Minnesota,Wisconsin,Iowa, Dakotas GTG's thread

[8433jeff]

All the hooligans (except me) have been off GTGin down at Matts place. Me - hanging out with the parts washer working on an Oly 264F.

Burning all the bark and junk that accumulated in the wood room over the winter rather than go outside for real wood. Spring can get here any time it likes.

Will it be in Iowa?

Yes, barring me screwing it up royally. Think I'll have a couple others going by then too - a S25CVA, a Craftsman/Roper 3.7, and maybe some more if I have enough time to get em up and running. Nothing real cool, but cheap old toys to play with anyhow, and that's about all I'm about really.

The Mac guys have got me looking for an 82cc PM though. Price will have to be right - I am cheap ya know!

Got up to Amery only to find out the gun show is the 13th/14th. Looks like I'll be missing that and the open house at wetgunpowder's this weekend. (got other plans this weekend)

Although it's kinda short notice, for any of the locals who are interested, there is a cutting/splitting party that is set for April 20th (weather/ground conditons permitting) just west of Ellsworth. The local motel (Motel David) had part of their woods logged in the winter and had to use the parking field of the Pierce County Archery range for a landing. The archery range asked that the wood be removed ASAP this past weekend so any help will be greatly appriceated. Most logs are about 12-16" with a few being 24-26". Mostly hard/soft maple but there's some basswood, ash and oak. Shouldn't take very long to cut, but it's mostly going to be splitting. So far I have 2 gas splitters lined up with a possible 3rd, along with a few people from the church to help out, but I'm going to pitch it again this sunday at church. We can meet for breakfast at 7 am in Ellsworth at the Hwy 63 diner over by the creamery/cheese store, then start cutting/splitting by 8. Still hashing out final details on this end, first time for me puttung one of these together. I'll try to get some pics of the cutting area up here tomorrow.

We are planning on helping Bob from Complete Auto in Dresser that day. He has 2 loads of logs to process and dry for next winter. Bob has been to Denny's numerous times and is the guy who keeps the dump truck running so Denny can make his deliveries. His wife is battling cancer for the second time and we want to get this done so he is ready for next winter.
