    Is there a man law I don't know about against not wearing a sticker for a name tag? If I were to attend, I suppose I could just call everybody "Hey"; it works for me at work and church. "Hey, how you doing", "Hey, what's up", etc.

    What's up Bud, Bro, Man, Chief, Bubba, Guy, and my personal favorite, what's up holmes.

    All good go to references when you don't know or forgot someone's name. :)

    The t shirt with the user name would take a lot of planning. Probably very unlikely. I wonder if we could make that an option when they are getting done? I'd take my username on the front?

    I thought that the "Hello" my name is.... Stickers would work well. I'd wear one. If I don't have a Hoodie or T shirt with my name on it by then.

    I'd be game for a T-shirt with my avatar printed on it. Maybe it should say " I'm that guy"

    Question for Dex,
    The wood blanks you are getting for the GTG, are they dried or wet?? dry wood is not going to be very good for our saws from what I have learned. Was watching a show on lumberjack sports and they only cut wet wood for that reason. The more I thought about this and the more reading I have done the more it was making sense. Thoughts??

    I am gonna try am get them cut as close as possible to the GTG. Dry wood is much harder on a chain. The moisture helps a lot with wear and tear on the cutters. Want it as Green as possible.

    Gonna do some oak and some other softer wood (Poplar, Silver Maple, Pine?)

    Silver Maple and Poplar are fun to sink a saw into. Especially if the rakers are set for a little more bite.

    So...just to clarify...we bring our food, our drink, tent and bedroll, and our equipment?

    Is there any financial contribution needed?
