I'm not there any more (lived in east greenbush 2010-12). But I heard it was pretty chilly there this morning.

Snow? Wazzat? We haven't had any significant snow this winter at all. Today was almost 70 degrees.

Where are you at in Vermont?

 

[Jon E]

Right on the NYS line, about 10 miles north of Bennington. We haven't gotten more than about 3" of snow all winter, and it lasted less than two weeks.

We go through Bennington a few times a year on the way to Manchester. I like the little hamburger stand in Bennington down by the river.

Started setting up logs today

 

[JONSSTIHL]

better check the hollowed out logs for squirrels this time. Looks like there are almost more cookie cutting logs than firewood logs. should be interesting.

Should have more wood by the GTG plus some pine cants from MCobb2!

 

[166]

Gonna try to keep track of who and how many show to the GTG.

I'm going to make a sign in book which will include:
Real Name
Site Name (s)
Location
How many saws did you bring?

When you sign in you can fill out a raffle ticket to win a Makita Cordless / Corded 4.5" Grinder Kit.

Jeremy is planning on a group photo of all the site members. Gotta figure out when will be the best time. Just before lunch or after lunch??

Scotty 49 has offered to help with sign in and the grinder raffle tickets. Probably going to have this setup in a white pop-up tent somewhere near the cutting area.

Food will be a similar setup to last year.

Any suggestions??

Here's a preview of the wood that is here. mcobb is bringing some cants as well!

May have a bit more by the weekend.

Just wondering if I should throw some old saws for sale in the truck . Is others bringing saws to sell ? Is it welcome? .I cant miss it but working tonight and headed up in the am again .

 

[nstueve]

Weeeoooo weeeooooh... Bad boys, bad boys... Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Bad boys, bad boys. Whatcha gonna do...

 

[Ambull]

What time does things get started? Sorry if I missed it somewhere. BTW I'm coming. I will bring some heavy hitters with me.

 

[Ambull]

Also I don't think anybody has a problem with anybody selling saws. As far as I know that type of thing always happens at GTG's.

 

[Paragon Builder]

I'm leaving about 4am. Should roll in 7:30 or so.
