If things are not clear as mud, We'll try to answer your questions as they come up.

Thanks to everyone that entered and congrats to our winners. Please listen to the following recording to see if you won! :)

Oh!  I forgot to mention, we are plotting a new Forestry Forum Feature  :)   

Forestry Forum Podcasts.  You'll need to listen to the audio to find a little bit about that as well. :)

pod·cast
ˈpädˌkast/
noun
noun: podcast; plural noun: podcasts

    1.a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or portable media player, typically available as a series

 :-\
Well, I listened to the podcast about a dozen times - no luck figuring out the right phrase...


edit:  Ahhhh, got it!! 8)

ljohnsaw you are persistent I only listened to it 3 times, no luck for me either.

When entering our answer into the link, does the equal sign need to be there?

Yes, it must be there. You are simply replacing the YOURANSWER part with the correct answer.  Having issues?  ;D

Quote from: Jeff on December 12, 2015, 08:03:44 PM
Having issues?  ;D

:D....Its not a stroll with Harley if thats what you're asking.  :D :D

Hey Jeff will you be posting the names of successful entrants? I ask because of the warning about the proper address after getting to the thread. Not sure if I would know if I goofed at that point so that I could redo it but forgot to check on the exact wording before I sent it. I considered redoing it but decided that this was probably less annoying to you.

I will reply to every successful entry within a couple hours of submission.

Thanks.

That was fun! I hope I followed all the rules. I am a bit of a non-conformant  8) or bad at following rules anyway

I am past a dozen times. I gotta get outside and get something done.  ;D

Don't let this be harder than it is. :)   Believe me, the answer is right there. If you listen, I'll tell you the answer. (in the recording  :))  Be at peace with the contest my forum friends. don't let it aggravate you. It really is not that difficult.  :)  Once you get it, you will kick yourself for not getting it. :D

So, no one has had any comments on the future podcasts idea...

I like the podcast idea. Topics like grits, goats, roasted pigs...... it would be neat to hear from members.

Let's get Jeff and how the FF got started. Yes,there is a post about it,but hearing it would be good too.

I like the podcast idea also. Topics like Goats going to the Wheatland, eating Cedar furniture and recycling it into Wicker furniture.  ;D

This forum is FULL of different topics and different folks who know a lot about their craft.

This is a good idea.

I love the pod cast idea.  One of the nicest prizes I ever won on the forum was a conversation with a Yooper, Chet.  I still say he sounds Amish.   :D

My daughter came over this morning and brought Tammy's mom for a visit.  Tammy had Sharon sit down and listen to the podcast. When it was over, Tammy asked her if she knew the solution to the puzzle.  Tammy's mom said, "well I think so, it seemed pretty easy".  She then proceeded to give us the correct solution the first time listening to it without any help or guidance.

For all of those having trouble figuring this out. It isn't a clue, just a break. :)

I wish you would! We could add a new line of products. Goatwicker furniture  8)

I miss the goats we had.
This week,no joke, I have been using cedar logs from our place here that were pealed by goats. They ate the bark from the cedar trees and then those trees died.

Now carry on with the original topic.  ;D

podcasts about grits :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

How about The Tamiam Comedy Hour?

I told her I could be HER sidekick. :)

Is it really that hard that everyone quit trying? We have three successful entries so far and that's it.

Whoo Hoo! 8)  That means I have a chance at winning something this year!  Actually, it is not that hard, Jeff tells you the answer in the podcast!!!  Listen again...

If I enter again, do I get another chance in the drawing... ;)

I gave up.....I can recite the whole recording though.  :) Do I win 4th place?

......and Magicman? He is a BOT.  :D :D :D :D :D :D

 :o :o :o I might win something too!

Yea, if nobody else enters, then its just a matter of what yer going to get.  :D

I can't believe we won't get any more entries. I tell ya the answer for goodness sake!

Poston, did you try listening in half speed or playing it backwards? What about any tapping sounds. It might just be morse code. I heard it the first time but I had to listen again to get the right dots and dashes ;D

I tried so many different things that the FF software or something thought that I was a bot or something and made me type those screwy letters in the box two different times.  Yup, I have the whole thing memorized.   smiley_dizzy

Y'all can KISS MY GRITS.  :D   I'm thinking its the accents that throwing me off.

