but... but... Husqvarna!!!

Don't worry Chris, we'll get er done.

 

[CJ Brown]

No worries Mike I'm just funnin with ya.

 

[huskihl]

Which one you go with?

I looked into the one's Brian makes, but they're for larger machines. They'd work, but they're 3 or 400 lbs heavier. And with only having a 48hp machine, i need all the net lifting power i can get. I ordered this one

 

[CJ Brown]

Do you have your tires loaded?

 

[huskihl]

Do you have your tires loaded?

Yeah they're loaded. I can put the backhoe on if I need more counterweight than that

Can't make it this year. Very busy summer. Would like to make it next year if you have it again.

Wth Tim??? That sucks.

Wth Tim??? That sucks.

You have to remember Mike I is an old fxxker.

I checked on Google maps and they said it would be 5 hrs and 50 min. No issue but it's 403 miles. That's 69 mph average. Considering it has taken me 45 min to 1 hour to cross at Sarnia / Port Huron the last three times I figure I could make it that time if I didn't go under 90 mph. WTF?
No issue with the longer drive and I will do my best for 2018 if Kevin has it again. It's about the same as the NY GTG which I plan to make again in 2018 if it's on.
Have a great time time there Mike!
Sorry I can't make it this year.

I may be a sappy ole PR but I really enjoy meeting the people on here and the other forums face to face. They're a little different in person and all have been just great.
It's always good to hook up with the guys I've met at previous GTG's. Much better than the long distance, disconnected on line relationship.

@P.M.P. , @Canadian farm boy @Definitive Dave

 

[EvilRoySlade]

That is most likely all I can manage. I have a family wedding on Saturday.

I do have a couple pork shoulders I could rub and bring up for smoking on Friday.

 

[cus_deluxe]

I'm planning on homemade corned beef hash for breakfast, and/or we'll have some eggs and bacon. Can also have pancakes. I have a 3' wide x 2' deep propane griddle that cooks for 20 quite quickly. Planning on a smoked sirloin roast with cheesy potatoes and corn for supper. I'll have the food here. If some guys want to bring drinks, paper plates/towels, and plastic silverware that would be great. Maybe some burger buns for lunch for those who miss breakfast

GAH!!! Sorry Road. Friday works just fine. I and some others will be here all day Friday and Sunday as well for those who can't do Saturday.
The day isn't important on a weekend long shindig.
