Re: Going Out of Business

Wayne, that's awesome. I deal with a couple of small companies who still send a hand-written 'Thank You', with every order; makes me want to support them even more. As for Cabela's... not so much.

Re: Going Out of Business

I checked his site a few months ago and he was out of the #2 size 14 hooks that I use the most. He was out of most sizes. Well, I just put a other order in for 1200 #2 size 14 hooks. I should be set for quite a while.

Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL

Got mine yesterday, haven't started reading it. Will take it with me up to the cabin tomorrow. Supposed to rain for a couple of days, that will give me some time to read it.

Re: Prairie Chicken Skin

That is a beautiful skin! But, I gotta put the brakes on my spending for a while. Had too many unexpected bills come up recently. I will probably be sorry later when they are all gone, but unfortunately gotta say no. Thanks for the heads up Ray.