Another hint. Listen closely in the background. Get somewhere really quiet.  Tap......tap tap...tap...tap tap thud...thud tap. Get a pen and paper and write down the times you hear each tap and thud. Then you can start to decode the first part of the puzzle. Think colors. Or Jeffs favorite food.

No I'm not trying to throw anyone off. Just trying to help  ;Dl ;D

QUIT!!!! I have no idea what that words mean or is. I have just about wore my speakers out from listening to the thing.  :)  I am just over thinking the answer. When I come to,I will feel kinda dumb.  ;D

I feel sorry for anyone who has to listen to that more than once.  What accent?  Yanks don't have accents unless they are from Maine or Massachusetts. ;D

Poston stop wasting time listening as I entered so that I could win your prize!!!

Not only does Jeff tell you the answer but I think he tells you it twice.  He was pretty straight forward it was me who tried throwing everyone off with my code words. ;D

Nope, only once. But I absolutely tell them what the solution is. It's not that complicated. Anyone can do it!

Ha! Got it.

You guys are just thinking too hard.

Yeah!! I am in.  8)

Not yet, but I did get this again.   :-X

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot.

I am back to having to type screwy letters into a box (4 times) because I have submitted so many wrong answers.   :-\

I have never ever seen that message before.  Are you getting the message on a forum screen, or on a separate web page?

Not a FF page, but it list my IP and all sorts of stuff.  Anyway, I have listened to that conversation too many more times this AM to continue.   I have 'bout typed so much in that it could print a bio on you.  smiley_dizzy

I am going to give another clue.  The solution is three words. You put them together as one word for the puzzle, all lower case to get the solution.

I went and looked, and see no errors in the log for your I.P. so it didn't come from the forum. It seems it must have come from your Internet Service Provider.  I know of no system on our server outside of the forum software that could request a captcha form submission to proceed.

very strange how dem yoopers sound , in real life, on the podcast

I've been trying ALL UPPER CASE.
Are the 3 words said together?

Of course. I'm not that devious to make you pick out three random words. :)  Tamiam may be, but not me. ;D

I'm about typed out. Its easier to win a chainsaw.  :D

I can feel my odds dropping fast.  There are at least 5 of us that made it  :-\

 Make that six mon ami!!!!   :)

  If this Frenchman can figure it out  ;D   :P :P :P

  Poston, ya might want to take the ear muffs off to listen to what the man says!!   

And then there were 10.  :)

You could always bribe your fellow members that figured it out, but then if they told you, their odds of winning goes down. ;D

I gonna do it myself. I will write EVERY word you say down on paper....and I mean every word. I have already started.
I simply WILL NOT lose to the North!  CHARGE!!!  smiley_horserider

I have me, Julie and Paul working. We start the recording. write down 3 words you say...stop it....back up 2 words and add the 3rd and keep going. Should have the answer before the Pig Roast.  :D :D :D :D :D

I'll save you some time. you will only have to listen to the parts where we talk about the contest.  Yer goona feel like such an idiot.  :D :D :D :D :D :D ;)

I already do.  yikes_smiley
But I represent my type of people and we vote.  :D

I am almost ready to eat a bowl of grits for the answer.

WELL KISS MY GRITS!

I feel lower than a snakes belly in a wagons rut. (old saying )

I'm in like flint! ( old saying )

The only thing that bothers me is when I added my answer to the existing address, I had to hit "space" before it would work.
If I tried it after after typing the last letter, it would not work. After typing the last letter, I hit "space" then "enter"......BAM.....I was in.  8) Maybe its a "Mac" thing.

I did not bribe anyone. Its funny how when "top shelf" prizes are involved nobody has even heard of a Goat.  >:(

But by writing all Jeff's words down.....trust me......there are 3 words that go together. (Thanks Paul).

Reply #54 helped a lot. ;D

whatagoat. ;)

You really should be ashamed of yourself for playing with my Southern Intelligence. :)

The SawyerBrown is in the running for some nice prizes!  Yeeee -hah!  (as The Goat might say)

Very clever.  The rest of you guys might as well give up and just let us compete for those nice prizes, you'll NEVER get it!   ;D

I'M IN!

