Iowa Spring GTG

[HEAVY FUEL]

Bump

Is still set for April 30th?

 

[Homelite410]

Yes, April 30 is a go. I got a couple logs lined up so far and will have more as the time draws closer. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know as this is my first time hosting a GTG. :hmm3grin2orange:

I have a saw that should be good and broke in by that time. He He He.

 

[struggle]

I really want to make this but it is a long shot and around four hours for me to drive. Do have friends in State center.

WHAT?!? After talking down others on your AR/OK/etc. thread, now you are going to subscribe?


:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Sorry I hadn't read this thread in a while. :hmm3grin2orange: I had to reread the other thread, I had no idea what you were talking about. I then found it and we did get to having a little fun, we were just playing because we know everyone is reading it. :hmm3grin2orange:

I told Eric he better not make yours faster than mine!

I can justify the drive but convincing my wife that I should go drive four hours to run a chainsaw is sometimes a difficult concept for a woman to understand:msp_unsure:

You have to speak their language. Explain to her that there is a Coach outlet store near by where you are going and if she doesn't give you any grief about the trip she just may get a present from there.

I found out if you start drinkin early enough you don't have to run a chainsaw! Prolly had more fun just watchin other guys run mine.

That's odd. I don't have that problem. Mine's always trying to get me to leave. :hmm3grin2orange:

Hmmm, maybe I should go to the OK/AR GTG!

Sioux city area. I think it is something like 180 miles when I googled it. Maybe I figured it wrong. I did drive to Perry this winter to just ride a bike 23 miles (BRR ride) so this is really not out of line for me:msp_tongue:

Heavy Fuel and I have 311 miles one way with the shortest route!

Someone who has hosted can probably tell you more but mostly, you just want to have a variety of woods, some BIG stuff for the big saws, some medium and ideally, some cants for racing and a way to support them off the ground.

 

[TALLGUY]

I am checking my schedule to see if I can attend. I had a good time last year when Mitch hosted. It is a long drive from Sux land but what better to do on a spring morning.

 

[Ronaldo]

Homelite 410 just where around Belle Plaine are you? Is the plan still the same ( April 30 ). Looking forward to attending my first GTG. Besides saws what do I need to bring?

 

[Homelite410]

7588 Hwy 21, Belle Plaine, IA 52208 is the address. We are on Highway 21, 2 miles North of Belle Plaine, and 3 miles South of Hwy 30, and located on the East side of the road just North of Vet clinic. We are having a pot luck type dinner around noon so please bring something to share.

 

[Homelite410]

Had a good saturday, I headed over to Ronaldos place and along with his brother we built 3 sets of saw bucks for race cants and dropped a widowmaker of a maple for the gtg. I've got a big cotton wood and Ronaldo has a couple hard dry oak logs to bring over. Looks like all is shaping up well for wood, now just to find some time to get chains sharp ans saws ready will be the next thing. Thanks to Ron and your brother for all the help..
