    Tulip, red oak, cherry, sassafras, silver maple, a host of others. Going by numbers those were the most.

    I used a whole tank of mix cutting up and noodling a Sugar Maple crown that was at least 32"+ diameter and 12' long. Tons of big knots in that piece and should have some serious BTU's to release. I saw a few other chunks of Sugar also.

    I made it home safe (not very far to go) and true to form, I left one of my pick-a-roons laying in the wood pile. Just another excuse to meet Walt and Robin at Fast Eddie's...

    When I stopped to grab my shirt off the ground on the way out last night I saw a bunch of tools laying there by where you had some of your stuff earlier on.

    walt & Robin, Chad & Curtis- you guys are fantastic, outstanding hosts and great people! Your hospitality is always above board! Thank you all so much for having us stay and participate.
    And all the members that showed up (even that ornery eatonpcat) and chipped in are awesome as well! A real showing of that FHC readiness to kick azz!!! And have a blast doing it!

    Left a little after 9, had a stop at Ohio University to visit our niece and have brunch… back on the road around 12. Made a few stops, not a whole lot of stoopid on the roads, but enough to raise the BP’s a few times. Sheesh, people suck at driving!
    Got home @ 5:50 and unpacked- now time for a cold snack.
    :cheers:

    I just had a new leaf spring hanger welded on the rear of the rear axle on the R&R Tour Bus a couple weeks ago. The welds weren't enough! It is torn off...again. :startled::heidi:
    Was wondering why it felt like I was driving through a hurricane. :doh:
    5 hours of white knuckle driving.
    Made it home though. All that matters. I'm beat.:sleeping:

    Kinda yes, but missing the basket section that ours had. This was a standard long handle 4 prong rake.
    :yes:
