Post by: Quebecnewf on May 08, 2005, 03:32:51 PM
well it is mothers day. My daughter asked me what are we going to get Mom for Mothers day I thought a day in at the sawmill was a good present so that swhat we did. Cut a whole lot of scrap lumberinto pattett boards loaded it on my new sled hauled it into the water with my boat and towed it home. My freind will haul it up on the wharf tomorrow with the forklift. First time trying new sled system works great so far hope to save a lot of work with it

That's totally neat, QN! 8)  Rank's right up there with Kevin's Woodmizer on skis.

It has long been a dream of mine to go up there and buy an old lobster boat, drive it all the way back to the Fla. Gulf coast and fix it up.  What are they going for these days?
