First of all thank you to all of my friends who have been so supportive during my exile! I've really appreciated all the kind words.

I am back and I hope that now I can gauge my time better and keep in touch. I just uploaded 4 new carvings.

My time away from you has been productive. I have about 25 houses completed! I set a goal of 100 by the end of May! Since the size of each carving can vary greatly, 100 will be a real test of my creativity and stamina.

Checking back on DA, I've found a lot of you haven't been on site much. Hope you are all creating and enjoying the winter. Do let me know how you are.

Tonight I will be ending my time out and go back on DA and the internet! I know you have all been so lonely without me! Well I sure have missed all of you.
I will limit my time - so I'm not back in the naughty corner again soon- so look for some new deviations and comments! Please remember, I can't respond to all deviations and won't open anything in a slide show, video or one submit with 100's of deviations.
Happy Ground Hog Day!

So the saga continues, no internet until we come down in a 30 day rolling slowdown!
I have been carving - 10 more homes finished- they are small most under 14 inches tall. Will put some up soon. Thanks to all who have sent good thoughts- really appreciate it!

Winter found us, 40 below windchills last week and today 5-7 inches of snow by midnight! Guess I will finally have to plow the driveway. All of you in winter - take care no too much more and then up here we go into our 5th season - Mud Season! Driveways, roads and parking lots are all liquid until it gets warm enough for them to start driving out.

Keep warm and my best to all!

I know you all are tired of hearing me whine about the internet - but here is one more - I moved up to the highest package I can get as an individual and I am out of gas again. So it may be WEEKS before I am allowed back on! Actually they slow you down so you can't do anything but not turn it off so they can still charge you for the month!
My wife can only check at work during the week, so don't think I'm ignoring you!

We are turning off all deviations from anyone for now - and then when we can get back on from home I will start adding you all back. That way I won't have a huge DA file coming in each time the page loads. Sometimes one person or group will send me 300 DA at once! I'm just cutting everything i can think of to decrease the download.

I also will use this time to get back to big time carving. I've spent so much time doing other stuff the last 6 weeks that I really need to get back to the wood shop!

Winter hit yesterday - last night we had 25 below windchill - 20-30 mph winds and 10 below actual temp - so sitting in the wood shop with a pot of coffee and carving sounds pretty good!
Have a great weekend!
