Talking I Think I Can, I Think I Can

Yes I do, I think I can. Got a late start today, about 12:30pm but did have a good day. Got this red oak quarter sawn before 3:30pm and kept gettin it. I think if I had prime logs, I could saw 2000BF a day. That sounds funny when yout think about the bigger mills doing that in 90 minutes . But for me I'm tickled

Only for a little while though too hot.







Then I found this in my shop, guess where it came from,.............. Yep the same place my forklift came from. O'l Fred is the BEST Partner in the WORLD.

Boy I bet that fan really came in handy on a day like this. If it was any more humid it would be raining

Re: I Think I Can, I Think I Can

What a pretty stack of fine oak, Randy!!!!

Don't know how you guys do it in weather like this!!

I am poppin' a sweat just lookin' at the pics!!

You sure earned a nice long, restful evening with a couple of cold ones!

Just kick back a relax tomorrow, knowing that you worked overtime today.

Re: I Think I Can, I Think I Can

It helps that bigger mills are more fully automated - those motors are a BIG help in handling heavy stuff!

Good work!
