    Hillbillies?? Aren't we a bit too far north to be called that?

    Well according to my source Michigan is where the term originated, but then my FIL might be biased, he came from that area. Sunfield MI LP that is. But for you woodtick it is. :smoke:

    I haven't checked in years but do remember when someone pointed out to me in a dictionary that a hillbilly was a MI farmer! Tis okay either way but most folks tend to consider the more southern people to be true hillbillies.

    I might be able to come. I don't have much to offer, stock 441 and a couple of splitting mauls...

    Depending on the date? I'd be in..

    April 25th I am going to the Chelsea Iowa GTG, and the GTG in Oh this year will likely be the week after Memorial day, or sometime shortly after that.
