My original intent was to saw rafters for the shed. The prints called for 16 pair of 4x8x16' rafters. After watching the set up of the first bent and taking pictures, my wife said "why don't you just buy trusses?
Smart woman😀😀  the next day I saw an auction of a builder that retired. Guess what he had for sale?

  just the right size and 21 of them. Got them for a good price😀😀
Saved about twenty trees and another year at my pace ! Might have shade this summer 8) 8)

LOL, when you get a good hold down system for that mill that will accommodate a fish, then you will make a LOT of money!

Money to burn is right. We fished 5 days and boat gas burned up any profits  :D
Fish caught Friday were donated for a Saturday fish fry with proceeds going to the South Haven Boating Foundation which promotes boating and water activities for area youth.  Saturday & Sunday fish were donated to the South Haven Steelheaders Club for a fish boil fundraiser later this summer.
About 70 boats participated this year. The start of the tournament is a shotgun start with all boats at the pier head. Pretty exciting to see that many boats power up and run all at one time 8)

Well time to get back to the shed project.  One beam for bent four didn't survive the winter very well so I needed to replace it. Cut a nice red oak this morning, woke up the Lt15 and milled the 8x8x12' beam. Plan to cut the joints tomorrow and get the bent up.
