2012 Forestry Forum Pigroast RSVP Thread!

[jPell]

jPell,maybe someday I'll pick you up on the way by.  :D

Be careful... I just may take you up on that!!

[thecfarm]

That's the whole idea,jpell. I really would like to go at least once.

The weather outlook is starting to take a turn towards the not so good. It's still a ways a way, but it looks like we may have to put up the dreaded canopies. I hate to do it, because we have some very nice oaks and maples in our yard that give a great amount of shade, and are a whole lot more pleasant to look at.

[OneWithWood]

Much easier to deploy the canopies before the event instead of during a rain shower.  ;)

[Jeff]

My excuse for that is, there was, according to the local weatherman, zero chance of rain that day. :D

[sandhills]

Jeff I wish you could send that down here for a few days we'd both be tickled, on the other hand if your weather is anything like ours a 50% chance of rain is a guaranteed 99.9% chance it won't  :-\.

[WDH]

Rain was always an issue in Wood Procurement.  Rain was a Wood Procurement Forester's Moriarty. 

One of the heavy breathers in the company that I used to work for would say to us when we got in trouble and had to pay more for to get wood, "It rains on the just and the unjust."

[Cedarman]

To paraphase WDH.  It don't rain on the just and unjust.

[Meadows Miller]

   We will head North this afternoon.      

[clww]

Drive careful, and watch out for those that don't, Lynn.

[Jeff]

I've had a few more people say they are coming, that have not said so on the RSVP.  If you get a chance to come, COME! You do not have to RSVP to attend. The reason for the RSVP topic is to get a rough idea on what to expect. Its also to encourage others to attend.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

   We will head North this afternoon.      

When the campers rock'n.....don't come knock'n!  or    Ya'll drive safe Magic!

Regrets...actually, two months ago we were planning a trip up your way, even to Canada. That was before the drought became so serious, and...before I decided to have my gall-bladder removed a few days ago.

doing A-OK, so have a great roast, maybe next year!

[Brad_bb]

Excellent news, Jon.  Looking forwad to seeing you again.  8)

[Raider Bill]

Are you bringing the new Lady?

[Weekend_Sawyer]

You guys are great, can't wait to get there.

Bill, unfortunately no. She can't make the hard run. She is a delicate flower and needs gentle handling. Yea, I don't know what she's doing with me either!  :D

Jon

[Jeff]

First arrivals are here! And probably the furthest drive. James and his friend Danial are here from Northern Washington state!
