Whos up for a GTG 25mi North of Louisville KY?

[gink595]

Lookie here Rope... this is a first class operation we're running up here in Hooterville..... Imported logs, catered vittles with a real chef ('s hat), first class accommodations, and now live entertainment. WHOO HOO!!

First class all the way.

So I take it with all the wifes going, including mine, Dancing girls are out of the question, unless that what you meant by live entertainment

It looks like Krista(my wife) Scott (buddy) and me are in. I have to mill some more cants, I was having to much fun yesterday and cut the 8x8 up 1" at a time, hopefully it will be dry enough to get some milling done this week.

I have the big log for the gtg or will have this Friday once the ground hardens' up some and I get it loaded. (fingers cross).

I'll have it and a much smaller one. This wheather has been bad for log gathering.

Me and two AS members. Pwoller and Roddy (sorry Roddy I can't remember your SN right now).

My 3120xp with a 60 inch bar was around 5 inches short of going complete though.

It's a soft maple that's 17 feet around at the widest point and it's a soild as the come. Bring your big bars guys.

The last pic shows how big it is still at 12 feet away from the bell. That's a 60 inch bar.
It took alot of wedges and hammering (Thanks Pwoller) to bring it down. It was my fault the hinge was still too wide. I know you PNW guys are shaking your head, I'm sure. Hey it's was my first really really big tree.
Hopefully Roddy or Paul will come along and post more pix or start another thread with more pix.

If the wheather lets the ground dry up, then I'll have this log at the gtg.
Thanks Roddy and Paul. I'll have to admit it was a fun day for saws.

was this the tree the guy on Craigslist was asking someone to take in Indy??

Kim and I will be there!!!

Camp out for Sunday too....Sounds like a great weekend in store!!! Be glad to see you all!!!!

Yeap. They said a bunch of people came to look at it but they never came back. The owner assumed that they didn't have big enough saws. I think he almost passed out when Louie walked around the corner with a 5 foot bar.

If you're still undecided, maybe this will help push you over the edge. I will have another care package from Baileys. Gregg always send a nice box of goodies. Kudos on Gregg!!!

I didn't even ask this time. I don't want to start sounding like a beggar every time I got to a GTG. But when Gregg offers, I'm sure not turning him down

BTW Gregg, you need to clear your PMs.

I am 99.99% sure I am in for Saturday, but not sure if I will be camping or not...Looking more like the not, but I would love to if I can make it fly...Looks like it will be just me, also...The wife had already scheduled the next weekend off for my birthday to go away w/ the boys...I kind of ruined my surprise by trying to arrange a weekend trip out of this......So unless something changes I will see you guys on the 3rd...
