    I'm hoping he gets his Eagle soon! He was an outstanding young man this past weekend and he has an amazing father!!

    My son is just about 6 months away of making Eagle if he sets his mind on it.

    With him going on his 1st date while I was in Michigan? He better stick to the plan! We have 10 years into this!

    Pic of him and his girlfriend Kayla.

    I know I'm the milkman's son.

    That was a long read, and a lot of likes to do.

    I need another drink now.

    Pass the fireball!!!

    Wow! I miss a few days, and looks what's been going on. It took me a while to catch up in this thread, so many good posts and pics. I think I speak for so many others who couldn't be there, that I wish I could have been. I don't know, but I doubt any other group does a GTG like this. And so nice to see the FHC sign!:thumbs: As someone stated about 20 pages back, I hope the sign makes it to New England someday. I for one, would be honored to be in its presence.:salute: Thanks to all of you so much for allowing the rest of us to "be there":yes:

    Once again I have to thank the gang for coming to out humble GTG and believe me, Judy and I are humbled by all this. It's not over yet! We've been made a terrific offer from some Michiganders to come in when things dry out a bit to skid logs out that we could not get out over the weekend because of all the water and mud. Plus there are a lot of trees that have came down compliments of Mother Nature that need to be bucked but some also are hangers. There is still much to do. But, by the looks of the forecast, it could very well be long into the summer months before things dry up enough to skid logs and chipper1 definitely proved just how muddy it is when he got that tractor stuck. I'm glad it was his rather than mine because he had a nice winch on the back of his tractor where all I have is a wench. :whistle: But she can pull...and curse...and hit.

    Some more pictures from the oaks that Scotty took down.

    The stump from the white oak and then some of the limbs.

    Scotty Overkill tried to split that oak too to save time. Second picture is some Scotty tracks (spikes) in that oak.

    I'm sadder by the moment after reading through everything that I couldn't make it! You guys, and gals are all incredible! Super happy to be a distant part of something so special!! I applaud you all. Congrats FHC, you are all extended family to me, without meeting any of you.

    Now on a more fun note, bocefus78 let's hit the Fireball!! I'll bring the chaser! Great pic's, vid's, and a GREAT time missed by me. Take care all!! Thanks for sharing.
