Sawing project 2019

[tule peak timber]

Yeah, the worst part of going to Jake's place is how expensive it is.  He's got so much nice equipment, I never seem to visit without driving home saying "I need one of those!" and bang, another bank note. :D :D

You are speaking the truth Robert.


Several years ago we bought a manual mill thinking we would be content to saw a few logs. It has been a very precipitous and slippery slope ever since.  We plan to add a battery so that we can have hydraulics anywhere and build a small wood sterilization box soon.  We will probably wait until after the weekend at Jake's to start these projects.  Of course with all of the Jones' getting vacuum kilns...

Hey ,,,I resemble that remark :D :D :D

Keep a budget of $300 dollars and buy what you want. 

[WDH]

That is one SGU (Standard Goat Unit).  I have spent many, many, many, many, MANY, MANY SGU's on my modest operation.  Jake prints SGU's.

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

It's like going to a Bass Pro Shops of sawmilling, but instead of ringing a bell or blowing a horn for the next show and tell, Jake (or someone ) fires up an engine.  

So we will be all be just chatting and telling stories, then all of a sudden, echoing off the clouds, comes this "Vroom, Vroom" sound and then it's "Well, love to talk some more, but got to go.  Something big just cranked up."  :D :D

Y'all are killing me. So what would a SJU (Standard Jake Unit) be? $301.00 If I'm going to be printing them I would rather stay true to myself.

Dont have any SGUS or plan on buying any SJUS but may bring some Benjamins

PatD and I are tentatively adding our names to the list

Well it looks like tentatively ain't gonna happen. :-\  I blew my "motorcycle" knee out a couple of days ago and the knee brace is not helping much.  All that I was doing was getting dressed but took an awkward side step.  I see no way that I can do the prep necessary much less make the trip.  Very disappointing because I was really looking forward to the meeting and fellowship.

That drops the number to about 70 and someone else will have to make Jake a Coconut Pie.

[Southside]

Oh no MM - I am very sorry to hear this.  I was very much looking forward to meeting you.

Lynn,  
Sorry about your knee.  You and Pat are each other's nurse, so I know you will be OK,  We will catch you and Pat at the next Big Event.  

[tule peak timber]

Same here ! Sorry about your leg !

[pineywoods]

Dang MM, shouldn't let something like that stop you. Seriously, I'd be happy to loan you a handicap scooter to get around on. Have a nice one all ready to go, just charge the batteries..

[terrifictimbersllc]

Very sorry to hear. Looking forward to meeting you somewhere else in the future maybe at the pig roast this year.  Hope you get better fast.  

[Lawg Dawg]

I was looking forward to meeting Da MagicMan!  Done told everyone in Jefferson about it! But seriously, hope you get to feeling better!

[Southside]

@doc henderson Do you think you could borrow an ambulance from work and pick up @Magicman on the way? I think we could get a gas fund going to cover the costs.  :D

[terrifictimbersllc]

Somebody stop by and pick him up. Don't take no for an answer. 

[doc henderson]

Sorry MM.  Maybe you will feel better by then.  I know the camper takes a lot of prep.  see how it goes.  not like you need a plane ticket or a motel reserved.  With this group, i would be afraid that a gas fund means we go eat mexican food with chilies and beans. lol,  Mm if there is anything i can do to help, and i am sure i speak for everyone, we will do it.  You are the Patriarch of the FF family.  Jeff is like the big brother!  I am just the smartie pants neighbor.  Hope you recover quicklie and can make it.

[doc henderson]

SS I have a jackson wheelbarrow, not sure long it will take from his house.  :D

[petefrom bearswamp]

I agree withs docs assessment of Lynn and Jeff but doc is not the only smarty pants on here.

[GAB]

I also wish MM a speedy recovery, however if the nurse is Mrs. Pat he may milk it for a while.
Now if he was in the care of a battle hardened nurse coming at him with a 3" long 12G needle 
that just might shorten his recovery time a smidgen.
Hi Lynn.

[Peter Drouin]

Hope you heal fast Magic man.

Can't you put it in a Sling and come on?

[Mossy Chariot]

I was really looking forward to meeting you "MagicMan" (Lynn and Pat).  Hope to soon, somewhere.  I'm going to keep you on "The List" as I know you will be there in spirit and I'm sure we will talk about you as if you were with us  8).  Your ears will be burning. :D :D

Get well soon!!!
