Chris I'm not sure if you noticed but you are now at 999 posts so I just wanted to give you a big shout out for your contribution to this forum over the last few years, you'll be only the second member to hit 1000 posts after Rhybak did it a while back and is now at 1039.
Honorable mention to Puckster as well, Joe is at 993 so not far behind.

Cheers lads

Wow! I didn't even know. So here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS POST 1000

Not to get all sentimental or teary eyed, but this forum has made a serious impact on my life, since it is what brought me to Kipawa. Without it, I am not sure I would have known about all its wonderfulness.

"Boarder opening dependent" I hope to get trips 7 & 8 in this year. My July trip is currently scheduled with my Son in laws and their sons/my grand sons. That has me more fired up than usual! I can't wait.

I was hanging out with my oldest grandson last night, puttering on a project in the garage with him when he brings the trip up. He says "Papa........... Will we see Sasquatch when we go to Canada?"  LOL.. I call him J Bears, I said "J Bears, Sasquatch is a bunch of horse shirt" he says "I think its real" I said the only hairy monster your gonna see in Canada is me if you open the shower curtain while we are there!

This post is the kind of value I bring here! LOL! Post 1000 and it has a similar worldly impact and value as the other 999

Thanks Smitty and all here, I've made some real friends here and really appreciate it. I hope once all this Covid nonsense is over, that we can put together a KFF Convention/Meet & Greet. I would be willing to host a dinner, I make a mean wood fired pizza!

Hey Hodgey,
What are the dimension of your pizza oven. Hard to tell from your pic.
I wouldn't mind building one at camp using all natural stones from the property.

Personal pan pizzas for the group.

Congrats on hitting the 1000 posts. quite a milestone.
Sure hope the border does get opened up. Real interested in meeting you.
  Hodgey, I think you're the type of guy who could make a Camp really tick along.

It is a 42” round Pompeii oven

Here’s a link to photos of my build

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

The pizza oven project only took me three summers to bring it all together. LOL . It is my biggest accomplishment and most useful project I have ever done.

 Great job Hodgey, What a piece of work. Seeing as my stone mason skills are zero, I think I'll stick to my store bought BBQ. I've done some pretty good work on my cabin, I think I can build things. I'm not so sure about that tho.
