Marty it was great meeting you and glad you enjoyed the food.

Thanks for asking, Paul! It went well, but like the whole rondy, was short on people! DeAnn Buser did a great job of putting the details together, and deserves a shout out! Had lots of wine, and food, and everyone I talked to that went enjoyed it. As a side note, I couldn't have wine at my table......and had game wardens right beside me, does that remind you of a previous event? lol. Spent six days down there, in liberal looney land, but survived, and didn't get attacted or protested! I took five galllon of wine, gave DeAnn one that she liked and brought most of the four back home. So to answer your question, it went well, just short of people. I was mowing till after dark last night, as they are predicting rain, and I hadn't mowed in two weeks. Almost needed to swath and bale it!

we had a great time. first time for us to do a show in kansas. i must say that those folks sure did put together a great show with plenty of friendly helpful folks. although we were in the open air building the big overhead fans did a great job, and the building was very clean and neat. although the crowd was small i had one of my best sales ever. hats off to all the FTA folks.

I had a great time it was Father's day weekend so the wife and daughter stayed at the Wolf lodge. So I spent half my day with them and half at the show. We had to leave Saturday morning to get back home for Sunday the wife's family was having a dinner for her dad. So with that said I had a great time got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. I thought the KTA did a great job putting on the convention they had a lot of hurdles to overcome and did a great job.

Thank you immensely, to everyone involved!!! FTA workers, Kansas association, demo folks, tail gaiters and vendors. Everything ran smoothly and folks all appeared to be having a great time. Much to see and do for certain. It was great to sit down and visit with old and new friends.

I ended up bailing hay also , wish I could have been there . I really hate missing one even though I’ve been to so many. Does anyone know how to get a copy of the demo’s that are recorded every year. This would have been my first opportunity to see Lee’s demo and would like to buy a copy.
Thanks,
Don

likewise, sir.

Don, I can't answer your question, but You missed ten minutes of trying to get a stake out of the arena floor! I usually don't drive a stake on demos, but thought I would this time. Of course, all I had to pull the stake was my trapping hammer! It was a hoot and wore me out for the rest of the day!

Marty, how is PJ? Hope all is going well!

Pup is doing great. He helped at work today. Just over a day here and he goes to the door/barks to be let out to go to pottie. Very smart pup. Thanks again.

Names, please.

Am I Right?

I got a lot of compliments on that Trump hat, lol, pretty much the only thing that kept all them liberal women off a me.

I was sitting right behind the picture taker, next to the puppies.....Les, I saw you walk by a few times but did not know that you were Les....

Was a good convention, hats off to Kansas Fur Harvesters! Was good to see several old friends hadn’t seen in awhile.

That’s alright Lee , I’m gonna shoot with Louie tonight. He will know or know who to call .

was this about but on edge or touch it up back side after a couple fleshings ?

I heard groenwold an FHA auction co. Wernt there, I don't think that normal, maybe at nationals, was to FHA convention in Manchester , 5 years ago

Dave, Lee explained very well how to touch up a fleshing knife, using a smooth steel to bring back the edge and also create a burr on the bottom side of the sharp edge of the knife.

He also explained using a smooth mill file and draw filing the cutting edge to remove knicks etc. from the cutting edge. Followed up with the smooth steel process.

It was a great demo, probably one of the best as far as I'm concerned.
