Good lord man ! Wow that's a lot of stuff.
 Didn't even have to pack the tent. Love it.
 For future reference, what RDV was this

Sorry, it was the Paul Bunyan Plainsman's 50th annual in Puyallup WA,

From what I could see at the Wild Horse RDV in Cyr, MT, I was probably the only old phart that was selling of any of our stuff.  Happy to say, I did liberate my old set of buckskins.  The do-re-me fit into my wallet much better than the skins ever could.  Hope I can sell my Dyers at the CdA RDV.
As poorly as I shot, I ought to sell my rifle as well.

You can keep the dyers but I'll give you 25 bux for that crappy shooting iron!

What else can I add to the pile to make it worthwhile to you?

OK I'll take the dyers also!

I spent Friday after work getting our upstairs plumbing flowing along again (yay) Saturday morning we got in the quick range trip, then took the kids swimming at the sand pits.. Then Sunday we had church and then helped our friends (adopted family) clear what we could out of the basement of their burnt home so that the excavator can begin demolition and get rebuilding underway..  I really wanted to go fishin tonight, but it's looking like rain after work and the next few days as well. Maybe the crappie and perch can wait another few days

[Winter Hawk]

Whoa, that's one heavy duty snake!  Got 'er done, anyway.  And you have souvenirs to show for it.

Getting ready to head over to the coeur d'Alene rendezvous tomorrow.  Will find a good spot to put up the tin tipi and relax a bit before the festivities start on Friday.
Looking forward to meeting Kevin and 2nd Rate Sh ooter.
And of course, all the old members of the group and meeting some of the new ones.
I worked on the misbehaving rifle a bit yesterday and I hope I have the problem solved.  Time will tell.

Just a quick update, been busy building a couple 3 new bags, 2 custom orders and 2 rum canteens that were ordered from the same folks, tending the garden , grandsons t ball games, and starting to get trailer packed up for our trip next week to Tillamook Oregon, going to spend a couple 4 days kicking around the northern Oregon coast, then back here to finish up the orders to be delivered at the PLR rondy at the end of July.

Finally getting some shop time, so I've been working on powder horns and measures. 

Made a new measure for myself last night, a copy of one previously used by a local market hunter 150 years ago.  I've never had the chance to see it in hand--only through the museum glass--but I've always sorta liked it.  I seem to have mis-estimated dimensions: the finished measure holds about 150 grains/~2 ounces of shot. 

Back to the shop. . . .

I guess I'll be finding a new career. Walked into work yesterday and they said 75% of your craft is no longer needed..no options no craft transfer..so 13+ years and I'm kicking rocks. Was a weird feeling waking up today and not heading to work. Send up a little  prayer if ya will. New territory for me esp with 3 littles at home.

[KDubs]

 Wow I imagine that was a shocker.
Sorry to hear that friend.
 What was or is your trade if you don't mind me asking.
 Hopefully you'll find a better opportunity.

I've been a sheet metal worker journeyman (actually a pipefitter/Diesel mechanic) for BNSF railroad. Corporate greed, evil stockholders and a crappy economy.. they're stripping the company to bones for profit.

[No Powder]

Sounds like you're a talented individual, so I don't think employment will be a problem for you. Irregardless, a prayer is going upward . Good Luck buddy.
