ebinmaine 67,632 #1 Posted August 25, 2022 My amazing little artist has been at it again. The wonderful woman who officiated the wedding of Trina's daughter and now son-in-law recently was just fantastic. Dyan was quite taken aback by the general attitude and super chill demeanor of all... incredibly impressed with the life Trina and I lead... The things we've accomplished. Especially Trina, of course. Dyan absolutely fell in love with our house and yard. She wrote out the vows by hand with the help of all of us. Drove 45 minutes each way to get here. Took care of all the legal mumbo jumbo for the wedded couple including filling out and filing paperwork with the town. We asked what the fee would be. She replied ... I won't take a single cent and that's absolutely non negotiable. Well... Trina decided that deserved a very special thank you. I cut a 17" diameter slice off a dead hemlock and she went to workin'. First drew out a pencil line of the layout. Then burned it. Followed that with a BUNCH of coats of boiled linseed oil. Some colored pencils. And in the next few days it'll get a bit of polyurethane. The phrase on the back was done at the request and wording of the receiver. And for Trina's mom... We found a small piece of driftwood when we were up north last week... Trina burned in the name of the nearest named township. Kokadjo. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,913 #3 Posted August 25, 2022 Awesome stuff! I’ve done three weddings now and haven’t made a dime or penny for that matter either. Glad to be part of them, but I have the ability to list my services for a fee and marry total strangers. Doesn’t sound fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're tent campers and not into winter camping so that doesn't affect us. There's a little outpost store/campground at the end of the asphalt. Unfortunately they aren't exactly the easiest people to deal with so we don't stop there. The many many other fishing camps and sporting guide places were definitely busy. There's no shortage of water up there and streams are flowing nicely. Moose watching vans were out as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
