I now have an additional guy that is planning on coming, so I'm up to OneBow plus 5 or 6.  A week from now I plan to be nigh about ready to get some fresh shavings to start falling on your shop floor!  It looks like Springfield will be bringing 2 large truck loads up there now. :)

Yeah me to Eric! Im ready for the shavings to fly!  Im pretty sure I have a guy coming with me as well, some of you have met Devon. Might need another spot for him to sleep. This time next week I plan to be sitting in front of my vise!

<snip>...some of you have met Devon.

DVS - You might remember Devon.  If you have any bows you're needing tested, bring 'em over to Chris's place Friday.  We'll get Devon to check them out for ya.  I hear Chris already has a couple he's gonna get Patrick to check out.  I'm pretty sure PaulnKS is wishing he could be here too so Partrick could give his latest a quick pull or two as well.  I don't think SwampMonkey is gonna make it, or I'd have my boy Wil bring one of his in process bows to have AJ pull on a little bit. 

...and if those fellas can't get the job done up for you, Ole Mike Hill and I have managed to achieve our Master of Disaster ratings on our own stuff several times over.

Isn't it amazing how many bows we can break for each other and still get along with only limited blood shed?

This is gettin' to be Super Gathering! Hope the IL and KS contingents are well represented.

Today, I finished tillering on one. Guess gonna be starting afresh!

Pat I am sure we will figure something out. The airstream will be set up, the pop-up will be set up, Hill has cots, I have cots, we will have heat in the shop with a FUNCTUNIAL BATHROOM. I am not sure about sleeping arrangements in the house as my son has buddies spending the weekend also. Just tell Devon to bring a sleeping bag/bedroll and a pillow and he will have someplace to sleep.

Funny one Eric, and don't forget that bow of Patrick's that I broke at Ojam last year...   :o  :-[
Oh, and the one he talked me into drawing back at Mojam that made a distinct TIC though it didn't break.

Yep, wish I could join you guys.  :(
Glad to see that Wyatt and Andy are going to make it, have fun and play nice with the boys from Kansas.  :)

That sounds like a great idea DBar! Would love to see you make the drive! See if you can drag that little Clint fella with you to.

That sucks,  they always remind you of those things at the wrong time. Hope to see you next time around.
