Dave - the MR 340, wow, that's a serious undertaking (no pun intended). I've watched the beginning of it a couple times, whew, this old Ozark float guy has no business out there with the professionals.

Do you use a canoe or kayak?

Wishing you the best of luck and stay safe, the Mighty MO is not to be underestimated.

Hey Bob, will check it out as soon as I get there. I can bring an extension cord. Will be cleaning out the 'Silver Streak' no telling what I'll find in there. Maybe the tools I misplaced from the last MoJAM or two.

I will be there in 2 weeks and about 1 hour...  :OK  I have lots of cords, but I sure need access to that pole...  :) 

Dave can do it... but the apple pie will have to be at the finish line... not in the canoe...  ;D

Today I will get started on some kids arrows for the auction...

I'm up next to Marshall this week doing some work.  I was just outside and I gotta tell you guys, despite the little bit of rain, if we have weather this nice for MOJAM, the evenings at the bow pavilion are going to be AWESOME!!!  It's 72 degrees out there right now!

My Darling wife is putting the new camping gear into the camping trailer this week while I'm out on the road working.  It's awesome to have good help like her!!!  My son Wil is planning to be at the camp early, but has to leave by Wednesday for some summer project or other of his.  Really looking forward to making it a great MOJAM year!

I spoke with the plant manager at the Hiland Dairy in Springfield about getting clean empty milk jugs for the jug shoot and he is getting some made up for me.  I bought the hardware to make the pulley system and poles but have not yet assembled or tested out the device.  So far the plans are all just in my head.  I heard that a club member in Marshall has gotten us a piece of carpet for the back drop/arrow stop.  I need to know the size of it, so I can make sure the frame is designed correctly.  Does anybody know how big the carpet that was donated is?

Also, does anyone that is coming happen to have a drone copter that is setup to do photography?  If so, it might be cool to get some pix that way...

Thats great Eric! Now,  if we can just figure out how to make these darn mosquito's go away! I looked at the weather for mojam,  looks like it may not be as terribly hot this year compared to others.  And the night time temps in the low 70 to upper 60.

So im trying to get in my head what to bring for kthe bow shop this year.  Does anyone have a flemish string jig they can bring? I will have my tillering tree,  my R/D caul, C-clamps, heat gun,  fan,  and maybe my shave horse if I have room.

OneBow,
 One piece of carpet is 10x12. He dropped two pieces, not sure of second size. I will make a frame to hold the back stop. How big do you need it?
   Thanks

Is plastic gallon milk/water jug availability in hand?
Someone had access to lots of 'em . . . but just wanna make sure.

Mike, Eric says he is working on it but I am not sure if they are in hand yet or not.
