Alone: The Classic Polar Adventure By Richard Byrd
- A great book by Admiral Byrd and his lonely stay in the Antarctic. It makes 5 degrees Fahrenheit sound warm.

For about two or three years I have wanted to make a bow but was not sure that I could. I didn’t know how to do it or what was needed. A couple of months ago, after some research on the Internet and reading a few books from the library on the subject I decided to try making one. I made the bow out of a hickory board, being a good, durable wood for the task and something I could buy locally. This is the finished product along with an arrow I made. It pulls 50# @ 29″, is 66″ nock to nock and has about 2 1/2″ of set. I twisted a string from dracon B-50 (bow string material) and stitched a piece of leather around the handle.
There are a couple more photos here.

How often do you get free rides to the tops of the trees? My brothers, sister and I got a free ride up towards the skies today at the courtesy of the “lumberjacks” that were cutting down some of our neighbor’s trees. Here are some pictures of the ride. More pictures here.
