Jeff has informed me that my dad (Red Clay Hound) has joined the Forestry Forum. Hopefully he can navigate around the topics well enough to find this one so he can pull up a stump and introduce himself :)

I enjoyed meeting and talking with your Dad at the Pig Roast.  He will be a welcome addition to The Forum.

Never took the opportunity to chat much with yourself or your dad at the roast. Well we did talk spruce, but there's got to be something besides trees to talk about. ;D  :D :D

SwampDonkey I don't know about that my wife and I went out to eat last night with another logger and him and I talked timber the whole time and the girls just laughed. About as we men folk drive home we will say Boy theres some nice timber in that woods or Ive logged there before, so I guess we just love our jobs way to much  ;D.

Thanks guys.  I've been stalking for a while, but getting to meet some of you at the pig roast convinced me that I need to come out of the shadows.  8)  That and the fact that I just jumped in with both feet and purchased a WM LT40 Super Hydraulic and an EG200 Edger!  I've had an LT15 for awhile mainly to cut wood for myself, Dodgy Loaner and a few friends.  I'm semi-retired now so looking to hopefully start doing some custom sawing with the new toys.  Looking forward to getting some good advice from some of you veterans. :)

Danny, that cliff was about 200 feet about the water, so couldn't get my feet wet there, but it was a good spot for contemplation!  thecfarm, I actually already have the toys - they were gently used, plan to fire them up this weekend.

Welcome  Red Clay Hound,
As you noticed at the pig roast it is tough to get to talk a lot with everyone.  Once I found you were an E agent, I knew you were a good guy.  Were you involved with the 4-H kids?   You and WDH played in the dirt a lot if I remember right. 
Happy sawing.

Well, Dodgy has shown that if he makes a mess in the middle of the floor, he'll clean it up.  Can't ask for much more than that.    :D

Fishpharmer, the mill has the 51 hp. Caterpillar engine.  Should have plenty of power to cut through some tough stuff.  The guy who had it was sawing reclaimed heart pine timbers.

Cedarman, I was actually an Extension specialist before I became an administrator.  I am an engineer by training and was the state irrigation and water quality specialist.  I have worked a lot with the 4-H program over the years though.  I was a volunteer shooting sports coach and all my kids were 4-H club members.  I've clipped a lot of lambs and heifers for livestock shows!

I have known WDH most of my life.  We grew up a few miles apart.  His dad used to buy hay from my dad when we were kids, so we spent a few hot Georgia days in the pasture picking up hay bales.  We were also college classmates and friends through college and we've spent some good days together in the wood chasing deer and admiring trees.

Welcome to the forum Red Clay Hound, I truly admire the work you extension folks do, I don't think most people realize how much it is.  I've always wished our extension agent would have taken up teaching instead (he does anyway  ;)), he'd be a great ag teacher.

Welcome Red Clay Hound.  Congrats on the new mill.  We do want pictures though.  There's a saying on the FF "no pictures, it didn't happen" so make believers of us :) 8)
