Wow what great saddles. Get back to it. I am sure there is a market for them.

The bottom one, reminds me of what some call a Plantation saddle.

[Major 2]

The bottom one is a copy of the 1847 Dragoon saddle I think I made 3 or 4
one  I rode ,   sold 2  (the 1st. one & the 3rd )
I made 2 Hopes ...I have a photo somewhere of them ...sold both ,but did ride both
McClellan's I was most prolific, lost count but probably 20 +

Sadly, these days , the labor and materials there'd be little profit to set up again 
besides arthritis in my hands would flair up slowing the whole affair....

Greetings all.

Rainy and 45 today. Fall has beset us.

I went fishing last night, except I forgot my tackle box, so I put a shiny gum wrapper on a hook I found by the river and used that until it got snagged and broke off.  Then I went for a hike and saw an elk cow.

Major, I know that the guy we bought this horse from makes saddles on the side, and he says the arthritis is a bit tough. He also priced his at $8k

Looks like my life may get shaken up a bit here soon: more to come on that.

When we found out retiring or not had about the same income, actually a little better on retiring it was no having to think about it.   In fact Rita was at SS office checking the details and I was down the street parked so I could let here off and pick her up at the door.   She called, said I was getting a phone call when she hung up, answer the questions you are retiring.   Was between jobs and no one wanted me so I didn't argue.   

Things are turning around quick now on the health, ready to start getting the workshop ready starting next week, hour or two a day.   Despite the problems I got a lot done this year, got some excellent files docs on cooking with pictures part of editing my book which I haven't forgotten, planned on getting certain pictures this year.    Got some people think some of that ought to be put in pamphlet form to sell, might be a good idea, winter projects.

Besides, retiring would make it easier for you to make it to a Muster.      I think you would be hooked, we never have too many old fat guys.

I resemble that remark !   OFG  sorta sounds like English Heraldry   

Besides a camera adds 10 Lbs....  just how many cameras tend to show up ?

That's why I tell people that if they don't know what they are doing don't F### with it.

Overcast day again today.

Made biscuits and bacon this morning. Now got Patton on- while my boss lady is at Walmart. She reported in a few minutes ago. They are no longer requiring mask of the directional patterns in the  isles.

Is that company wide? I haven't shopped there since they started requiring masks. As for the direction arrows, I just ignored them, but on particularly ornery days I made it a point to shop "against the arrows"

[Major 2]

I've seen the arrows in the grocery store, never saw the first "indigenous person" of color 

The "wheel house of interest" was a nice Romanian Mil-spec AK-47  my running pard had been looking for.
He bought it....US made  enhanced trigger , chrome line barrel , all wood furniture .

Morning all.

45 and raining here. May go drown some worms later, but that depends on if I get called in to work today or not. I'm hoping not.  They made me move 30 car batteries yesterday and I saw more on the pallet when I left. 

I may try to make a migration to a toy store as well today. I'm thinking of trading my M70 featherweight in to snag something in a cheaper caliber to shoot. The 280 is a great caliber, but at $1.70 a pop, it's stretching my wallet a bit thin. Cabela's had a nice early model Ruger M77 in '06 a while back, and a few other items of interest.

It was at sore we use - not sure about others- they removed the cattle chute also.
