I couldn't pick me out of any of the pics but my dad with the torquose hat is standing behind Jim Brown while he demonstrates the LT 70. It was good to meet everyone. I got the mill bug and  came home and milled a few red oak logs this evening.

[Jeff]

either that was one big honkin poster or some awful small printing.

[ToddC]

It was really small print. They had a magnifying glass there to use.

[Bibbyman]

ToddC. Then we probably talked.  I don't think I missed talking to too many people there.  

Here is another crop of that picture showing better the people behind JB.

Jeff.  the poster was regular poster board size or maybe a hair bigger. The names were in alphabetical order by first names. The first name was Aaron something or nother... Then I forget after that.

[ARKANSAWYER]

A Good Time!   A VERY GOOD TIME!
 I had a very good time up at the WM show and got to talk to lots of folks and even got a few extra parts for Wanda.
 Bibby was a busy talking when he was not doing what he does best.   And very well he does it.

 Got to talk with ToddC and Terry and had a good visit.  ToddC bought the TH and is becoming quite the hand at it and only lives about 70 miles from me.
 The print was very small on the poster but I kicked my bi-focals in and found my name.

  I am afraid that we did not get out of Grizzly.com as cheap as Terry did with a "T" shirt.  We had to work on it but we got that shaper in the back of that mini van.  Renee had me wire it up today and we wasted some very nice wood, but had a good time doing it.

Hi Bibbyman,
Yup, the new LT-40HYDG28FI ,is resting at a new home in Olathe Co.
925 miles my house to Mt. Vernon.
Waxed my ski's for nuthin,cause there aint no Mountian in Mt. Vernon. HA!!!
Will lives in a  beautiful country setting, Mo. is gorgeous.
Really enjoyed our visit, sorry for not having more time to visit with more people.
Glad to pick ARKENCYCLOPEDIA'S brain for a while. Really glad his wife could't find a 9/16 boxed end wrench in her purse, when he asked her for one. Cause my Fuel injected 28Hp. would have been stripped, and mounted on Wanda by 8AM sunday morning. You darn sure wanna keep an eye on this guy.
The guys that work for Will in the Resharp shop are a great source of information, I left with a good foundation for getting the best sawn wood, for the least amount of steel. Plus thier cool guys.
Thanks Will, for hosting a top notch Sawmill Shindig, Thanks to the Forum Folks for everything.

ARKENCYCLOPEDIA?

I guess I got some pretty useful info from him at one time too. He led me to some of the finest Apple Cobbler in Arkansas
