    Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.

    I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.

    Quick hello to everyone,

    Just took the class last weekend with my better half. Great class, we really enjoyed it! We live in the Roanoke, VA area and are looking forward to this new adventure together. In the process of closing on some land and hoping we have enough good trees on site to cover what we need.

    Hi Steve- Cute little boy in your pic! My husband Rick and I attended "The" class May 30th and 31st. The class was spectacular-leaned a lot and quickly changed our original plan to build with a company out of Tennessee. The class gave me an understanding that we can definitely build our dream home together and end up with a quality product. Building a log home has been our dream for 20 years and now that we are older I didn't think we could do it ourselves. We will be creating our retirement home on 150 acres in southern Colorado. We are posted as Poppy's Pinons since our business in West Texas is Poppy's RV Repairs and the land we own in Colorado is heavily forested with amazingly tall old pinon pines although not useable for building. Looking forward to this new adventure and thank you both for sharing your knowledge.

    No we were on the shuttle at about 6:00 am. You have a head start with your own trees! Finding our trees in Colorado is the most challenging part to us. Good luck with your closing and I'm sure we will meet again in conversations as we progress through the fun and adventure ahead.

    Hello Everyone! My name is Trae Bane, just took the class last weekend in Vegas... WOW... So much excellent information. My family and I are moving to Kalispell, MT this week and would love to connect with others. We are living in our 5th Wheel and looking for land. If anyone has any projects, at any stage of their process, and need or want help, we would love to try and help/learn with you. Good luck and hope to see some of you in the woods!

    You 'edit your signature' on your console. Just like you would on a smartphone. Hope this helps!

    Flight RN,

    I am long in the tooth. I flew for Alaska Hospital in a red and white Lear Jet called the Spirit of Alaska. It was the height of the Pipe Line. Wild and Woolley. Stories for the telling around a winter fire. Lol

    Sounds fantastic! Would love to hear those sometime! I flew for PHI AirMedical, in an A-Star, out of Columbia, CA. I'm one of the privileged few that got to fly in and out of Yosemite. It was amazing.

    Oh, you are very bad. Lol I am sitting here reliving trips to the north slope through Anatuvic Pass. Artic trees grow up the south side but not on the north side. It is way too cold. Picked up a kid with a hemothorax secondary to kissing a swinging drill bit. Doc in the ER had never done a chest tube. I had just come out of a cardio thoracic unit....used the biggest Foley they had in CS. That is just the beginning. Lol Heck! I am sure you could tell tales as well! One of mine I found written up in the Readers Digest several years later.

    Heck! I remember counting the drips on a liter of Morphine for a pt in acute asthma crisis. No pedi drip, no pumps....they had not been developed yet. The first SG line I saw was. Single lumen wound in a sterile dish of saline, used for multiple insertions. Later I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Gantz. Oh, Yes!

    Final exam: you have a bottle of vodka, a razor blade and a needle and thread. You have 30 minutes. Take out your appendix.

    I tried but "email function has been disabled by the administrator..." I can get daily notifications but the 'instant' notification function seems to be inoperable at the moment. Thanks for the tip though.
