I saw John on my way to Burlington this am. I told him that his crop circles were on the town web page. He was really excited that people took an interest in his work. John may visit me later this week, I will be sure to show him the pictures.

Told everybody that I would be building a barn out of my pile of wood. So far that project has not happened, but I have used some of the pine to replace the facia on my house prior to covering it with aluminum trim. I have also built a project or two with my son. As of yet I have not put a dent in the pile, but it is nice to have around. For now it just will be stored undercover until my plans are finalized.

Hey John:
Nice work! My son points out your crop circles to all who are in the car. He too is amazed by your work.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Sharon didn't tell me that she would use them, but I am hoping that she will.
Have a great day.

I remember my first ride as well. It was at Theresa and Ron Gross's house. I am not sure if it was Danny, Kevin, or Donny, but I really remember it as a special moment. Going around the house like we did back would not be so fun now but as a 7 or 8 year old boy it was the thrill of a lifetime.
Thanks for jogging that lost memory for me Henry.

It looks like the family lost everything in the fire? Does anyone know if the family is in need of any items? Clothing, blankets, personal items? I am sure we all have a few extra things around we could spare.

Henry,
Thought I would let you know that the sawdust has settled at my place for a while. A couple of months ago I burned all of the left over slabs, cleaned up the 3 manure spreader loads of sawdust and piled all of the lumber. The lumber is neatly stacked waiting for me to find time to build my barn.
I have wanted to make a larger garden space for my two kids to plant pumpkins and squash so instead of getting upset with the mess that was made by sawing I plowed it up. Gary Bushey loaned me an old two bottom plow to use. I thought all I had to do was hook it up to my tractor and go... I was wrong. A good friend of mine told me that I was not smart enough to make it work, he advised me to just drag it around. Instead of getting mad a took his words as a challenge and by the end of the day the old plow was turning the sod as it was meant to.
I have tilled the ground several times and it seems to be weed free for now. I would like to say the same for the crows.

I puchased some of the January Maple Syrup from Bob and have consumed more than half a gallon of it. Well actually my son Kieran, age 4, has used most of it. He loves pancakes and french toast. I have used a lot of syrup since I was yourg and this is as good as it gets.
Thanks Bob

I hope everyone enjoys my pictures. I will try to post other photos as my project enters other stages. I would have like to put up pictures of some of the trees before they were cut and after but was more concerned with getting the logs out of the woods while the ground was frozen. I was told that the little tractor would pull out a big log. The pine log you see in the pictures is small in comparison to the log I took out that was 32 inches at the base, 28 at the small end and 16 ft long. The trick is to make sure your logging roads are frozen. I was instructed by my farmer friends of mine to drive the road with the tractor after each snowstorm so that the ground would freeze under the snow and level out the bumps in my road.
I was cautioned to drive slow and keep my foot close to the clutch in case the log caused the tractor to rear up. I didn't encounter this problem, but did have a big section of a wolf tree pin my leg. The section was about 10 inches in diameter. I could not reach my saw to cut it off my leg so with brute force I was able to push it off while stuffing a short stick inbetween and slide my leg out.
I was scared during the time that this happened, but feel very lucky for myself and family that I am still safe and sound.
