PAST Tennessee GTG @ Mastermind's

[Deets066]

As long as we ain't gonna damage the trailer, we can wrap a chain around it and pull it over the side onto some blocks.

Cut some timbers and crib up the edge of the trailer, should help

@Stihlbro had a good idea about setting some sort of schedule for the different events. @Hedgerow is also pretty experienced with these GTG things. I'm gonna be pulled in a hundred directions at once I imagine, so I'm hoping these two guys can take care of the racing and stuff.

I have a crowd to feed. lol

Probably a good idea to try to do the time consuming stuff like the chain build in the morning.

All of you really coming to play with saws? I just like bringing my son and setting him lose to destroy someone else's property. Heck, if it gets really cold and wet (HA!) we can get real cozy in Randy's shop, that would make for some awkward conversations. Randy, for those who don't know where you are at, close to the date you should screen shot a pic from google maps and draw the area for parking and such, it'll help the mouth breathers and knuckle draggers!

Mr Awesome

I may be different and wear my WWS t-shirt.

Good idea on the Google map thing Shea.

Bad idea on letting a bunch of guys into my little shop/shed. No room for that. lol

Hopefully a few of us can sit around the fire Friday and figure all this out in time to post it so everyone knows what is happening, and when.

Yep. I hope to be able to come and stay Friday night down there. No need to drive 3 hours each way twice.

Joey will be here Friday also.

Al, 45 dollar flights from Newark to Knoxville. There are two or three car rental companies right in the airport and I can tell you from experience they are soooper cheap. Knox isn't but 2 hours from Jamestown, darn pretty drive man and where Randy and his Family are man there's no place around that's quieter at night. You'd honestly have no reason not to be there.

Everyone else, man we've made this 14-plus hour drive from CT to Sparta TN - about an hour south of Jamestown - so many times the car knows the way. I wanna tell ya, it's worth the trip. All of it. And realistically, it's only little over a half a days' drive.

Randy if your big wood plans fall through, that monster is still laying down in the bottom. There's a neighbor - friendly - who cut and rolled the side fields earlier this year and has a construction excavation company. I can't see why he wouldn't pick what you buck up and run it up the hill to get on your trailer. It's an option.

@Mastermind

Monster?

Due Tail

Monster?

Due Tail

It's been down a few years.....and is over an hour away. We can arrange something simpler.

You da boss.

In the mean time, what kinda big Ol saws you got on the shelf to compare my lowly 2 to?

 

[Mastermind]

I've got your 088, and a couple of 3120s

Would it be possible to run the chains Friday afternoon?
How many are there?

 

[Hedgerow]

There will be 8 of us from the TOKAMO clan there on Friday.

Welp......there goes the neighborhood.

I had thought of that. Might be best to do that and if there's stragglers for Saturday when others show up we can finish them up. That sounds like a plan to me if there's no objections.

I just know how busy things can get at big GTG's.
Lotsa BS'ing to be done and distractions are everywhere.
And my attention span is that of a poorly trained dog.

You have no idea...

 

[exCanuck]

I booked Avenged Sevenfold to play at this Gig. The neighbors are going to love you. Cops too.

 

[Stihlbro]

I think now is a good time to discuss some detailed plans for this event. When you have this many people showing up and traveling from multiple states, I think a schedule of Friday and Saturday would be a benefit.

I'm not sure on the chain race but setting it up for Friday afternoon sounds like a great idea. What wood is being used? What power head?

What is everyone's thoughts for making attentive schedule for Saturday? We got some racing to do, food to eat, general sawing, sounds like some sac kicking and what else?

There's the 83 dl of 404 and 72 dl of 3/8". Seems like most were interested in the 404 and it's going to take the most time swapping a bunch of chains around and it's in 4 cants at once. Ported 395 for the 404 and Solo 7910 for the 72 dl. Poplar hopefully or it will all be pine.
