I just did a QUICK trip to both the Michigan's and back down through Wisconsin. Stopped at Furby's and got plants, stopped in Cadillac and got some BIG ash beams for the Forest Service, stopped and got Jeff and we stopped at Corley5's for some maple burls.Then I took Jeff to the UP and dropped him off, then across the UP to Marquette to Pasbuild's house for a large load of figured turning blanks and figured boards and then back home last night. I found out then that Jill's Grandmother had passed that day. I delivered the beams to The Forest Products Lab this morning. Was going to buy BeenThere lunch, but had to get back home and go to Illinois to be with Jill's family. I'm going to bed soon as it's been a long hard trip.   :-\  :-\  :-\

When you trick or treat with a 12,000 lb. trailer and a pickup truck ya come home with some awesome treats  ;D  ;D  ;D

Pictures will follow when I git back home  ;)  ;)  ;)

I am really sorry to hear of the loss in your family.  May God be with y'all. 

That kind of trick or treating would be just right for me.  I may have to try that with Customsawyer, Woodbowl, Tom, DanG, Don K, and Radar67 :D.\

Get ready boys, I need some nice treats ;D.

Hey Sorry Jeff............

I did load up them sinker logs Jeff had and brought them home too  ;D  ;D  ;D

"Thee Bob" thinks like I do and that udder one is curly red birch  ;D  ;D  ;D

We'll see as I put that one directly in the shop for a project test  ;)  ;)  ;)

I came home last night and left Jill down there. I know she would thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.
They are gonna cremate her Grandmother and put the ashes from her Grandfather together with them. They will be together for ever now  ;D  ;D    We'll be going back down next Saturday for a memorial service. They have a large family spread out all over the U.S.  6 kids......18 Grand kids.....6 Great Grand kids.....and in about 6 months the first Great Great Grandchild  ;D  ;D  ;D  She was looking forward to that  :-\  :-\  :-\

Those timbers looked to be a team effort to get moved
