Didn't see mine today. :(  I was told by @Tamiam that Logrite won't have their own tent (teaming with someone else I think ???).  I'll meet at the WM tent but I'm wearing my Lucas hat! ;D ;)

[Tam-i-am]

Logrite will be in the OESCO booth.  Maybe you should meet there as Jeff, NESLrite and I are trying to convince them to be sponsors. ;)

[thecfarm]

Why change a good thing???  It's always been Logrite!!!!!!!!!

[thecfarm]

I'll be there. I will have my forestry forum hat on!!

[thecfarm]

JohnM did some nice directions for us all. I feel it's ALOT easier to drive by the exit for the expo and come in from the North. I got stuck in traffic one year.

I'll be there both days, supposed to have my firewood truck there at the Built-Rite display. As he demo's his processor he'll be loading it into my truck and I'll be making local deliveries in between the demo's. Hoping to see some of you folks there

[deastman]

I was misinformed,  we will be working with the guys from CRD Metalwork's

DanG!! I really wanted to go to this....but I'm bound up in 50 different directions this weekend. 2 weeks of delays, breakdowns and malfunctions and a growing list of impatient customers phoning me constantly, and the need to pay for a new used differential for my truck--in additions to the 2nd hand transmission I'm replacing in it--have me needing to work as much as possible while the money is flowing.... And I need to get some logs moved around from here to there if possible.....


Hope every one has a great time! Post some photos!!

[thecfarm]

DeerMeadowFarm,you there??? Must have missed you today. Anyone can meet at the Logrite tent at noon time Saturday. The Grandson and I will be there again. Logrite will be in the OESCO booth,so if you are facing the Thomas Bandsaws,you are real close. Thomas is green and yellow.
Highlight of the show,JohnM and me was leaving and I saw some good size cedar logs in the back of a pick up,had 2 butt logs,that caught my eye,maybe the biggest 18 inches across and no rot.     All my stuff is rotted out in the middle that size.

I had my camera right in my pocket. smiley_dunce  They were really nice cedars.

It was a good show and nice to meet some new and old FF members.  What? ???  The are older than me. ;) :D  Weird layout, all the different vendors were spread all over the place.  Normally most of the sawmills are together(ish), firewood processors near each other, etc.  This year everyone scattered to the wind, kind of odd. 

Ray, that one kid nearly had me sold on that woodsplitter.  I'd like to go back tomorrow but I've got too much to do, and probably best that I don't! ;D ;)

Thanks to Ross' wife Maurine for taking the picture.

At 1pm we had another opportunity to get another group shot of forestry forum members at the logrite spot at the other end of the event:

You never know who's reading the forum.

Yesterday at the Northeastern forest products equipment expo, in Bangor, Maine I had at least 5 people come up to me and say that they read the forestry forum but don't post.

One was a fellow from Maine whose computer crashed and couldn't get his screen name back after he got a new computer. I suggested he contact Jeff to get help to restore his account.

When Woodman and I sat down to have our lunch; we sat with two young firewood men from Pittsburgh, PA. And one said he reads the forum all the time.

Some said that the recognized my name and some said they recognized my face from my picture in my avatar.

I just wanted to thank Jeff for hosting such a great forum for all.
