dang pigs...have pretty much rototilled everything on the Cloverdale property I didnt' see one of the suckers a couple weeks back, however. Time for a pig hunt

 

[singinwoodwackr]

well, heck....if food 'might' be provided I just might pull down the tent and bag and camp Sat night...hate to bring all the cooking gear

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Yeah Cloverdale always has had many of them. If it wasn't for a squealing cattle rancher, we wouldn't pressure that spot so much, don't want to run em all off now, LOL! Jeanne and I looked for property in Cloverdale, at the time it was more than we could afford, but always liked the area.

i was hoping to head out fri morn, but just got this damn park job extended for 8 more fatties, so hopefully i might be able to drive threw fri night and roll in sat am, worst case i'll leave real early sat morn. and roll in about 9hrs later. i'll try not to be cranky when i get there.

I'd suggest you grab some Z's after that park job and then burn down early Saturday morning. You're not going to have any fun if you work all day, drive all night, and then expect to stay up with us when you get here...

Eccentric should have a head count. BBQ sounds good to me.

A head count is dificult with this one (and the head count I had for the Nov GTG was WAY off). Not everybody has responded or answered up. Also, not everybody is camping. Nearest I can figure, around 8-10 people are camping at the park. Many more plan on making day trips instead.

If everybody that has expressed intentions of being there during the day shows (counting both campers and day folks), then we've got somewhere around 15-20 people. A late afternoon/early evening group meal would get the 'big group'. Later than that, you'd just have the campers plus the 'night owls' (such as myself) as many folks will be heading home. For a morning meal you'd just have the campers plus any 'early bird' day folks.

No Sunshine Logging today!.......Hahahahahaha!

It's sunny here at the moment. Supposed to shower a bit off and on today thru tomorrow morning or so, and then clear up for the weekend. How's the weather in Chico, Ca right now Dennis?

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Raining!.......California logging code.....1st drop is an act of God. 2nd drop is your fault!....and don't let GoLogBob BS you, he's a sunshine logger!

Pouring down here, cold and breezy. Nearly half an inch since 0800 this morning.
Bringing seasoned hamburger and fresh baked buns.

I prefer a fine cooked gourmet meal but I can eat any crap that fits on a plate. Except pork sausage. Or yams.

I will take your helping of pork sausages and yams, 2 of my favorites

Are you bringing my saw ? I should pull in by mid to late morning

Very sorry to hear that.

 

[singinwoodwackr]

Very sorry to hear that.

yea, was hoping to be able to keep it but the major players (I'm not one of them) decided it was too much work and expense to keep going. o well. hanging on to non-income producing property is hard these days.
I'm hoping it takes several years to find a buyer/buyers

I probably will not be there. Hopefully next time we can put something together.

Frank you and the rest of the folks that can't make it this time will be missed. There will be other work days and GTG's at the park however.

All I ask is that you folks please keep an eye on this thread (keep notifications enabled) so you'll see when future events are talked about.

 

[RandyMac]

Right out of the oven, I tested them, they were good.

Fantastic. What do you folks need me to bring? I'll be bringing some beverages (both adult and unleaded) for after the work is done for the day.

 

[RandyMac]

Condiments.
I grabbed most of a 200 for you, it has carb, linkage and flywheel, the motor is nearly new. Anything else?
Could you bring a small saw, Annie might give a try. You have a 302?

 

[singinwoodwackr]

I tested them, they were good.

are there any left?

I'm bringing my 3 small saws...346s; 16", 18", 16" Earthquake so if someone else wants to wack trees I can only use one at a time...
