Ohio GTG Jan 3rd

[wkpoor]

I am setting up for a GTG at my place (Amanda, OH) on the 3rd. I realize this is risky this time of year but a few others are interested in coming over on that date so I'm opening it up to anyone else interested. I'm planning on having firewood rounds of various sizes and if they get done in time some 8x8 and 10x10 cants. There will be an inside sit down dinner served around noon. Anyone interested please PM me so I can have a head count and contact information if you wish so as to contact persons to reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate. Also this date isn't written in stone. If a consensus would prefer another date just let me know.

Count me in Bill.

Damn, There is one on the 10th in Indiana that I was planning on also, I can only make one of them, thats too much traveling too close together, not sure the wife will like consecutive weekends going to GTG's, I'd love to make yours Bill, I'll have to get the mileage from my place to yours. I'll let ya know for the head count

This makes two recent GTGs I would have attended, if I lived in Columbus.

It's only 39 hours and 50 minutes for me.

Where's Olivet at? How far to the Indiana/Michigan line at I-69?? Carpool?

I hate having to miss one of Bills GTGs

His wife goes all out on the dinner.. lots of cookies and wonderful food..
If Bill ever stops cutting firewood he will soon weigh 300 pounds.

I'm three miles from mile 51 exit on I-69. Columbus area is 300 miles one way, more or less. If I drive ten hours in one day, driving is going to be about the only thing I do that weekend.
I picked up some Cub Cadet parts about 150 miles away earlier this month, and the 5 hour drive took a lot out of me.

1200miles...

hm...

I was just offering to carpool, I live about 20 miles south from the Indiana/Michigan line off of I-69, if you wanted to drive to my place we could head down. But I agree driving long distances in one day sucks

Sounds great, now I will only take cash My address is.... When Can I expect the money?? LOL Nice offer man, but gas is much more affordable now, save your money for some more saws to bring to the GTG.

Feel free to bring all the saws you like running or not. No matter how many you bring though you will never out bring Snelling He should be traveling to these things with a step van or enclosed trailer in tow.

 

[Tzed250]

[stihlboy]

I'm trying to break that habit. It's a lot of work. But what's a guy supposed to do when He works on all these saws and there's no one that appreciates them like you guys do. Of course maybe I'll leave with a few less to make room for the next ones

also id like to try my 066mag with a BIG bar....brad??

My longes bar for that saw is a brand new 32" Sugihara. You're welcome to try it out. I've got the 36" and 50" for the 084. I might even have the 076 together by then with any luck. I hope to get the box tomorrow or Monday. I'll have three crankcases of parts to work from!!!
