     Got to spend a few hours with Slider today, watching him put his LT70 through it's paces.  He was working at the Satilla Lodge, one of Mr Tom's favorite places. 
     I'd never been there before.  I can see why Tom liked it so much.  What a beautiful place to be able to work!  Al, I envy you.  Mostly real nice logs, too.
     Slider and his offbearer Lee are a great couple of folks.  Even his dog decided she liked me.  (Something that surprised him as much as it did me.)  She's a bit stand-offish.
     Al, it was great to see you again.  Thanks for the time.  Oh, yeah.  I promise I won't tell anybody about that one log I haven't already mentioned it to. ;D

     His dog is camera shy, too. :D  But actually, I forgot my camera.

Well, I believe you because I was talking to Al on the phone, and he said that he was going to invite you up, and I told him that if he did, that you would come, and you did  ;D.

Just got back from the satilla lodge road trip.Like Nomad said this was Mr. Tom's favorite sawing place.What a great place to spend time.We only saw dead trees ,lightning struck or beetle kill or just old age.All are well over 100 years old.Bill came up and spent the day with us ,great time .Some what challenging at times.Big logs and bucked short,6,7 and 10 ft.and true heart pine.I will post some picks from last trip because we both forgot the camera.Thanks for making the trip to visit nomad and the bad log is just one of those buggers that comes to you when you get cocky .The last cut produced 22 in full hart pine boards.

I've had the privilege of standing with Mr. Tom on the wide heart pine board floor there. Also chasing a lizard on an old board dock down over the river bank.

The Satilla is a nice black water river.  Very nostalgic for me.  The hound and the scorpion both seem happy  :D.
