Yet again another wonderful wkend. Thanks Dan for hosting yet another great GTG.:msp_thumbup::msp_thumbup: Got to meet some great new people from both near and far. My family and I made it home about 3:30. and turned around and drove 3 more hours to Omaha. My son had a great time as well as my wfe and daughters. Sarah the cap/hat you crocheted for my granddaughter Is the best. It was great to see old friends and a disapointment not to be able to see those that couldn't make it. Les you would have ben proud of Stumpy and I we ate your share of Tammy's Tri Tip. :rock::rock: Matt tell your wife she did a great job organizing the meals and keeping you and Dan in line:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange: .

PS How could I forget all the great pics. And the Demo that Dave put on.

Many thanks to Dan for providing us such a well rounded place for a GTG.:bowdown: There is more to this weekend than just running a bunch of saws. Old friends were seen again and new friends were made. Our children and grandchildren got to enjoy exploring the property and going on many adventures while making new friends also.

Many thanks to the wives for preparing the great food. You are greatly appreciated!:msp_thumbsup::bowdown:
 
pdqdl demonstrated climbing and felling techniques on this tree on-site.

Actually, Freehand cut down the trunk. He was the feller that done the fellin'. I was only responsible for making it fit into the open spot on the ground.

There was so much kudzu still hanging from the trees, we couldn't hardly see enough to judge the distance. It looked plenty safe from where I could see it before I came down off the tree. We decided that guessing was a lot less work than sliding down that hill to check for ourselves, so we just cut it off.

I wanted to bounce it off the tree just to the right so that it would pick up a spin and maybe roll on down the hill, but Freehand went for a clean shot. It worked well, but dug a nice crater.

I don't ever remember cutting down a tree that big that was perched on a such a steep hill. I'm not used to getting winded just crawling up the hill to get to the tree.
 
Thanks for the great GTG.

And all the great gifts. I don't know what I'll do with my new thermos... :confused:
 
Looks like all you guys/girls had a blast wish i would of been able to make it, but there is next spring. Just want to say a big THANK YOU to all those that worked on and helped keep the Hammer saw a secret from Stumpy up until the moment you guys gave it to him. I know he'll appreciate it. and an extra thank you to Matt if it wasn't for you being a great friend to both Stumpy and I this wouldn't of happened. :rock::clap:
 
I think we need to have a big GTG lost and found box.

I also think James didn't make this GTG so he could keep my chairs from the spring GTG. :rock:
