These are the same splicing machines that run on cookie crisp cereal. The bigger one added pizza fuel. Heck, 9 years old eats more than I do! Soon they will be sneaking off with my tabs and getting my bows dirty. !["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")

They have captured the true essence of our sport.
We are looking at the future of our sport. My congratulations to you for sharing with your children.
My congratulations to them for the fine artistry in their work. They take pride in their work, and it shows. Rightly so.

Wow, they grow fast!! Weeds don't come close.
You can hardly see lil' Ali's legs in this old photo of our sheep hunt.

They are doing really well at fly tying. But that was their Dad's prior biz. Will used to sit on my lap when I filled orders.
She is getting a PINK bow this spring. Everthing PINK. She is going to give Fred Eichler a run for his money.
