    I wanted to put it out, and we're very sad about it but Chrissy and I won't/can't make it this year! :( We had a wonderful time last year! :tears: We have to many things going on, Chris has a family matter to go to out in Wisconsin soon, her job is a huge PAIN IN THE A$$ and I just spent 10K for a new roof on my house. We also have a commitment in mid June we are going out of state for. All this had made things tight for our timelines and finances. We will miss all of you, and damm I'm gonna miss that Apple Sausage! :drool::drool::drool::drool:

    I think the "big picture" is planned/put into motion, maybe yet a bit early for the last minute chit chat?

    Hey guys just wanted to let you know I'm working on the cutting board for the raffle. Still plenty to do but the Maple and Walnut Chevron design should be awesome. IMG_20240517_132957366_HDR.jpg

    Sorry guy's I know that I haven't been to active lately. Since Dennis' GTG I've been extremely busy. Last Monday we had to put our dog to sleep then preparing for my oldest son's graduation for the physical therapy program last weekend then this past week I've been on vacation moving him to Pittsburgh and helping get stuff ready for his wedding today. My wife has been a total wreck these last two weeks.

    I haven't even had hardly any time to even think about anything else.

    This week coming up I am gonna try to get with Scotty to see if he'd be able to give me a hand gathering some more wood. That we'll be able to load logs in the dump truck and take rhem to the GTG area. There will be wood to cut and tree's to drop.
    Some of the tree's are a little to big and they are on the wrong side of the bridge. They are to big to load and don't want to drag them across the bridge because they don't want to tear up the deck. So we either have to take a small crew of guy's with a splitter and process it there or cut it up into rounds and load them up and take them to the processing area.

    As for the food, in the post on the first page the meats, main courses, plates, cups, napkins and plastic ware are taken care of.

    So far only one person that I know of has contacted me and ask what to bring so that's why there hasn't been a food list for sides, snacks and desserts posted.

    For the most part people will probably just bring the dishes, snacks, desserts and specialties that they usually bring along.

    I don't want to speak for him but Walt and Robin are known for bringing the cast iron pies and coffee cake.

    I believe that I said this in the first post but anyone that needs anything refrigerated can stop at the outdoor kitchen after you cross the bridge and place your stuff in the coolers.

    I just ask that you please take care of placing what you brought out whenever you would like it to be served for whatever meal that you want it out for.

    I talked to the club and they are going to be making their ox roast along with the hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch on Saturday.

    As for the raffle prizes.....

    As you saw on a previous post on theis page 41FanForLife is making a beautiful Walnut cutting board.
    SBK1980 will be donating a knife and his wife Tanya plans on donating something of hers as well.
    I will be donating a Stihl 028 that is in very nice shape and had the magnesium tank which I've heard that they are sought after. It may need some attention to the carb. I bought it years ago cut once with it and never used it again.

    The club will be donating a gift basket.

    PA Dan said he'll be donating a bowl.

    So far these are the only people that I can remember that I talked to that will be donating items. I apologize if I left anyone out.

    Now it's time to go do wedding stuff. Decorating and getting all dolled up! Yeah picture me all dolled up! I have my dress logger boots all spit shined and I got my dress jeans and prison shirt all cleaned and pressed with creases in them!
    That's what Scotty would say. :rofl: :lol:

    No I'll be in a suit can you imagine that!
