It's a good thing you had Fat-0ld-elf there, WDH.  I'd sure of felt bad if you'd been surrounded up there all alone.  :D  Ya gotta be careful about out-running your supply line.  :D

I had my eye on that chair Tom but I don't think it  would work.  The red is not quite the right color in the shirt. :D

Sure looks like everyone had a good time and I sure wish I could have been there but I am being held against my will for a number of reasons right now, but maybe next year.

The only other comment I will make is the same thing that someone once told me when I was caught wearing shorts. "Those are the whitest legs I've ever seen!"     :D :D

Yes Tom,

Tom, you and DanG were sorely missed....Danny and I were proud to represent the South.
2 of us against the crowd of Yankees are about the right odds.Danny (WDH) had figured out the real correct answer for the cones was ZERO.  The question was how many PINE cones in the pig.  He shared that info with me but we went ahead with our best guestimates of the SPRUCE cones.......Danny was a lot closer than me.

We did have Dr. Buck in the southern contingent, so we were not so outnumbered after all.
My sincere thanks to all responsible for the Pig Roast.  This was my third time and not my last........Like McArthur, I shall return......And you folks can stop worrying about someone REPLACING Tom in that chair.....No one will replace him........Thanks again........Everyone loves my two new t-shirts........I am still in Michigan getting ready to attend my 53 high school reunion next Saturday and I willl wear one there.......FOE

Just couldn't make it this year.  Next year is looking a lot better.  Heading to Fla to visit some southerners and the NSS convention this weekend.

It was hard reading all this and knowing the good time that I missed, but I know the folks there had a good time.  See ya next year.

I really missed the roast.  It sounds like all had a good time. 

Jeff, you and Tammy are gracious hosts and very giving people.

Hey, since I wasn't there this year someone else will have to start the "create-a-caption" thread ;D

Well, that only leaves the Northerly Northern to be spoken about :).  Where I was this weekend felt real Northerly Northern to me ;D.  But, it was very nice, I must say 8).

BTW Tim1234, the Boss has a great caption pic that he took Sunday morning.  I am sure that he remembers which one it is.

Oh absolutely, without a doubt!  In fact, I wouldn't mind spending my summers up there.  It's supposed to be upper 90s with high humididity here tomorrow, with heat index in triple digits. :o  Spring and Fall are deeelightful around here, but Summer and Winter pretty much stink.  Maybe N. Zealand in Winter and the YouPee in Summer would be a good arrangement, eh?

The PiggyRoast is such a great event, maybe Jeff should do it twice a year, like August and Febbiewary? ;D :D

What would that make you, Dan, a Sunbird?? :D

I've been called all sorts of birds, mostly odd, strange, and rare, but never Sun...at least until now.  Wonder why that is? ??? ::)

Cutting & Tasting The Pig. DR Buck supervises the operation.

Pasbuild was the winner of the guess the number of pine cones  spruce cones in the plastic pig, but I was the second place winner and received a prototype LOGRITE sawbuck. It seems to be well made and very sturdy. I like the center supports so the last short section of the log will be held while cutting. It folds and can easly be carried with one hand while the other hand carries the chainsaw. I tried it out today and it worked well. Thanks LOGRITE for donating the sawbuck. 8)
Now if Keven would make a wooden insert for the top to convert it to a little table top, then you could put the chainsaw on it and do maintanence. ;) ;D






Things turn out best for people who make the best of how things turn out.

Looks great, and now throw a log loader on it, and a splitter/stacker for the output, ya got it made...
