Blue Creeper Award #3

Southside · February 19, 2021, 01:48:47 PM

Well it's that time of the week again, here we are awarding the Blue Creeper Award. First I have to say that it was quite a contest. Out of the gate it was neck and neck to the first turn with no clear leader, and then the whole "If you ain't rubbin' you ain't racing" came out and it was on. So many posts, topics, quotes and responses. There were the lobbyists who PM with suggestions - all excellent and you know who you are if you sent them - admin meetings until way late in the night, votes, fellerbunchers (because we don't have filibusterers here), tie breaker votes, nominations, it's just endless I tell ya.

Back to the race, on the back stretch the lead changed a few times, the underdog made a good showing, then got tripped up in the mud and stumbled - over and out. Coming into the final turn everyone was crowding the rail and still no clear leader. Here they come, it's going to be a photo finish - oops, seems someone didn't post their photos correctly so no proof of victory can be offered up, AND HERE THEY COME, the crowd is standing on it's feet YELLING!!! And the winner is....

And back to our regularly scheduled programming....

For those who didn't enter this weeks contest because they didn't think they would win, let me say there is no purchase necessary, but donations to the Admin staff sure help your odds, speaking of odds the contest is open to all members of the Forestry Forum and the winner does not need to be able to identify local hard woods that they may or may not encounter, handle, saw, or otherwise manipulate to remain eligible. Odds of winning are approximately 1 in 54,946 and the ability to generate copious volumes of smoke and fire from household chemicals that are mixed up in a sawmill yard also increase chances of winning, as long as the sawmill does not burn down, in which case the members odds of winning go up in smoke. You can enter as many times as you like and the winner has the option to select either a lump sum box of goodies or payment can be spread out over 20 years, just realize the stuff will all show up at once so you will be responsible for the whole 20 year thing.

So without further delay this weeks winner is Timeout Error 416, System Reset, please try again later.

8) woohoo congrats Doc!

Old Greenhorn · February 19, 2021, 11:02:39 PM

Congrats Doc! Well earned and well deserved!
( Oh, and edit to add: SouthSide you can be very cruel sometimes. Geez! That took a LONG time.)

doc henderson · February 20, 2021, 02:46:49 AM

sorry to keep you all waiting, but I guess they did it to me.

I went to bed early, after working 4 night shifts, and as you can see by the time my days and nights are turned around. This award means a lot, and could not have come at a better time. Lots of work stuff, more than just the medical. It feels like an extended family and I have great friends here, some I have never even met. As well, you can tell from my posts, I will very much put these great products to work. I wish my parents could be here... but that would be awkward as it is the middle of the night, and I may or may not be in my undies.

. Thanks all for making this place so informative, and fun to be a part of. And thanks to Admin for all the support. Thanks to Logrite and @Tam-i-am for the gift. ... That's weird, there is a lady in an evening gown taking my arm, and trying to get me to walk off ... Oh I guess I have gone on too long. Sincerely It is nice to be recognized and look forward to getting the great products. THANKS!

Go back to bed Doc, we'll see you at the awards reception after the ceremony.

Jeff · February 20, 2021, 07:41:53 AM

Whew man! I went to bed late last night knowing our guy had won, had a dream that I woke up and someone else had and we had to spend the next week counting votes. Thank goodness for Doc Henderson!:)

Magicman · February 20, 2021, 08:47:50 AM

Congratulations Doc!!! Thank you not only for your woodworking skills but also for your humanitarian skills and willingness to reach out and help anyone that needs a supporting hand or heart. You are a Good Friend.

21incher · February 20, 2021, 09:16:04 AM

Congratulations Doc. With all your helpful replies and the professional info you share I was hoping you would win one. You deserve a gallon size.

WV Sawmiller · February 20, 2021, 10:01:06 AM

Doc,

Congratulations.

I just hope you don't wake up from your dream and find that you are in Thailand and the lady in the evening gown is taking you downstage to be the guest of honor at the Ladyboy show. :D

doc henderson · February 20, 2021, 10:08:04 AM

WV, I knew you had been lots of places and had great experiences but.. well you seem to know a lot about this place of which you speak! thank you and thanks to everyone! Best Regards! Doc.

The show is a lady-boy cabaret and I guess all the actors are gay and/or transvestites. They wear beautiful costumes and put on a very professional show except for all the lip syncing. One short, fat man plays several roles and is the comedian in the group. Several times they come up in the audience and grab a participant to help and to embarrass. Most of the others in the audience are Japanese and they seem to take it in stride pretty well. At the end of the show the lady-boys all meet downstairs for a photo-op. I tell Becky we need to get one for the Christmas card but she declines.

Actually they put on a good show. :D

@doc henderson will probably end up using Blue Creeper in the ER.

I just had a picture in my head I should not have even mentioned here. :D ;D ;D

doc henderson · February 22, 2021, 06:12:25 AM

prob. works good on those knee replacements you all are getting! :D :D 8)

Jeff · February 22, 2021, 07:56:08 AM

Doc, some innovation please. Perhaps use the bluecreeper as an internal lubricating bionic hydaulic fluid.

doc henderson · February 22, 2021, 08:03:20 AM

the first idea just required a zerk, the latter requires a reservoir. I will see what we can work out.

Southside · February 22, 2021, 08:23:48 AM

Not to worry - getting around the child proof cap should provide enough of a challenge for a while. :D

Well, it is BLUE, do you think there might be a connection....? :D

Maybe look into bladder compartmentalization. The more beer you drink, the more powerful the hydraulics. You could be responsible for making beer a super fuel!

WV Sawmiller · February 22, 2021, 09:46:15 AM

Now if Doc could just find that missing ring... :D

samandothers · February 22, 2021, 09:42:12 PM

Well deserved for a great contributor in many subjects, particularly in this year of COVID with 'just the facts'!

doc henderson · February 22, 2021, 09:46:57 PM

thanks all for the well wishes, and the engineering advice!

doc henderson · March 01, 2021, 04:16:52 PM

Just an update. so I have a little blue creeper. I was about out and appreciate the bulk bottle. I gave one of the little ones to member @Jim Thomas , and I plan to give one to member @Cardiodoc to try. I still have the small applicator I got at last years pig roast. Thanks again Tammy, and I hope that sharing these will help find more "believers" in your great products. @Tam-i-am