My wife is sulking that we couldn't race the word search this year.

Thank you jeff and tammy!

I would try..  but my computer doesn't have any speakers.

Could you use head phones?

Thanks Poston.. just didn't hook any up last time I did a system rebuild.. they're in a box in the closet.  Guess it might be time to dust them off.. those prizes are looking pretty nice. 

It took me a while, but I'm in.

You know when you've listened to a personality on the radio for years and then you're disappointed when you finally see a picture of them—because they never looked like you imagined?  For many of us, this is the first time we've heard the mysterious voice behind the mug we've seen on the forum for years.  Well, I'm here to certify that Jeff definitely sound like a Michigander!  In fact, I couldn't help but think he sounds a lot like Jeff Daniels (who, of course, was raised and lives in Chelsea, MI).   :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dvl1ck1BqPs

Listened 4+ times.  Could not have found it without the additional clues provided.

Thanks.

Philbert

I don't have any idea how many times I've listened to the podcast, I've run out of ink in 2 pens writing down possible clues and got sore fingers from typing in the address and I just don't get it!   :-\

OK.  I'm in.  Was obvious, as advertised.  But I have to give some cred to Poston, whose post about adding a space at the end was key to interrupting my frustration.  I thought I heard the answer the first time through, and I was correct, but without the "space", the correct answer goes nowhere.  Yes, I, too, am on a Mac.

That space definitely has to be a mac thing, because it simply isn't the case with a PC or android phone.

5 more entries over night! :)   Some I could technically throw out, as they didn't add their usernames as required. I ask that so I can quicky identify you, but using the forum email for to complete the contest adds the member's email of record from the forum, so I can easily figure out who they are that way.  Getting a contest email entry from an unknown to me address that simply says,

Thanks for the contest,

Joe

Give me no idea...

No space required for me, on my Mac.

To add to the mystery. ;D

Maybe one of us should update our software.  ;D

My software was updated to the El Capitain iOS X version in October.  That was its own bundle of joy. :-\.  And I am on an iMac, note a notebook.

Mac users are quite accustomed to the statement: "It works on ANY computer", followed quickly by the accusatory, "OH, you have a MAC!!!"

I have the exact same set up as you.  :) I don't think a lot of the El Capitain but it comes with the flow.

Yosemite on a mid 2012 mac book pro here, I held off on El Capi after reading the reviews.

If this old aircraft mechanic/former logger can figure it out, you all can do it.  Just remember the KISS method (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Merry Christmas to the head Elf and his most wonderful "sidekick" and Thanks Logrite for putting up the goodies for this bit of fun!  8)

Magicman,I had to do the same thing as you did.  :(   My provider gave me the box too. I typed and I typed and I typed some more.  :)

I'm in!  After listening once, then reading the clue and listening three more times, I lucked up!

Love y'all!  Merry Christmas!

I listened and paused.  Tried some entries.  Listened some more and tried a few more.  Then it hit me, duh!

Okay, now listen, this is very important.

I TELL you what the solution is. I Tell you. I also said something about hoping they don't quit listening after 5 minutes. I could add to that, that the reason for this, is the solution is in that first 5 minutes.

Enough hints already!  I went from a 1 in 3 chance down to 1 in 30!  No more hints!!! :D

If they can't get it with this last one, there is no hope for them ;)

Every entry gets a reply email. If you did not get a reply email, to a form you should have filled out, no, you didnt.  I Don t see your forum email in the contest entries. No pm from you either.

Oh My!  Tamiam got her wish. Clearly this year the contest has been diabolical to get entered into. So, for the four hundredth and fourteenth time! :D :D I tell you EXACTLY what the answer is in the recording. Three words, all together.  You can do this! You can get entered in the drawing!  You still have a few days left!

Sometimes, when things are supposed to be easy, we tend to overlook the obvious.  ;D Guilty as charged. :-\

Clear as mud!    :-\

I guess I can't see the forest for the trees!   :-\

Maybe these pics of the prizes will encourage you to listen more carefully.  Jeff really does tell you the answer, you just need to listen.

third place - Bluecreeper Goodies (value pack, t-shirt and bottle opener)

The end of the handle on that mill special is quite interesting.  It looks like the end of a baseball bat.  For better grippage, keeping the hands from slipping off the end?  I like it! Thanks for the pics of all those mouth watering prizes, and again for putting up the bounty for the contest!!

