Wear your old duds. Take your Sat. nite shower after you get back............................................

You forgot "cover your beverages" - unless you like a little extra something in em. Season opener for Cedar Lake Speedway down the road from my place is 4/11 - hope the weather cooperates - there were a lot of weekends cancelled last spring.

Iowa Speedway is a blast too - and pretty reasonable price wise - when she wants to see the paved side of racing. It's literally half the reasons I have to go to Iowa - saws being the other of course!

Well, I remembered pictures when we were on the way home. Nuts. Got my truck and splitter, a flatbed trailer and a port-a-potty down there. Ed's going to bring 2 or3 more flatbeds to leave on site. Did a lot of driving around, scoping things out and coming up with a plan of attack. We identified one area that we want to concentrate on and where we will put John's log bucking trailer and the splitters for Saturday's job. Friday will probably be spent using the tractors pulling out more that is close by and staging it. Saturday would like to continue bringing out more wood with the tractors, possibly at 2 other locations too, and using Doug's toolcat to keep the log bucking trailer full. If you look on Google sattlelite of the land, at the south end there is a pond next to a barn. We're thinking of bringing the processed wood there and stacking on some old cattle gates set up on concrete water troughs. Kind of a raised platform. If we can get some pallets we will set that up for stacking wood also. Some of this depends on where the landowner will let us store the wood. While I would like to stack and store the wood properly, we might just have to make a pile. Which is OK. We can get local volunteers to load big trucks later in the year. Plus we can get some of the clients to come get their own wood, the ones that are able to.
It looks like this Charity Cut is going to be a HUGE success, but only because of you guys and the equipment that you all are bringing. A very heartfelt thank you to everyone that can come and are coming.
You are the best friends anyone could ask for. I can't wait to get all my buddies back together again.

Made a video bucking a log onto a trailer. Got to use my Christmas present the camera.

big big thank you to squires logging!

 

[Oliver1655]

That is a neat machine! Is this the one your are planning to bring to Mansfield? I'm looking forward to seeing it up close.

 

[sam-tip]

Yes the toolcat will be at Mansfield. Not the skidder.

Steve, how is it looking for volunteers from the community this time around?

 

[workshop]

Can hardly wait to see that toolcat.

Possibly 1 or 2 Church groups. Also possible that a national/international nonprofit wants to come down to train their people in storm damage cutting. I'm not 100% sure on this, though. Everyone is in the thinking stage still.

Cobey has a race chain now...
We took the stock chain @ 13 seconds and made it square filed @ 9 seconds...
And a pretty good running 2159...
Then we tuned it...

26°F this am. 11 days & counting til prep-day for Mansfield cut.

 

[Oliver1655]

Saw the movie "God is dead NOT" yesterday. My wife & I thought it was well done. We definitely can recommend it!

Coming "Easter 2014" is a movie about the boy who died & went to Heaven then was revived. Previews look good. We will be going to see it also.
