At my age, I'm sure I've forgotten some more things I need to do before RENDEZVOUS! :*:
OH yeah :Doh!,.... I've still got some canvas "flies" to make. :laffing

Great work, my friend.

I guess one could say that I have also been pretty busy this winter.
Since just after Christmas my major project has been shoveling snow, in fact, I'm still at it. :P

My daughter has helped, thankfully, but when she goes to work in the morning, my "shift" starts, and the pay really sucks.
I can't wait until it's time I can get over this really bad case of Cabin Fever I'm suffering from.....got it bad this time.
Right now, there is nothing I would like better than to slap some sense in that dadburn lying Groundhog.

Rondo, how about I ship you a couple rail cars full of Snowmen?
Some assembly would be required, of course.
But you could dwindle away hours on end puttin 'em all together.

Russ, I'm proud of ya pard...Not many folks would be so thoughtful...and I know that Rondo will do a great job. Maybe he'll post some pictures when he gets finished. :applaud

Russ,.... Thanks for the thought, but if you'll just send me a few pictures of your snowmen it'd sure cut down on the cost of shipping. :laffing :toast
