Heck, Steve, I didn't have that money to spend. And yet... would have been a fool not to.
Thanks for those links! Hope you're well.

Hi Becky,

And its a PDF so you can't even cook it and eat it.:no: But I suppose you could burn it:U

I'm well, thanks. How about you? Keeping busy I hope.

This is a bit off topic, but here:
Rescue of a Great Horned Owl (http://www.halifaxfieldnaturalists.ca/posts/2010/Owl/index.html)

is yours truly in action.

Yeah, I kinda hate that -- will have to print it out (only, what... ten or twelve printer cartridges?) for use. No Kinko's near here, damn it. ;-)

Lovely link to the Great Horned. What a magnificent bird! And I love a happy ending.:D
Thanks for that!

His blog is a very interesting read. I've book marked it for future reference - alot to take in!

[yojimbo]

Exactly what I did, Rattrap -- pretty intensive reading. Although he said in an e-mail to me (quite a personable guy) that eventually he hopes to have all the essentials in future volumes. Hope he finds a sufficient market for it to be worth his doing that: I know we'll all be waiting impatiently by our in-boxes.

And it certainly would be nice if he came out with bound editions in the future -- the PDFs are fine on the computer, but mighty expensive to print out.

I'm not sufficiently into Japanese joinery to buy his PDF publication, but an impressive blog site which I have also bookmarked. Respect his approach to things so will be back from time to time to see what's he is thinking about.

Thanks for the link, Steve.
