Gday

Well Most of you would have notice I have been pretty quiet on here the last 4 to 5 months  and I am sorry for that but I have been depressed and upset after having everything blew up in my face as usual and wasting 9 months of my life and about $20k of my life savings on someone who was never happy with what they have  ??? :( :( and thats about all I am going to say about that episode  apart from that I think staying single and focused on my work is the best option for me from here on  ;)

Well I have the  Mill and a truck sitting in PA up at Joe's place now and was planing on getting back to the USA next month to sort out what I am doing with them and get stuck into rebuilding the Jackson Lumber Harvester at Joe's but it looks like things will be delayed a while with that  :( : .

As I got home to a couple of messages from old customers wanting timber sawn one of them a large company wanting green sawn pine about 1 million bft before Christmas which I was not going to do at the time and another with small orders for Cypress Pine it was in the process of looking for the cypress pine logs to fill those orders that I ran into Peter a 70yo sawmiller who had retired a few years ago after Sawing and Logging from the age of 14yo I saw an ad he had for excess logs so I rang him and we chatted for a while about the logs then things went over to sawmilling and he told me he had a brand new Varteg Portable Sawmill that he brought years ago and had never used as he had the other mill to which I said I already have plenty of Mills but Ill have a look Mate  ;) anyway we made a date and I went down to have a look at the logs and we struck a deal then spent a good while talking about everything Sawmills Life and Everything under the sun We took a look at the mill and his other gear and I said how much for the mill when he said he would give it to me for 1/3 of what it cost him my jaw dropped and I asked him if he was sure and he then  also told me I can use the Site 80acres with a 60x40 sawmill shed  with 40x40 machinery shed and the w10e Case loader i asked how much and said we would have to sort out some sort of lease/rent for the site and that I would also buy the loader of him in that case he just said Ill just like to come back up here and see the mill run and harrass you  ;) :D :D ;D 8) and im sure Ill find afew hardwood logs for you to mill up for me from time to time Im still abit shocked  as it sets me up in an area with alot of pine withing a 20 mile radius to do the 1million bft before Christmas but Mum said its happened and we meet for a reason    ;D ;D 8)

Anyway Lifes looking up again and Im looking forward to getting Stuck Inta It  ;) ;D ;D 8) 8)

Every bad event in our lives is just one door closing so that the next adventure can begin. Bad times suck..period..but they are always a stepping stone and will be lost in time. You are on the right track for your next great adventure. Good luck my friend.

Thanks Frank  ;D thats too true love makes tuning a bloody sawmill seem easy  Mate  ;) ;D 8) Wild dog & Dennis I think personally that you have to look at the up side of anything you get thrown in life I spent three months down but got home to more work and logs than I can shake a sawmill at  ;) :D ;D ;D 8) 8) that being said I still think the USA has alot going for it if your willing to have a crack and do the hard yards  ;) ;D ;D 8) 8)

Y'u kin do it, mate, come on, give it a go! A spanner in the works and a crook shift and back, won't douse yer petrol fer too long! Hopefully you've still got the old Chamberlain and Meadows to get back to-- your biggest mistake was not bringing your Chamberlain with you when you shifted!  ;D Well, tell the roo's g'day for me, don't forget to clutch when you change gears, and don't bog the ute in the paddock.  :D :D :D
