Title: looked at a mill this morning
Post by: tnlogger on October 20, 2005, 12:44:03 PM
 Wal lets just say it an't fer sale  on the way back from the VA I stoped and visted with Woodbeard  for a few minutes. and I'll tell ya he sure nuf has a fine LT60/30 there. he was cutting up an order of cedar and had quite a whack of boards piled up and some real good looking logs to saw to.
  Pat and I didn't stay too long but really enjoyed his company. as I couldn't really help him cause of my o2 tank we talked awhile and let him get-er-done.
I do know that seeing he's only 30 miles from my house I'll be going back and the next time I'll us the back pac so I can drag a few boards.  ;D
Goege thanks for the look see at the mill and taking time outa you day to vist  8) 8)

No problem at all, Gene, it was great to meet you and Pat.
I only got about 650 bf cut today. first thing I did after setting up was shear the end off a hyd. hose, so I had a bit of down time in the AM. Then I had a bunch of smaller dia. logs, some really doughty. Knocked off around 3, figured I'd get a fresh start tomorrow. Should be able to finish up the 4mbf of cedar they want. Then next week they're talking about starting me in on 9mbf of oak. So yer welcome to come an' pull all the boards you like. :D

 :D :D :D Buzz I got plenty of scott pacs at the station if I need one  ;D
I have got a backpac to fit them little B tanks in I can hang on my back and GET-ER-DONE with the weather cooling done I dont need the O2 as bad so I might just get by with taking it with me.