Great prizes and I am impressed with Kevin's dating system. If he was in Canada he would have to put in a nickel, no new pennies anymore.

I don't know if this is part of some peoples problems or not, but your answer does NOT go in the forum search, it does NOT go in google. It does NOT go in bing. It ONLY goes in the browser address bar where the web addresses for web pages appear as instructed in the audio.   Browser is firefox, or internet explorer or chrome, or aol or maybe some other obscure browsers.

Jeff - thanks for rotating the pics!

I hope everyone is enjoying the contest.

Poston - I don't think it helps to enter more than once. ;)

Mad Murdock - you are exactly right the end of the mill special is just like the end of a baseball bat.

Thanks for the contest Jeff and to LOGRITE for all the prizes, thanks Tamiam and Kevin!

I'm in, thanks jeff
and a merry christmas and happy/heathy new year to all !!!

In the Christmas spirit, some of you that have made it might want to try and PM someone and help some that have not. I can't do anymore than the clues I give everyone.

There shouldn't need to be any more clues.  Jeff has said:

I tell you the answer
It is in the first 5 minutes
I TELL you the answer
It is really simple

If you listen, he will say "the answer is..." !!!  Right there, in front of your ears  :D :D :D :-X Oh, I said too much, now everyone will get it!

Confirmation received, thanks Jeff.

I knew the answer the first time I listened to it. It took all this time to get registered! I am a computer illiterate when it comes to cut and paste, browser, and all the tech talk. Nancy got me signed in!!! Thanks sweetheart. Thanks also Jeff, and Tammy for this contest. 8) 8) :christmas: :christmas: :christmas: :new_year: Andy

You speak in English, you speak in French and now, sign language.....but I understand.  :D

How many are in now, Jeff?

John....your odds are better off with these:   07, 16, 21, 24, 40 and the powerball 19
The drawing is Saturday night.  :D

Powerball rigged?

Oh No, what is the world coming to?  At least we know the the Publishers Clearinghouse is the real deal.    ::)  :D

There will be no more rigged contest talk on this thread or I'll decide the winner right now by who sends me the most cash in the next 20 minutes.

KIDDING PEOPLE   

I'll give you a half hour. ;D

I will give you all I have in my pocket right now. That could be as much as 3-4 oz of cedar sawdust. Just kidding I'm in my Christmas union suit. You don't want anything out of the pocket of this.

One last clue, and this is significant. A few posts back I said, "for the Four Hundredth and Fourteenth Time!

this number, 414 is significant.  THINK!

You have 3 hours until the change to get an entry in closes. Good luck.

This clue is a give away.  8)

12 minutes left. It's not that complicated. I can't stress that enough. Think, or maybe don't think and you will get the answer. You still have time.

You're killing me.  :)

If everyone had watched the "minute / second" counter on the contest podcast....

 (https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/24625/record_copy_2.jpg)

when the time got to 4:14....Jeff gave the answer.

One of his hints were "414".

Also in his last hint, he said it is NOT THAT COMPLICATED

3 words  :)

So you should have used the address:

forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=notthatcomplicated.....
and you would have got in.  :)

No, actually he said:

If you want to be technical about it.  In the podcast, he said "the answer is not that complicated."

Sorry, I have a thing about "it is" and "its" ::)  Though I never know when it is its or it's.

  Jeff, Tammy and Tamiam this was a whole lot of fun and thank you for the contest.  May all y'all have a Joyeux Noel !!!  Merry Christmas Guys  :) :) :)    :-* :-* :-* :-* ( Hey its the French in me, ladies need kissin')  ;D

Quote from: Jeff on December 14, 2015, 06:54:48 AM
Nope, only once. But I absolutely tell them what the solution is. It's not that complicated. Anyone can do it!

