'Twas the Friday before......

Hey, I found this idle blog and thought I would take over.... a while ago there was some discussion about cubes, how ugly they were and who had the worst. This is the last view from my office at work, now I'm in a cube as well. This is a great little single cup coffee brewer that I use at work. You can get one for free if you visit this site! It's a great brewer and would be about $70 if you bought one for real. You get a bunch of coffee pods and you only pay $15 for shipping.



Also at work, we have this wonderful banner in the shop near the office and employee entrances. It's about 8' by 10' and speaks for itself.....















On the other hand, we did have a drawing for a pair of Packer game tickets. December 30th, Lions at Lambeau.... Rosie is nuts for Packer games, so I put my name in, didn't win. I did, however, win this fabulous Packer glass and $20 in Phillps Chamber Bucks!!










We had a series of beautiful sunrises in early December. This is one of them, and, obviously, it's on a weekend. I know that because the first two weeks of December I started work at 5:00am, worked til 2:15 and then hurried home to work at the logging job. Chuck and I wanted to finish for the year, and as soon as possible.



Here's a pic that Peg took one morning.... anyway, my last day of work at Marquip for this year was the 14th, we finished the logging on the 16th, Sunday. Now I'm off until January 2nd of 2008



That last weekend of woods work was a frosty one. Temps 0-15°, but that's O.K. for woods work, you just don't sweat as much. The trees looked a lot better in real time, and it was awesome when the sun came out and made the trees shine.



The lodge was quite appealing on the weekend, but I didn't really have time to sit around. Maybe that will happen after Christmas, I haven't made any plans to go anywhere or do anything, so I'll keep a fire going in the lodge and hibernate.....



It was cold enough to keep a bunch of ice on my beard and mustache, but it was nice working weather.









Chuck takes another load out to the pulp piles by the driveway. This kind of machine makes possible in days what used to take weeks. The time spent working is still as hard, you just get more on the pile per hour?????



Here are the last views of wood piles that you will see on this blog.... you can see the garage in the background, and these piles have gotten big.






We got a truckload of hardwood pulp, three truckloads of poplar pulp and a load of sawbolts. Should help a lot with bulldozing and general runway construction costs. So I will be posting fairly often until I get caught up, so you're stuck with more drivel in the near future.....
