That's MY response on the vid!

Looks like everything survived the trials of shipping!
The large piece is one I have been working on two and a half years. Between designing the background or the buildings, road or no road, and learning how to paint glazes so they would look somewhat normal it has been a challenging work. I made it so a Woodmiser lt40 sawmill model fits in the base flat part. I hated the idea of giving up mine so hopefully Woodmiser will provide one, if not my the receiver not have one, drop me a line.

If I had Jeff's talents at painting, my work would be so blessed. Jeff, if ever you get inspired, I would love to buy a painting from you.

I have been a Forestry Forum member for 13 years and have attended two Pig Roasts. The community that you all represent mean a great deal to me and by offering my pottery I feel I have something to contribute. The gallery where I sell my work misses out while I cherry-pick the most desirable pieces to send and the hours I devote are small in relation to the time and warmth I receive from you.

Have fun and take pictures.
Howdy

2021 Forestry Forum Pigroast Update # 11 Friday boiled dinner - YouTube

Corley5 · August 07, 2021, 12:41:48 AM

We may very well not make it. We had a major lightning 🌩 strike. Blew outside flood lights off the side of the house, phone entrance, well control box is blown up in the basement, several outlets and switches in the house are blackened, blew the main breaker in the panel and sub panel and the meter may very well be fried. Cooked the in ground pet fence box too. We won't know the full extent of the damage until day break. There are craters in the yard where it hit a shepherd's hook bird feeder hanger, and blew a chunk out of one of the concrete deck pillars. Knocked knick knacks off shelves. Crazy. Lucky the house didn't burn down. We're not sure if the power company will energize the house or will require an inspection which is probably a good idea. Going to be a busy day.

Had a house just down the road get struck last week. Same thing, hit their fence in their yard and it went down into the ground and went to the houses foundation, you could see where it burned a path in the grass!

thecfarm · August 07, 2021, 06:20:24 AM

Yes, you are lucky!! Sorry to hear of the damage.

Old Greenhorn · August 07, 2021, 06:50:16 AM

Corley, I am truly sorry to hear about your hit. You were very fortunate to keep your house! We'll be thinking about you today and wishing the best for you all.

Nebraska · August 07, 2021, 08:21:14 AM

Ugh sorry about mother nature. Jeff's pig looks really good. I wish I could be there, I would enjoy putting faces and names together.

petefrom bearswamp · August 07, 2021, 08:37:12 AM

Keeping updated from here.
wish we could have made the trip.
Heading to a pig roast here this afternoon for grandson's grad party.
Sure will miss seeing all of the attendees there.
Hope to be able to make the roast in 2023

gspren · August 07, 2021, 10:01:07 AM

We have a community picknik here in DE today held at a local firehall, I said to wifey that the FF pigroast would have better food,she asked why, it just will! Have fun everyone!

HemlockKing · August 07, 2021, 06:22:01 PM

I bet that pup has been getting a lot of attention lol

Old Greenhorn · August 07, 2021, 07:53:23 PM

Well Sawyer was doing his first pig roast and was trying to figure it all out. He was tired.
Boy howdy we had such a great time we had! The day was just super and the folks were great. Lots of great conversations. Speaking of Howdy, his door prize contributions were much coveted by guy and gal alike, as were all the others, but Howdy's had that little sumptin' sumptin' Great day all around.

Howdy · August 07, 2021, 09:02:10 PM

Miss y'all.
Glad my stuff survived shipping and is of interest.

Thanks for the pictures, keep them coming.
Howdy

DbltreeBelgians · August 08, 2021, 05:04:30 PM

@Jeff
Thank you Jeff, Tammy and the rest of the crew and all the members and sponsors that contributed to what I feel was a great pig roast. We met a lot of new faces this year and also got to see some people that we met the last time we came up back in 2018.

@firefighter ontheside Bill, glad you made it home and yeah I got your message.

Found this on my bumper but not until I was unhooking the trailer at the campgrounds in Wolverine Michigan.

@doc henderson
Brian and Georgia it was a pleasure meeting you both and we hope your trip back to Hutchison is/was safe safe and uneventful.

@Old Greenhorn  Tom and Pat, hold the fort at Hidden Hills and safe travels back to New York. Thank you for everything and it was a pleasure meeting you both.

@Magicman  Lynn & Pat, it was great to see you both again. Oh and I promise not to touch your knife ever again. :D

@terrifictimbersllc  Wow Dennis you saved the day with that adult beverage. I was pretty hot and thirsty after having that tire ordeal at the Birch Run exit. Thanks again buddy. You da man.

I'm sure I missed plenty more but to everyone at the 2021 pig roast and behind the scenes a big thank you from Jill and me and we're looking forward to the next go round.

Brent

Oh there's my name tag. It must have jumped off of my shirt and onto your bumper.

firefighter ontheside · August 08, 2021, 10:39:07 PM

Here's a few pictures I got.

Tacotodd · August 09, 2021, 07:16:22 AM

Brent @DbltreeBelgians thanks for taking a pic of me with the doc. Now everyone can see wha I look like (since I haven't been able to make my phone equipment transfer pictures in my album to the forum, even doc wasn't able to make it happen).

doc henderson · August 09, 2021, 07:39:51 AM

@Howdy your gifts were impressive. I am sorry the stars did not align for you to make it this year.

Don P · August 09, 2021, 08:20:22 AM

Hey, I saw Furby down here last week, he gets around :D.

Howdy · August 09, 2021, 11:28:17 AM

Seeing y'all brings back wonderful memories of friendship and good times. Thanks for the pictures.

My plans for attending were changed as I came down with COVID and can only attend from my hospital room. It was quite a surprise as I seldom have close contact with others but a single visit to my sister in Seattle last week proved to be the entire family's down falling.

Sorry to have missed such an colorful and talented group of folks. I hope everyone had a good time.
Howdy
