It's Harold's fault.

[Bro. Noble]

I don't give a DanG  :

[etat]

I'm personally IGNORING yall until yall decide to come clean!!!!!

I'm thinking about pretending I don't give a DanG, right along with Bro. Noble.

 ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

[DanG]

BigDogpc snores.

[etat]

  (I'm still ignoring yall!) 8

[Bigdogpc]

DanG is tellin' tales...I may snore some but he generates hurricanes!  The walls of the trailer could be seen reverberatin' from his snores!!!!

I can't speak for anybody else but I feel sorry for all ya'll that didn't make it.  I had a great time!!!!!

[DanG]

That ain't snorin'!  I got sawdust in my blood, and I was just dreamin'. :  Sawing in my sleep. Yep, that's what it was.

[Tom]

Better not ignore too much.  We're just full-a secrets that somebody's gonna spill accidentally one of these times. Like Harold forgittin' the hog ........and when he tried to butcher it with a spoon...and Ed spillin' soft drinks all over the floor .......and breakin' the home mizer ......and Dang runnin' over the cord to his winch and when he broke his controller 'n BigdogPC runnin' off with all that propriatory information in his hip pocket 'n Harold shoing off some of his gold coin collectiont to rvrdvr and listen'n to rvrdvr talk about all the treasure hunters he and Harold both know and want'n to see the collection of artifacts that rvrdvr forgot to bring 'n his new Oscar 'n the wood he bought for shed to put over it  ...an I ain't sayin' nothing 'bout the chair I broke   Somebody might mention 'bout those party crashers with the vertical home-built mill down the road that came with all them women and ate all the food and finally gave up on convertin' DanG .......and those slabs of sweet gum DanG stole from Harold's wood pile and the dump truck side board that Ed hid under the wood pile.......and that golf cart that ran off with a half ton of live oak. .......but I'm not sayin nuthin'.   Nope!   Nuthin'!  Yer gonna have to pry it outta those other guys.  Terri might let it slip about everybody scarfin' up on her baked beans and 'tater salad 'n I don't know who made those chocolate chip cookies....and nobody saw DanG slavin' o'er the bucket of cole slaw........ but I ain't sain' nuthin.

[Tom]

OK, I'll slip
             this'n in but
             don't tell I
              did it

Harold had to wear that hat 'cause he washed his hair off

[johnjbc]

Don't worry guys it will all come out 8) 8). They just can't keep from bragin. I can picture them setting holding their breath trying to keep from spillin the beans :D ;D

[Tom]

Ha
Ha! :D :D :D

[swampy]

 8) Hey, don't forget about us ladies now---------we had a good time too & we ain't talkin either.
Even the kids had a good time .
Our daughter Elizabeth made the choc.chip cookies, she was the one drivin around in the golf car knockin down trees 4 the guys to saw up. And our son Timothy was more than happy to help clean up ALL the food(if u know what I mean)& he ain't talking neither because we bribed him with food  :D.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
All in all-------------- everyone had a good time.
THE MRS. ;)

[Bigdogpc]

DanG........it was FUN!!!!!  YeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaa

I personally liked FDH's eagle and his fancy chain but...I ain't sayin nuthin!!!!!

'course the DanG winch job...well......never mind

How 'bout them sporks????? :D

I only have one question for the folks whut was there...whut was the mystery log?  I missed the opening...

[Tom]

Aw-w-w man-n-n!

You should have seen it. It was a semi-spalted sweet gum hunk, probably close to 40 inches at one point.  DanG stole a bit of it from Deadheader.  Swampy helped him put it in the truck.

