The tire deal for Jim was worth the trip by itself.
Just having the oppertunity to have others run my oldies was priceless.

A big THANK YOU!! to our hosts.
It was so good to finally meet you Carl and Blondie too.
It was fun taking fat Alice for a ride....... and your other saws too.
I think I made the yellow saw mad at me :)

Rain gauge said about 1.5 inches. That came Friday afternoon, through the night and came to an end Saturday late morning. Rain allowed for more than usual amount of shop time, but when the rain ended the guys started cutting. What a great time. You all are fun people.

My daughter wants to go to the next GTG with me.
L-O-L
I'll tell ya' why (and I mean this with all the love in the world)...

First, to set it up ya' need to know there's this one particular TV show she just loves... she never misses it.
Anyway, I get back from the GTG and she asks if I had a good time, and what the guys were like.
I look at her and answer...
"Sweetheart, when I got there it was rainin' and no one was outside, but I found the building they were all sittin' in by following the smell of bacon. I step in the door and... just picture this... a huge family reunion... of the Duck Dynasty boys‼"
She looks at her mom and says, "I'm goin' next time‼ I don't give a sour owl squat what you say‼"
:laughing:
(OK... so she didn't actually use "sour owl squat"... but the word she did use ain't allowed here.)

Her poor mother ain't havin' a lot'a luck keepin' her completely the "proper lady" and such...

For me this year, seeing my daughters running saws was my high light. I sure had fun and it is a beautiful day today!

That was awesome!! Nothing but smiles from ear to ear!!



Looks like everyone had a good time one day I may venture that far west .

I had a great time. Definitely coming next year!!

Put it on the calendar Skippy!! Make it to my door and ride with me.
 
Thanks to all the hosts for their hard work. It was so wonderful to have warm shop to keep the baby in out of the weather, she had a great time. But I think it is going to take me at least 2 weeks to convince her that she does not have to be held all the time. :)

A special thanks to Mike and his family for putting up with us for the whole time. You guys are great, looking forward to you all coming our direction.

And thanks to everyone that helped babysit, so I could have some fun. Your all great!

Everyone stay safe going home today.
 
Well, it was an awful lot of driving for a few hours of fun, but it was worth it!! Thanks, Mikey, for pulling it all together, and thanks to the Hoskey's for providing the great spot again.

Fun meeting some new folks!! Here's some pics off my phone... Haven't gotten the camera downloaded yet- mayn't be till later... Got 100 trees to plant!

Definitely one of my favorites of the day!!
