Worked late tonight But we got the crows done. Got home carved killer hedgefest sign. Can't wait to show it to you guys. But it's too dark for pictures tonight. But here's a couple of the crows before poly.

Hello from HedgeGTG. Yep; everyone (about 25) was getting things ready, or like me, was watching them get ready, and people were coming in all afternoon. I checked into a hotel about 7pm, and refreshed. Hope to see y'all tomorrow.:)
 
Good times tonight! Would have loved to get there early enough to run some saws. Nice to put a face with some names!

At the hotel in Joplin, with the missus. We are loaded down with chainsaws and gumbo!
Hope they survive the night in the truck bed. See y'all in the morning.
 
Aarrgghhh

I'm sorry, but we will not be able to make it. I was not able to get my stepdaughter's room done, because the dang cheap flooring wouldn't snap together right, or more correctly, stay together, :angry::bang:so I'm going to get some better stuff and do it right. Bummed, but gotta do the right thing. I hope to see and meet you all next time!
 
I too, will be crawling around on my hands and knees today. Replacing landscape rock edging that has broken up from all the icemelt products this winter. It would seem that there is a tour next week by the corporate executives, and the minions want everything to look good.

After the rocks comes flowers and new mulch, irrigation repair (discovered yesterday), and general cleanup. One of my biggest and best customers, I can't just run off and hope it all happens monday morning.

I've been keeping them happy since 1987, and I have retired two different property managers and two different parent companies. They started out as Sunshine Biscuit, but several mergers/buyouts later, I am dealing with a really big company that doesn't play games. Let them down, and you know you are done for.

So...no fun and games for me this weekend. I was really looking forward to hanging out with the nice folks I met last time. Nobody is even going to expect me to do any work, so this GTG was particularly appealing.

The CAD you guys are afflicted by; I don't have it so bad as the rest of you. ;)
 
Looks nice down there. Its been raining and crappy up here in mn all day

I hear there is going to be a really cool one in September in the bluegrass state!!!! :)

That would be great. I was within about 60 miles of your place once but it is not someplace we go very often.

That's what pissed me so much about missing this one. I drive on I 44 about every other week. Why couldn't it be this week?!? :cry:
 
Yeah; that was a bummer Wendall. I was looking forward to meeting you too.
Here is thinkrtinker on the extreme right talking with WKEND LUMBERJAK. John and Dave in the background.
