Hey Buzz, when you going to post that pic of Harold

Cedarman, I am assuming you remember some months back when you were wondering about some strange looking cedar logs you ocassionally get. I promised to ship and example of this stuff, but never got around to it, so I sent it by Kirk.

I'm not at all sure exactly what it is, but it could be Atlantic White Cedar, (chamaecyparis thyoides) which is supposedly the only cedar native to Fla besides ERC. The trees look like a big tall flagpole with an ERC perched on top. The locals refer to that example as "white juniper" but they also speak of "red juniper", of which I haven't had any.

Man, you guys seemed to have had a good trip. I have really enjoyed this thread. I am really interested in that mill with the belt problem. What is that? I love machines and designing them.

DanG · January 15, 2006, 10:27:45 PM

I guess I neglected to tell ya'll what happened to cause my belt problem. The cable that pulls up the board return bar broke and wrapped itself around the 6-gang pulley that run's the edger blades. This dislodged one of the belts and it tried to displace its neighbor belt, which in turn interfered with the next one, etc. I ended up with the # 4 belt in the #5 slot, upside down, and the #5 belt was on top of the #6 belt, with about 3 twists in it, so there was a lot of tension on it. I could see how it could be straightened out, but even though I have a quite respectable wingspan, I couldn't work both ends at the same time. Once they got here, Buzz rotated the shaft, Kirk pried on one end, and I on the other, and we had it straightened out in short order. ;D Indeed, a good sized octopus could have done it by himself, and still scratched his butt and his head at the same time. :

:D :D

Hey Buzz,how about some more pics and stories of the trip eh?

Buzz-sawyer · January 17, 2006, 03:46:39 PM

Well, I thought youd never ask!

One good one comes to mind right quickly.
As I was helping myself to snooping around DanGs fine former tobacco farm,

a pack of unrully curs approached at a speed you would not think comfortable for a southern dog..near mach 5......
They vehemently voiced thier dissaproval of my snoopaging on thier territory.....and growled thier dissaproval.
Well being that I have been grits free my whole life,

(in fact, with the exception of one youthful indescretion, I am proud to be grits virgin.)
It was time to act fast , and think fast or else,

Now being thaty I had abstained from the grits all this time I was clear of mind and sound of body, therefore it was quite easy for me to piece together a plan to out fox these k-9 avengers of the south.
though I had but sparse seconds to avoid the vengence of these hounds of heck...I acted instantly.

I immediately sat on a pile of un cut white cedar logs. (of which I did procure a sample out of DanGs stash)
After becoming seated, I did the most clever thing I have devised in as many a day as I can recall.
I extended the spent beer container in my manly northern hand outward toward the protectors of the farm , who after taking a quick wiff..............non chalantly walked away quiping,"Oh its just DanG!"

Paul_H · January 17, 2006, 03:54:09 PM

I suppose you can back up that likely story with at least one picture,right? ;)

You found a store that accepts empty beer cans as payment!!!!!

Hey Ma, start a packin', we're movin' back to Florida. 8) 8) 8) 8)

:D :D :D :D :D

Sorry to disrupt such a serious & somber story with my injection of jocularity, but it just tickled my humurous bone. :D

Buzz-sawyer · January 17, 2006, 04:17:19 PM

Murf if in fact your speculation on the transitory value of spent beer recepticles is true..........

Dan may be the hier of a new brewing dynasty!
