It’s time to celebrate our big milestone – 5,000 LumberJocks!
You’re the best group on the Internet – THANK YOU!

Go have a few beers ;)

========================================

As a special thanks to our “LumberJocks Welcoming Committee” I decided to send a LJ Shirt to each of the following five random greeters in our welcoming committee:

  • Scott Bryan
  • Karson
  • Rikkor
  • Todd A. Clippinger
  • Grumpy

Jude – a “few” may translate to more than two. I often tell my wife I plan to just have a couple. My interpretation of a couple seems to be different than hers …

Very well done Martin, you’ve built a site that continues to grow and improve. I am curious about how close is the current site to what you were looking for when you started?

I noticed we were getting real close this weekend, wondered how long (in hours) it would take!

BTW, mine was a nice pilsner I made last fall.

Martin Congratulation on a new landmark goal. I remember when Obi was guessing when we would hit the all important goal of 1000 members. That doesn’t seem to long ago.
