PAST 29 Feb 2020 Splitting Party/Mini-GTG at Locust Cutter's

[Locust Cutter]

Gents (and any ladies), here is the GTG for the Mid-west folks mini-GTG at my place in Udall, KS to split wood and eat well. I have about 5-7 cords of wood, that I've run out of time getting to between two hospital stays for my son, and a pending shoulder surgery. I'm on 5 acres, so not a lot of space, but I'll be happy to host anyone that can make it.

I'm not screwed if this doesn't happen, but a few people brought up the idea, so here it is!

 

[JimBear]

I would really like to come down & help out but I believe we are having a dinner for my folks 50th anniversary that day. If things change I will let you know. How is the youngster doing?

 

[Locust Cutter]

No worries Man, I still appreciate the thought! Thankfully Hayden is MUCH better and we just got news from one of the surgeon's and the Mayo clinic, that what they thought was a second tumor, may actually be a big molar tooth! Thus, his second planned surgery is on hold for now, pending further scans.

 

[JimBear]

Glad to hear he is doing well. That suspected tooth revelation sounds like good news also.

 

[Hedgerow]

As of now, old scrap iron will make the trip.,

 

[Locust Cutter]

So currently:
Matt + Scrap Iron

What do you need? Cutters and splitters or just splitters only? Or just manpower? What splitters do you have on site?

 

[Locust Cutter]

Mainly Splitters. There may be a bit of bucking yet to do, but not much. I do have the Special Edition S.S. here that we bought off of Doug to add to the effort.

 

[Junkyard]

I’m in. I can bring my strong back, weak mind, splitter and way too many saws.

@Hinerman and I can possibly carpool....

 

[Locust Cutter]

Awesome!
Matt + Scrap Iron
Junyard + tools and possibly Hinerman

 

[Junkyard]

I can throw my splitter and little kubota on the trailer together easy peasy.

 

[Douglas Ostrander]

Google says 5 hr 43 min. See what the weather is doing when time gets closer.

If you do, make sure to eat beans the night before.
Thomas loves that.

I don’t need beans for that

 

[Hedgerow]

I don’t need beans for that

Good.. Good....

 

[Louie B]

If the weather is not pure crap, will try to make it with my splitter.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Put me down for 1 or 2 depending on if I am working that day.

 

[Hinerman]

Mainly Splitters. There may be a bit of bucking yet to do, but not much. I do have the Special Edition S.S. here that we bought off of Doug to add to the effort.

What size wood?

Mostly smaller stuff 20" and less, but a bit of larger nastier Silver Maple, Hackberry and Red Oak.
