Ok, Latest update. I still haven't heard if we have camping available on site yet, but another lady said we could camp on her property. She is about 6 miles from the actual site but the highway department is taking 2.5 acres of her land for straightening county road CC. She also has quite a few trees that will be removed to make way. Some of them OLD oaks, maybe 3 feet diameter and bigger. We are trying to find out when this is supposed to start but have not heard yet. So if anyone wants to come Friday, there will be camping available (tent camping) and I am taking Friday off from work and will be setting up camp there too.
Any questions just give me a holler.
Thanks guys,
Steve

Kenneth and I will be heading over in the morning...
Possibly Stephen too... Haven't asked him yet, but he's usually game...

Seems to be easier to accumulate saws harder to decide which ones to sell. Trading is always good.:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

My place is a available... Or there are a ton of hotels in Springfield. Maybe 20 minutes from the cut site...

Steve,

This is still set for Sept 21st, right? I've been out of the loop and didn't write it down last time. I'm still in if that's the right date. I'll need an address or GPS coordinates beforehand to punch in to the electronic map I carry.

dd

P.S. I'll be bringing a saw or two you might recognize.

i just dont collect the good ones, thats my problem. someday maybe ill get a pro worksaw with some life left in it

 

[Locust Cutter]

Sorry I been out of the loop a bit...
You can put me and a large splitter down for the 21st...
I'll check with Iowa too...
He likes charity cuts...
Kenneth, you know you got a place to stay Friday night if you don't want to make the drive all in the morning...

Man, I'd love to make this, but I will still be in VA at that time. (3-26 Sept) Although I may be driving, so if it was later, I'd just take a more Southern route to my house...

That's why I'm clearing some out gonna sell the pm1000,homie 2000, and maybe the CP125

Brent, does that CP125 run decently? I still haven't gotten a "BIG" saw yet...

And stuff...

Well I could make you a "hell" of a deal on a 6401 Makita!!! The oil tank marks it's territory like a Harley, but it runs well. I'm either selling it, or getting it made into "well-done" 7900.

Kenneth, how deep is your deep well pump?

I had to hire a well truck to pull mine. 325' of iron pipe would have pulled me down that well hole like jello through a straw if I had tried it by hand and made a miscue.:msp_w00t: I went back with plastic. :msp_rolleyes:

I miss where I lived in North MO where you could drive a sand point about 20' in the ground, screw a hand well pump on it, prime it and start pumping water.

It is 140' schedule 80 pvc. I thinking on a tripod about 15 ft. with a triangle halo and a harbor freight electric hoist. We have 5 wells in the family.

That 325 would be wicked to pull. No thanks.

Where did you live in Northern Mo? I've got a place in North Central Mo and nobody is on a well which I thought strange but the concensus is that it tastes to bad to drink. It's close to Coatsville which was a coal mining area. We're on a well at our place outside of STL. Except for the water being "hard" it tastes fine there.

Yessir, Lots of motels close by, not a problem.

Nope, we're about 60 miles East of Cuba on 44.
