    Gonna try to keep track of who and how many show to the GTG.

    I'm going to make a sign in book which will include:
    Real Name
    Site Name (s)
    Location
    How many saws did you bring?

    When you sign in you can fill out a raffle ticket to win a Makita Cordless / Corded 4.5" Grinder Kit.

    Jeremy is planning on a group photo of all the site members. Gotta figure out when will be the best time. Just before lunch or after lunch??

    Scotty 49 has offered to help with sign in and the grinder raffle tickets. Probably going to have this setup in a white pop-up tent somewhere near the cutting area.

    Food will be a similar setup to last year.

    Any suggestions??

    Can't wait. I'm 99% sure I'm in for this one. Barring any emergency at home, I'm coming.

    :dex:

    I'll find something around here that I can get running for this. :picard:

    Missed your reply also. They're doing as well as can be expected. New air filter in this one today and back out mowing after half a bath. Last time we had to hire a diver.

    Looks like a good time! I really would have liked to attend, but I went to the other GTG in Michigan. Keep the pics coming! :popcorn:

    We made a helluva mess for sure! I almost feel bad for Steve, Scott and the rest of the gang from The Cutting Edge but they get to use that sweet little Kubota excavator to clean up! :dex:

    I must say, this G2G was an absolute blast, and well worth the trip. (2+hrs for me, not bad at all.). Not only did we get to run some serious wood-eatin' machinery, but I enjoyed meeting a lot of great folks that I haven't run into previously. Plus, I made out like a bandit, definitive dave was giving out some great freebies, I won the Makita grinder kit (drawing prize) which blows me away :bug: since I NEVER win drawings. It's a cosmic law somewhere I'm sure. :loco: :crazy:

    So thank you so much Dave for the tool pouch and non-flippy caps! The tool pouch is extremely innovative and well made, and the caps are going to be the cats azz for many I am sure!

    A huge shout-out to 166 and his crew at The Cutting Edge as this event is undoubtedly a ton of work on their part. The food was A+ (and complimentary.... :beerbbq:) and a fella couldn't ask for nicer hosts.

    And I've been singing the praises of the Dolmar 6100 for awhile now, figured there would be no better opportunity than this to bring a shiny new one home. Can't wait to send it after a few trees! :saw:
