Joe's Flies (A Small Part); "Joe! Git Wood!"

So, when Joe tell's us that he is tying flies while he is talking with the Woodrats, believe that he is!   His operating position is SURROUNDED with fly tying material.   His vise goes into position in seconds and materials are selected and placed handily within reach..


Here's some of the results. 


And... talking about getting wood.. (Joe was 14 years old before he found out that his name was not, "Git Wood".)

Teamwork Works and Here's the TEAM

Joe and Diane Sallee at their "Cabin" overlooking the valley. 

Joe's Place (Diane's too!)

Had a wonderful visit with Joe, N7HMM, Chief Woodrat First Class, and his lovely wife Diane.   They treated us like royalty.  (Fresh zuchinni bread and delicious coffee and a loaf to take home!)  Here's a one of the photos of today with the Chief at the helm.   I have a plethora of photos to share, so, this is the first installment.  (Gardening, chickens, and woodgathering to follow soon.)  Maybe even a session on fly tying!

Enjoy...