I gave the answer plain as day above, but use the magician's trick of misdirection by following immediately with Anyone can do it! :)

it's is a contraction of it is.  "Its" is a possessive, and it is proper to use it without the apostrophe as a possessive.  If it is a contraction, it needs the apostrophe.

I have an issue with then and than, and many times use the wrong word when I know which one it should be.

...and it gets worse depending on the amount of Egg Nog.  ;D

I need to go sleep some of mine off cause I got egg nog egg nodd.

Whoever wins deserves it, because this had me completely stumped.  Great fun and clearly the work of a diabolical mind.   :snowball:

 Roxie, I gave the answer away in French, just for you!!!   ;D :snowball: :snowball: :christmas:

I am with Jeff and isawlogs.    It was not that complicated.

The plan is, when our days settle down, this evening Tamiam and I will get together via Skype and we will draw the winners and announce them later on in the evening via a short Christmas Day Podcast. :)

Whatever it is/was/then/than, I hope it will be a Merry one!! Thanks for keeping things lively!!!!

 :christmas:

Jeff thanks again for the contest!

Tamiam thank y'all at Logrite for the wonderful prizes!

Better to be last than miss the deadline.
Kept forgetting about it.
Kind of like the Abbott and Costella skit of Who's on first.  That is what I asked, Who is on first? And I told you, Who is on first.  And on and on it went.

I can't wait! I keep checking over and over

Patience grasshoppers. It looks like it will be tomorrow evening due to circumstances beyond our control.  :)

Can't help but think Jeff's not done with us yet.  He's probably working on another diabolical  smiley_devil puzzle in the next Podcast just to find out who the winners are...   :D

I'm the only one in for tomorrow, so far.

Poston, I think you're on the right track.  The correct response will unlock another thread where the word search is located.  After you unscramble the circled letters, it will spell out three "goat movie titles".  I don't know what we do with those, but the contest could go on for months!   :D

From each Goat movie there will be a clue in each one.  :D

Goat did you eat the prizes? Goat hooves can really ruin a bench.  ;D

The first movie title is   Goat With The Wind,   The next is   To Kill A MockingGoat,   and the last is  American Goatffitti, That was easy, I've seen them all.         Andy

Right, now if we take major stars from each of those films:  Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, and Richard Dreyfuss...I mean Clark Goat, Gregory Goat, and Richard Goatfuss, maybe we can figure out the anagrams that will tell us the winners!  Are we getting close Jeff?   :o

Thank you Jeff for once again having the Christmas Contest. You always come up with something that will push a member ALMOST to the point of "busting" a computer.

And its really hard to come up with the right words to thank a sponsor like Logrite.
Tammy and Kevin.....just plain and simple, you are good down to earth people.
I appreciate you and what you do for the forum.

The Jr. Cant Hook is something I can really use...bad.
I'm excited and waiting on it......so hurry up.  :D :D :D :D
Thanks again.

You guys at forestry forum and logrite are awesome.
Thank you for contest.  Great fun!

Happy new Year!

I know Jeff is a stickler for following directions and it showed in my responses from the winners.  Everyone so carefully supplied me with their name and addresses :D

I'll sending tracking info tomorrow.  And like thecfarm said it would be great to see pics with your prizes.

That was fun!  Congrats to the winners!

My Christmas Contest prize arrived today.
Thanks Tamiam, I really appreciate it.

I have 2 different Baby Cant Hooks.
The Blue one was my Christmas prize.
The Orange one is a special made hook Tamiam made for me to move small Cedar logs that are wedged in beds of trailers. It works GREAT!

I also got my order of Bleucreeper in today along with their Hand Cleaner.  Thanks again.  :)

 8) Had this package waiting for me when I got home this afternoon:

 (https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/30640/DSCN6669.JPG)

Now I have a bottle for around my shop/house and one for up on the property.  Wish I had it back on the 1st - my padlock on my storage box was frozen! (another thread)  Next trip up I'll see how it works on that.  The package says "Providing High Strength Lubrication" - and just in case, a bottle opener was also provided! :D

I was a little worried I would have to keep swapping the needle applicator and the storage cap to keep from spilling while in storage, but the needle cap has a really nice rubber stopper.  Well thought out package!

Thank you again Tamiam, Kevin and Jeff for the fun contest and the prizes.
