    The showers moved through Friday morning but we didn't get enough to wet the ground. Turned into a beautiful day with some wind.

    Crazy weather too. Then the day when folks left we got well into the 80's! This morning it is raining.

    I got the pictures but now I have to resize them so they will upload here. It will take a while to do that and I have a few other things to do plus my son and his wife are still here.

    Wow. Looks like another great GTG. Glad good times were had by all, and things got done safely. Thanks for posting all the great pictures.
    Thank you, Dennis, for hosting it again.
    I'm sure sorry we missed it this year.
    Hope to see y'all in the future

    Good morning all, quick note, We're back in hell! :headbang: Drove all day yesterday after our stop at Dennis's. We were gonna stay one more day but I had enough of driving in the rain so we packed up and headed out, We got here about 1am. o_O
    Yes, we're up and moving. I didn't get much chance to go through the threads yet but I only one coffee in me. Some things first here; Dennis, Thank you! :handshake: It was my/our honor to make it. To ALL the wonderful FHC cast and crew, (There is no better folks in the world)! :tears::salute: Thank you all for putting up with the pups and we haven't looked yet, but it look's like they all have their teeth... :rofl: :lol: They love, or hate wheels (how ever you want to look at it)o_O Chrissy has some pics and when we recover a bit I'll get them up later today. We only shaved about 30 minutes off going back, (lack of traffic and rain). 12-1/2 hours back. I can say I was with the best people on the planet, Except the guy and the hotel front desk! :mad: :headbang: I'll chat later... Dave

    By Friday things were moving along nicely.

    Julie had to set the splitter the right way for some of these.
    IMG_0257.JPG

    On this splitter was Jim and Cole. Jim is who this wood was for and Cole is the squirrel. He can get around in trees as well as a squirrel and a fine young man.

    This is not a tree. It is only a limb off the tree. I did take a measurement of the stump at the 2 widest spots. One was 62" and the other was 69".
