    Here's my prep and what is being loaded in the Jeep this evening - plus a cooler, 10x10 pop up, duffel bag and pineapple casserole and maybe a few others. :faint: Do you think I should check the tire pressure? :whistle:

    Thanks Mark. It's not just me whole family helps get ready. We are just praying the weather holds out this year. Good idea on the pop-up and if anyone else has some to bring might be a good idea.

    I'll bet the pipeline activity makes for a real mess with all that rain.

    We've been working hard all week to get some good logs for the festivities. blacksmith and I just finished up two big blue spruces the past two evenings only a few miles from Chris's farm, plus I've got several ash and spruce logs from two other job sites I worked earlier this week. We'll be hauling those logs out later this afternoon, I'll post up some pics!

    Blue spruce we took down on Wednesday evening

    Here's a load from the blue spruce we took down last evening in the rain, with blacksmith posing on top of it. Got the entire tree on the trailer minus the log!!
