Usually every year we have a contest at Christmas. Lat year, I was in the hospital at this time, so, we didn't have one, which I am deeply disgusted with myself over. $:-\$

HOWEVER

This year we are going to have one, and it is starting NOW!. Most of you know, that have participated before, I can make them diabolically difficult. Well, you won't be disappointed this year if that is what you are expecting and looking forward to.

This years Prize winner will have His/Her choice of either a 48" or 60" Logrite Tools Peavey or Cant Hook, Compliments of Logrite Tools.

Prizes have been added for second and third prize winners as well. Each will receive a Bluecreeper value pack from www.bluecreeper.com !

What you have to do:
1. You have to unscramble groups of Forestry Forum Member names.

2. You take the first letter of each member name to form a word for that group.

3. Repeat for each group to get 8 words.

4. Use those 8 words to complete a Forestry Forum web address
EXAMPLE http://www.forestryforum.com/this is how you use your eight words

5. You now go to that address. If you go to the correct address, you will know it right away, because you will get specific instructions on how to send me your entry for the drawing. If it is not the right address, you won't be able to continue.

6. You will need to be logged in as a Forestry Forum member to successfully send your entry. Guests, now is the time to get registered!

7. Your entry must be received by noon EST, December 22nd. We will draw a winner from those entries on Christmas Eve.

8. If you live outside of the U.S., and win, you will be responsible for shipping costs of your Logrite Cant Hook

Hints:

Spaces, or special characters are included where they would normally be in the username
No capitals will be used in any of the answers, even if the username normally has capital letters.
Only members that have been active on the Forum as recently as December 1 have been used to create the puzzle.
Some are really easy. Start with the easy ones, and use those for clues to solve the rest.

HAVE FUN AND MERRY CHRISTMAS! I's Say Ho Ho Ho, but a diabolical maniacal laugh would be more fitting.

jueston · « **Reply #11 on:** December 11, 2011, 09:22:46 pm »

i bet the problem i had was the same one, i figured out the words and then i couldn't figure out what to do with them.... but after spending hours going though the endless list of names, i wasn't going to give up... and i got it eventually....

forestry mick · « **Reply #12 on:** December 11, 2011, 09:23:52 pm »

Figuring out the 8 words was

Figuring out where to stuff them is $:-\$

Dan_Shade · « **Reply #16 on:** December 11, 2011, 10:51:03 pm »

you gotta use the spaces

isawlogs · « **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2011, 10:55:06 pm »

I even tried translating them .. Dat did no good

I got er done though I'm in

Radar67 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2011, 12:22:07 am »

I got this one in about a half hour. It is a bit of a challenge to get going though.

thecfarm · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2011, 09:12:48 am »

I could be outside,but I'm trying to solve the address part. I think I have the 8 words part,guess I have to read it 22 times.

JV · « **Reply #20 on:** December 12, 2011, 09:22:42 am »

I stumbled through the words and finally figured them out, then hit a brick wall entering. Then the light at the end of the tunnel shown and I stumbled through again.

AvT · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2011, 09:25:37 am »

Im sure I had the answer before all the "grrrrrs".... I think it may have been a problem with the website or I was making some stupid typo that wasnt registering in my brain

Jeff · « **Reply #22 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:13:42 am »

There is no trouble with the website, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead and think that.

AvT · « **Reply #23 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:35:52 am »

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... actually all I am trying to say is there is no puzzle within the puzzle... you got the 8 words then you have it made

Magicman · « **Reply #24 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:50:24 am »

I had the answers and was putting them in the right place, but there was one small detail that I was overlooking. Anyway, now I am an official entry.

Dodgy Loner · « **Reply #25 on:** December 12, 2011, 12:16:13 pm »

Magicman, I have seen your stash of LogRites and I can confirm that you don't need anymore

I am officially entered. And I know what I want for Christmas!

Magicman · « **Reply #26 on:** December 12, 2011, 02:05:53 pm »

Whaduyamean don't need any more

I could then retire that last peavey.

Jeff · « **Reply #27 on:** December 12, 2011, 03:23:27 pm »

mad murdock · « **Reply #28 on:** December 12, 2011, 04:15:31 pm »

Thanks for putting this together Jeff. That was a fun exercise. Made you think a bit, but definitely doable!

8)Thank you Logrite and Blue Creeper!! Merry Christmas to all!
Magic Man, let me know which thrift store you donate your old cant hook to, if you win, so's can go there and buy it up quick

Gary_C · « **Reply #29 on:** December 12, 2011, 04:17:42 pm »

Jeff, does the forum software allow you to see the failed attempts to get to the right door?

I'll admit to a few including a first attempt to see if there was a dropdown list of previous tries.

Jeff · « **Reply #30 on:** December 12, 2011, 04:56:22 pm »

I could find the errors in the log if I wanted to dig for it. I don't want to dig.

I'm only interested in the correct answer.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #31 on:** December 12, 2011, 05:33:11 pm »

Tough fella, when he's holding all the answers. Make'm sweat.

thecfarm · « **Reply #32 on:** December 12, 2011, 05:45:31 pm »

Finally.

Now that it's dark out I figured it out. I was just about to ask WDH for a hint. I even would of ate some grits for a hint.

isawlogs · « **Reply #33 on:** December 12, 2011, 07:13:05 pm »

Oh my god .. he would of ate GRITS .....

You wanted in bad .

