Maine open house

[Peter Drouin]

A little rain in the morning but not bad, I looked at a new LT70 wide mouth 33" thats a lot

  

  

 

look at the size of that motor on the log turner

Ross was showing how thin the mill will cut


 

Berry from NY WM was runing the 70 with the new joy sticks, now that will take some time to learn how to run that, but Berry had it down

  

  

 
cutting red oak

then I saw this big guy with a cam corder I think thats what it was :D

 

Guess who :D
Mr Jim Rogers I think we will see a move soon :D

This is him and I, Im the good looking one the left :D :D ;D


 
We were tooking at the mills and edger


 
and low and behold the [thecfarm] walked up, for me It was big suprise to meet these two good men, we talk and make some fun on the FF, but to see these two men face to face made my day



 

When we had lunch at the table I looked, and looked at thecfarm, and said[ ah man no grits] :D  :D :D ;D

Two WM's on the same truck.  I believe it was the WM Hannibal gang with an LT-10 on the bed and what looked like
an LT-40 in tow.

Perhaps they were making the run to Maine?

Looking at the pic of ya'll....the only one that wins the beauty contest is the mill.  :D :D :D

I'da like to have been there with ya'll. Looks like you had a great time. 

[thecfarm]

I'm the good looking one in the middle.  :D 

This a part of the show.



 

Jim and Peter are standing there somewheres.  :D
I got to see a LT15 with a Yarmar diesel run. A nice unit. Yes,it was nice to met Peter for the first time and to see Jim again.

[Okrafarmer]

That LT70 will cut 33" now? Oh, that's what I want for my birthday!

Don't you just love that new mill smell.Glad to see you met the food requirement on this post.Time marches on, I ran  puterized 70 but no joysticks,looks like there will be a learning curve on that one.Better let the grandchildren run it and old timers offbear. Frank C.

Ray,

Nice cap.

[JohnM]

Looks like a good time, guess I wasn't paying attention or I might have made the trip down.  Wife and kids are out of town and all I was doing was splitting and stacking wood, love the splitting (new splitter 8)) but hate the stackin.  Normally I get a flier from WM about these things but maybe they took me off the mailing list when they heard I was looking at a Lucas. ;) ;D :D  Part Deux at the Forestry Expo? ;D

Now that is a real good eye there WDH. I can't even tell I have my FF hat on. I keep that hat in very high standards. Only wear it when I'm going to meet other members at a show.

[Peter Drouin]

Jim said to me too , here we are getting a pic with no FF hat, the first pic, I told him it would ok with the boss, I hope :D :D

But thecfarm had one  ;D

[Jim_Rogers]

Ray,

Nice cap.

I commented that he was the only one of us three that brought his....

I wanted Peter to be able to find me, so I wore my Jim Rogers Sawmill hat. And Peter wanted me to find him so he wore his sawmill hat.
Only I forgot the name of his sawmill.... :D

We had a nice long chat.

It is always good to see and read about FF friends meeting.  We may not actually know each other, but the friendship bond is already there.   

[rooster 58]

   Yeah Magicman, that's for sure. I met Wally's World at marty's open house earlier this month. It was even more interesting cuz he's from my sister's town of Lynchburg, Va. ;)

[Magicman]

This reminds me of an interesting situation that developed last year with my Sister that lives in Oklahoma.


 
  I found out that she knows Ianab through another forum and that she and her husband had actually visited him and his family in NZ.  Sometimes it is a small world.
