Thanks again, guys, for the kind words.

Olybeard and Beardbush, Max is a little motorhead. His grandpa has a couple of larger tractors, actually gave an old John Deere to Max when he was born. He and mom have visited me on jobsites where we use big excavators and dump trucks. It's probably because he's my only kid, but I think it's fuggin amazing how much knows about this stuff. The kid is 1&1/2 years old, he's got a ton of cool toys for boys, cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, etc.  and he's able to identify every single one and damned near every distinguishable part on them. Looking forward to two more years when I finally get to have a minibike... that's right "I." smiley: wink

Huddle, funny you mention "epic." That word has been my major peeve with this board and everywhere else for that matter... still accept it as a compliment, though.

abn82, it's very quiet around my house. I'm going to try to remember to post a pic of the view from where we were on the lawnmower in the previous pic. The clip of ERSB was done by a friend of mine and is the only recording we have. It's not even our usual lineup. The guy on the far right of me who did "the wreck"  is my cousin and he was filling in along with the dobro/banjo player. We usually have a flatpicker, no dobro and a banjo player who isn't even half as good as the guy from the clip. If we get some footage of rockytop on video I'll be sure to let you know.

Barba, Thank you. No need for a PM... there's several reasons why I asked for my listing to be removed from your yeard thread, but it's mainly because I just don't want to be there anymore. No hard feelings... surrounded by good company there... just too "front and center" for me. Thanks again, brother.


I had decided that I was only going to post pics taken by others after my "self indulgent" post, but I just can't help it... my beard is kicking a truckload of ass today and I want to share.
