Well one thing is for certain, Matt. You're not constipated :msp_rolleyes:
 
Hey... Did somebody mention "BIG WOOD"???

perv... LOL

Looking good! I only have a 30in on big blue right now.

I doubt i'll get much of any of my saw work done before sat. Probably going to take tomorrow and friday off work just to get things tidy around the place, and try to make room for parking!

Tenters bring exta blankets! we'll have a bon-fire friday night to sit around no worries but not sure that will help those tenting... Actually the old school cowboy method was to burn a big fire and get lots of coals, then you dig a 6in deep hole and put the coals under the dirt where you sleep. That starves the oxygen to the coals and they stay warm all night under the dirt radiating heat upward to the person sleeping on the gound. Just a little info flash back. Ive done it before but you need to be careful to put enough dirt on top or your bedding or you will get burned...

Send string whips with TreeMonkey!!!
:waaaht:

I just sent Pele a PM to see if he'd bring some cheese down to the shop on Friday so I don't have to run up to Gburg Friday morning. Whips are of course on the list.

Pretty sure I'll have a bit of Leinies in the cooler as well, but a bottle of that homebrew looks mighty appealing!

Might have to send homebrew home with some that want a taste... might not be done carbonating by Sat... I'll try one out fri/sat to see... Although... I drank some uncarbonated while bottling and I would drink that sweet nectar of the GODs without carbonation!!!! I changed my reciepe a little from those who've had it before. Vanilla beans oak cubes went in during 2nd ferment only and I think that will make the flavors POP a little more. Used Jim Beam Black for the bourbon addition during bottling!

Also might have some soft Tupelo Honey IPA, Vanilla Cream Ale, or Organic Brown Ale that might find there way out of the house... Not sure how my stocks are holding up...
 
GTG Location...

Not exactly a wide open field but it'll due... Trucks are gone and have been replaced by a lot of logs... New pics coming tonight...

when you look at the addy on Google maps you can see we're nestled into the woods. You can see there is a "upper" and "lower" level. most of the action will be on the lower level. The entrance to the lower level is actually off Fulton Street on directly north of the house. I will have it marked with signs, balloons, pink ribbon... whatever is handy and visible!
 
What was the scrap price on the trucks? I passed on some running Cat D7E's two weeks ago as I heard the scrap price was way off.

Bill

one truck is loaded on andy's trailer and ready to go. Just called alter and it's $110/ton on vehicles. I have to wait on a salvage/junk/abandond title for the truck before it leaves. The other truck got pushed around behind the shed. Was hoping to get 2 trucks gone but not lookin to good right now...

<<<< TRADING >>>>
Anyone got a good long range scope? I finally found a left handed bolt action 30/6. Has a tasco on it now... That just won't due...

We could clear cut the whole area:hmm3grin2orange: Most likely all down by noon if we work together:msp_w00t:
 
$110/ton is what I heard a few weeks ago. That is really low compared to the $240 it was earlier. There were two running D7E dozers on an auction here a few weeks ago. The first brought about $5500 and the other was $3400. I was thinking about them but a guy there said scrap was only $110 ton. I figured I can run one until it puked then scrap it but at $110/ton that would be $3080. Probably should have went for them anyway as the market is bound to go back up
