Sawing Logs for wwsjr (Willie)

[4x4American]

Boy gee I'd love to come, kinda far for my old truck and me...we spent the other day on two different rollbacks!  I have work for the excavation boys and myself, physical therapy, doctors appointments and family matters to attend to as well.  If I was closer I would.

[Magicman]

We would love to have you 4X4, but you will be there in spirit anyway.   

Info on the way Tim.

[Magicman]

We are loaded out and ready to travel tomorrow AM.  Gassed up, clothes & boots packed, and the tires aired up.  I bought our refreshments, coffee, hot chocolate, snacks, and put the drinks on ice yesterday.  Willie said that it will be Chili & Cornbread for supper tomorrow night.   

The weather forecast shows the front passing and a good week ahead with only a ~30% chance of showers Wednesday.  We can deal with that.

Everyone be safe have fun and enjoy

[fishpharmer]

I cannot be there Monday, whole week is iffy now.  I have several doctor appointments.

[redprospector]

I hate to let Willie down, but I wasn't able to put things together to be there.
I will however be praying for safety, and God's blessings for everyone who is attending.

[Magicman]

You will be there in Heart and Spirit my friend.  ;)

We knew that the location and schedule would be difficult or impossible for most folks, but it is an opportunity for the others that can attend and help.  Not being able to come is one thing.  Being able and not coming is quite another.

[Andy White]

Lynn,
All loaded up, fueled, and ready to go! Nancy is getting a few things for the road, and the shop fourman has given his instructions to his dogsitter, so it looks like it's on for tomorrow! You be careful on the road, and we should see y'all about 3.00 tomorrow afternoon. This will be the breakin trip for my new truck engine.
     Andy and Nancy    8) 8) ;D

[Magicman]

Andy, we are anxious and excited, and my prayer is for traveling safety for everyone making this trip. 

[Nomad]

     Sounds like you've got all the manpower you need, so I guess I'll sit this one out.  But if that changes, just give a shout.

[pineywoods]

Andy, don't know what route you will take, but if it's across I 20, the welcome mat is always out. I'm just a few miles north of I 20. If you're coming this way, I'll pm phone # and directions to wille or Lynn..

[Andy White]

I'll get the info from Lynn, and plug it in the GPS when we leave, and will try to stop on our way home. Leave your number, and I'll call you as we get close.      Andy

[Magicman]

Piney,  I have your cell# and your GPS address.   :P

[Jeff]

Work and travel safe my friends. You all make me very very proud.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Work and travel safe my friends. You all make me very very proud.

If ya think about it, if it weren't for you Boss, none of this would even be happening.

[wwsjr]

My prayers are for your safe travel, looking forward to seeing everyone. Temp here is 52°, predicted 40° tomorrow morning. Drive safe.

Willie

[fishfighter]

Y'all guys be careful. Wish I was there to learn more on milling.

[sandsawmill14]

[Dave Shepard]

Work and travel safe my friends. You all make me very very proud.

If ya think about it, if it weren't for you Boss, none of this would even be happening.

There is so much that wouldn't be happening without this place it's hard to fathom. I know of no resource that even comes close to what the Forestry Forum offers.

[4x4American]

That's for sure, is there a Jeff Jr. that has interest in watching over the forum in years to come?

[Bill Gaiche]

We made it to Willie's this morning. We have 2 LT40 supers and 1 Lt50 set up and running. A little slow at getting things going this morning, but when it was the guys and girls were cutting there hearts out. I believe Lynn said that there was a little over 3,000 bf sawed. Cedar, Walnut, Sycamore and Cherry. I didn't take any photos but, there were a lot taken by other folks. I don't remember the other two sawyers names or the off bears at this time. Lynn will give you a better update on all this with photos when he has a good connection with his computer. All the ones that were here today will be back again tomorrow. Willie was able to come out on his scooter and help us with keeping who's is what and what is who's. The ladies prepared some great food for us to eat also. Anyone that was there that can add to this, please do. Maybe tomorrow we can have some better details. bg

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Thanks for your update Bill. As with anything, takes a while to get your ducks in a row. 

[samandothers]

Glad everyone made it in safe and are up and running.  I hope it is a safe sawing and fellowship!  Look forward to pictures and or further updates.
