Planning a forum get together for summer of 2004

Jeff · September 15, 2003, 12:22:17 PM

I am wondering, is there enough interest for Tammy and I to start planning a Forestry forum type get together for this next summer here in Michigan at our home? We have had a lot of practice lately roasting pigs so thats what we would do.

If our plans don't change, I will take my wife to visit her mother in Milwaukee next summer. I was thinking about taking that big boat across to your area while they visit. If you set a date and it will work for my wife, I'll be there.

DanG · September 15, 2003, 02:19:02 PM

There's plenty of interest here.

Actually getting there is the big challenge. I'll sure give it a try if y'all put something together. 8) 8)

Like DanG said, getting there will be the challenge...perhaps some other forum members from PA would carpool

Jeff · September 16, 2003, 01:00:24 PM

Getting to michigan is no challenge. Heck, I did it.

Weekend_Sawyer · September 16, 2003, 07:11:46 PM

I'm In!!!!!

And I know, mostly, how to get there!

OneWithWood · September 17, 2003, 09:30:24 AM

I would make the drive again. Yummm, roast pig.

whitepe · September 17, 2003, 10:36:38 AM

Will we be having any drag saw contests? ;D
The whitepe's will make it if we can.

chet · September 17, 2003, 11:01:48 AM

Count me in, but I'll still have to check with da wax lady. :-/ She's still a little pithed at me for da great roast piggy trade I made with Tammy at logging congress. :D

Jeff · September 17, 2003, 02:38:37 PM

O.K., we have interest. Lets set a date. That way we can plan far ahead of everything else. ;D

I am open to anytime from mid june to mid August.

Jeff · September 19, 2003, 06:59:38 PM

HELLO?? ;D

chet · September 19, 2003, 07:16:30 PM

We are ok with any time except the last full weekend of July. Our fire department will be hosting the U.P. Firefighters Tournament that week and weekend.

Kevin · September 19, 2003, 08:35:13 PM

That's it then, the party will start in mid june and run until mid August. ;D

ohsoloco · September 19, 2003, 09:55:24 PM

I'll start building up some comp. time for the long haul 8)

OneWithWood · September 20, 2003, 05:29:58 AM

The first week in August works best for me but I would come up anytime. This time I will pack the trunk with some beverages.

Minnesota_boy · September 20, 2003, 05:55:11 AM

I'd like to come, but I'd need some time off in July for a family vaction trip. Should I bring my mill. I might need some income between mid-june and the middle of August. :D

DanG · September 20, 2003, 09:39:11 PM

Howze about July 4 weekend? We could even stick a candle up the porker's butt fer Bibbyman's birfday. ;D ElectricAl could blow up a few logs to help the celebration along, too.

I and my Sweetie are seriously thinkin' about a "new" :

motorhome, and we ain't had a vacation trip to that part of the world yet. The election will be getting closer, too, so gas prices oughta be down a bit. :-/

Weekend_Sawyer · September 23, 2003, 06:55:52 AM

I like the idea of july 4th weekend too. Only have to take one day of vacation to make it a 4 day weekend. If not then, just say when and the Loveley Miss, the Road King and I will try and make it. We will even be happy to chip in for da blue beers and spicy jerky!

Mid July on would work best for me. I'm haying from mid June until then. The last full weekend in July is taken for me too as that's when the tractor show in Walloon is. The third weekend in August is the Buckley show.

BBTom · September 27, 2003, 08:58:37 PM

I think I could make it, except for last week of july. Be glad to pitch in for some of the vittles.
Sheryl and I were in Frankenmuth yesterday. Guess we should have driven a while longer and said hi!
Hope to meet some folks from the forum at PB show next sat.

Dennis · September 28, 2003, 10:26:04 PM

Second weekend in July is my show...but don't let that hold ya back...get togethers are great...will there be any hotsaws playing??? hehe....

Corley...you said Buckley.,..did you get to see the Predator this year???

L. Wakefield · September 29, 2003, 07:40:00 AM

Oh- my-- word- I was reading this in the NUMBEST frame of mind :P and somehow missed the small part about *NEXT* year. Where I've been so criminally busy and-er- not on the forum that often recently I somehow thought this thread was about THIS year until I saw a post marked 'today' and mentioning 'july'- so then the lightbulb flickered on the the whine and grind of a generator that don't really want to run.

*next* year ;D. We don't have our vacations posted but I sure would like to make it. Town meeting is in early June, the Intermediate course should let out around May or June, and the State Nurse Liaison meeting is in May. Those all may or may not matter.. so July or after would work best for me I guess. All I can say is- do it, do it!!! lw

Jeff · September 29, 2003, 02:54:13 PM

Tammy and I have been mulling this over and its down to either the first or second weekend in August. Votes?

SawBilly · September 29, 2003, 03:21:02 PM

First weekend. If ya keep puttin it off everyone will always have an excuse. 'Sides that, if the Lord comes back the before the second weekend then I won't get to meet some of you fine folks, lessen of course you go where I am going.

p.s. I don't really know if I could make it or not, but would sure be willing to try no matter when.