Radar67 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 12, 2011, 07:15:00 pm »

I would have given you the answer for video proof you had eat some grits.

WDH · « **Reply #35 on:** December 12, 2011, 08:12:24 pm »

theCfarm will do anything for a Logrite

.

Magicman · « **Reply #36 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:47:30 pm »

Maybe he is a closet Grits eater and is using this as a disguise.

thecfarm · « **Reply #37 on:** December 13, 2011, 05:25:45 am »

I only said I WOULD of.

I figured it out so my moment of weakness is gone.Too cold for grits here now. Been below freezing 3 nights in a row. I think that is the first time this season. A real warm "winter".

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #38 on:** December 13, 2011, 06:19:21 am »

Some people don't believe the almanac, but it's been right so far.

Too cold for grits here now.

When I worked the "graveyard shift" a local restaurant would have their grits cooked about 4:00 AM. There was nothing better on a cold night than a hot bowl of grits.

thecfarm · « **Reply #40 on:** December 13, 2011, 07:55:02 am »

Did not know you guys had below freezing temps for 3 nights in a row. I guess I'll have to wait for "Too cold for grits" when it gets down into the single digits and stays there for a week.

Tom L · « **Reply #43 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:14:46 pm »

diabolical is right,
I may just go buy another cant hook so I can stop trying to figure this out.

Tom L · « **Reply #44 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:40:30 pm »

a haaa. I just got it,

I'm in

thanks for the chance

doctorb · « **Reply #45 on:** December 13, 2011, 06:04:30 pm »

I'm in. Easily solved once you don't overthink it!

Merry Christmas everybody. And, yes, I need that hook!

thank you Logrite and Bluecreeper!

WDH · « **Reply #46 on:** December 13, 2011, 08:36:52 pm »

Doc,

If you win you either have to buy a sawmill or send the logrite to me because if I win a set of scalpels, I will surely send them to you

.

Jeff · « **Reply #47 on:** December 13, 2011, 08:47:42 pm »

Be careful or Doc may donate a free lobotomy as a 4th prize.

On second thought, maybe we could be better suited with a lobotomy reversal. That is a win win, because you have no clue it didn't work.

POSTONLT40HD · « **Reply #48 on:** December 13, 2011, 08:50:15 pm »

In this contest, I came up with WWW.ISAWLOGS IN THE MAGICDONKEYSWAMP.

Jeff.......

Why will it not go through?

?

Where's my LOGRITE

??

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #49 on:** December 13, 2011, 09:22:57 pm »

Now that's interesting.

WDH · « **Reply #50 on:** December 13, 2011, 09:28:38 pm »

Scary.

Coon · « **Reply #51 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:07:11 pm »

I am the one that needs that lobotomy....

..... between that and me very close to giving my computer one a few minutes ago I really need to stop letting people get into my head so easy.

It is way too simple to get into this pea I have for a brain let alone figure out the simplicity of a simple contest.

WDH · « **Reply #52 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:18:20 pm »

A bowl of hot grits would calm you down and take your mind off the computer and the contest

.

Radar67 · « **Reply #53 on:** December 14, 2011, 01:41:48 am »

How many entries so far Jeff?

Coon · « **Reply #54 on:** December 14, 2011, 03:34:23 am »

I think a hot bowl of grits would make my blood pressure rise up to boiling point and I don't think that would be a good scene cuz the lil pea brain might pop like a zit.

thecfarm · « **Reply #55 on:** December 14, 2011, 05:20:36 am »

WDH,good one.

doctorb · « **Reply #56 on:** December 14, 2011, 10:35:42 am »

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. I'm just sayin.....

nas · « **Reply #57 on:** December 14, 2011, 06:15:18 pm »

got it with some help from my kids

I think I might need the reverse lobotomy more than the cant hook or the blue creeper

I would take a pound of grits if they were offered as a 5th prize. I like grits in the morning.

Carpenter · « **Reply #67 on:** December 21, 2011, 01:57:04 am »

Did my entry go through? I have to ask because I was a little rushed when I put it in. I never would have solved the thing myself, I got the easy ones and was stumped. It's a good thing my wife likes word puzzles and is very smart and beautiful (she solved it for me), because I really want a logrite cant hook for christmas... Please, Please, Please. You get the idea.

Wow, I never really thought I would win when I entered I knew a lot of other smart people on this forum figured out the riddle too.

I got an e-mail from jeff with a link in it, and I thought “that’s strange, why would jeff send me a link unless it was because I won the Christmas contest… but there’s no way…” and when the page loaded I saw my name…

I want to thank the sponsors for helping the forum with this contest, and wish a merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!

And I’ll take the 60” peavey I’ve always believed the bigger the better…

A dandy piece of support equipment.

thecfarm · « **Reply #96 on:** January 14, 2012, 07:38:53 am »

Looks good. Is that your piece of land by water or a field?

Edit,got my answer from another thread. Good to help out your parents.

jueston · « **Reply #97 on:** January 14, 2012, 07:46:10 pm »

yea that piece of property is not quite in my budget. $:-\$

but i love cutting down trees so my parents know who to call when the time comes, and the my brother uses wood to heat his house so i cut it up and truck it over to his house.
there were a couple trees that fell over towards the water in the fall, it sure was easy to cut them now when i could walk out on the water, i thought it was going to look like swamp logging with me out in the water cutting up fallen trees.... or maybe stradling the log cutting off the end of it, that would be interested if the butt log decided to tip back up from the weight of the roots and took me with it...
