Southern Chapter Forum Meetings

wwsjr · January 19, 2009, 02:39:14 PM

Sounds like a good idea. Almost any time is good for me, cept maybe we wait until it is warmer. 39' with windchill of 15' today at noon. That is too cold for MS. We had low of 10 and high of 24 last Friday with 10-15 MPH wind.

Burlkraft · January 19, 2009, 06:01:59 PM

I'd come down, but it'll prolly be warmer here than there :D :D :D

Radar67 · January 21, 2009, 03:41:41 PM

Lee, what is your schedule like? 2 on/2off?

Donnie, when you plan on starting your house, or have you already started?

Steve, that may well be true, but you can still come. ;)

James (fishpharmer), when is the spawning season over? Or, when do you slow down again?

Warmer weather is a good idea though. ;D

fishpharmer · January 21, 2009, 05:53:41 PM

Stew you or someone come up with a date and i will do my best to be there. Catfish spawning ends by July 1st. March 16 thru 22 is spring break for the wife and kids, so I best go with them. Don't worry about me, I am somewhat flexible, wouldn't miss a meeting if I can help it. I gotta keep my prioritizes straight. 8)

fishpharmer I went right by your place the weekend after christmas. didn't know where you were or I might have stopped by. I have a son in Brandon and a daughter in Birmingham, so I pass your way occasionally. The first one of these get-togathers was at my place, believe me, you don't want to miss it.

DWM II · January 21, 2009, 08:32:45 PM

Stew were in the serious planning stages right now, having plans drawn and such. I plan on starting the actual construction last quarter of this year.

I'm also good with waiting for some warmer days.

Radar67 · January 21, 2009, 09:01:19 PM

I'm in the serious planning stage too. I have the plans in hand, the site is cleared, the well will be drilled in late March, and the septic is being planned as I type this.

WDH · January 21, 2009, 10:11:56 PM

Donnie and Terry,

I appreciate what you will soon be doing for the economy :D.

Owning a sawmill and building a house should not be allowed ;D. There is so much that you can do that ordinary people (those without sawmills

) cannot do. What an adventure!

LeeB · January 22, 2009, 12:12:37 AM

My schedule is one month on and one month off. Actually 28/28 with 4 days travel on my time, so I guess its really 32/24 assuming they don't have some kind of training coarse for me to go to.

jerry-m · January 29, 2009, 09:27:00 PM

Been thinking it was about time for another get togather... Don't know how I missed the start of this thread...

Will try my best to be there as most any time is ok by me...

Thanks, Jerry

PineNut · March 18, 2009, 10:03:24 PM

Anyone still interested in another get together? The warm weather will soon be over and summer will be here.

Radar67 · March 18, 2009, 10:34:47 PM

I'm still interested. Me and Don K had a meeting this past Saturday, and WDH was here yesterday.

Anyone want to throw a date out there?

PineNut · March 18, 2009, 10:52:22 PM

I am free through May. In June, things start to get busy for me. Probably a Saturday would be the best day for most people.

PineNut · March 21, 2009, 10:19:14 PM

Well, I will throw out a range of dates. How about any Saturday in May? Someone suggest a day. If you would like to come to SW Mississippi, I am willing to host it. I don't have all of the toys that pineywoods has but we can still have an enjoyable day and a good meal.

Radar67 · March 21, 2009, 10:33:17 PM

I could probably make any Saturday in May except the one before Mother's Day.

wwsjr · March 22, 2009, 08:24:00 PM

I am ready for another get together. If you wanted to come to NE MS, I could host if folks want to come to the hill country. Not a big operation but I have a few big boy toys. I am about 20 mi east of Tupelo near Fulton about 9 miles south of HWY 78.

The sawmill shootoff in WV is 29-30 May if anyone is planning to go. Still not sure myself. Any other weekend should be good for me.

Willie

pineywoods · March 22, 2009, 08:58:19 PM

Any time in May sounds good to me. I would be glad to host again. That guy is still makin brisket

. Any place else will depend on the wife. I'm about to run out of kinfolks to put her up while I go off ~~sawmilling~~ visiting.
Hope she don't read this :-[

Banjo picker · March 22, 2009, 09:11:05 PM

I will try to get it on this one if I can. Someone pick a place and time. I haven't heard from Chris from down under in a day or two. He is supposed to be here at my place the end of June sometime. When he comes I am going to get the ones that want to meet him to come up here. May would be a good month to get together and talk some. Tim

PineNut · March 28, 2009, 07:31:55 PM

Haven't heard much in past couple of days. I will throw out an invitation. How about meeting at my place on 16 May. I am located south of Brookhaven or about 65 miles south of Jackson, MS about 5 miles from I-55.

If anyone has a better proposal, lets here it. How many do we have that are interested in coming?

fishpharmer · March 28, 2009, 07:39:49 PM

I don't ever know for sure what I will be doing on any given day in the spring. The fish don't always spawn on schedule. :D

Sounds good to me Pinenut. I will try to make it.
