Northeast Wisconsin GTG thinking of having one

[specter29]

well i got most of the storm damaged trees cut up i was wrong on the count though there was 11 trees downed but good news is we got a bunch of nice clean oak to cut at the GTG and a couple of pieces that are cut in 8' sections that the old Kubota L5740 would barely pick so there at least 28" if not better. And its some hard stuff to had to sharpen the chain at least 4 to 5 times while cutting up the majority of it. I'll finish up the cutting next weekend and let it air out till the GTG .

Man this is a great idea! Have a gtg, meet new ppl bull#### with old friends and also get your wood cut for the winter lol. I would like to come but it maybe the weekend of the county fair around here and was already gonna talk to the fair board about maybe throwing something like this together. But if I can make it that means ill have to stop collecting junk and try to put it together. Also when is the baraboo show? Is that the same weekend as the steam and gas show?

We'd be happy to have you but the one this weekend in Kalispel, MT would be a lot closer for you!

Oh sorry, I see I havent updated my location yet lol. I grew up close to Marshfield Wi. Then moved down by LaCrosse for 7 years then mom and dad decided that northern Idaho was the place to be. I moved back to the LaCrosse area about 6 months ago

I sure can't argue with your Mom and Dad. Loved my time in CDA.

almost 2 months away :cool2: right now I have about 35 8' sections of a mix of oak, beech, and red pine ranging from about 12" to 28" in diameter still working on getting the big one as right now.

For heads up saftey requirements are going to be eye protection, hearing protection, and chaps. Don't want any accidents of course but would like everybody to be safe as possible to start with as anyone would.

as far as food goes im thinking if everybody can throw in 5 Dollars per person and I'll get a bunch of bratwurst,hotdogs, and hamburgers for lunch or pizza. I'll have soda and water for those that want during the day and I'll get some other stuff for after. For those that will be there in the morning im thinking something along the lines of Coffee, pancakes, eggs and bacon ( of course I'll have to check with cook if she feels up to the breakfast thing first :hmm3grin2orangeotherwise I may see about meeting at the local diner they got great breakfast and pie and its within 10 minutes of me.

those that want to come the day before are welcome to I'll be having a bonfire the night before. There is some room for those that want to camp out. I will have food and drinks there will be adult drinks the night before and after all the cutting is done on saturday ABSOLUTELTY none during GTG.

any questions you can post or pm me.
