How many?

The majority of your bowhunting year is spent practicing and/or training. This is the place to discuss it!

Once you get back to shooting, I bet you'll find that you don't need too much practice to "get back".

To All,

Hee!... Hee!... This post has been a "Long Time Coming!"

Yes.... it will be worth it all when its done! In fact.... the reason I am sitting down and typing is because we are so close to being done.... that my wife and I actually have time to slow down!!! And as for me.... I am taking a few minutes to try to catch up on my reading and she how everybody is doing!

As far as the house.... WE ARE ALMOST DONE!!!! The plumbing is done.... the electrical is done... the sheet rock and texturing is done.... (my wife and I are painting today!) and the laminate flooring is scheduled to be installed on January 2nd!!!!

As far as other things are concerned.... I HAVE been shooting "a little". Actually.... I am now coaching an archery class (as an elective) at my daughters High School! I would love to share it with you guys if you would like! I missed hunting season all together this year.... I saw some really nice Blacktail Bucks running around... but all I have been doing is working on this house and coaching archery!

How about everyone else??? I would love to hear from ya!

Respectfully,

Donnie

Good to see you here Donnie.
We would love to here about the archery class and include pictures.
It's no fun to be too busy but it's good to be done.
Hope you can visit us more often once you get caught up with yourself.

Graps,

Oh My Goodness!.... We are so close to being done that I told my Wife (Sherrie) that to be THIS close IS my Christmas present!!!!

As you know.... a house is never finished... but instead of having 10 MAJOR projects going on at one time... we are down to about 2 major projects at one time. Today.... I just put the 2nd coat of paint on the ceiling.... and now I have to remove the Tile from the main bathroom floor... and then re-sheet the floor so that the Flooring guy can come in on the 2nd and do his thing!!!! and "Yes".... now that things are FINALLY starting to slow down... I will be visiting here a lot more!!!!

I will post a few photos TODAY of our class and give a GOOD update on the students!

Respectfully,

Donnie

Carpdaddy,

Yes Sir... I have! I just finished ripping up the bathroom tile floor and getting it all prepped for the sub floor. My wife has painted most of the interior of the house today, (I painted the ceiling... 2 coats,) and we are about to have dinner and watch "Prancer" (with Sean Elliot) I am really tired of these Marathon weekends!!!!

I figure that we have about another two weeks and this will look like a completely different house!!!!! (already does... but we will have new floors and new kitchen cabinets!) We have already decided to add a 20' X 30' shop this spring in which I will be doing ornamental iron works... and setting up an indoor archery range. (Will obviously have to go outside to get 20 and 30 yards.... but it will work.) As mentioned earlier... I have started an archery class at a Christian High School here in Western Oregon.... so I'm gonna go and find which topic to put it under and give an update! (I'm pretty excited!)

Donnie
