Marc, you have some great boys, Samuel was a cool kid too! im pretty sure it was max that told me he was sorry i hurt my finger
on the table saw and homed it would get better (I think he had seen me bump it earlyer in the day and realized it caused me some trouble)
thanks for the deal on the little ECHO, I pulled the muffler screen, tuned it for my fuel, and put the 16" bar and chain. it really came alive
........................... oh ya the little remmington got running pretty good with a little carb adjustmentI put it in a 8 inch peice of wood and made a cookie, I was impressed how much stronger it was when I leaned it out a little

I'm in agreement the 3 boys were great workers! It was fun to be able to put some faces to the names of AS members. There were also several local folks there hard at work. Spoke with some of the ones involved with the wood distribution & pleased to find they are working hard at seeing the wood gets to those who really need it.
A wide assortment of saws, great attitudes of workers, fantastic lunch, ... what can I say, I has a great time.

Contrary to popular opinion, I don't like to wait until the last minute. I believe we have adequate wood to saw on, but what about actual cants?
Last year I bought RR ties, at the last minute. They will be hardwood. and about $ 25 each.

It was good to meet you...
You came from a pretty long way to help, and brought a slick splitter to boot!!
Hope to see you in Jasper this October...

If we have our own sawed, it is time to get started. The sawmill should be near the source of the logs. I don't have any pine, poplar or balsa YET. And actually don't think I will.
I have sycamore and knotty sweet gum.
I am short on time,hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange and don't have time to grow them.
10 / 12 footers is best IMO.

My family goes to Branson with 2-3 other families every year in November. We are going to Branson on this weekend. I would be in deep doo-doo if I bailed out on the Branson trip. My heart will be in Nixa but my body will be in Branson I could get out of Thanksgiving dinner easier than the Branson trip. I will offer to come the week after to split wood if it will help. I can come the week before to drop trees, cut, split, whatever. I would drop off my "wicked work" 260 on the way to Branson for you to use again and pick it up on the way home. 
I can donate $$$ for lunch or to help with gas to deliver the wood.
What kind of bins are we talking about? I may need some if they are plentiful.

Has location been set? I'm hoping to make it.

Is you pickin' on my tree hacking last fall?
Once I was in the tree, I thought I had it down pretty quick. Besides, I told everybody that I was a pretty slow climber. There sure wasn't anyone else there that day offering to climb it for me.
As I recall, I spent most of the time getting set up with my somewhat inexperienced groundies. I was rather concerned about the lack of emergency services in the area. Hanging helpless on a rope while someone figured out who might have an aerial device tall enough to get me down that wasn't 90 miles away isn't my idea of fun.
That's ok. I had more confidence in you and Jason (once you had the idea of what I was trying to do) than I have in my own guys that are supposedly trained. I wish I could get you full time in KC. You guys were downright ferocious cutting your way up that hill to get to the base of the tree. This old timer had trouble just crawling up the hill.
while yall was cuttin/harvesting i was acquiring another grandson. little premie but really healthy. just sayin. yall done good

Just bustin' your chops...
Had you got stuck up there, Jason and I would have just cut the tree down to get you off of it...

Yeah, but would you have let me down nice and slow? If I had to wait until the rescue paramedics came, you might just as well have dropped me fast...just get it over with.
I had fun; I don't think I have ever had such an appreciative audience, and the tree was actually pretty easy. Whenever I have a nice big audience, it is usually because my chipper is disturbing the whole neighborhood and they all come out to watch me get hurt. If that doesn't look too promising, they go back inside.
Apart from my usual slowness, I thought I made some splendid cuts up in the tree. I don't suppose you guys noticed how nice the branches landed flat, rather than tip- or butt-first? That's what is supposed to happen: the branch stays where it lands. That is actually pretty hard to pull off on a consistent basis.
