Charity Cut for Interfaith Caregivers-Who is up for the task at hand?

[Steve NW WI]

Sarah, good to meet ya today. I was beginning to think Andy had multiple personality disorder :hmm3grin2orange: Might as well get your own handle as often as you're on here lately.

Anyone get more pics of that two way splitter that wore me out today?

Such a blast with great people and wonderful weather. Got to drop about 20 oak trees, do some bucking, run the 090G a few times, watch Joel be entertained by Beefie and I taking out three trees simultaneously that were all snagged up together, and looked on as a bunch of teens worked hard all day long splitting, carrying and tossing. That was all way cool.

But you know, the saw that impressed me most was that little Jred 2153C. Exact same saw we have at the family lake cabin, but Tree Monkey did something to this lil one that was downright mystical. Light as a feather compared with the larger saws, but very angry at the wood!

When can we do the next charity cutting? WHEN???

I shoulda latched onto that little guy for a couple cuts...next time.

Speaking of when, I'm pretty sure Denny would be OK with it any time you can make it down. I'm game...EXCEPT for after 3 next Sunday. Like the mirror covers on the Dodge BTW!

Well After A fun weekend we made the 5 hour trip back safe and sound. The saws got unloaded and Ernie was back to his house. I am going to bed and will post more pics later in the week.

Thanks everyone for a great weekend and was nice to meet some more of you AS ers.

Made it back ok. Topped off the gas on the truck tonight and got better gas mileage bringing back a load of wood than coming up empty. :msp_w00t: Anyways a thak you to every one who helped put this together and all those who came to work. It was also good to see a new members along with a few I haven't seen in a while. Also enjoyed the food as well, never have to worry about going away hungry from one of these events. I did take some pictures, will try to start posting them tomorrow, got to go to bed to wake up at 4 am for work.

But again a big thank you to every one helped out this weekend.

 

[Philbert]

Thank you Denny, J.D., and others who organized and coordinated this event, the food, etc.

I will sort through the photos I took and see if I can post some that others have not (seems like we took a lot of the same pictures!). Somebody please PhotoShop me into the group photo as I had to leave early.

Thank you all

Hi everyone, Barb here

What a day yesterday was! There were so many people that I did not even get to meet everyone. You guys ( and girls) are great. I don't know where to start. Sarah, I found your bowls and will get them to you somehow. The chili was terrific. I had to try just a little before it went outside because once it did I knew it would be gone in a minute. otstir: Laure and Connie are terrific for all they did and Wendy almost pushed someone over to get me a caramel roll.

JD, be sure they know how much we appreciate them and the fact that they gave up their day to be here. I have never seen kids work so hard.

I know some of you had a long drive home and after a turkey dinner I prayed you would make it safe. Denny felt he was not doing enough because he did not have a chain saw in his hand all of the time. Well, someone had to shuffle food back and forth.

You will never know how much we are happy all the new guys made it. The old guys, I mean, regulars were as terrific as ever.

Denny and I can't say "Thank You", it is not enough. There are really not words for all you did for Interfaith. People drove buy and called to be sure we knew there were people standing around the sign and we just had to get a picture. :camera: They could not even see those of you who were out in the woods, working you butts off.

Oh, just a foot note. The fire at Rose's is still smoldering. The wind has really picked up and I called to tell her to watch it.

Denny's at work, but he will right soon and from both of us, Thank all of you. You are all terrific. Denny would never say this, but we love you all for what you give to those who will not have wood to heat their homes :yourock:.
