Steve,

Is there any word yet on when your book will be available for purchase? We have been looking forward to it.

Rob,

That is exactly what I meant. There was a combination of situations that came together to force me to start and keep paying attention to what and how much eat. The diabetes was not really...

To whom ever wants to answer. Due to my diabetic diet I have been loosing weight and have lost about 3-4 inches from my waist and 2-3 inches from my hips. I would like any advice y'all can give me...

Would anyone here have a good suggestion for how to get reasonably priced cantles for the average DIY leather worker. Either DIY'ing it or purchasing for a reasonable price. I currently have 4...

Is anyone here planning to go the Scotland County Highland Games in Laurinburg, NC on October 6? I have never been but the wife and I are discussing it, due to friends inviting us to go.
