It's getting close boys... Weekend lumberjack won't be able to make it up, but his 350 is done and we are making plans to give it a ride up there in the mystery machine...:rock:
Wait a minute, the big guy will not be there? In shock, I guess I'll have to fill in somehow. He and I rebuilt my Makita 6401 with an NWP BBK, thus creating a stallion. I'll try to represent his genius.

See you at sundown tomorrow. Do I need to bring any firewood bundles? Somebody said we might be short of wood heat. :popcorn:
 
Bad news. Me and maybe Grizzly might be a scratch. Car started growling at me on the way to work, suspect frt wheel bearing. Called my wrench bender and he will try to get it up tomorrow but no promises.

Grizzly pm coming.

That's a one hour repair on a hoist 1 1/2 on a floor jack. No worries get it done and stop hitting curbs with it like a demo car:taped:
 
I know you said you weren't in iowa in the late seventies but who can you really trust...
 
Norwalk, IA or Bust

Look at it this way. I have to deliver a full truckload of firewood tomorrow morning (that's 80 cu ft) to a customer and 200 miles aways from the Iowa GTG. I'll still be there in Norwalk before sundown Friday, one way of the other.

That's my objective. :msp_thumbsup:

I vote for firewood bundles. Thinkin' they'll come in mighty handy, based on tonight's temps here. I promise to feed the fire 'til the wee hours. Now, if for some reason there was no firewood to be had, I bet we could have the place clear cut in NO time......

Wait, I think I already read about what might happen if clear cutting were to occur.
 
Ok I kind of feel like a girl trying to pick out an outfit for tomorrow. How this what i came up with for an outfit:D

I could still use those mac pistons we spoke about.
sorry no big mac's to be seen... I'd have to dig pretty deep and didn't have the time before they closed.

Should have plenty of fire wood... I have 5big 40+in rounds from an elm that are my test cutting logs... Plus plenty of wood in the shed. bring a few bundles if you wish...

Struggle...
I'd going to dawn a pair of overalls, dirty tee-shirt, and probably some sort of hat. If you want to plan to match that is..

Oh BTW. Here is the sign to look for off hwy 28. 4mile north of martensdale (left turn) or 4miles south of norwalk (right turn). Big A-frame on SW corner of Fulton and 50th Ave "T" intersection!

I am thinking I will bring a few big ones, a few small ones, maybe a couple of in betweeners, a few gear drives including the BP-1, a few for Bill to take back to SE Iowa, and some assorted vintage parts & stuff for anyone interested to pick through. Oh yeah, the bone stock well broken in 2050 for comparison.

And one smoked pork loin.

Any requests?

Big macs? How about the titan 50 and 57's we talked about dragging out.
