Due to a happy congruence of events, ...I was able to make a quick trip to the TN Classic this year as well!  I even got to see Dave his soggy-shoed son, and his beautiful towheaded little daughter while I was there!!!  (It's a good thing she has two older brothers and a dad that makes weapons for fun!)

Now I'm all rev'd up to go to MOJAM this year!  Heat be danged!!!

Me too, I can't wait I have never been. But will be there with bells on. And note pad in hand. I'm working some bows now as well as some stuff to trade. Man this stuff is fun!  :laugh:

Keith don't forget to bring my chair... :)  I'm retiring July 1 and will need it!  LOL  My wife says she is coming for the first time... hoping we can get the camp together another year.  Will get there early as well to do some visiting with friends before the masses appear...

Been getting things ready for awhile now. I asked for the whole week off so hopefully I'll be there Monday when the gate opens to give you guys a hand getting things ready. Also been getting some goodies together for the auction and clout shoot.

Hey Bob, heard from Sal or John? After 35 degrees last week, we're getting a bit warmer 85 ish today. Only a couple of months now...

Looking forward to meeting the miss bob. Mine will be there again this year. My pencil holder is in full swing too. I hope say makes it with John this year. I want to show him my quiver I made from the yucca piece he gave me. It was my favorite until my oldest claimed it for himself.

Hey Dvshunter, you wouldn't have a pic of that quiver that you could pm me. Maybe some of the process would be cool. I have a bunch of yucca. Was going to make some bow strings out of it for mojam.  But my hands can't do that much cordage at one time.

I plan on bringing some Osage to trade with. Looking for lots of things, I'm new to this stuff and need several things. Pm me if you have something.  Hope to see you all there.

While I have gone back to growing out the beard, (I HATE to shave), I doubt it will catch up to pencil gripping density in time for MOJAM.  I reckon I'll just have to fashion somthing workable out of a piece of duct tape!

Good news today. My vacation was approved and I will have a good shot at being one of the first ones there this year. I'm off July 14th through the rest of the week. MOJAM here we come.

I'll try not to but no promises.
I actually got into my shop for an hour tonight. Time is flying as I'm trying to get things ready for mojam. The last two weeks always seem to disappear.  This year should be pretty big. The back cover of the Missouri conservationist had a young man whittling on a shave horse on it. Word is getting back out there it seems.
