Jeff,
August 9th is the same day as the Les Cheneaux
Antique Boat show.  Becky said I could drive down
to Higgins lake while she goes to the boat show
so I think that I'm going to make it.   8)

Ah, tell Becky to come too. The boat show ain't changed in 10 years. :) It'll still be there next year. The Forestry anniversary picnic wont happen again till 2103 ;D

Be sure to register! (Tell Becky the Anniversary T-shirts are free, the boat show shirts will cost her 12 bucks)

I'm not sure of our plans surrounding that day but might be doing the cabin thing too.

Jeff,
Just look at how bad of a photographer he is.  He completely missed the basketball goal and almost cut his kid off.  :D  :D  :D

On the real topic...what time do you expect activities to start and finish?  Secondly, are you going to try and have people stay in hotels in close proximity in case we want to mingle into the wee hours?  If so, do you have recommendations on a specific hotel on the recommended list?

Jeff,
I'll leave Becky in Hessel. What about if I bring Becky's
Dad instead?    He talks trees.   ;D
PEW.
P.S. You can shrink the tractor photo if you want.
Ain't that green purty   :D  Can't believe Becky
said yes.  It pays to keep her in critters.
Do you want donations for a 19 or 21 inch monitor
or at least a 17 inch monitor?  ::)

Anybody got the Phone number for Nine-one-one? :D :D :D

Sorry Rav,  I'm not making fun of you.  It's just that a fellow doesn't get an opening like that too often and I hate to see an opportunity like that get by me. :D

Jeff

Tom, next time down remind me and I'll program it into your speed dial for you. ;)

Jeff,
I will know in the next couple of weeks.  It sounds like it would be a nice vacation for the family.  That's why I was asking if there was a specific hotel that I should check out.  I am actually in process of building a new workshop and so it will depend on how the finances finally come out as to whether we go anywhere this year!   :D  I will have to stop splurging on items to have any hope.

I insulated the floor and put water pipes for floor heating, I am installing 2x6 walls for better insulation, I found 2 gorgeous large misordered windows when I was looking for 'cheap' windows.  Unfortunatly they were 2 1/2x the cost, (I still bought them).  Finally I am custom building the rafters to give a 10 foot ceiling with 8 foot walls. 8) 8)

I will attach photos later this week when I remove the plastic off the concrete slab.  I also will be posting some questions on interior paneling one of these days....

PS, whitepe said he was tossing his cookies the other night and that was the problem....... ;D
