No the chip board migration is only in January.  They are also a nocturnal creatures and only fly is 40 mph wind when the temp is in the single digits.

We are planning to leave springfield at 8am tomorrow morning!

I will throw some extra wedges in the truck for splitting the log.  I will probably be there by noon or shortly after.

If history is indicator of future performance, that means you'll be on road by 9:30.

Brian,  sorry you couldn't make it bud.

Andy im so glad that you and wyatt had such a good time!

I made it home safely,  johnW still has a drive to go in the morning. Thanks for doing the driving Eric! I know I had a great time.  I love helping as much as I can. I can't wait for the next gathering! And a huge thanks to Chris and his wife for the awesome hospitality. The food was great and the Fellowship was even better! And another big thanks to Mr. Red Beard for letting all of us bunk at your home!

GREAT time! Thanks so much, Lea and Chris, for the hospitality.
Good to see old friends and meet what, hopefully, will be new ones.
Pictures will soon follow.
