oakridge tn is just about 15 min away and has several hotels to choose from. plenty of resteraunts too. its a pretty good size town.
 
it is known as the secret city for a good reason. its a secret as to just how many nukes are hidden under the town of oak ridge.
 
Don't forget the porta crapper

Whats the address and what time is everyone gonna get there? Im gonna do my best to make it.
Wish i had a good 65 cc saw to bring.
 
Me 3! And I think we stayed in the Holiday Inn in Oakridge. Way nicer than I was expecting to find in the "sticks" of TN. The Appalachian Americans are pretty nice up that way.
 
Yes I said sticks :) Thats what Wiggs said we lived in when he came to visit. I just looked at him like he had lost his mind..

I do live in the sticks.......that is the truth. I love it though. I was raised in Raleigh, NC and moved here when I was 21. After the rat race that Raleigh was I love this place. There's a huge tree farm that borders our property.....it's literally miles across that place to the nearest house. People here still wave. The old guys that hang around at the store all know my name.......

It's a great place to live.
 
I grew up in the city of Rochester and I moved out to the sticks (50 miles south). S'awesome out here.


The fast city life certainly wasn't / isn't for me. I prefer to be the hell away from people. ::thumbsup::


People suck!!

When/if I can retire, it's up to the Catskill/Schoharie sticks for me. I can't wait to get off this over crowded sand bar I'm on now!
 
today was a slight set back at work. i dont know how much time in will have free i the next couple of months. i had an employee get hurt today. of course it was my fault that he got hurt and im sick about it. i had drug up a couple of trees at once with the grapple so he could top them. one tree was extremely bowed. picture a banana on its back with both ends stickin up when he cut all the limbs off of it. when i was backing up to the logs to haul them out he was walking away from them and i could not see him becouse there was a tree in between us. when i touched the tree it rolled over and the bowed up end hit him in the side of the leg breaking it. when it rolled onto him i jumped off the skidder and ran over to him. grabbed up the 346xp he was using to top with and bucked the log off of him. his leg was slightly curved when the log rolled off. i called in the emt and kept him as stable as i could till they arrived. after several hrs in the emergency room we now know that the tib is broke in 1 place and the fib is broke in 3 places. he had a knee replaced 4 months ago and was kinda slow getting around and this messed up the prostetic.i will have to carry the load of his work till he is healed up.(ill will try also to carry his pay to him just like he is still here god willing), so bare with me as i try and get thru this. if i can carry the load the gtg will still be on but if for some reason i cant i hope you guys can understand. right now making sure this guy has what he needs is going to be a heavy burden. paying the same wage and doing twice the work will be a strain at the very least.
