Mojam was a big time.
« on: July 22, 2008, 11:05:51 am »
I know this is not the right place to post this, but I wanted to personally thank Pat Brennen for his donation of a fine bow to the auction we always have. This year the funds went to help reimburse the Marshall Bowhunters for the fire losses they had this spring. The auction raised about $4,400.00. The bow went to a good home, Pat you can always come to my house and see it if you feel the need  ;D I wish I had some pictures, but I am still trying to recoup from the drive, maybe in a few days. Pat is a fine man as most of you know, Thank you Pat.

Gas prices did not hurt the event one bit!! dang oil companies. >:(

Glad to hear the club was helped out in such a way.

Dano, it was great to see you and I wish I could have said goodbye but you had wondered from camp a bit when we headed out. Looking forward to next year, maybe I will have some vacation time to stay for a couple of days.

Dano, I'm glad to hear the bow went to a good home  :-*  and I definately donated it to a good cause. MoJam is a very special event, to me and many others and has been since it began many years ago. I am glad I could finally contribute to it. Only hope I can make it there some day.  8)      Pat

   It was sure good meeting a lot of the guys I have been seeing on line. Dano and I went to the same schools and played at the same parks as kids and then moved only about 2 blocks from each other as adults but never met until mojam, I thought that was pretty cool, Dano is a real hoot!! Steve

Even with the "oppressive humidity" it was a lot of fun, and like Dano said a great fund raiser..I tried to get a sip of Dano's Lemonaide, but it might have been a little "potent" since I didn't need to get any more dehydrated..

Sean (1/2 Primitive) makes some real fine bows, especially considering his ripe young age..Great Kid!

Hopefully some photos will show up here soon..

     Pat, I kept eyeballing his lemonade but was afraid I might like it too much. It didn't seem to have much affect on Dano but that stuff makes me stupid!!!  Steve

My wife and I made the trek a few years ago. Great time. Badger, when you spoke about oppressive humidity you hit a cord. I did my Basic Training and  AIT ant Ft Leonard Wood in MO July -October. For this Northern boy it was hot and humid. When I went to Mojam all activity had to be in the morning. Despite the humidity it was nice meeting people I knew from the internet. Jawge

George, If you were    stunned with the humidity at Ft Leonardwood you would have flipped out at Ft Polk .  We lived in tents for most of basic and had 7 pipes coming out of a cement block wall for shower accommodations for 750 men.  My first night on guard duty it rained 18 inches.  No, that isn't a typo, 18 inches.  Ah, tents and humidity, it brings back such "fond" memories.

John, all my problems seem to clear up when you drove out ta gate ;D You my friend are one sneeky practical joker, I like that .

Just so's ya'll know, Saturday night after the auction, a bunch of us went back to our camp site and as I went to set down it sounded like I blew out my shorts, I said excuse me, but it happened to be one of them fart machines, and John was the only one with his hands in his pockets. It wouldn't have been so bad, but when Kieth Bishop and his lovely wife Suzie came by to say goodbye. I gave Suzie a big hug and that dang machine went off, at first Suzie was very gracious, and of course I was very embarassed, thanks again John  ::) so naturally I had to point out the dang thing just to save what littlereputation I have left, and we all had a good laugh. There will be some revenge. >:D
