Over the past several months Eric has been working hard to get the new businesses (US Forestry and SP Distribution) set up and running efficiently. He's been doing such a great job and I'm so proud of all that he's learned and accomplished with this new opportunity. It's been fun to see how passionate he's become, not only about having a smoothly run company, but also about the machines and heads themselves. Today, Pioneer Equipment hosted a demonstration of the newest Rottne H21 machine, along with a brand new SP head. It was the first time that any of us, Eric included, got to see the machine "do its thing" and it was amazing. The finesse by which the harvester grabs a tree, quickly saws it, strips it of its branches, and cuts it into even, usable logs is awesome.
The kids and I were joined by our friends, Katie and Isaac. The boys got the opportunity to ride in the big machine. Isaac was fearless and excited to drive! Nolan (as expected) panicked and was too nervous to go for a ride. After a bit of coaxing, we did convince him to sit with Grandpa Steve up in the cab. He kept his ears covered the whole time because he was worried it would be too loud. He is certainly my sensitive boy!
Love those Northwoods boys!
After a hard morning of sawing down trees, the moms wanted to check out some of the plants and flowers at Hanson's. And wow, did it look like spring! So many beautiful plants and flowers to consider for this year's planting. Can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit so I can get to work on beautifying the yard!
