Do we need to have a Georgia GTG?

[fearofpavement]

Yeah and look what I wrangled today from a construction site!
Pics below. So with what hsell is bringing we should be good on the big wood.

 

[fearofpavement]

Bit off more than I can chew. Actually had to shorten it up. I could drag it but not lift it.

[fearofpavement]

Appreciate the offer to cut the logs into firewood but I'm all set on cut wood for now. I'll just leave what we don't use in log length and cut it up as required. (it keeps better as logs than rounds)
I sell some wood but not much usually. So cookie cutting is fine with me. The cookies will get burned in the furnace and the sawdust or noodles we make will either be animal bedding, floor dry or compost for the garden. So nothing's going to go to waste...
I do a lot of saw testing and wind up turning my firewood rounds into noodles or cookies so I will probably bring a few logs to the house for that purpose.

Bilge Rat and Wife
are planning to get there

Will bring something, maybe peas, beans, or dessert like Key Lime Pie.

I inherited some machinest tools that are too large for my little lathe that i may bring if someone needs them.
1/2" tool bits, carbide inserts, milling cutters, keyway cutters, endmills, etc.
Starrett, Browne and Sharpe, and Mitzatoyo mikes, 1 thru 6" Height gauge, edge finders, thread pitch gauges, calipers, dial indicators and mounts etc. More stuff than i could ever use.

My fishing buddy was in the aircraft building industry and large job shops before that.
I will bring some of this if anyone can use it . I would like for someone to get some use out of this good quality stuff for reasonable cost.

We have a monster lathe in the hangar. Maybe some of the tooling would fit that. It's a LeBlonde 19. You can check it out when you come.

I just got a larger lathe and could use more tooling. I let moist of my old tooling go with the small lathe that I traded.

My what nice logs you have come across. I guess I should get the minor bits together for the saws and such. I finished up wiring my trailer to 12v and may haul the junk in it. Lights work, everything is good. Loaded the camper on the truck and got it fairly cleaned up, checked out everything, I may leave it that way until I get back from the GTG. Gotta love the occasional 3 day weekend. Before you give me grief, I do average 54-55 hrs a week. I've got a pic of the camper, not from today, but from when we got it and went out west. I think it's from SD, Crazy Horse Mem and Mt. Rushmore.

This will be my hostel while down there. FOP, any issue with coming down Friday?

Sweet Ride.

And the camper is ok too

 

[morewood]

The paint is faded on the cab/hood pretty good now. It does have some 3rd gen 17' chrome wheels on it now

Shea

The A/C not working is a bummer though.

No problem with Friday arrivals.

Temps will still be in the low-mid nineties...

 

[morewood]

It's not the temps that bother me, it's the humidity. Been without A/C for a while now. It isn't a money issue, a downtime issue. Once I put it in the wind I'll survive the trip down. If I need to cool down that's what gas stations and fast food joints are for.

I thought the AS had lost its air. I hate to sleep hot.

 

[morewood]

It's not an AS, but an 1966 Avion C-10. The guy I bought it from put a coleman A/C unit on about 4 years ago. It works. On to the important stuff, are you going to make it murph? Football is generally a Thursday/Friday thing unless it's youth league and if he is playing baseball it isn't school related. Remember, we don't want no excuses, just results. Hope to see you there.

I'll get in touch with you closer to the date, but I plan on leaving here that morning.

[morewood]

Got these from the handheld mobile device. You are welcome to check out the A\C when you show up murph.

The camper of coolness!

 

[morewood]

You got it brother. The a/c unit will freeze you out of that little camper. All will be welcome in my humble abode, an oasis of awesomeness
