Yep, you gotta stay there. :-\ At least we might get to see a pic of you in a tux. ;D :D

Here's what ya do, come January; Every time you see a calendar, even in somebody else's house, mark out the middle of October so they don't schedule anything big for next year. Just tell'em way ahead of time that you won't be around that week. ;D

DanG
Are you hauling logs to Moultrie again this year? If I remember right, you were taking several loads prior years.
Hope to get there some year....not this'n. ;)

No, BT, I'm not gonna haul logs up there this year. My ol' truck is showing its age, and gas prices aren't helping matters either. It is a 170 mile round-trip, so I think I'll leave it to the local boys.

So far the weather forecast looks good for the show. Mid 80s during the day, mid 60s at night and plenty of sunshine. Let's hope it holds. ;)

I don't know the name of the place, but it is a State Park close to the grounds. Don set it all up.

I've never been before and Don went last year. He stayed there and set up the reservations this year. Woodbowl mentioned something about a spot on the grounds.

The State park may be a bit quieter, but WE'll be the ones making the noise, anyway. ;D :D It would be neat if we were all together to blister a steak or burn a burger.

Danny, We are staying at Reed Bingham State Park.

DanG, First year I went was by the seat of my pants with prospects of sleeping in my truck. DonE911 was kind enough to let me sleep in the back of his wifes new CLEAN horse trailer where at least I could stretch out. I am a person that doesn't care for suprises and I like to know where I'm staying when I head out. We can visit as long as we all want to gab and cogitate because we will have a electronic code to get into the park after 10 pm.It is not that far from Spence field.

There's a good spot to camp in all right. It's just a hop skip and a jump from the showers too. I don't know it it's a bonified tent certified camping spot or not but there's several folks that pitch a tent there. I've seen the same folks every year. That's where I'll be again this year. Yall come!

I plan to sleep in my vehicle Tuesday night, just need somewhere to park it. I PM'd woodbowl about the prospects of playing music, but have not heard from him yet. A get together for supper and music would be nice if it works out.

Woodbowl, will you be there Tuesday night?

That's what I'm planning too, WDH. I'm gonna put my blow-up mattress in the back of the purple Caravan. A friend suggested I get some of them rubber daisies like ya put in the bathtub, to stick all over it. Ain't real sure I'm going for that idea, though. roll_eyes :D :D

Just come on in and give us a call when ya get there. There's plenty of time to pick a camp spot after the show closes. ;D

There's plenty of places to park a vehicle or camper. One night we parked our rigs on the tarmac last year and just slept in our own two vehicles. I got up the next morning, fired up the coleman stove and made coffee. DanG got his snorin' carcas up, we had a cup of mud and headed for the gate.

The reason I like the other area is because there are several families that travel together and they build a big fire then pull out guitars and fiddles to play music. Don't foget your twang box WDH. ;)

Not to worry, Stew. Woodbowl usually carries one of anything that has strings on it. A while back, he was sawing near here, so I dropped by to watch a little bit. He shut down the Woodmizer, pulled out his fiddle and kept right on sawing, while me and the customer danced a little jig in the sawdust. The boy know's how to have fun! 8) 8)

Hey DanG, We might need to sniff out one of them whatchamacallit thingamajiggys that mends stuff with wire. I think I might like to have one. I think ya'll posted a website last year.

Hey all, I've been busy with pond clearing lately and I haven't been following this thread. I'll be in Moultrie Tuesday, but I can't make it for the rest of the expo. If you see a skinny dood with a funny little beard and TFF cap on it might be me.

I may be in the company of a tall old dood with a large beard. :D

Must be in catfish country ;D ;D

Somebody at the Georgia Peanut Commission has been reading the FF 8) 8)

Woodbowl, WDH, and Dwight playing some tunes 8) 8) 8) 8) A shower chased us to a BBQ in joint

From the left Stew(Radar67), Tom, Don K, WDH, Woodbowl, Me, DanG, My Dad and Mom, Dwight and his wife Gael.

We had a super time. The Sunbelt Expo is impressive to say the very least 8) 8) 8) We saw most of it but skimmed over quite a bit too ;) The grounds are huge and filled with exhibits relating to all aspects of agriculture. Two days are really needed to see it all. We came back to our place last night rather than try to find a place to stay up there. Next time we'll make some reservations and go back another like we kinda planned to do this year.
The highlight was of course meeting up with old pals from the FF and putting faces and voices with names. Glad to meet you guys in person Radar, Dwight and Gael 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) Mom was glad there was somebody of her gender to hang out with as was Gael

It was nice day to. Overcast with a breeze. With sun it woulda been HOT. It was 89 here a bit ago. I'm ready to go back to Michigan for some fall weather ;) ;D

I enjoyed the show in Moultrie. I met several Forum members for the first time:

DonK, DNalley, Adaminmo, Tom-in-Mo, and Woodbowl. Here are some pics:

The Baker Boys, Tom and Adam.

Here is Dave Mann of Woodmizer talking to a customer.

Dave and I were looking at some logs to be sawn at the demo. I noticed a nail in one of the logs! Saved Woodmizer a blade ;D.

Here are my companions for the day, DonK and Stew.

A tailgate lunch....

Corley5 and his really nice parents.

Some weighty Forum matters were also discussed into the wee hours of the morning

Left to right...DanG, Tom, Woodbowl, DonK, and Stew.

In case you missed the links to the Forum Trio on Youtube, check this post.

Trio Post

I had a real good time at the Ag Show. I met quite a few members for the first time, Tom, DanG, Adam, Tom Stout, Corley5, Brdmkr, and DNalley.

I took many pictures of the trip, far to many to post them all. Here are a few.

The Baker Boys just about had Don talked into taking that molder home and dealing with the devil (his wife) later. :D

Here is DanG back at his place after the show. He left his windows down in the rain again. Woodbowl needs to tell the story of the first incident. ;)

Here is the Forum Trio in full swing. This was just before the bottom fell out.

Here is the link to my GALLERY for more pictures of the Ag show and Don K and my visit with DanG and Woodbowl afterwards.

Don K · October 21, 2007, 12:05:58 AM

Yep, that is a mighty impressive 4-head planer and I have a few samples to play with as well. ;) The Baker Boys have some well built, user friendly tools and I would definitely like to say that I would like to see one come home with me some day.

Don

ADAMINMO · October 22, 2007, 11:14:51 AM

I would be more than happy to help you be able to take one of the moulders home. :D I bet your wife was happy to see those boards. I can't wait to see the finished product when you git er done.

Don K · October 22, 2007, 11:29:11 PM

She was quite happy to see the moulding, but I had to draw the line at painting it black once finished.

ADAMINMO · October 23, 2007, 09:14:12 AM

I got some pine I ran that I'll trade if she wants to do that!!! That wood is too beautiful to paint any color.Light coat of stain and some clear coat and hopefully she changes her mind.Hope that line you drew was solid and not dotted!! :D

Don K · October 23, 2007, 07:03:19 PM

It is strong and solid. Don't fret.

Radar67 · November 02, 2007, 12:05:49 PM

While at the show, Don K and I visited the Lenox booth. While talking with one of the salesmen, we asked if they had any large bandsaw blades at the show. None were on site, but the salesman told us of a promotion they were running until the end of the year. They were giving away 5 blades. He took our information and sizes and promised to ship the blades out post haste.

I received my box yesterday. 5 brand spanking new Woodmaster C blades to fit my mill. I'm going to have some fun trying these blades out in the near future.

Tom · November 02, 2007, 03:40:51 PM

I got the same spiel at Sawlex but never got any blades. I figured they were after names and email addresses and never followed up when nothing showed up at the door.

Radar67 · November 02, 2007, 03:43:27 PM

To be honest, I never really expected the blades to show...but they did, so I guess I was wrong. ;)

Don K · November 02, 2007, 05:28:15 PM

I got me 5 brand new blades yesterday too. I had forgot all about them. I'm going to sink them in some dry pine and see how they do.

Don

ADAMINMO · December 18, 2007, 12:22:26 PM

Did ya get to use that trim for that mirror yet.Lookin forward to some pics.

Don K · December 18, 2007, 01:22:47 PM

Adam it is in the shop ready to go. I have the measurements, just had to some Christmas wood projects out. I hope to start after first of the year. I need to be careful as I only have enough for one miscut. ;D ;D Pics will be posted.
