I suppose I should take this up to the dog run but, here is where it started so here it is.
I am in the process of trying to build a precision milling table for my KMG clone. It is still very hot and humid here so got up this morning and finished up some welding and painting on that project. By the time I got finished it gave me time to take a shower and run to town for some grocery items. Sit down to eat lunch and watch the NASCAR race and it starts to rain here. So the satellite is blocked by the rain and now I can't see the race. Fell asleep and woke up just in time for round two of the rain. I walked to the front door and made the comment to the wife about how hard it was raining.
In case you haven't heard USPS Priority Mail now runs on Sunday. Somewhere between the two showers a USPS Priority Mail package had been delivered. They barely had placed it on the porch and now it is getting rained on. If they had put it by the door it would have been fine, had they knocked or rang the bell, it would be fine. I jumped out in the rain and grabbed up the package with the lighting popping all around!
Luckily the package had just begun to get wet at that point. To my surprise it is a package from my good buddy Larry Franklin. In it is not only the piece of Elk he promised to send me but, also some more Elk, and what appears to be a whitetail antler and a couple of slabs of stabilized wood. :what!: Also their was one of his cards. (Note to self you might want to do a card like Larry's)
Larry, thank you from the bottom of my heart. That was an awesome thing to do. You can't beat the folks on this site for good people!!!! Oh by the way I have it on my bucket list to take an Elk with a set like that one had to be! I want to take one with my ole primitive muzzle loader, if the eyes will just hold out that long. That had to be a big .............one, by the size of that mainbeam! Although that one may be hard to do as their ain't many Elk in NW Florida!:biggrin:
