As a direct (or indirect) result of the Pig Roast, we had Piggy Roast visitors today.

 



Enjoyed joining Robert and Linnea for a tour through parts of the Forest Products Laboratory this morning, and at Da Rox where we met up with Burlkraft.

 Had a great time.

Fantastic job on those bowls buys. I can see Jeff handing out a bowl of nuts to the mixed crowd (trying to make a joke here). Makes them taste much better you know.  ;D

Well we made it through the pig-roast-do-the UP-Wisconsin-Minnesota-Wisconsin-Illinois thing safe and sound.  Put 2010 miles on the truck and never stopped for fuel  8)

Many thanks to Jeff and Tammy for the splendid hosting and to all the forumites who braved the high cost of fuel to turn out.  It was a pleasure to meet old friends and make new ones.  :)

One of the high spots of our adventure was meeting up with Beenthere for an informative tour of the wood products lab in Madison, WI.  Boy, would I like to play with some of those toys  :D
After the tour Linnea and I traveled to the storied town of Roxbury and joined Beenthere and Burlcraft at the exotic Roxbury Inn for what is shaping up to be an annual event.  Great food and great company  :)

We got home this past Thursday just now getting time to post.  Haven't really had time to even look through my pics to see what needs to be posted.  It was a great time visiting with everyone again and meeting new people.

We would like to thank the sponsors for their donations, Jeff and Tammy for letting us stay there this year and hosting the piggy roast and for everyone that helped behind the scenes.

We all had a great time.

Haven't even had time to check out the blades from Wood-Mizer yet, but they are here
Thank You Wood-Mizer[/b]

Looks like I may have to make 4 cheesecakes next year even with the smaller crowd 3 wasn't quite enough.
