Ok, so its not done yet, but this is the load of wood I purchased from fellow forumite Ron Williamson, thats him and I standing there.

Another pic of a couple of the Forums finest (I'm in the white t-shirt). We had about an hour and a half drive to Rons shop (a really cool shop, I was green with envy, and a really cool guy to boot). With that load we could only go about 50km/hr, it took us 4 hours to get home that day, backroads all the way. At one point a great big Rotti dog came running out and actually crashed into and dented the side of the van, he was all right, though I guess he was used to vehicals travelling a little faster than we were!

Again, thanks Ron, it was a pleasure dealing with you.

Either you guys are really tough (t-shirts) or your cold weather, which has hit here, hasn't hit there yet.

What's the boat going to be?

Well wouldya lookit that!
Dan,
I think you are trying to ruin my reputation as an O&O wannabe.If you aren't careful,I'll tell everyone that you aren't even wearing a T-shirt and that you have a truly spectacular "Farmer's Tan".(Did I say that? tongue.gif )
I'm glad you made it home safe,dog dents and all.

True Love
We've only had 2 frosts so far,(lake effect)and it's been warming up to about 18C during the day.
That day it was about 25C.

No Dave thats cherry, tamarack & ash.

True love , yes it was below freezing, they just make us tougher up this way! ( Ron being humble again)

The boat I am building is a Glen L Gypsy, an ugly beast, but perfect as a base camp for our northern waterways. (I'm talking James Bay Watershed here)

Red Green? Not us, but I have a friend who is a dead ringer.

Ron, I would never dream of ruining your rep! By the way, whats an O&O?
