PAST CT GTG 2016 May 7th

[Mattyo]

Sorry mike...I didn't see this post. I have most of the chains I need already....and my experience is that they are very consistent new. Leftcoastsupply.com sells them around $12 each anyway....so i'm not worried. They will get used...one way or another.

Ok, Gents.

Our plan is to head out around noon-ish Friday and set Cindys' kitchen up for whatever happens for Supper Friday night. We'll have waffles, pancakes, sausage, juice and coffee for breakfast both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Been out of work since Oktober so we can't swing a big spread, but we can cover breakfasts. Our plan as of this writing is to camp there too.

As far as Dinner and Supper Saturday, if you bring it Cindy will cook it. I think Al is planning on bringing burgers for Dinner Saturday again, if y'all want to start talking about something special for Supper Saturday night then let's get that conversation going!

We'll bring along 4 big ol ice chests for your food and beverages, you're gonna supply the ice, just pick up a couple bags as you pass through town.

Randy, I know it'd probably take a lot to put you behind the wheel of this old truck and bring it up here for us, but it's got an 8 foot bed that never has to be made and like you, it needs to stop frequently...

Damn Mel! You said you bought an old truck, not a new old one! That is one hell of a nice looking truck.

Thanks Dan, not too shabby for a '73 huh? Make a marginally better tow rig than my old wagon, lol

Looking forward to this GTG, we both are. Thank-you for hosting, Dan!

Going through our stuff today to load up for the GTG, I stubbed my toe on our old Hobart model 1612 slicer. I don't see us ever using it so The Lovely Cindy said to put it up on CL, which, being a dutiful kind of Husband, I've done.

The thing is a tank, a serious workhorse. If any of you are interested in it either for a friend or family member in the business who needs one, or even yourself (hunters, hobbyists, guys who make jerky etc...) please let me know and I'll put it on the trailer to bring to Dans.

Had a friend of ours who owns the local restaurant equipment repair shop go through it last year and man this thing is ready for whatever you throw at it.

Have it listed for 500, will take less from you fellas here.

Here's some pics, will replace the powercord.

Who's ready for this? Time to get psyched! CT GTG is in 10 days.
Ought oh -- long range weather saying 63% chance rain Friday 5/6 and 50% chance rain Saturday 5/7.
Somebody go fix that eh?

How do we get the CT GTG thread to get an "Upcoming" green tag on it like the NY GTG ?? It's definitely coming up soon!

I read through that (ok I read it quickly) and don't see any mention of how it gets an "Upcoming" green tag.
I'm going to assume when it hits some threshold number of days the forum software will add the tag automatically...

It didn't automatically remove the tag for they NY GTG given that one's been over for 3 days now...
Hmmm...

 

[huskihl]

I see what you mean now. Your gtg is linked in the calendar, but no green upcoming headline.
Some help @exCanuck ?

Mel,

Will be great to see you and Cindy.

I'm bringing up beverages and some food for Friday night. Because of Mother's day, I'll be hitting the road by 5pm Saturday.

I am bringing burgers and dogs. I didn't get cheese, cant remember if I bought last time.

Most of you guys will be to afraid to run it. Lol

It's in excellent condition, it will be fine.

I'll take my Geritol that morning

 

[malk315]

Thanks to exCanuck we've got a green "Upcoming" tag on this thread and the NY is now listed as "Past".
Hope there's a good turnout and the weather works out!

Long range forecast has improved -- Saturday May 7th only a shower possibility now, rain chance only 30% (accuweather)

Where's Mattyo? I think he got a good "fix" at the NY GTG and if like me he didn't make that one he'd be a few posts in on the edge of his seat for this GTG more
I'm excited -- if it's half as enjoyable as the inaugural CT GTG was it's gonna be a blast.

 

[paragonbuilder]

I'm pretty sure it's going to be better! We know each other now, gonna be some great saws, the Dyno, and I've got next week off to set up better!

Eric,

I bought my own Fastach. I won't need to follow you around and annoy you for a reading this year.
