Gotta make up for that Black Bottom cake I had for dessert.

These bows that Osage put me on are extremely cool, been shooting arrows into palmetto trees today.

Here's Osage's friend Ferret with one.

Oh, no, and you're out of anime too!

I'm relaxing. Speech tomorrow, and then I'm free. I'll start intensely studying on Sunday, with my first test Wednesday morning. It feels so good...

One of these boring evenings (well...guess you don't have 'em like I do!) we should do a chat view of Emperor's New Groove.

Evening All. The bow is made of ash, American flat bow style. Sam is to be commended on getting a shooter the first time and repeating the same feat thrice more. Congrats. (raising chamomile tea in salute)

That would be scary beyond all reason. Let's do it, next semester sometime!

So, I gather that they don't always work out like ya think they might?

I guess that makes sense, you don't know if you have it right until its finished... sounds agonizing, in a satisfying sort of way. :-)

It was in Leawood: Yahooz at the corner of 119th and Roe.

We had appetizers - barbecued shrimp, some quesadilla things and a soft tortilla thing with mushrooms. I had a tenderloin (it was really tender) it came with cornbread, garlic mashed potatoes, and veggies. For dessert I had the cake (chocolate with chocolate frosting filling and chocolate on top) with cappuchino with chocolate biscotti.

OK, in process of glueing another handle onto another stave!

Can't figure out whether to put nocks(?) on them for the arrows to rest on or not. They seem to shoot fine without.
I saw a pic of a guy with a thing on his wrist, wrapped around it, is that a necessity?

You're making me hungry, and I already ate. Wondering whether to make a sandwich or no.

You could say that. I've had a few "go south" as we say. Sometimes they crack, other times they literally explode (interesting experience), other times, just fold in. Repeat as often as necessary to get a shooter.

Then comes experimentation with different designs, different materials.

ps. next step, making your own arrows. Lots of materials and designs to try there. Then leatherwork for a quiver, tab and armguard and handle wrap.
