I know we've been working towards a goal of getting to a power wagon rally June 5-12, and can't plan ourselves out being that. 
Once we're back we'll be open to the possibility though!

Interfaith Caregivers Mentioned in Magazine Article on 'Wood Bank' Programs
Interesting, 6 page article in the current TCIA magazine on firewood assistance programs:
http://tcia.org/digital_magazine/tci-magazine/2016/06/index.html#?page=26
Denny is mentioned by name on the last page!!!
They use the term 'wood bank' and reference a map of 65 programs:

Could be of interest to A.S. members who want to participate in one of these programs, but do not live close to one of the ones in the active threads on the forum.

I spoke at length twice on the phone with the women who wrote this article-I was hoping we would of gotten a little more coverage!!
That magazine is directed towards professional arborists and tree care companies. So volunteers who are not affiliated with those types of businesses are less of a focus for their editors (and advertisers).

No kiddin. But a mention is not them many got. [emoji5] gotta admit- that kitchen cabinets to burn story has to get ya going, huh?
The burning kitchen cabinets is right up there with what Denny told me about someone they gave a chainsaw to. I had a running Wild Thing with a case I was going to sell but instead gave it to Denny to give to someone who needed it. Denny was then told of someone who was cutting their firewood with a cordless sawzall and going through battery packs and blades like water. Denny gave him the chainsaw and he couldn't have been happier with it.
Any dates coming up for this? My Sundays are mostly open starting September 18th.
Had a few groups from my church up there, they want to see the bucking stand in use.
Hopefully after Labor Day we can get back at it!
Anything on the calendar yet?
I'm getting a group from my church to go up on Nov 12.
We had 14 from the church come up to Danbury on Saturday, plus 2 locals Denny had. No deliveries this weekend, but we got a lot of wood ranked up. In the first picture, the entire first two rows were done this weekend, and in the second picture, from the trees in the center to the right of the picture, 3 1/2 rows total.
Also got the last of the "Wood Mountain" ready to be ranked up later.

This was also at Denny's but not in use Saturday. Built by some locals, this processor was mostly built from the best parts from old farm equipment and other sources and powered by a old inline 6 cyl. Has a adjustable wedge and a hydraulic-powered chainsaw. The elevator is powered by a hydraulic motor using the processor's hydraulic system. Denny said the locals that built it come over and run it weekends here and there.
BUMP
For those of you who didn't know-I had myself a heart attack on Dec 12th. Feeling much better now and with the lack of snow was wondering who could make it to Denny's in the near future? With 2 shops to run on Saturdays-Sundays work better for Chris, Dave, Todd and myself. Feb 19th is out for me-otherwise Feb is wide open. Ideas???

Sorry to hear but glad to hear you are up and about.
Let me know a date and I will try to make it (will leave the battery saws at home if they might mess your ticker!).
Hope you are feeling better.
