We saw this exhibit out in front of the zoo. I'll give you three guesses of why we stopped to look at it, but you are only going to need one.

From the Forest
Some pictures of what Justin gets to do every week. I should probably have him write these posts so that he could explain what is actually happening. I just thought they were cool pictures.
I can tell you this one below is of the Grapple Processor Head working. This is the new product Pierce Pacific is coming out with and Justin will be the main guy selling it.

Oregon Logging Conference
Justin went to the Oregon Logging Conference the year before we were married. It was like a huge toy box for him and his uncle. They have wanted to go back ever since then. Last year, we thought Justin was going to be able to attend, but because of a variety of reasons it didn't work out. This year, he went as an employee for one of the companies that is showcased at it. Crazy how life works out.
Here are a few pics of the day. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of what Justin will be doing for his new job.
These are a couple of the products his company sells. They are called grapples and are used for picking up wood and moving it around.
The Grappel Processor or the GP.This is the brand new product that Pierce Pacific is releasing this Spring. It combines two processes into one. There was a lot of hype about it at the conference. There hasn't been very many new products released in the forestry industry for a long time. This created some excitement at the conference. Justin is currently learning the ins and outs of this product in preparation to sell it.
A big log loader.
A booth at the conference was selling these wood logging models. Very cool and precise.
Chainsaw Art.
This is called a Skidder.
Also, I saw many real life loggers. I recognized them by the resemblance they had to Paul Bunyon. Maybe he was there ancestor? They wore flannel shirts, suspenders, jeans that were cut off at the top of their boots, and logging boots. They also had beards. It was rather entertaining. Great conference, lots of wood- we felt at home.
