I'll bring smoked salmon from Duluth as long as they don't run out on Saturday.

If I can sneak some from the wife I'll bring hot pepper jelly too.

I posted it on the charity cut thread but I am going to mention it here as well. Tim (Dieselfitter) picked up the steel and drew up the plans for the bucking stand we will soon be using at Denny's. We just started assembly of it yesterday, going over again tomorrow after work, and again on Sunday morning. I really enjoy working with Tim, he is a good guy. Just wanted to say thanks to him for getting the ball rolling on this big project. He is a busy guy and is taking time to do this. Good for him, good for all of us. Thanks Tim.

After finishing some projects around my shop. I have now turned my attention to the bucking stand. It is off to a good start, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Thank you for the kind words Andy. I appreciate the help and enjoy working with you also.

 

[svk]

Already packed and ready to go!

Adam's big day today! With a hog in the roaster and 10 half barrels in the keg trailer-should be a good time had by all! Hopefully he will post pics of the wedding present we put together for him and Jen!!

Just a heads up. My cell phone quit working sometime last night. If you need to contact me, get a hold of Andy. I have PM'd my land line # to him.

Will a polesaw be helpful where we are cutting?

Will a polesaw be helpful where we are cutting?

Won't be necessary. Thanks for asking.

 

[svk]

@Philbert dont forget your tools. We can try out those new handy dandy clutch removal tricks.

Back to the hotel from the wedding reception we were attending. I'll swing by the smoke haus on our way out of town tomorrow.

 

[Philbert]

Got halfway there, had car trouble.
Had to turn around and limp back home.

Sorry.

Philbert

 

[svk]

Sorry Philbert.


I've had one of those mornings. I'm only by Barnum now. Be there around 2:30, hopefully there is some wood left to cut.

 

[Philbert]

Yeah, now I gotta eat all these doughnuts I brought too!

I was too lazy to get up for a picture... Here's all of us hanging out at Dieselfitter's... Perfect GTG IMHO.

Svk, andydodgegeek, sarahdodgegeek, Dieselfitter, the Wendell llc, grifgonks and old guy.

Couldn't quite get everyone in one lazy pic... So here's svk & Mr. Dodgegeek..

 

[Philbert]

Sorry I missed it. Was hoping to have a new saw to bring, but it did not arrive in time anyway.

Also wanted to see the bucking stand - any progress photos to share?

Thanks.

Philbert

 

[Stihl Livin]

Maybe we should do a mini-GTG there?

Got home around noon today and was way to sore to stop at the gtg at DFs place. We got lots of wood split for my parents and also dropped some problem trees too. We even donated about a cord to a friend of my uncles who is around 80 and has a place near yellow lake golf course. He lost his wife a while back and does like to spend time at his cabin but only heats with wood. It felt good to get him some firewood being he is unable to do so.
