KARATE KID POSTPONED ONE WEEK

Due to weather, we are going to postpone the playing of Karate Kid one week, this will also give you more time to marinate how awesome this movie is!  See you next Tuesday!

Daniel:  When am I gonna learn how to punch?

Miyagi :  Learn how punch, after you learn how keep dry!

EJ’s Update Aug 29th 2010

Hello everyone. Diesel powered hydraulics is a beautiful thing. The 305 CAT mini-excavator is kicking butt up on the Ridge Trail. I had no idea that the mini-ex was going to work so well. Drew Kneeland is a very good operator. Drew and the machine are what we really needed to get the “Shock Treatment” section of the Ridge Trail done.

All I can do is laugh when I watch the machine work. Every time I watch the mini-ex scoop one bucket, I say “Wow! That would have taken me two hours by hand.” The machine rips through just about anything. “Shock Treatment” is full of brush. A lot of you all know how bad it sucks to try to chop through these root systems by hand. The mini-ex plucks out a root system in one pick. No problem, Mon. The mini-ex eats up stumps for breakfast. I watched Drew and the machine pull out a 24″ DBH stump on Thursday and I almost couldn’t believe it. Switchbacks…..? Smitchbacks…..! Drew and the mini-ex built our hardest switchback yet in roughly 7 hr.s. This would have taken a four person hand crew two weeks to build. It is nice switchback and big with a 12′ radius. It’s gonna ride like a dream. Rocks are no problem, Mon. The machine has pulled out some huge rocks, and sometimes it can just break them apart. Diesel powered hydraulics are a beautiful thing.

Photos from Ghostbusters

Once again Jackson, you’ve outdone yourself.  Ghostbusters was our biggest turnout yet!  Karate Kid has the potential to top last week, so dress the part (in karate uniform of course).

Miyagi: Karate come from China, sixteenth century, called te, “hand.” Hundred year later, Miyagi ancestor bring to Okinawa, call *kara*-te, “empty hand.”
Daniel : I thought it came from Buddhist temples and stuff like that.
Miyagi : You too much TV.

Skip staying at home and watching television in your house.  Bring a blanket and enjoy the last movie!  This one is brought to us with the help of TREEFIGHT!
