I am.
And with all the cold last winter we are having a record pothole season.
in reply to: Ausjim sitrep #40967Thanks for the update, Mike.
We should be planning something good for him, when he gets back.
in reply to: Another knife sharpening trick – Video #40964Nope, driver’s door for a bug, red.
in reply to: Signs of Spring #38573Was out on the porch burning feathers (fletches) for arrows (while the girls got gussied up for church), and a flock of GEESE flew over. Tried to count, but lost it, as there were so many, moving so fast. They must have rested in the marsh, as it is flooded. Looks like a lake but only 3′ deep.
Audrey saw Mamma Skunk the other night poking around the back steps. I asked if Mamma was pregnant, but Audrey didn’t comment.
Still hear the wind chimes in the kitchen, and wind whistling in the living room (as we have all winter). Hear both in the bedroom, which makes us feel good to be warm, and cozy when it is so cold outside.
Audrey saw robins (finally) at the cemetery this morning (lots of them) while leaving flowers.
We also found the fire pit (actually it is a truck wheel rim) sticking out of the big snow bank.
Audrey and I are shooting arrows daily now….
In my weekly “walk in the woods” I went thru the ice (Audrey just made a comment about walking on water) and got a boot full of water. I thought about building a fire to dry off, but since I was only a mile out and everything is sooooo wet, I went home so I could empty the boot on the kitchen floor, and put dry clothes on then go back. Didn’t see anything alive, just lots of tracks, and enough deer droppings to cover the garden about a foot deep. If I could get my trailer in there I wouldn’t have to go to the stable for horse manure.
Robins, geese… Now we need to hear the spring peepers…
Audrey just asked: “Do they have them everywhere?”
I responded: I don’t think R2 has them in the desert, but we can ask?
in reply to: Outdoor Backstops #38538Everyone that has been paying attention knows that Fred is the mouse. Momma Skunk is the skunk, who was here last year with her 4 kids, and Audrey saw last night on the back steps. Bob is someone’s possum. The SOB is R2’s coon.
We have a rag bag target we got from 3Rivers, made by third hand archery. 30″ x 36″ You can hit that Doc, we have faith in you.
in reply to: Tired of haybales? #38530What happens when the arrow hits the tire? Bounce off? penetrate? I have a friend with a junkyard.

Tell Audrey (???) that you can’t walk with both feet on the ground…one leaves the ground to move forward a step! Ha!8):D Then the other in succession!
Audrey said: Wiseacre!!!!!
Fred is the mouse, pay attention.

Works good for emergencies though!
Back in the ’70s, I had a friend who had a VW door in his living room. Was afraid to ask why (John never finished explaining anything), thought it was some kind of art thing??? Perhaps he knew way back then??
in reply to: Where is your anchor? #38502YUP, both on the ground there 😀
Audrey says: You couldn’t walk if they were not both on the ground.

Good thing I was out doing yard work today…after that rain last night, I needed to get OUT!
Trying to figure out where to hide my own Easter Eggs so I can find them before the skunks do…:shock:
Fred got into the chocolate in Arwen’s Easter basket. Ate enough to make him good and sick!! 😈
in reply to: Another knife sharpening trick – Video #37953Does it have to be a pick-up? Nice tread on that spare tire.
in reply to: Noteable Quotes! #37949Good one Bruce. If you practice enough the auto pilot gets loaded correctly, and there is no thought. The conscious thought is “Arrow There” then the auto pilot should take over. Malcolm Goodwell says that when athletes “clutch” they are thinking about what they are doing, rather than letting it happen.
in reply to: What ya got goin? #37939YUP,Audrey has the same concept of “archery season” I went stumping yesterday, and only lost 1 arrow!!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!
in reply to: Anyone Experimented with EAOC? #34798I want to know how long you have been planning this? I can understand if it was the result of cabin fever. But anyone that spends usable time working up a April Fools joke should be applauded.
