feelin like i'm already falling behind on setting up for the GTG... Anyone happen to have a car/truck trailer around the DSM area? Need to get rid of a few rusty trucks to make room on the lower level for LOGS!
Hope all is well GUYS!

Are you wanting to scrap them or save them? Around here everyone is advertising looking for scrap. You could get somebody to haul them on shares and they would be gone in a day. It is bad enough around here it would not surprise me if people do not start stealing junk cars from isolated places.
I've seen the signs... $200 for junk cars. I called and I still only get $200 for a 3/4 ton pickup. I can get $400-$500ea if I haul them in myslef. I figure 1 Sat afternoon is worth an extra $400! And yes i'm junking them. I have a 1/2 ton 86 f150 bed filled with scrap metal and a 3/4 ton 89 F250 that probably weighs the same as the f150... Only need to pull them 20miles to DSM.
That's fine... I'm just getting antsy about the GTG and getting the place all set up. Rather have it set up 2-3 weeks early than be rushing the week before!
ALL:
Be fore-warned I don't have a morton building, so hopefully I can locate a canopy/tent to set up lunch and breakfast under. I'll try to locate folding tables and chairs but bring a bag chair just in case!!!

Your garage will work fine for food.. and we can sit on tailgates if need be!
LOL... Garage??? What garage??? Mine is filled up with tools and chainsaws! :msp_biggrin:
I'm just planning for the worst in case rain should hit and we need a dry place to stand.
I'll try to vacate some room in my garage and lower shed too.

Yup... Won't be the first time we've worked and ate off a tailgate... Or the last...
:msp_wink:
Doug said he'll bring the pop up awning/tent! We'll owe Doug a big thanks b/c he'll probably be hauling the logs to my house and helping me set them up since I don't have toys/tools cool enough to get the job done. 
Rough it or not we'll have a good time!

I think i can muster up a 10x10 EZ up to bring along!! Just make sure you got room in that garage to plug in a few crockpots.

Don't sweet it as long as you have some wood and a place to BS every one will be happy.
thanks guys... I have a large 15x15 or so ez-up coming.
I'll try to clean the garage and pile up the best I can. worst case senerio we can put the crock pots on folding tables and run extention cords and power strips!

At the NASCAR races I go to, they're usually about $100 for the week to have a private one at your campsite. I'd imagine a local guy who doesn't have a big event going on would do better.
