Title: 2011 Pigroast Video feed and photo thread.
Post by: Jeff on July 31, 2011, 09:15:45 AM
Just getting prepared a couple days ahead of time. I'm embedding the video feed in this post. You will be able to watch here when we have the camera on-line.  So far so good on the weather forecast hope it holds true as it's a lot less work if we don't have to set up a bunch of awnings for rain. Warm for here, but should be cooler for our southern friends.  :)

Cooler is mid 90's and lower.  Cool would be mid 80's and lower.
Do I need to bring a jacket for evenings?

Nope shorts and a tank top should be fine.  :)












Pay back for your little board gag the other year.  ;)
They are showing low 60's at night in the forecast.

I think everything is relative. I about Froze to death last time I went to Florida.  

You might want a jacket, but I think its going to be perfect and a real breath of fresh air for everyone as we have been in the 90's as well. 91 right now at our bank.

As you are setting this up so much in advance, don't forget the facial recognition technology so that the thread can identify for us those in attendance.

That one was not a pigroast. It was a picnic where the Forestry Forum had an invitation from the state of Michigan to join them for the 100th anniversary of State Forestry. Those of us there consider it the first pigroast although technically it was not. Several of us met up here at our house the night before, just like we still do to this day.

I'd like to add, that everyone in that photo other than two, is still an active forum member. One that was not a member then, but was the father-in-law of Whitepe which he still is, and the other is Mike P's grandson which he still is too. :)

I was going to test the video feed this morning, but the weather is kinda crappy. Tomorrow we'll be mowing and getting the yard ready to start moving in tables and the food awning and stuff like that. Thats when I'll probably put the camera our for awhile.  Burlkraft arrives later today. He's my right arm this year. :D

Ya know, for us stay at homes, a walking line up would be cool.  Say, 11:00 have folks line up and walk past the camera, stating their board name.

It could work. 8)

Na the eye ball on a stick is a lot of fun. First you look at the lap top it is plugged into and see who the stalkers are that are watching. Then you start talking about them around it. ;) Unless Jeff turns the mic off then it's no fun.  :(

It's been tough.  Rained most the night on hay that otherwise could be baled today.  Just before the rain began a short log truck brought some big SYP. 

Jeff, looking forward to the video, have fun.

The sound is not on to protect those without audio governors. There is really no one here yet other than Steve an a couple neighbors. We'll move the camera around and add some audio when there is something going on.

If we have time. :)

Does anyone know how late the festivities go on at the pig roast. I have to work tommorrow but I'm fairly close to Jeff's place, I thought of running up there after work. I just don't want to drive up there just to watch everyone leaving. I could probably make it there by 5:00 or 6:00 PM.

It did happen and there is no way that Jeff and Tammy can be thanked enough for hosting this event.  The Pig was awesome and there were plenty of fixin's.  The fellowship was a meeting of old friends, some of which had never actually met each other, but the instant connection was obvious thanks to the fellowship that is enjoyed each day here on the forum.  I can absolutely say that everyone that extended their hands in friendship are friends for life.

Here are some pictures that Pat and I took.  I'm sure that others will add theirs.

Just got back a couple hours ago.  Had a great time and lots of good fellowship. Raider Bill put us in stitches with his story of the intruder goose that scared him so bad the goose ....  Well, you will just have to listed to his story sometime.
The pig was fall of the bone tender and full of flavor.  The baked beans had an interesting flavor this year.  Whoever made the blueberry desert needs to make it again next year.  Oh man, it was good.  Chris brought his accent from Australia.  It was fun listening to him talk about the Mozzies they have.
I sure brought lots of great memories back home.
Thanks MM for the pictures.
Thanks Jeff and Tammy for another great pigroast.

That wasn't lemon aid in that bottle. Meadows Miller never heard of Margaritas before :o :o

He has now!!!! ;D ;D 8) 8)  I didn't want to send him back down under without sampling a national treasure. 

