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 ;)

- Rikkor
- Todd A. Clippinger
- Grumpy

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.
Thanks for the shirt, XXL please.
