    Oh my, that would be a riot...but...
    I have a few trips planned for the Rock n Roll tour bus in August already.
    And I'm starting 56 hour weeks next week. I doubt I can pull it off this time of year...:(

    I suppose we better get a list going for shirts.

    I'm not sure what Lisa will do for a design, I'm guessing very similar to last years, probably just a different color. I'm guessing the cost will be between $10-15 a shirt, I forgot what they came to last year.

    Let me know your size and how many you'd like

    As long as the ahrrythmia doesn't kick in, I will be there. Shirt is a L, but you should have that from fartknockers.

    First post on here. Interesting and knowledgeable bunch of guys. Genius, I can come Thursday or Friday with the Alaskan mill and a few saws that'll run it. It's a bit time consuming, maybe an hour for an 8x8 12 or 16' long poplar cant. Kinda nice to have some forks on a bucket (or a chain) to move the logs around. Or I'll have a buddy make some popple cants up here and I'll run 'em down on the trailer. Either way is fine

    There are a few real nice campgrounds real close by.

    Tri Ponds is really nice, if you have kids they have a lot for them to do

    Hungry Horse in Door is also nice, we just got back from there last week.

    Dutch Treat in Zeeland is ok, it's a older park but it's still pretty decent.

    Let me do some calling and thinking. I may take you up on that.

    I was told that depending on the sawmill you could get a 8x8 or 10x10 milled for $30-40. If that's the case I'll probably go that route for 2-3. To me that would be worth it at that price instead of spending a day to mill.



    We will keep in touch.

    I sent Dave the info when he was looking for a hotel/resort to stay at.


    I drove past it a month back, they've got their rainbow flags flying high this time of year.

    Here are the preliminary shirts that my wife came up with. If anyone has any input I'm all ears.

    Also if anyone would like one let me know how many and the size. If you already said that you'd like one I already have you accounted for.

    She's hoping that with enough shirts ordered that we can keep them around or under $15 a shirt. Although I do know there is a up charge for 3XL, I'm not sure if there is a up charge for XXL.
