Patrick, Dave - cue Willie Nelson's " On the road again".

Loaded the two new bow benches into the Silver Streak, now the smell of fresh cut lumber is quite pleasant (better than the normal Old Wet Dog and Old Man smells). Tools are all gathered. sorted and distributed amongst the tool bags. Still looking for the misplaced bow.

Only three more days to go....

Well I'm not the first one this year. I had to do some paddling. We are loading up tonight, gonna paddle another thirty ish miles in the morning and head out tomorrow late or Monday morning. I'm so in prepared for this it ain't funny, but we can't wait to see all of you! I'll take plenty of pics for you Michigan guys!

Bob & Paul, I can see it now, four plugs in the electric box, each one being 'held for Bob Barnes".  The lure of coffee, heat gun, tillering device and bow bench will be hard to pass up.  :)

Bob,  I can promise you will have power one way or another.  But if that Mr coffee dosent work I make a mean pot of coffee myself.

Well, based on the forecast, I'm not too sure about the "heat" gun...?  ???

Did my paddling for the day and I'm loading up. On the road tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can load up my boat and sneak a river trip in Tuesday morning...

It is pretty crazy the amount of stuff i bring to mojam. It's become a chore to decide what makes the trip and what doesn't.

See you all soon!
