My new client and Quarry update

[teakwood]

thanks Firewoodjoe, i'm with Barbender, you are doing great. if i remember your posts right you came from nothing and have grown a lot, i'm very impressed by you success. I have no idea of you guys market but from what i read here it is mighty difficult to even survive as a logger and anybody who is stashing cash in such a business is just outstanding. keep the good work up.

Thanks guys. It's always a struggle. I hope me and the mill can keep
It rolling. @teakwood whatever happened to that cat forwarder used for teak? There's a 2015 in the UP but I don't think that one will work out anyways.

[teakwood]

It's always a struggle

Nobody said it was easy! 

I think the forwarder broke down and was never repaired because of lack of parts. they bought a new 6 wheel Welte from Germany.

My entire family was here for two weeks, we had a great time.


i dressed up my nephews with quarry shirts, i told them if they don't have quarry shirts they couldn't drive the excavator. the little one has only met me once in his life and still has a hard time to remember all 3 names of his uncles.

I'm called "uncle excavator" now  :D :D



this one hopefully will be something similar as his uncle


Oh, and i got married ;D, was kind a quick decision because i don't think the whole family will be together again in a short time. at least now i have somebody to give my quarry to if i pass away. :D

Will you guys go on a honeymoon to the Alps?  Or maybe a ski trip to Chile?  Let us help you spend your money!

[Firewoodjoe]

Thanks guys for all the good wishes.
No honeymoon planed, we had holidays for 16 days with my family and went to beaches and see volcanos. now we need to work again, quarry is full tilt right now. My worker had to do all the quarry present time and at night he slept on the farm because we don't want to let our house alone at night. so the poor guy worked 24/7 for 14 days, he was done when i got back, had to give him some days off so he could be with his family. :D His paycheck made him smile again.
We will see when a slow time comes, pack our bags and go to Mexico spontaneously, it's on our planes for this year.

[nativewolf]

mexico?  I mean the food is really really good.  It's a hip place to visit.  Pyramids and old temples are neat.  But volcanoes, beaches...you have.    That's not nearly enough money.  If you wait til November, go ski in Utah or California for a week.  Wait...has she ever seen snow?  Have you ever been skiing or snow boarding on powder?  So much fun.  @firefighter ontheside  aren't you a snow boarder?  Lets get Ramon up to the USA for some fun in the snow then we'll have an excuse to go to CR.  Again Ramon we're just trying to help (help you spend your money).

Glad to hear the quarry did not slow down, I was afraid the wet season might have put a dent on sales.

[Ron Scott]

Well done!

[firefighter ontheside]

I have never been on a snowboard.  I've been skiing since 1987.    I recommend skiing.
Congrats to you Ramon on your nuptials.

[GRANITEstateMP]

get you guys to the mountains in winter and say goodbye to Uncle Excavator, hello Uncle Snowcat!
