Anyone hear from Wendell yet? Doesn't look like he's been on since Friday night. Hope he's just off enjoying the weekend.

All finished with the pictures. Waiting for the next cutting event. And again, a big thank you to all involved.
 
WoW! Some nice hard work there! Great work everyone!

I do wish I could have been there! Will try to make other events.

Grandpatractor....thanks for the labor-saver skidsteer! How's your wife doing?
 
I dont think they have WiFi in Iowa yet!:laugh::laugh:

I'm sure they do but definitely not at my parents. :msp_tongue:

882 miles and countless cups of coffee and I have returned! :rock:

Getting started on Saturday. Unfortunately, I didn't know there was a second pile of logs when I was making the video (of course that was probably a good thing!).

Well, I decided I would be a little productive this afternoon so I drove to the office to get my saws out of my wife's car and bring them home to get them all cleaned up. Seems that I didn't quite get the tailgate latched so on the 3/4 mile drive back to my house, the tailgate opened and I am now no longer the proud owner of a 346 or a 395. I was back over my path within 3 minutes and they were already gone.

I already have an ad up on CL so hopefully a good Samaritan found them. Man, I am bummed.

What a terrible way to end a great weekend-Hopefully someone will return them:cry:
 
What an incredible day! You guys never cease to amaze us. Interfaith Caregivers cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us. It is because of you gentlemen that our program is so successful and continuing to grow. Several "tours" of the worksite were given on Sunday and Monday to people who didn't want to stop on Saturday and disturb the effort. I just love talking about the Arborists and your unbelievable efforts. I will never ever again suggest a task is insurmountable!!!

The efforts you put in, the distances you travel, the good natured fun, all makes for great memories.

Thank you all again for everything you have done for our group. Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County salutes you!!!!!!!
