Nick just got home today after participating in the MN Tech College VICA competition for Drafting in Minneapolis. 

He was one of three chosen from his Tech College.  They competed against 9 other students state-wide. 

He placed first and will now be competing in the national competition in Kansas City, MO in June. 

He and his instructor will be there for 1 week. 

 
Go Nick!!!

 

 

The twins' Birthday Party in Florida

 

Meanwhile back in the north country,

here's our latest work site.

The skidder above dragged trees in the snow from the house sites to the entrance drive.

 

 

All trees were ground to mulch and fed into these 90 yard tractor trailer trucks for recycling off site.

 

 

Using the remote control, Allen directed the portable grinder onto the first house site.

 

The dozer raked stumps and branches toward the excavator.

The excavator lifts the stumps into the grinder where the mulch was spread on site.

Won't it be a nice view for a house here?

 

If you have a high speed connection, here is an 11 meg video file showing the mulch being made.

This property also yielded some nice deer for hunter friends.

I had a great time at the Game dinner last night.

Here's a take on Murphy's Laws that you will enjoy reading.

*********************************

After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.
 
Law of the Workshop:
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
 
Law of the Telephone:
If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.
 
Law of the Alibi:
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.
 
Variation Law:
If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will start to move faster than the one you are in now  (works every time).
 
Law of the Bath:
When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.
 
Law of Close Encounters:
The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.  (Or not wearing makeup, or dressed in ill-fitting, ugly clothes!)
 
Law of the Result:
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.
 
Law of Biomechanics:
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
 
Law of the Theatre:
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last. 
 
Law of Coffee:
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
 
Murphy's Law of Lockers:
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.
 
Law of Rugs/Carpets:
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
 
Brown's Law:
If the shoe fits, it's ugly.
 
Oliver's Law:
