All throughout high school. We would party at a certain spot along Tiller Trail Hwy in a big red barn. Well it so happened to be directly inline with the Mile 9 marker. I'm talking about drinking 4 days a week in high school parties. Had many a great nights. Learned about the good women, fat women, uglies too. Metric system and how to use a 4 footer. Beer bong. Lots of good memories from that place. I live in Southern Douglas County. So it all fits in. mile9socounty.

Well, I'm still new, but I'll join in..
I suppose a lot of folks would think that my moniker comes from my choice of liquid refreshment, and that could be partially true.
But, the real reason is the Black and Tan field dogs that I've been workin' with for the last thirty or so years.. The small field Gordon Setter.. Don't think about the big ponies seen on the TV at Westminster. These dogs are Ferrarris compared to those '59 Cadillacs..
Also got a FT bred English Setter here, and Soon a Red (not Irish) Setter... again , think performance based vs. Show appeal..
Anyway, since retirement, gundogs are my life.. but there's still room for tractors and chainsaws also..

Metals406... 'Metals', because I'm a weldor/fabricator, and I grew up in a blacksmith shop in the early '80's... And '406' is the area code for the entire state of Montucky.

Well for the last 24 yrs I've owned and opperated a prehistoric sawmill.

On a handset mill carrage you have your logdogs which hold the log in place whilst milling. Then you have your boarddogs which hold the last board in the cant whilst milling. But first and foremost you have the most versitile dog of all. The Cantdog!! This is a peavey type tool, however it has a very short and stout handle. It also has no point in the end, just a hook (like a peavey) and a small edge of steel in the end to grab the cant and not leave any degrade marks in the wood. The handle is short so as not to be in the way working around the carrage, the log brow, and all the other dogs!!! This is used by the saywer to turn and manuver the cant on the carrage. Atleast that's what we call them round here..SOOOOOO-----that would be me!! short, stout, not a very big handle and no point at all!!! :cheers::cheers:
