Aussies running Lucas mills always win US Shootouts. No worries mate.

That's funny ;D ;) Dunno if we will be 'competing' in tha shootout, dut definitely going to be there. I'm coming over after my youngest ones birthday, (it'll be her first birthday without Mummy and Daddy together, so I'm not gonna miss this one even though milling is on offer) so Chris will be in country a little earlier than me. We had got talking about wanting to see the world a bit and I wanted to mill on different continents, so we thought of coming to visit y'all and see what happens ;D ;)

Sigidi..........I'm in Washington State, I'd like to know when you'll be in my territory. I'd like to pay a visit. By the way, me Mum's from Perth, W.A. (WWII war bride). Oy! Oy!

That sounds great fella's.

The itinerary is in Chris's hands and as we are 'free spirits' so to speak, personally I'd like to visit with a bunch of ya and I reckon Chris isn't against the idea too ;D 8) the more tha merrier I reckon
- Dave M sounds like a great idea ;D
- metljakt, not sure when/if in Washington State but if we're close there won't be any prob in takin a drive your way I reckon 8)

Any other 'places' folkes would be keen to have us visit?

sparky · April 22, 2011, 12:12:52 AM

Chris,

I am pleased to hear that your Lucas trip is about to happen. I enjoyed making sawdust on your mill when I visited you. I expect you will be passing thru Minnesota on you way to MI and the Pig Roast. Let me know what the specifics of your schedule will be. There are quite a number of antique tractor shows in this area throughout the summer months and most have circular mills in operation. Our club show will be held September 9, 10, & 11. There are two logging trade shows in MN and WI, but they are in mid-September. I look forward to the posibility of returning your hospitality.

Will

customsawyer · April 24, 2011, 07:13:15 PM

You guys are welcome to stop and show me how to cut some of these big logs. ;D
I don't know how late you are planing on being here in Oct. but if you can hang around and go to the Sun belt expo in Moiltrie Ga.

You'll be covering a whole lot of ground! Hope I'm in the area when you make the Fla/Ga portion of your trip. I'd enjoy meeting you. And it looks like I'll soon be the owner of a Lucas 10-30, so no doubt I'd have a large number of questions for you!

Bill

Gday Bill Id love to catch up with you Congrats if you got the 10-30 ?? if you have any questions just fire away Mate ;) ;D and when I get things nutted out for GA/FLA ill let you all know Mate
