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

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.
