Slabs

Howdy neighbor.

Welcome to the mob.  You're into a great bunch of guys here.

I'm on a little past woodbowl in Walton County.  I don't have a mill but  I'm the chief mechanic, offbearer and sawdust-and-slab mexican for my neighbor's LT-40.  Hope to get a chance to pump your paw soon.

It looks to me like we need to have a NW Fla get-together in the near future.  We're gettin' quite a little pack formed up here. ;D 8) 8) 8)

Sounds like a DanG good idea. Maybe we could find a halfway centralized point to meet so no one would have to drive very far.

That sounds like a good plan men. ;D
Maybe we could see some logs sawed into boards that day?

See'ins there's at least a half-dozen of us within a 50 mile circle, I don't see the centralized point as a big issue. :)  Maybe my perspective is warped because I just drove 2435 miles to go to the piggy roast. :D :D :D  It was worth every inch!

Now who's got the best cooker? ;D

If cooker's is to be the prerogative to having this get to gether ....  I would think that Fishfarmer will be kinda hard to top . Now I aint looked at the map , might be I am out of the ballpark as to location .. but I can asure you that he not only has a big azz cooker , he learned real quick on on how it workins was to be , cause he did a fine mess of fish for us at the piggy roast .  8) 8)

Well, I could host a theme party here.  I got all kinds of themes.  We could have a building party or a tearin' down party or a mechanikin' party or a garden plantin' party or just a simple mowing contest.  Bein' the good host that I am, I can do the cookin' while y'all party. ;D

You cook good ribs.....

Ain't that the truth.  Best I ever had.

Marcel maybe something was lost in translation ;), a fish cooker is different from most other cookers. But I appreciate the complement I couldn't have done it without DanG and some others helping.

The way my work schedule has been lately it's hard to turn down those last minute calls with hunting club jobs,etc...
Committing to a certain day at my place just ain't gonna happen for now.
But,I'd be more than happy to have a get together here later this winter.
Besides, we need to be able to stand next to a big ole oak bonfire and really enjoy the cooler weather,heck maybe even scald a sow hog in the old sugar kettle... burning lighter knot wood of course.

That mowin' contest would have been a lot more fun last year if'n we hadn't had to work on DanG's mower. The blade was dull and the pull cord broke after we swapped motors. It's a good thing I had a jug of gas in my truck or we wouldn't have done much mowin' at all. DanG, we don't need to cut down those bushes again this year do we? You can see the mowin' almost as good if you slide your lawn chair and cooler over about 10 feet. That took almost 2 hours with the wasp nest and all. It's a lot of August fun, but we need to start a little earlier this year or at least quit before it gets dark.

Yea, DanG's a pretty good cook. He cooks a fine steak, of course we got to bring our own steak and something to drank. The skeeters ain't too bad if there's enough  smoke comming off the grill. Yall' may need to bring a flashlight so we can see how to eat.
