Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!
generally I like to set up where everyone is going to be passing back and forth constantly from vehicles or food to the wood. ill have a coupe of tents and a couple tables. I need more tables than what I have. im going to rent a u-haul trailer in order to be able to lock the stuff up over night. I think randy and I will be carpooling if things work out.

... and the arm, the hands, chest, face, pretty much anywhere without body armor. Think of it as a chihuahua with a really long reach.

They're not to bad. Use the top of a long bar to shave the thorns off with the saw throwing them away from you. Just make sure there isn't anyone on the other side to receive the thorns. I don't imagine they would be very appreciative.
I like to keep the hatchet handy while splitting. Some locust like to hide thorns inside the round to jump out & tag you while you are handling the splits.
Workshop, whether the cut is this week end or the 25th, I'll be there.
Just do what you feel is the smartest. We trust your judgement. 
Terry / Randy, looking forward to your displays.

There,
I feel better now.
Spoke with Ed this afternoon. The county guys are out of commission for the rest of the week. This weather STINKS! The secondary location fell through too. Soooo, I'm going to back it up again to the 25th. And pray to the almighty the weather holds up. Thanks for your patience, guys. Its really appreciated. I couldn't ask for better friends.

I have been blessed in that I have not lost a member of my immediate family. I can't imagine the sorrow you must feel. I will say prayers for you and yours.
