I'm kinda on the fence on this one. Any chance there will be ginger snap cookies?

Of course there will be Gingersnap cookies!! See you there

Planning on it, but ETA 8-9. Save me a good spot for the Bantam splitter.

Boyd and I delivered the new conveyor this evening-right before another big rain. Breakfast in Siren at 7am and off to the worksite. Have good boots and some bug spray-it's going to be that kind of day!

Looks like a great day to work the woodpile! Off to breakfast!

Wow. What a day. I believe there were 34 people and it's estimated that we cut about 2 semi loads worth of logs for approximately 20 cord. Thanks to all AS and Non-AS members that chipped in! This goes a long way towards the start of next year's deliveries!

 

[WetGunPowder]

Thanks for posting Gingrsnap. I think we set a record for the amount we got done in one day! 5rINC was running nonstop with the skidddy trying to keep everyone supplied with logs.

For those of you who have helped this charity-you may have in the past been to Terry and Connie Bowar's home foe dinner after a hard days work. Terry is battling cancer again and needs our help cutting up his load of logs for boiler wood this winter. Plans are to do this on Oct 6th starting at 8am at his house just down the road from Denny's. Cutting it long and not much splitting should make this a pretty quick job-then over to Denny's time permitting to process some of the random piles in the woodyard.

Looks like Sunday is a go-complete with gingersnap cookies!

 

[dieselfitter]

I'm not gonna miss an opportunity to have some of them cookies. I'm in!

Thanks to all who contributed to yesterdays effort. Especially 5RINC for his skidsteer and operating expertise! Terry's wood was processed in a little over 2 hours-plus the crew took down and cleaned up 6 standing oaks in his yard. All but a pile of large rounds were cleaned up at Denny's. The yard should be in good shape for winter. We are planning to "work the woodpile" again on SATURDAY Oct 19th and again in early November. Two more good days should put Denny in good shape for 2020 if Mother Nature rears her ugly head early. Grizz was the cameraman yesterday-hopefully pics to follow.

Thanks again!

Pictures from yesterday (didn't get very many) and all were taken at Denny's.

Thanks for posting Grizz. The last photo shows the wood that still needs to be delivered and the start of next year's supply.

And some dork trying to put a splitter away!!!

Looks like our roller coaster ride of weather will put us on top of the hill for Saturday. Should be good weather and a good turn out to help this great charity!

 

[WetGunPowder]

Breakfast tomorrow morning at 5:45 at Our Place Cafe in St Croix Falls. Hopefully hitting the woodpile around 7:30.

Great day in the woodpile yesterday. Not as large a crew as last time but put another huge dent in the log pile. Special thanks to 5Rinc and the whole Robert's family crew. Three generations of dedicated men who have a real passion for giving! Thanks also to dieselfitter who reassembled the back-up elevator and stole all of the gingersnap cookies!!! We even had our Wisconsin State Assembly Rep Gae Magnifici there to help too! Pictures to follow.

It was a fantastic day! Happy Birthday to Duane! Thank you to Gae for joining us at the wood pile. I hope to see everyone again on Nov 3rd!

Looks like Nov 3rd is a go for the next shot at "working the woodpile!"

Looking like sweating and bugs will not be a problem Sunday! PM me if anyone is planing on attending so I can give Denny a head count.
