Was time to make some changes to my operation. The Peterson went up for sale on the Peterson website. It sold for my asking price in about 2 weeks. Went to a farmer in western PA and his SIL who wanted a new hobby. A lot of good memories, some of it posted here on FF. Had it about 8 years.

Day before yesterday was harder. I'll admit to feeling guilty for a few months before this. But it really hit me when I took the key off of my keychain for my 2001 LT40HDD42-RA and handed it to the new owner. Went via the Wood-Mizer website for almost my asking price. 4471 hours, 18+ years, 13+yrs in business, and over 1MM BF. It didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. I wish the new owner well. He is not that far away and said I can come visit any time.

Ouch. That's mean. I said I was sorry. Some of my downfall was going to a party at Jake's in April, and talking to Southside and Yellowhammer. Watching 4x4's videos didn't help either.
Congratulations. I am sure that LT70 wide was just the balm to ease the ache.
Awesome
You had me for a minute :D

There's not much to apologize for.
Most of us leave Jake's Project thinking we need to take a new ankle on things.
Congratulations!
I leave Jakes feeling like a slacker!
That dude is on the ball!!!

Congratulations on your new sawmill. I started reading your thread and went back to check your age. I thought oh crap he's throwing in the towel and heading for the porch (honestly not a bad thing at all). Then I see that last pic.
Congratulations!
Jon
Congratulations on the new mill, but it's still a sad thing to see the old mills leaving!
Best of luck to you!
Nice, two mills in one!!

What Jon said :D
It looks like it all turned out good in the end.
Congratulations!! Sometimes I wish, but then I remember how many candles I blew out on my last Birthday Cake. ::)

That's true, but the hot new one is MUCH faster than the two old ones combined. ;D ;D 8)

Don't be blaming me for your mid-life crisis. :D At the end of the day all, it does not matter if it's a Vette, Bass Boat, LT 70, or whatever, all the sexy, shinny ones end up being high maintenance!! You gotta pay to play!! ;D
I appreciate y'alls supportive comments.
Nice Upgrade. I think about upgrading my LT40 sometimes till I look at the price of the LT50 I want! I bet there is a real difference in the speed of the new mill.
"Some of my downfall was going to a party at Jake's in April, and talking to Southside and Yellowhammer."
I don't know what the lead time is for an LT70, but it does not appear to me to have been a spur of the moment decision.

Now you can make designer firewood even faster.
Congratulations on your new toy.

Just like a guy that gets caught cheating. He always blames his friends for being a bad influence. :D
Congratulations.

That's the truth, the 70 is fast enough that it goes from "Here's what I'm going to do" to "What just happened?"
