Hey Sam!  I just posted in your other thread.  You mentioned MoDOC - Were you at the event in Cape Girardeau?  I was there too.  It was a good time to be sure...  Though we nearly got drowned by all the rain the last day or so...

Where are you coming from to go to Marshall / MOJAM?

OneBow  I attended the workshop at the conservation center at Winona in August last year......hot, hot, hot.  Enjoyed it very much though.  Larry Lindeman filled in for A.J. but followed his syllabus.  I got home and tried to finish my bow but broke it in the tillering process.  Bought the TBB series and read and watched everything I could on-line.  Built me a shaving horse......got hooked but still haven't finished my first self bow.  I will be coming to Marshall from my hometown of Piedmont probably on Wednesday, not sure yet.  Where you coming from?

06-07 sounds about right for the "Cool" Mojam...?  :-\
I remember having a campfire in my redneck hibachi one night and we were sitting around it for the warmth. Well, that and the Mead... ;)
I should be rolling in Wednesday sometime. Good to see we are going to have some fresh faces again this year.
See ya'll soon.

Hey Sam - I'm coming from Springfield.  AJ's a good instructor.  He taught the class in Cape G.    Regrettably, I don't think he's gonna be able to make it to this year to MOJAM.  I went to a MoDOC training YEARS AND YEARS ago in Shannon County at the Alton Club/Jerry J. Presley Conservation Education Center that was taught by Mr. Jeff Strubberg.  Golly gosh but that feels like a lifetime ago now.  ...but it's where I caught the bug.  Haven't been able to shake it since!

Hey Sam, welcome to the obsession! Hope to see you there, I to am coming from the Springfield area. I will be there Thursday morning, hopefully for coffee! All of us Missouri boys should get together while we are there.   Hope everyone has a safe trip and is ready for some good me time as Sam said!

Howdy Sam!  I am originally from your neck of the woods.  I grew up between Arcadia and Fredericktown.  I was in Piedmont quite a bit when Iwas growing up.  Now I live in Warrensburg, close to KC.  Looking forward to meeting you and Patrick both at MoJAM. I will be there early Thursday morning too.

Yeah.....looking foward to that guys.  And yes, us MO Boys need to get together.  Hope we can figure out a way to do that.  Tell you what, I'll wear a name tag label that has my username (SamIAm) here on the forum.  Would that work?

I will wear my beard with a pencil in it and spend most of the time under the pavilion.  Lol

Sounds good, I haven't gotten enough cucumbers to make our bread and butter pickles yet. They are my favorite!
