Out with the old & in with the new

Made it up to Wills today and brought home me a new helper. 48" Log-Rite. Now she has to teach me some new tricks. Oh and she is 100% USA made. Real nice construction. bg

DanG · February 09, 2012, 09:46:38 PM

Oh yeah! You gonna love that!

Magicman · February 09, 2012, 09:58:08 PM

Bill, I really found out on that last Cypress sawing job just how much better a Logrite is than whatever is in second place. You will love that tool and throw rocks at the others. Congratulations !!!

Bill,

You will go from eating bacon rind and corn meal mush to eating grits with country ham, red eye gravy, and eggs over easy with biscuits and maple syrup from New York (the syrup, not the biscuits) :D.

(NOTE: The Northerners, especially the cfarm and Coon, might want to substitute something else for the word "grits", like "corned beef hash" or "hash browns" or some such as is your taste and proclivity. It won't change the equation much, just close the gap a little

).

WDH, thats more of a step up than I can handle. Sounds good though. bg

WDH · February 09, 2012, 10:33:35 PM

Oh, that is the step-up that you have gotten yourself into. It will be the next best thing to sliced bread.

Congratulations Bill!

Didn't they have GREEN so it would match your mill? You should have stopped by or called. I probably couldn't have gone today but I need to learn where WM in mt vernon mo is at. PC

Paul I figured that you would have put me into offbearing that lt40. Was in a hurry, but I did honk on my way by. Check this link to Wills. Its west of Mt. Vernon and about a mile north of the interstate. Its in the country. bg

Not a good day!!! Another thread talking about putting Yankee made Maple syrup on grits. You guys keep that up and it will be like Ash trees. Can't ship it out of the state. ;D

Magicman · February 10, 2012, 08:45:34 AM

Bill, if you run short of cant hooks, I have a spare that I could send you. It does not have an Ash handle, but it does have a handle. ;D

How 'bout a Hickory handle. ;D

DanG WDH, why wood a man want maple syrup when he can have genuwine cane syrup??? When I was a teenager, during the middle of the last centry, my parrents used to get it from Mister Jim Land, whose cane grew so crooked you had to twist yore biscuits before you could sop them in the syrup...

Hey Magicman,
That looks like my hickory handle, well just as bad! Bark and all, they are NO comparison to a Logrite!

Magicman · February 10, 2012, 02:19:46 PM

Yup, they are definitely relatives. :D

Bill Gaiche · February 10, 2012, 04:33:25 PM

Hey my old hook has a hickory handle also. Just not very straight nor as strong as my new LogRite. I am kinda confused at how this turned to food. But you gotta eat and that part I like. Syrup of any kind on grits will have to be tested in the south sooner than later to see if its a good thing or not.
MM, I need to learn my new hook before I take on another.
PC, your hook looks a little blue. Did the new mill cause this. bg

Ah Bill, one good hook needs another. ;D

paul case · February 10, 2012, 05:50:34 PM

Blue from lack of use? na I still use it some just not as hard.
I bought mine from ez at the ozark fall farmfest in Springfield,MO and it was cheaper than WM or Logrite has ever advertised. It is all nicked up and has this interesting notch in the end of the handle now. I dunno but I suspect it wasn't all the way down in the end of the mill 1 time. I guess you could call that a theft deterant system I got going. PC