They didn't know it when they started but it was a crotch.  Some of the most beeyoootiful stuff came out of it.  The center will make a great table  The ends were split pretty bad and had black and grey stain in it but the middle was nice.  It had some flat-head borers in it too.  They won't last long now that it has been opened up. Timothy hit Ed in the side of the head with one that was as big as your thumb and almost knocked him down.  Ed had been trying to get Timothy to eat it. :D

[Bro. Noble]

I could have gussed---------you guys just fussed and ate and picked on each other,  and ate ,  and argued,  and ate :

DanG,  I wish I coulda been there ;D

[rvrdivr]

Just want to say thanks to you guys for inviting me this weekend. It's good to finally put some faces to the people I've been hearing from on this forum. Even if you are an ugly bunch! Just kidding!!! Just some good ole boys.
I wish I could have stayed longer but I still had fun. We watched Deadheader and friends cut up some logs with his home miser and I picked away at Tom's brain with lots of qeustions. I even got to talk treasure hunting with Deadheader which almost put the rest of the guys to sleep. Even got to meet the infamous DanG. Not a bad weekend at all!
Thanks Ya'll
Brian

[swampy]

Tried to get someone to go after gators and or snakes but no takers ;D ;D. Soooooo had to go kill the hog instead. It was Sooooo fresh it tried to jump off the grill. ;D ;D Mums the word 8)

[chet]

So what yur really tellin' us is that you boys ate hot dogs.   ;D

[Fla._Deadheader]

YUP, one NICE 100# hot hog. ;D ;D ;D

[DanG]

I sure wish I had remembered my hip boots. :-/  Y'all never heard the like of the absolute stream of BS.  I thought we wuz gonna hafta CPR Tom when he started tellin' tales of him and Charlie, when they was younguns. :D :D :D  The stories were great, but seein' Tom get that tickled was something to behold!

I really enjoyed Harold's family. What a great bunch of folks!  His wife is a delightful lady with a killer sense of humor. Terri is just like Ed, only purtier. She listened attentively to all the sawmill and logging talk, and hardly said a word, but she is about 3 steps ahead of everybody. She can handle her end of a 3x8x12'  live oak beam, too.  Ed's following in his Dad's footsteps, with a lovely, bright wife and 2 nice, polite stepkids. Elizabeth and Timothy are the sort of kids that tend to restore your faith, if you know what I mean. Now, if we could just convince Harold that trees also grow on land..... :   ;D

Rvrdvr (Brian) came by for a little while. What a nice young fella! Wish ya could've stayed longer, Brian. You make a nice addition to our group, here. Glad to have ya aboard the board board.  Good luck with that new mill! 8)

Me & Bigdog set up talkin' till after 2am, Fri. nite. Dave, I hope you came away feeling like you have a new friend. I know I do.

Spent quite a bit of time with Tom. What can one say about that? 8) 8) 8) 8)

Saw the Home-Mizer at work. Just got one thing to say. If Harold or Ed tell ya anything about building a mill, ya need to listen to'em!  Nuff said!

[DanG]

Oh yeah! I fergot to say anything about the food.  Tom talked about the baked beans and tater salad Terri made, but he didn't mention the cauldron of beans Gael sent along with him, nor the chips n dip. Tom, I gotta get a recipe for that dip!

Terri's beans were in a big ol' pot...looked like about 3 gallons of'em, and Tom's were in a big bowl, which might be better described as a vat. I kept going back and forth, trying to decide which was better. Later on, after me and Tom and Harold were the only ones left on the porch................... ;D

[redpowerd]

was there a song and dance?
cant miss a party without some in the face bluegrass!
he harw
he he he harw

[Bigdogpc]

Yes indeedy, this was an event to behold.  Let there be no doubt that this was an informative and fun place to be.  I came away soooo inspired I started disassembling my old boat trailer when I got home.  I'm gonna use the steel to make a few improvements to my mill...I saw so many boat parts that was workin so good on the "homemizer" I figured I might as well start with the trailer and work up... :D

DanG, first chance I get I'm gonna be callin to come see ya.  I want to see the famous pine that limbed your roof.

Tom is a walking wealth of knowledge and tales.  Any time listening to him is time well spent.

'course I figger any folks involved in braile diving ain't got both oars in the water.  Somehow or other applying the logic of , if it moves it ain't a log, doesn't appeal to me.

DanG, I wish I coulda seen that gum...

I guess my next question is will this be an annual event?
