Charity cutting for Interfaith Caregivers-- April 17 2010

[lazermule]

Sounds like a really good time guys. I'd be there if my wife wasn't turning 40 that day. I'm throwing her a party so I kinda gotta be a part of it.... I'm less than an hour away and I come through G-Burg all the time as I have a few properties in Webster. Love the area!

We did a similar GTG for a fund raiser for my son's wrestling team. We have a local land clearer who donated a couple of loads of wood (his kid wrestles too) and a bunch of us (and the wrestlers) got together and cut-split and stacked it. Kind of fun doing a man vs. machine challenge with the wrestlers trying to keep up with hydraulic splitters, makes for some good muscle building and some serious production. All proceeds go to the wrestling team

Have fun guys and be safe, if theres a NE wind maybe I'll be able to smell the 2 stroke smoke from here.

I'll have the camera along. It doesn't make "show quality" video, but plenty decent enough for youtube type work.

I tried using it to catch WGP actually working at the last charity cutting, but it seems to have malfunctioned...I'll try again Saturday!

The trees are leaners and down, kinda spread around. We can do what ever guys are comfortable with. Some like to cut by themselves and some as a team. We aren't fussy. I'm just glad that everyone is coming to help.

If the weather guesser's are close it should be a great day to cut some wood. 59 for the high with sun to partly cloudy.

Is anyone bringing a powered splitter? Or is this just cutting & loading?

 

[lazermule]

Should be too terribly dry there either if Grantsburg is getting the same storm that the Twin Cities got this morning....

 

[Beefie]

Who's all coming up on friday?:dunno:

It doesn't look good for me for the safety meeting, but I'll be up by 8 a.m. latest on Saturday. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty day out there, and my saws are getting HUNGRY! Just got done putting a 3-port muffler on the 038M, so she's opened up even a bit more than the original muff mod.

 

[MN Ripper]

I'll be there at 8am on Saturday. Should be a good day! Wonder how many will come to do this?

 

[GrizzlyAdams86]

Hopefully I can leave early enough saturday morning to make it to Dale's for breakfast. 4-wheeler won't be coming with, though. The Dakota needed new rear brakes so there went getting some ramps.

 

[Beefie]

Well I am hafe way loaded . Got the 6 wheeler strapped down in the back of the truck. Will just hafe to load the saws and gas up. I better not forget the beer thoe.O the wife is baking some cookie bars for the safty meeting as I type .

[grandpatractor]

I finally made it home after a long day. We look forward to meeting you all tomorrow night and Saturday morn. I'll be at WetGunPowders all day tomorrow. I plan on sharpening my saws at the safety meeting.
