So is that trailer a "toy hauler" with the back hatch?  Figured your mill must be inside ;)

All the way from Mississippi......Magicman and PatD pulled into the mill this afternoon.

Thank goodness they didn't bring any Red Bugs from Georgia.....  :D.......WDH.


We sat on the sawmill deck and chatted for a while.


 

Magicman served a little time behind my Cedar Bars.


 

I was really happy that Lynn and Pat got to meet my 91 year old Dad......and of course on his tractor as usual.


 

A little more chatting under the Pecan Tree.

 

Here's Pat and Julie


 

Magic with my Funny Money.......


 

......so he pulls out his Magic magnifying glass to see how funny it is.


 

Then its off to some fine dining at the Pump House down on the Catawba River.


 

The Pump House was once used to pump water from the river to a plant that employed a lot of people. Since then the company closed and it was turned into a restaurant.
This restaurant stands 5 stories high.

We go up an elevator to get to out reserved table.


 

No Lynn.....you cannot order "Justin Beaver" for supper.


 

Time to eat!


  

 

After our mill we went up to top floor to take in the view of the river and watch a few folks enjoy the water.


  

  

 

What a great time spending time with FF friends......even though both of our phones were either ringing or text were coming in about people wanting their lumber sawn.  :)
In the morning Magicman and myself will load some lumber for a customer, early, and then off to a good Country Breakfast.


Friday Morning June 30, 2917

So out morning starts with myself and Magic fixing a cup of coffee and touring the farm and other places of interest.


 

Then my morning customer calls and he's 30 minutes early to pick beams up.
Magic and I get to the mill and half the load is already loaded by hand.
I introduce them to Lynn and law and behold my customer is from Mississippi.  :o :o :o
They both knew family names from the Mississippi area. Small world.


 

We then picked PatD up from the Castle on Wheels and it was off to breakfast.
Making adjustments to our SC menu didn't take long.....I COULD NOT get Lynn to try LIVER MUSH!


  

 

With our belly's full it was time to pack up and for them to head North....against my recommendation.  :D :D :D
One of the best times of me and Julie's lives having Magicman and PatD here to visit.
A real treat!!!
........On the road again.....(old song).

YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Da Goat for a Host !!  Danny (WDH) brought us meals on a tray and after last night we are feeling spoiled, except that this morning I have to work for the next meal.

From here it will be the beaches of Delaware.

Looks like time well spent.  Magic, enjoy the rest of your vacation (maybe no rest this morning-working with David-watch out, he might just plop down in one of those orange bag chairs and watch your work).

Who is this backing up the road to my shop?  Hey dude, Maine is the other way, and you will get there much quicker if you go forward, not backwards  :).



 

Here he is collecting red bugs for the trip North.

Looks like a large time (old saying) for everyone involved.   8).   Have safe travels Lynn and Pat. 

Some trivia...years ago, late 1980's I went scuba diving under the bridge behind the pic of David and Lynn in the middle of winter (water temp 38F, used dry suite)...work assignment.

Hopefully I have scratched all of dem dratted Red Bugs off. 

David & Julie were wonderful hosts, even if I did have to work for meals.

We are down for the night, still in N. C., but barely.

We did a bit of traveling yesterday.


 
Crossing the Chesapeake Bay.


 
We are now at Gary & Kay's (gspren) place in Delaware.  We are headed out into the bay to place Crab 🦀 Pots.


 
We left our ladies on the dock talking.


 
Headed out.  We will check them tomorrow and also do some trappings.

You look crabby.  Red bugs are related to crabs.

Temp was a steady 73F inside where the pic was taken, 84F outside. MM will work up a sweat tomorrow pulling in those crab pots and traps.

PS; Did you notice how good looking those guys are?
