Good for you tho, I feel the same way.

Its not that I dont have anything to say to you it just that momma always told me, "If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all"

And we all know who the hairy one around is without YOU changing comments.

MORNING BLAKE&ERIC & ALL FELLOW DTROTARIONS>
WE`LL LOOKS LIKE OFFMATT HAS ABOUT 1/2 TON OF GOOD EATING !
THAT SHOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS FEEDING HIS FAMILY THIS WINTER !

WE`LL THE SAGA OF THE RAPEING OF THE VILLAGE PROPERTY CONTINUES-
THOUGHT THEY WOULD AT LEAST LEAVE THE TREE`S LINING THE STREET -
WRONGTHEY TOOK THEM RIGHT UP TO THE STREET-
6 YRS A GO I PREDICTED THAT WE WILL BE GOING ON DAY TRIPS TO SHOW OUR GRAND KIDS WHAT THE TALL PINES LOOK LIKE !

WE CONTINUE REFORISTING OUR PROPERTY BUT IT WILL TAKE YEARS FOR THEM TO GROW TO THE HEIGHT OF 80 TO 100 FT!

WE HAVE A COMPANY 10 MILES AWAY (LONG POLE) THAT MAKES ELECTRIC POLES OUT OF THEM AND THERE IS ALSO A ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION NEXT DOOR THAT USES CHIPS TO FIRE THE FURNACES TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY > WITH ALL THE PUSH FOR ELECTRIC GENERATION NOW A DAY I WOULD SUPOSE THATS WHERE THEY WILL GO!

Have you spoken to anyone at the village that might know what's going on? They might have a management plan that calls for the harvest for some reason other than money.

What variety of pine are they?

Well there is quite a few independent welders around. This job is actually a union job, but the inspection is third party. As far as I know there is no Inspectors Union, most of us work 1099.

Ahh, that explains it. Only union I've ever belonged to was the Farmers Union. The E.I.E.I.O.

Thanks for clearing that up O Hairless One.

Pine is only paying about 25 cents/bf average, nationwide right now, which is why I questioned the money motivation. Chip prices are even worse. And white pine makes lousy poles. Red pine is barely acceptable but southern yellow pine is the species of choice.

The Area`s #1 Busniss Is Farming _mainly Dairy
The Second Is Four-winds Boats _which Due It The Reshion Is Almost Out Of Busniss ( That Is In Cadillac) There Is Nothing To Cause A Large Amount Of People To Move Here - Thus Adational Housing Will Be Verry Slow To Increase- They Asked For A 5% Tax Increase To Build An New Larger Lagoon For Sewage Treatmant (for The Future Groth ) It Was Turned Down - So Their Cutting Trees !

SCOTT> I AGREE WITH YOU THE PRICE OF PINE IS DIRT CHEAP - EAVEN FOR LONG POLES WHICH IS THE BEST PRICE-
THATS WHY IT DON`T MAKE SENSE !
THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN PAY CHECK AND ARE WILLING TO CUT ALL THE PINES TO PUT MONEY IN THE TRESURY SO THEY CAN JUSTIFY BEING PAYED !

Maybe we could take our act on the road!

Well, at least it was a creative way to raise money without cutting services. It probably goes along with their new motto; "Cut Tress, Not Services"

Mornin' gang. Can't believe Sept is almost gone - - should start cooling up a bit down here - - I think Sept is worse than August for humidity - - more rain. Temps have been high 80's but quite oppressive. Think I will head for the keys in early Nov. Just about right. No hurricanes (????) by then and cooler. Guess we get to see our new granddaughter about Thanksgiving. That will be fun.

OK, grabbing a ph00 and out of here. Behave yourselves, ya hear???
