    Well?
    Worksaw collector and MoJim keep 2 industrial coffee pots brewed at all times...
    So we know we can survive no matter what..
    Thinkertinker "lewis" from Mississippi always brings up the backstraps from 10 deer or so..
    Guess them deer are over running the state..
    Then there's the pulled pork and baked beans the night before when we're milling cants and setting up...
    Usually the Iowa clan is rolling in about then in Doug's Land yacht... "That's the ultimate GTG machine" He should post a pic of it...
    Then, of course, there's the fried taters and onions... Can't go without those...
    Then it gets dark and we have the bonfire BS session... Sunfish is always hooks us up with a nip of sumthin warm... Or 3...
    It's usually a pretty good time..
    The TOKMO bunch has a long standing tradition of rather large GTG's... I remember the one's in Jasper, AR at Dan's place..
    Good times... Frozen eggs... Mystery meat...

    Yes we filled the trailer 4 or 5 times full. The splitters were really rockin in Mansfield! Over flowing full is 2 cord stacked. We were filling the trailer in 45 minutes. Took 20 min to dump because of blown fuse causing a week battery. Oh well we needed the breaks.

    Hey now....
    :axe:
    We don't play, when it comes to charity cuts...

    Ok.. So we do a little...
    But when we show up, log piles and tree tops, tremble with fear...

    Brent is working feverishly to have this splitter completed by the GTG... It's an interesting concept. All auto, vertical to horizontal splitter, with a log lift and work table. It's made to stand during operation, not sit or kneel... Table is waist high on a 6'4" fellow..

    You got me talking about making an 12 + hr drive!! If I had a sidekick, I would probably come. But 781 miles alone is a long way..
