Hi Toyguy. I have been to a few places in Canada and loved them. Especially love the Banff area. Can’t wait to have time to look at your toys!

I just watched the Australian Open from Melbourne. I didn’t even know it was in Florida. All this time I thought Melbourne was in Australia. Go figure.

I think you’ll find folks from pretty much anywhere you want to go. LumberJocks are everywhere. It is a known fact that the sun never sets on LumberJocks.

I’ve worked out of Jackson several times. In 1970 I worked for George Clover in his hunting camp in the Bridger-Teton. In ‘87 I drove the stage coach on the square for Bob Humpreys and in 2005 I steer bossed for Snake River Ranch north of Wilson. Yeah, I’ve been to Jackson. Nines months of winter and three months of company! LOL Jackson is Ok but Cody is much more real. I lived in Cody. I just worked from Jackson. The skiing is great but pretty expensive.

Gainesville Florida – a great sports town and a nice place to spend the Winter. However I’m itching to get back to the Upper Peninsula (Michigan) just as soon as the snow is gone.

Here in Gainesville I have a 1/2 two car garage shop. Last year in the U.P. I treated myself to a new 24’x28’ woodworking shop. I’m anxious to get it set up and organized. The U.P. is a fantastic place for woodworkers, several million acres of forest and great availability of lumber.

ancestors from my mothers side…...a highlander….., sent across the pond and in all likelyhood, against their will, to keep the colonies in America, in “check” and when the yanks said “check mate” they fled north to Canada to become Upper Canada Loyalists…................been here ever since on that side

My pops is a descendent of the Gauls, a twinkle in his fathers eye who arrived as a boy with his Dad, back in 1907/08 who married another Gaul…..........

Settling in the west I am sitting writing this in the eastish side, central Ontario knowing that my family is somewhere between Vancouver, Cambell River, BC, right on through all the provinces and ending in Quebec and then all the way down to Miami Beach Florida…........the east coast seems to elude my roots other the arrival and departure times.

at the risk of sounding repitative, we are still in touch with folks on the other side of the pond, whos relatives are related to me, who came here more then two centuries ago….......<g>

You are funny Patrick. And to think I am really a 300 lb. bearded man.

Seriously, thanks for the compliment, even if it wasn’t really intentional. Long gone are the days that I got any favoritism because of my looks.

BTW, I’ve posted a message on about five different websites/forums asking people for positive stories and I haven’t gotten ANY responses. So it doesn’t have anything to do with the person asking the question. It has to do with the question!!

-- http://www.naturesdetails.net

What cha mean by positive stories ? about woodworking / life / construction ? A that’s better I’m much more comfortable talking to 500 lb bearded men… You’ll find a ton of positive stories here , example : the post from dennis next to this right now just got me thinking…. About “what matters” “giving back” etc…. Check it out! Good day, n welcome aboard .

Hi again Patrick. I’m always coming up with these catchy slogans. So one morning I woke up with the idea of getting people to Sow Some Wild OAKS (O.A.K.s standing for Ordinary Acts of Kindness). I thought I could get people to post their stories in an effort to encourage people to 1) notice the good things in life and 2) possibly want to go out and CREATE some good things in life themselves. I even thought about bribing people. Offering to pay for the best story.

Still, no posts: Wild Oaks Forums
