WorkSawCollector and Lisa working on a DELICIOUS breakfast

Enjoying the fire together
I know some but not all in this pic - I can see Heavyfuel, Hedgerow, Andydodgegeek,Wolfcsm, Debbie, MoJim, Lurch, Grandpatractor, and Work Saw Collector- there's a couple I don't remember their handles, sorry!

The tree cutting crew- Hedgerow, pdqdl, Freehand, and if you look close, you can see Work Saw Collector

Got Saws?

And these are a mere sampling of the collections that were there...

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Oh, and somebody cut a cookie for me.

I think I Gotchya covered...

(That was fun:msp_biggrin

 

[Lurch2]

Great time as always. Many thanks to those that make it happen. All the cooks and planners and bleary eyed drivers that never make the pics too. Sorry I had to duck out before clean up, just too many projects going.

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Here's just a bunch of good ole fashioned hanging out:

Again, sorry- My memory is failing me, but I know we've got Work Saw Collector, Weekend Lumberjack, Grandpatractor, and is that Jerry? (Marc & MoJim in the background)

Lots of good times going on... In this pic, there's wolfcsm, RVALUE, Work Saw Collector, the top of Sawnami's head, grandpatractor, Weekend Lumberjack in one group, and Andydodgegeek, Heavyfuel's hat, Marc, Tree Monkey, and Lurch.

Does Andydodgegeek look guilty in this picture... ?

How does he bend like that?!

The learning never ends..

Nor does the work...

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Plenty of big saw & big wood to go around...
Freehand

RVALUE making it look easy

Tree removal, anyone?

pdqdl demonstrated climbing and felling techniques on this tree on-site.

Freehand clearing the way to get started

pdqdl perched and ready to start removing limbs (of the tree, that is)

One branch on its way down

One piece at a time...

And another...

the ground crew

And the last piece comes down with a little help from the rest of the ground crew:

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Then we hung out some more.

And Stumpy got hisself a new saw-hence, the grin (cool hat, by the way)

Someone else got a new hat, too- aint she cute? (Weekend Lumberjack's granddaughter, I believe)

And then we hung out some more.

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Oh ya- I almost forgot- then we did some sawin...

And last, but most certainly not least, mr. jerrycorrow- I think he's done cutting this cookie now...

oke:

And that's all I plan to post. I've got about 250 more- if you're looking for anything in particular you think I may have caught on camera, pm me & I'll see what I can do.

Again. Thank you ALL for a wonderful weekend! Now... for naptime... :msp_sleep:

 

[grandpatractor]

Thank you Dan and Matt for all you guys do for setting this up. It was worth having to put up with my brother for 1500 miles just to get to have some fun!

Great job on the pics Sarah!

I hope you know that is the first time my mug has ever appeared on the internet.

I hope you know that is the first time my mug has ever appeared on the internet.

I can see why.

 

[wigglesworth]

We're there any cheese whips there?

 

[pdqdl]

I had a good time folks; thanks especially to the cooks. The grub was great.

Dan: Dangit! I forgot to pick up the leftover groceries, especially the stuffed jalapenos. Be sure that somebody enjoys them.

 

[pdqdl]

I can see why.

No matter who takes my picture, I always get caught in some sort of strange expression. I run from cameras like the plague.

I was joking.

 

[pdqdl]

It's all good. I can take the all the ribbing you guys can deliver.

Regarding the pic? I was still standing up, so it shows me in good form. Shucks; from that angle they can't even see my big belly.

 

[HEAVY FUEL]

We're there any cheese whips there?

Yep.
