Congrats Danny, you did well.

I like the quote "Georgia has done one thing exceptionally well -- Georgia knows how to grow trees".  I'm glad he didn't mention football. :D :D  Roll Tide.

You've got to love the MSM  :

[barbender]

You can't just blame the MSM. I've seen the same thing in industry trade magazines. I've seen logging magazines where the articles are obviously written by people who don't have a clue the problem is the intended audience does🤷🏽‍♂️

[Tacotodd]

I'm only blaming them because of their obvious (unknowingly) slanted views of what they are reporting. If they only knew the truth.

[customsawyer]

I didn't mean to take this toward the media. Danny's nick name for years has been "BIG WORDS". Due to the amount of knowledge he has and enjoys sharing, due to his passion for wood.  I'm confident that lady left there searching Google on half of what he said. Great job Danny.

Well done! They picked a knowledgeable person for the subject interview.

Now everyone will want a tree smoother like mine.

I certainly want one.

The Reporter was at my place for over two hours and I got 20 whole seconds of air time :D.

I spent a day with a reporter from the Wall Street Journal years ago showing them our operations.  I sent him home with a "fact sheet" so our information was available in a concise form. The story that came out was flattering to our organization, but had a number of inaccuracies.  At least I didn't look like a fool.

I asked her to please not make me look stupid.  It is always a concern for sure.

Appears that may not be possible....

You are so bad, very bad.

[customsawyer]

Glad I got mine when I did.

I invited Danny down a while back to be there when i cut some beautiful sinker logs . I just felt more comfortable with him there because of the value of the logs . It was a great day ,in fact any day you can spend time with Danny is a good time. 

At the end Danny asked for a tour of the swamp ,i told them your heads will be smoking when you come back. They came back grinning and invited him back anytime.

We call him big word not because he is trying to impress but out of respect for his knowledge .

I was on the news last night, but it was a little more somber of a story.  We had a large ski boat with 6 people on it run into a rock in the dark going way too fast for the darkness.  One man died and 5 more with severe injuries.  I was appointed by the fire chief to be interviewed by the news reporter.

[WDH]

Surely not a good reason to be on the news, Bill. 

[Weekend_Sawyer]

,in fact any day you can spend time with Danny is a good time.

Absolutley!

Danny, I don't know how I missed this for nearly a month but it was good to see and hear you talking about forestry.  I had also noticed quite a few references to the tree smoother on the FF for the past several weeks, now I know its origin.  John and I are considering buying a bigger tree smoother.  Did your on-site reporter have her Thesaurus or dictionary in hand to interpret your vernacular?

[WDH]

I was careful not to be too sesquipedalian with her :D.  

[customsawyer]

You got me going to Google already this morning. :D
Ole Slider is going to struggle even saying that one.

[Andries]

Me too.
Found myself slowly trying to slowly sound that out - noT a chance.  😆 
However, Google did give me a snappy little come-back word.
" Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is one of the longest words in the dictionary — and, in an ironic twist, is the name for a fear of long words. Sesquipedalophobia is another term for the phobia."

[WDH]

Blame @barbender for that word, not me.  He originally brought it up a while back on here, but I never forgot about it because it is such a cool word ;D.

[Andries]

A cool word from one of the Glaciated folks.
I like what you did there. 😆

[WDH]

Once you use a word a few times you can own it.
