    Dang , Thats a lot of chicken.
    Glad to see weather has held out for you there. At least the smoke in the air is from chicken and not Canada.

    We had a great time. So nice to meet new friends and see the ones we met in 2019 at Denny's GTG.

    Beast mode! His name is Kirk but hopefully someone else can chime in with more. I know he lived close to the club. He had already been hammering away at rounds when I had the opportunity to get my phone out. Put those splitters to shame! Those red oak rounds split like buttah. :axe:

    Lol. I talked Backwoods Savage into putting the elm rounds in all the low spots around the property so they would turn into dirt and level them. Perfect use for elm... :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Keiths son Adam (on the battery saw earlier post) told me they filled 10-11 truck loads. Did anyone else count?

    Almost no pain after the nerve block wore off. Boredom is high. Hate is a strong word but I HATE HATE HATE!!! being stuck with one arm for three weeks. As long as my mental state holds up I'll be fine. Debatable if it ever was stable.

    I'll trade this ↑ 241 for a 4 stroke saw.....

    May have been a small piece. Most was red and chestnut oak, maple, black birch and a tulip poplar

    Just want to thank Scotty Overkill and blacksmith for putting this together. Every time I go to a GTG I'm truly humbled by all of the hospitality. Really wish I could've stayed longer yesterday, but still really glad I got to make it out and see everyone.

    Did anyone happen to get a picture of big John falling on his azz?

    I just cleared Indy, it was raining 20 miles east of Columbus until now. Hopefully it won’t fall apart and give you guys some needed rain.
