Merry Christmas and Hello from a Canadian newbie

[little-guy]

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas,just wanted to introduce myself and say that you regulars on here have a wealth of information that is just great to a new sawmiller like me ...
I used to work in a big commercial mill years ago up here in B.C.,luved the smell of wood so much that have gotten back into milling as a hobby(hopefully more later),Have gotten a Norwood lumberlite 24( that I have now put a trailer frame under it)and this mill just fits nice with my 743 Bobcat that somehow got grapples made for it (ha,ha).
Like i say ..its a hobby now but hopefully I can find a little nitch for myself up here  and make it more fulltime ...
Best to everyone ....
Cec

Welcome to the Forestry  Forum!

It's always good to have another sawyer on board and I'm sure you will find plenty of friends here, bucket loads of information, and quite a few other canuk's here too  :D

[leweee]

Welcome to the forum Cec. ;D

Great to see another Canuck here If it's about wood it's on here.Just use the search tab at the top of the page to find lots of reading. If you read enough topics here you will find that food is the next favourite topic. :P Enjoy

[Tom]

Welcome, "Little Man".

You'll have to excuse Texas Ranger from time to time.  He probably thinks British Columbia is a North Western County in Texas.   :D

[little-guy]

Well, you are well to the Eastern side of BC, for sure.

[Brucer]

Hey, welcome there, neighbour!

(Dang, more competition  ;D ;D ;D)

[Coon]

Welcome Cec.  Glad to see more Canucks here.  I have been through Castlegar before as I toured alot of B.C. when I lived there.  I have a few friends that are close to you in Creston and Cranbrook and I have family in the Golden area.  Could be an option to come see you in the spring as I will be going to Golden and then on to Creston; what's a few extra miles to see another forum members little homestead. :D

[sawguy21]

Hey, you and Brucer are practically next door neighbours ;D Welcome aboard. 8)

Might as well spend an extra 20 minutes on the road and swing by Rossland while you're at it, Coon. Two for the price of one :D.

[Minnesota_boy]

If you're going to BC anyway, you should pop in to see Percy too.  Terrace can't be that far away.  It is in BC.  :D :D :D

[sawguy21]

Terrace is a two day drive from Castlegar. Longer if ya stop to eat and take pictures. ;D

Might as well!! :D :D  Forestry Forum members are often more like family members to me than some of my own, but I won't go into that it's the Holliday Season.... (today is my birthday and I haven't even got so much as a Happy B-day from anyone other than my immediate family) :-[

[Tom]

Well!    Happy Birthday Coon!

[beenthere]

Happy Birthday.
I see you have a cake in your profile today. That's special.
