Hey stan, how big is the tree so I know how much man power I have to bribe with beer and bbq

I will check today and send you a PM.

 

[fpmich]

We just got back home tonight from trip out west.  Will have to let you know in a few days what we may bring, or even if we can make it for sure.

Right now, we are planning to attend. 

This weekend is a busy one for us,  Not even time to pull pics of camera to computer.  Too much to do and too little time. 

We also had two planned family get-to-gathers, rained out this summer.   So that may be a factor too, in case family decides to try it again.  LOL

Will let you know.  Sorry for the indecision on our part.

 

[humdinger]

No need to apologize Frank! We all undertand what it means to be busy with family stuff. Just take care of business and do what you can. Thanks for the update.

This was a busy weekend for me.  Saturday I went to the chili cook off that Kingfishcams friend Scott held at his place for a battered women’s charity.  I got to judge the chili and ate 12 small bowls of very good chili.  Cam came in 3[sup]rd[/sup] place and his chili was very good.

  I am sure next year even better.

They had a silent auction for one of Scotts pigs and I won a half pig. 

(BBQ in the future.)   I think they raised about $1500.00 for the charity. 

 Hillbillyrockstar came on his brand new Harley (Very nice) and judged too.  I had a great time there and look forward to next year.

Sunday Towerclimber came up to Lansing and we cut down an apple tree for him.  He brought his wife with him and the three of us cut down, cut up and cleaned up the tree.  After we started I noticed a vine that was poison ivy growing all through the tree so I hope tower and his wife are not itching today.

I am looking forward to the meet at Rockstars house on the 18[sup]th[/sup] and have a few pounds of cheese and nuts to smoke.  I am still planning to bring a crock-pot full of smoked baked beans to share. I will also bring some smoked cheese and crackers to munch on.  Plus a bag of salmon Cam gave me to smoke too.

Yeah the chili cook off was a great time. Good people. Glad to be a judge. Maybe I'll enter it next year.

Can't wait for the 18th! Should be a good time!

 

[towerclimber]

So far so good on the itching stan. My wife's eyelid is swollen a little bit but we're thinking it's from a woodship...
It was defiantly good meeting you and we had a good time chopping that tree down...we look forward to meeting the rest of the group.

We got the wood stacked up at the house, not a bad pile for a few hours of work
