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!!!

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.
Law of Mechanical
Repair:
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.
Law of Probability:
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.
Law of Logical
Argument:
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:
A closed mouth gathers
no feet.
Wilson's
Law:
As soon as you find a
product that you really like, they will stop making it.
