Official 2015 Forestry Forum Pigroast RSVP topic.

[Howdy]

I kept getting stuck trying to pack my bags for the Pigroast and it was frustrating.  Then I remembered Blue Creeper was good for getting things unstuck and quicker that a goat can hop a fence, I was done!!!!

The train leaves tomorrow and off I go.  The door prizes are carefully wrapped, I found room for my bib overalls, and even have a jug of actual Pacific Ocean water and sand from the Oregon Coast gathered yesterday.   Over the land I come from the far West - land of Japanese debris washing up on the coast and Computer chips so quick.  Going to see the buffaloes and grain fields, farms that stretch as far as the eye can see, home to the salt of the earth type of folks.  How wonderful it will be to find common ground among yous midwest kinda people.  I just hope to be able to understand the funny way you talk but as long as I can find the outhouse I'm good. 

Here I come and thanks for VOTING FOR ME.

Have a safe and joyful trip and we will see you next week.   8)

Its a lot of fun just getting ready for the Pig Roast.
We went out tonight and picked up a few things to donate for door prizes.
I'll keep my eyes open for a few more things before setting sail.

What's the extinguisher for? In case somebody mistakes you for the guest of "honor"? :D

You DanG right!

Today I went to the Amish general store a few miles away to look for a better regulator for the pig roaster.  I asked to be directed to the guy that knew the most about propane stuff. (Almost any Amishman)  I was directed to the owner. I told him what I was working on, and a little about the Forestry Forum. He became very interested, and when I left, he donated the new $40 regulator, and two boxes of Timber Savage chainsaw files for door prizes.

I hope I get that fire extinguisher just in case we get some more of that smoking hot Mississippi cedar!

maybe a mis-understanding, but I though someone made a reference about some people talking funny. I know for a fact I am all right. Even MagicMan can attest to that. It is the others that talk strange.

Decided to make it a combined visit like we did last year. Booked a suite at the Soaring Eagle water park and am treating Daughter, Son-In-Law and Grand Daughter to a fun day at the waterpark on Saturday night and Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you all

[Andries]

David - thinking you'll be totally all right.

The roast looks like it might be the "United Nations" of sawyers.
When I met CustomSawyer Jake a while ago, I was worried that there'd be a lot of those "huh?" moments as we compared tips and tricks. Turns out he wasn't a Georgia boy, but from Colorado and his wife was formerly from the Maritimes. So, no problemo, eh?
Jeff - here's what I'll bring along to offer up as a door prize:

Caution: not to be used in close proximity to Go-Pro Goats - lawsuits may be pending.  :D  :D :D

I'm down to the point where I'm watching the weather every couple hours. :D

I think I saw a slim chance of showers this weekend for the PR. 

[okmulch]

I'm down to the point where I'm watching the weather every couple hours. :D

That just means we get to be up close and personal and learn more about one another under the big tent while we snack on leftovers like we did several years ago.  ;D

[Magicman]

We have stopped for the evening in Sikeston, MO.  It's 95° and HOT.

[SawyerBrown]

Had to look where Sikeston is ...  A slight detour puts you in Peoria about lunch time!  Should we set a couple extra places?  It's only supposed to be 90 here tomorrow.  (Note: that's both temperature and humidity ...).

If not, are you going up I-57?  After Champaign about 50 miles is my home town of Gilman, if you're hungry about then recommend K&H truck stop, good food reasonable price.  (Therefore not sure if they have grits ...  :D). Used to have the best hand-dipped milkshakes, don't think they do that any more.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

After Champaign about 50 miles is my home .....

After Champaign and 50 miles, any place is my home.  :D :D :D

[Jeff]

I'm hopiing tor a 10% chance or less for rain for Friday and Saturday so there does not have to BE any tents. That reduces the shore load considerably, and makes it so much nicer in the yard.

[chet]

As of right now it looks ta be really nice.    But dat still gives da weather man a couple days ta change his mind.  :D :D :D

[Busy Beaver Lumber]

We could always pile in Magicman's fancy camper. That looks like a might fine and spacious unit indeed.

[Gadrock]

Sure hope the weather holds out dry. The smell of wet goat means it is time to remove that GoatPro camera and prepare for BarBQue...el Cabrita.

carry on

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

No wet Goat this weekend.
Its gonna be NIIIIIIIIIICE. 

[bates]

Would like to join you folks, but will be fishing salmon out of Pentwater with the family this weekend.

Last year I attended my first Pig Roast and had a great time. I planned to go again this year. But, my 9 year old grandson from South Carolina came to Michigan for his first visit without the rest of the family. I am leaving Thursday to take him back South and won't be back until next week  ;D happy to see him.  :( sad to miss all you good folks at the Pig Roast. Gotta go next year.