Once again it was a GREAT time! Jeff and Burlcraft introduced me to Jay's Sporting goods store!  5 acres of guns thousands of guns! They even have a complete collection of Winchester's , fishing, hunting, camping, Army surplus including deuce and a half's, jeeps, gen-sets big I mean big tents............ oh man this place is something else.

Food, What can you say...... It doesn't get any better than the Pig Roast food! I would point out the blueberry desert, roasted pig, beans, Logrite Tammy's brownies, Ice cream, everything was DELISH!!! DELISH I tell you!!! 8)

Seeing Members I've met before and meeting Great new Friends what can I say!

A few observations,

WDH [Danny] No matter how much he tries to play the I'm just a dumb uncultured, County Boy is one of the smartest Guys you will ever meet. The Man know Trees.....

One with Wood, [Robert] and Dang are the same person minus the natty light and cigarette :D

Magicman is not camera shy,

Magic Woman has a beautiful twinkle in her eyes.

Pigman is a bit shy but you can get him to talk if you work at it a bit :D

Mark your calenders for next year folks!

This was my first FF Pig roast, hopefully the first of many. It was great to meet so many forumites, to be able to put a face to a handle. I got there kinda late as I had to work saturday, but I still met many people. I am very glad that I decided to make the drive up there. When I first got there I saw OWW sitting on the porch, at first I thought it was DanG. I remember going to ask someone if it was him. Jeff took me over and introduced me to MM, OWW, WDH, Piney woods and I think Pigman, so I knew it wasn't DanG. Jeff and Tammy did a fantastic job setting things up and keeping things going. A big thanks to them. The best thing besides meeting everyone was the great stories, WDH told a few as did Meadows Miller. Heard a few from Cedarman, Raider Bill ( yes I heard the goose story), MagicMan,Furby, and Dan Shade. I'm sure I heard many more Just can't remember all the names. Thanks again to Jeff and Tammy. Thanks to all of you who shared a story or just an introduction, in getting to know you. Bill

W. Monger,

It was great to meet you.  Unfortunately, you came after I had my fit of picture taking so I did not get you on film.  Missed Furby too, but Magicman captured him nicely.

When I looked across the yard and saw that person with the long beard, I first thought it was DanG, but I knew that my friend was not able to make it.  Then, I thought it must be an alien impersonating him.  But then, I realized that Swamp Donkey was not going to be there too, so that pretty much eliminated the alien angle.  Turned out it was a retired Robert.

Bushed !! 2 full 12 hour days of driving to get home from the pig roast. It was definitely worth it. Jeff and Tammy are super hosts, even to the point of cobbling up an imprompto birthday party for Mrs piney. Thanks again. Stopped at a truck stop near St Louis and watched the fuel pump roll up to $241, OUCH. The RV is unloaded, but everything is in a pile on the dinning table. Pics and video will follow when I dig the cameras out of the pile.

Since the Pig Roast Pat and I have been taking day trips and seeing some of the sights of Northern Michigan.  Monday was the Traverse City area in Northwestern Michigan.  Yesterday was Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island.  Today was the Eastern tip of the UP.

This afternoon we had a very nice visit with Jeff at the cabin.

I figured I was looking more haggard then I do after 5 hours of brush hogging trails.  :)   Thanks for taking the time to come visit. I enjoyed it. :)  After you left I got my birthday present out and went down to my property and cleared some deadfalls from some of my trails. While sawing I had a birch top crash down about 40 yards from me in the wind. I decided then and there to take the rest of the day off as it was 7:00 PM anyhow.  :D

Thanks for posting that video. Great to see those attending and the pig, the bit of rain, and the many who helped Jeff put on the 2011 pig roast.

Today, had a surprise when I showed up at the Rox for lunch. There sat OWW and Linnea on their way through WI. Was great to see them again. A good thing I had the chance to see OWW's pic on the cabin stoop in the rockin chair, or I'd a thought DanG, I don't know that guy holding out his hand. But then couldn't miss pretty Miss Linnea by his side.
