Cool to see all these bows being shipped around!
Marc- very happy it made it to you in one piece. I always worry about tip overlays and recurves.
         There was a small note in there too,  easy to miss.

It wasn't missed Ryan, thanks again.  You should probably upgrade the cardboard ends on the tube with something a bit sturdier though

A lot of happiness in the mail this week!  Nice works fellas!  I haven't seen one yet that didn't make me go "Oh! Oh! Me!  Send that to me!" .  Josh

Finally got a hold of James Parker.
With his recent hand injury he's been really busy trying to get caught up.
He's back to teaching tap dancing, and has started a door knob shining company. He says business is really good, this may be the last bow he builds.

Sounds like something James would say.

Sure does.  You never know what he is going to say. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Yes it does!  He's ever the wise guy!  Lol! I am looking forward to seeing what he offers off.  You know it'll be good...especially for a tap dancing door knob polisher.  Josh

Ooh, I can't stand it.  Checked the PO Box this morning on the way to work.  In the box was a little yellow card saying that I had a package (too big for box).  The window doesn't open that early so I have to wait until lunch hour to return and see what it might be.

That's a kiiler, Matt!

This next week is going to be epic with some of the bows coming out
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

I'll bet James will make a good living polishing knobs. :)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  I guess it just depends on whose knob you are polishing >:D

So I went to the Post Office at lunch.  Behind the counter there is a long slender box with my PO Box number on it.  The clerk who is no stranger to me sending long, slender boxes, knows exactly what it is.  I had to sign for it, which seemed unusual.  Then I noticed that it was sent from Canada.  The sender:  Marc St Louis. 

Now back at work in my office I contemplate, do I open it now or wait until I get home?
