Sunday Night
Damn that's lookin beautiful. I can't wait for this weekend!
Will, I guess I missed you on Sunday! I left at 6:00 after putting on the Super-sets with Jack. I hope they were to your liking.
I can't wait until the ground-crew only logs start going up and stack really starts growing. I love Turbo-stack.

Yeah, I arrived right around 7:30. Supersets looked great.
Badass job last night (to those of you who came). The 6-12 shift stuck with it. Thanks guys.
Heard the 12-6 shift flat tore it up - partially because of a certain Neeley swing and Walton swing, too (Ashley and Joey).
People rip on Neeley, but apparently their quadrant was finished wayyyyyyyy before others.
One of my sisters has my camera, so I will probably post pictures tomorrow (after I get it back at stack tonight).

Good bull Ags! Looks great!
Midnight tonight:
Whoop! Keep posting
Ya'll get ready for some rain, then some real Stack wether (Highs: 60s, Lows: 30s) for the rest of the week!

Opie, that's okay.
It can rain right now as long as we get a break from thursday-saturday night.

A little rain today, and then clear for the rest of the week.
NOTE FOR NEXT YEAR:
Plan a longer stack schedule with more slack time. If it had rained just two days, it's quite possible stack wouldn't get finished. There wasn't any real wiggle room this year or last.

As of 0600 this morning (WHOOP!)
Ain't she purty?

Don't worry Keegan, Ags always find a way to get it done.
Git 'r done!
p.s. I believe we're stacking Tier #3 right now.
Whoop! Ill be there for the burning!
Starting to get nice and fat. BTHOB!
Stack swallowed the Windle Sticks!!1!
Having the shift schedules is really nice, and the rope crews are also an improvement. There was tremendous progress this year. I wish I could hang around B/CS for another 5 years to see how it grows.
Did I hear correctly that logs from this point on aren't going to be taglined since they'll be shorter?
I'm not sure about how things will go in the future, but last night, they were back to slamming the logs with crews and y-sticks.
Large logs still utilize the tagline, from what I understand.

That is correct, Keegan. I worked the early shift last night and we only tagged one log due to it's size.
The slamming process has been modified from last year. It can still use some improvement IMO, but it is MUCH better than last year's process.

How so?
Good deal. No taglines = faster stack.
Turbo-Stack still has to be my favorite tier. The Stack grows by a larger percentage during that stage than any other. There is just so much energy that close to Burn, and everyone who wants to gets to work.
If y'all start turbo-stack before Thursday night, I'll be UPSET.

BR, how is it better or how can it be improved?
It's better because it is more deliberate in the placement of the y-sticks and the initial lift of the logs. The logs are lifted (heaved) a little closer to stack before the slamming starts and the Ys don't slide as much into the fingers of the crews.
Improved? On some of the larger logs, I'd like to see more than one heave and reposition and "walk" the log into place.

I was asking how it was better than last year. I remember thinking last year that the process didn't work terribly well (although I can't remember what prompted me to have that thought).
Last year, short people got a raw deal. They got squished into stack by people rushing to help push up logs. With the effective use of Y-sticks, this discomfort has been allieviated a bit.

As a stump, I take pride in the fact that I got crushed up against stack. Suffering for the greater good or something.
And that also was why I learned how to climb stack and wire very early on my freshman year.

By the way, as a former Cock, I must admit that flag on top is damn purty!

You were in C-2...?
Keep it up, Ags.
It's going to be a close finish

I once saw Smitty slam two logs at once by himself, one on each side of stack. He wired them with his tongue and took home '05 dates after stack.
