Live from The Central Ohio GTG

Those big maple logs made some nice big piles of firewood.

(All will go to a good cause.)

 

2 splitters and the conveyor

Glad y'all are ok.

 

Looks good.

 

Can't like that. Hope she is better

 

Thanks. Yeah I was kinda surprised to find no vehicle damage as the impact was pretty violent...but it looks like the deer basically just went under the truck, (specifically the right tires) there was only a little fur on the front air dam. Really woke me up though, popped up over a little hill and there they were...I hit the brakes, but a F250 pulling a trailer at 55 MPH isn't gonna stop on a dime, and there was a car coming the other way too...so nothing to do but steer within my lane and attempt a narrow miss. I guess running over a deer is about like hitting a parking block at 55 and then when the trailer went over that made for another jolt too.
Just glad I wasn't in my car or the wife's van...would certainly have been a police report and an insurance claim involved.

 

Good thing she took after her mom

 

Glad you are ok

Thanks Robin!

 

what was the yield cordwise? What cause will it go to?

 

About 8.5.

A few less fortunate folks that Walt helps.

 

The aftermath.

 

Glad you didn't swerve. Lots of folks do and then wreck, causing more damage than hitting the deer.

 

Thanks for helping out, brother.

 

And there is still a few rounds that need split...better part of 2 cords I'd say.

 

My thanks to all who made this event. walt for hosting and getting the wood ready. All the guys and gals that cut and split, brought food.
And many thanks for helping others in need. Hope we can make it one year.

 

Exactly what I was telling my son...he is 4.5 YO and this all prompted 20 questions (or more) about why I ran over the deer, will the deer go to the doctor, etc etc etc.
I told him I didn't want to hit the deer, but since he jumped out in front of us at the last second, it left me no choice since I couldn't stop, and swerving would have meant hitting the #3 deer, (instead of #4) and that other car, and that would cause lots of damage and then we would probably have to go the hospital too.

 

Too Late !!!!!!!!!...........................bacon long gone, only two kinds of gun fighters at the breakfast table, the quick and the hungry..............

 

Yes, much thanks to walt , and his family, they all worked hard to make this excellent GTG happen!
Good to see everyone again (and shake some new hands t00) just too bad so many of the regulars couldn't make it this year...
