They just tossed it up there. I wasn't there but I would guess there were 4 or 5 men on that hunt. Bear hunting is a group event where each man brings his best dogs, there are bragging rights and such at stake. I'm sure they were from different states also, Josh hunts in many states from Louisiana to the Carolinas and they are all just friends.
It's also a family event, the family's often go along, Whitley is four and loves Bear hunting, you just live different here.

Thanks I just wondered. That's a lot more than a Michigan whitetail weighs. That is pretty cool getting the whole family and friends and familys involved.

It's a lot different than whitetail hunting, I used to hunt in Antigo Wisconsin, that's all about stealth and being quiet, when Bear hunting the first thing you do is let the dogs out! It gets loud quick!

I checked out the doors and drawers and they needed a third coat so I painted again, worst paint ever or worst painter ever, I'm not sure.
Going to Southeastern Salvage in a few minutes to get the counter top.
I had a blowout this morning.
I cut me a couple of toe boards.
Insert, remember TGIF,
Some Gorilla glue and 24 hours, be good as new!
I did run my Drexel tool around inside to clean the surfaces.
I will be glad to get this porch job finished, there is too much wait time between coats and I do silly stuff like this while I wait!

Jim, I'm glad t see that you read that article I wrote about shoe repair. "Cobblers, we don't need no stinking cobblers"

If you ever see a tube of this stuff, grab it.
It's like silicone on steroids.
Besides shoe repairs, it's a great adhesive.

I won it at a car show this summer, RF was my hero when I was young, heck! He still is.
Mack, we don't need no stinkin cobblers. Lol.
Terry, I will find some of that, the Gorilla glue only lasted about two months last time.
Shorty, I got a pair but they had a blow out last year and I haven't fixed them yet, I gotta get busy!
I made it to Southeastern Salvage and got the counter top, we have cut it to fit and cut a backslash and toe kick also. Hoping to have it finished tomorrow.

Thanks Mr.Zippy, the wood is acacia, it's a nice wood to work with!
I bought another 8' counter top and ripped the back splash and toe kicks from it, I have to have a back splash or it isn't right to me.

Bob, thanks, it is pretty. I'm going to wait until after Thanksgiving to seal it so we won't have to deal with the smell.

I put the hardware on today and did my paint touch up. I haven't decided if I am going to trim the blinds tomorrow or wait until after Thanksgiving! I need to mulch leaves and clean the yard up.

Got to play in the shop a little yesterday.
I need a new welding roller, I have these flange bearings.
I cut the cages and rubber isolators off.
I cut two pieces of ½" conduit 24" and welded them to two pieces of angle iron 4½" long.
The bearings will slide on the conduit to adjust the length and the tank will roll very easily, works great for tig welding.
