I gotta say thats a good crowd for Peter's first get together.
Its good also to put faces with names.

Ya'll is a whole lot prettier than us in the South.  :D :D :D

Some of ya is smiling some ain't. So I'm assuming the smiles are from
the ones who ate Grits behind the barn. ;D
The older I get I wish my body could Re-Gen.

The next one we can have at my place and cut some slabs.
My place is no were near as nice as Peter place.
It looks like the hillbillies hideout with wood every place.
I will try to get my mill shed up this summer.
Maybe get a tent.
Do it in the summer maybe ?

I had a great time visiting with everybody, seeing Peter's operation and enjoying the food.
I made it all the way home 6 1/2 hrs arriving at 9:35 or so.
Pretty tiring for this senior citizen.
I forgot how frustrating driving on other that interstates can be in New England.
got behind a line of cars and a school bus going up mountains on Vermont 9 at 30 MPH for what seemed like an eternity.
On to the pig roast in August!!
Took some video of the quarter sawing on my phone but haven't a clue how to post it.

It was fun, Thank's to all who came. 
We did get a lot of flake from that Red Oak. 
If I was in the finish hardwood market, I would cut it all that way. [reverse role] with big logs. The Oak I used I think was 18" top end, and not quite big enuff for that kind of cutting.
 But, watch out for the backstops, All most hit one.  Thank's Yellowhammer. 
Gab was a big help having watched it in person at customersawer's.
Good food Bruno. smiley_thumbsup

Bruno & Peter:
Thanks for hosting and everything else.
I enjoyed meeting other members of the forum and their guests.

As far as purple drank is concerned at exit 20 off of I-93 there was a Wal-Mart and I'm pretty sure they 
had grape kool-aid available and I could of brought a bottle (I think it is a quart) of 190 proof grain alcohol.
Personally I do not think contributing to someone getting drunk and losing their senses is the right thing to do.

Good to hear that it was a good get-together!

Really nice turn-out!

I wish I could have made it, but I have several customers who all want their stuff sawn yesterday!

Nice pics, thanks for posting!

What a great bunch of FF members and just a terrific time!!  Peter & Bruno were the perfect hosts for this 1st of the Northern Project get-togethers--thanks so much to them and their spouses for their efforts.  Some serious sawing/demos and we all learned something (big cheers when that oak ray-fleck showed up!!); and lots of laughs and stories--the day went by too fast.  Even the forecasted rainy weather held off until later in the day!  Already looking forward to the next one.  Hope everyone made it home safely.  All the best, Rob

Coxy, yes I am now pretty white on the cranium and face, but it was all well earned.
Bruno you would be welcome anytime as would any FF members.

After taking 9 through VT to get to NH on friday I chose to take a different route on the way home. So I drove through Killington. Much nicer drive. I did notice the closer to home I got the dumber the drivers get.

I think I need to make a trip back up there and go hike Quechee Gorge. When I drove over it, it looked amazing.

Definitely a great way to spend a weekend. I would do it again without a second thought. Thanx to everyone for making it worth the trip.

Do like Yogi Berra said.  If you come to a fork in the road, take it :D.

When I left home it said 6 hours took me almost 8 :) I put in start point and end point into my phone. Then threw the phone in the center console and only looked at it a couple times. 

The journey is half the fun. I have seen some pretty amazing things doing that. Plus I rarely travel the same route twice.
