Going to try to get there for a while. Daughter has an athletic competition for her college in Conn in the afternoon I can't miss that. I would hate to miss it completely learned a lot last year.

If I were you guys I would pay reaaaal close attention to how PNG does that Cutlass type plug. I burned through a lot of wood trying to get one just like the original. I'm still off a little, but close enough

That one has a little tighter wiggle than the original (painted one), but I could easily change that by cupping the lip some. Fun plug to mess with. Thanks to Skitter for loaning me the original. Be painting up a couple as soon as I can drill out the rest of my spring rotation

Two spots available

I have to head north to get some snow off of the hunting camp roof ... the timing sucks but we are on vacation next week and I leave Sunday so it is tomorrow or never.

I have lurked for so long and I was dying to meet the artists and match the face to the plugs.

It is all for the best as I am too fat to be allowed in anyway! Next year I will take one for the team and drop a few pounds. Have fun.
