Not sure all depends on if you buy blades I think, Call Ross

I talked to Ross about this. If you register,$20,that will put you in for some nice door prizes. I forgot now,a 395 Husky?? box of blades. And more nice prices. Much better prices than last year.BUT if you don't have a mill,just say,I don't have a mill and there is no cost to get in. But you won't be entered in for the nice door prizes either.

There was Kevin with a pan in his hands.  ;D  Heaven was in reach. Thank you Mrs. Logrite.

Had an outstanding day!! Sooooo much candy it could make a grown man cry  :D
It was great to be able to put a face with a forum member and share the day. Thanks Jim, Peter, Mrs. Peter, Cfarm. It was a good day to be a FF member  :) oh, and lunch was outstanding thanks to Ross and crew.

Although I have been sick all week, I managed the 3 hour drive north to the Maine open house.

I did have a good time, and a great lunch. Thanks to all who were there and spoke to me.

I'm sorry I missed GAB. Don't know how he could miss us with our Forestry Forum hats on. Oh, well maybe next time.

I did have one young man say to me: "you must be Jim?" And I asked him if he was a FF member. He said he had been reading it for a long time but hadn't posted any thing as most questions he had were already asked and answered. I don't know if he has a screen name or not but you could post here and let us know what you're up to. I don't know if he had a mill yet, or was just "wishing".....

Jim Rogers

Thanks to Peter from my wife for the honey.
Whatever you do, have fun doing it!

Jim:
I figured you would be with Ray.  I asked the hosts, both Ross & Maureen, to point out Ray to me and they did not recognize the name.
I went through the list of registerees and saw Ray's name so I knew he was or had been there.
After the show, using his address, I got directions to Ray's from Maureen and Autumn and headed off to his place to make a special delivery of the package I got from Lynn.
Saw Ray's sugaring set up, saw his mill, my wife got her puppy fix with his dog, etc.
For those interested:  I plan on going to the log show (Essex Jct., VT) on Friday the 9th and will plan on being in the W-M area at 11:00 AM.

I thought/think we're meeting at the Logrite shared booth at 11am.

Don't know for sure.

Jim:
I haven't gone back and reread the post but I thought that the meeting location was either W-M or LR or undecided at the time of the post.
That is why I specified the Place, Time, and Date so there would be no questions.
