Great story. Reminds me a little of Magicman with an Australian accent. ffcheesy
What a terrific story and inspirational! Thanks for sharing with us👍🏻
Good story about Ralph, and hope he is still going strong. Will be about 89 now.

Well I suppose so Doc, but I wasn't thinking of age. His face looks a little like Lynn's and he has that easy friendly way of speaking was all I meant. Don't get me in trouble, I can do that myself. ffcheesy
I was talking about the Australian accent! :snowball: ffcheesy ffcheesy ffcheesy ffsmiley :thumbsup: :usa: :usa: :usa:
Life goals... quitting sawmilling so I can build my own sawmill.
I vaguely remember a longer version of that interview that had some footage inside the mill. It wasn't detailed enough to see how it all fitted together but it was interesting because it didn't look like "normal" I'd love to crawl over it and see how it all worked
Looks like I can get in trouble without saying a word. :wink_2:

It shows what an addiction making sawdust is.
