A few years ago my grandpa on my mom's side passed away. He was an Army veteran, WWII. My family and I went up to his funeral in Wisconsin, wife and 3 young kids. During the funeral service the then 2 year old was getting fussy so I walked outside. Never have really told this to anyone. Anyway, it was towards the end of the service and we sat and watched the Honor Guard preparing. Everyone else was still inside the church. It was a cool October day, sunny though. They stood at attention so I stood holding my son. We were the only ones outside while they did the gun salute. It still gives me goosebumps. Then we followed them inside as they gave the flag to my grandma. They played taps also.
I have my great grandpa's bronze star from World War I. I have his papers in a frame too. The craziest thing is he and his wife had just arrived in the US not long before from Germany as immigrants. When my dad's parents had passed he and his sister went through their things and were preparing for an estate sale. I couldn't believe it when I got up there to northern Wisconsin to finish things up. They were going to sell all that stuff! I brought home everything I could fit. They got mad at me, but those things are irreplaceable.

I have the flag from my Grandfather, he was a WW2 Navy Veteran. My Grandmother didn't want it (long story there), I took it and display it in a wood case in my living room.

can't remember if i posted this already...sorry if i did but well...its worth seeing i think.
We had a windy night back in the spring which i didn't think much of but my mum commented on it and i saw one or two headlines of a little bit of disruption....my place survived and hadn't even had the bins (trash cans) blown over so thought we must have escaped. then a couple of weeks i go i noticed this at a local park!
the cutie is there for scale....and well...she's mine and very cute. (not quite 2yo). tree is about 2' or just over in diameter. not sure what...some softwood..cedar? the park has a farm zoo fun by a college that do farming and horticultural training, I've seen them doing some tree climbing/chainsaw teaching, I'm guessing its them that have had a go at milling but i think they stopped as its got shakes....or because it makes a nice picnic bench.
The carnage didn't end there....dominos anyone?
the snapped tree has clobbered a copper beech....the copper beech looks healthy except its roots look rotten so over it went, and it then hit a standard beech. the standard beech has a few scuffs and a jaunty lean now but seems healthy
cutie i hungry....cutie is missing big sister wh is having her swimming lesson aaannd cutie is tired....not had a nap yet...grumpy cutie.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Not only is she a cutie Neil, but that crotch in that dominoed tree is a cutie also. Hopefully someone grabs that section and slabs it!
I hadn't thought of the burls but had looked at the trunk. I can't. its a public park, its not mine and I'd get in trouble....but that beech trunk looks good to me.
Our smaller piles...

Saw these on some of the local fire trucks that were on display this evening. Haven't got to fire a saw in a few weeks starting to have withdrawal symptoms.
Happy birthday Mike!
Apologies in advance for interrupting the scrounging firewood thread with this firewood scrounging information.
Three loads last night, one delivered again by my new best friend in his truck. Two pine and one box elder - just right for my shoulder season supply stock.

Thanks guys, had a good day up at the cabin yesterday, even though the Blackberries are not ripe yet!!!
We shot 22s and cruised around on the ATV.
When we heard some loud thunder cracks in the early afternoon, we got off the mountain before it came down. On Rte 17, it was coming down so hard my wife wanted me to pull over and stop. I explained to her that I would rather drive through it, not you could walk the dogs in this downpour, and it things start flooding I don't want to still be there!
Was coming down so hard that even with the wipers on high you could barely see, but we made it (free truck wash of all the mud on the way home).

Dang man!
They look plump!
Mulberry?
Did you plant it?
If so..
How many years did after planting did it take for the plants to start produce nice sized one like that?
