Midwest GTG March 12th 2011

How early in the AM?

I am thinking that we could leave with a group around 7:30-8 and then another could follow Jon or the dumptruck backout around 9-9:30. Then we would be back around noonish.

I could also post Coordinates and a map for those with a GPS or good map skills.
Not to hard to find.

So far plans are still written in sand. But, at least it still looks promising.
GPT, how many trees you looking at tipping over? Do I need to pick up any extra wedges?

I don't know how many GOL'ers will be there, but I'm thinking some sort of felling accuracy test......

Still hoping to see you all there....

 

[grandpatractor]

I dropped a couple dozen trees today and didn't use a wedge on any. I think I will start another thread and tell you all about my other fun tho.

Additional Visitor ?

I can't guarantee it, but I am hoping to bring out a guy to demo the Oregon PowerSharp, self-sharpening chain system.

There have been a couple of threads on it here on A.S., and this would give guys a chance to try it out.

BTW - I am also planning on bringing some 'breakfast pastries' to the GTG. These are easy for me to transport and seemed to be popular the last time I brought them. I plan on arriving between 8 and 9AM.

Look forward to seeing you all.

Right now the forecast shows 27 degrees for the 12th so we might not have to wear hip waders. Not sure if I will make it out for the GOL, right now all I can think about is the safety meeting Friday night and Breakfast at T-Dawgs.:msp_thumbup:

Could you please do this for us? I will most likely be driving straight to the woods from here that morning to try and make the "GOL" demonstration(haha). I will be taking 8 over, then north on 87.

Thanks

well I just may need to find some gas and sharpen a chain. Don't know if I've ran a saw since last years GTG.

what's this meeting Fri night at T-Dawgs? I just may need to venture out.

What should I bring? Cheap booze, suppressed weapons, women with low self esteem and a few saws? Anything else?


For kicks JD and Heavy, look on youtube and type up "marty nelson" I had a friend make up a short video clip of my other hobby, and old pulling tractor that I haven't ran for a few years now and have been working on this winter.

 

[HEAVY FUEL]

Must be "Marty Nelson gone bellistic" I thought you could only drive green tractors.

??????Now the forecast is 39. That didn't take long to change.
