I think this may be our biggest turnout so far.

The way the piles where last year where OK, yes ?

Who'll be there thursday to help set up ? I'll have my bridge (Not sure I'll have it painted yet ) I still need to get tarpaper for roads yet . I've consumed myself with getting my TD40 working and work so I haven't had much time for anything else .

Hi Monighan!
I'm almost sure I can go help out on thursday, let you know right after news year. I'm trying to finish my screen machine in time so we can have little extra fun.
Cheers, Setti.

Not going to be able to stay any nights so I just cancelled my reservation at the Holiday Inn express if anyone is still looking for a room. Still plan on stopping by one of the days to check things out and meet some folks.

I almost bought a round trip ticket to fly out there! Just a little too rich for my blood right now but hopefully next year I will be more prepared and bring some extra money to buy something too. Looks like a good time guys!

We may need some pieces of 3/8 plywood for the rock crusher. Dragline rebuild has taken way longer than I imagined not leaving me a clear mind to build the ramp and larger hopper to accommodate the big 785 Kiitty truck. I figure plywood will work till a better steel ramp is fabricated. My idea is to cover the electric motor and have it concealed under the dirt pile since it's way out of scale and it will make the conveyor have a clearer shot under crusher to pile up whatever we crush. Stevie and I had a talk about it this morning. He may have some cement blocks to build a wall we may need.

I'll get some sizes and maybe you can rough cut some pieces.
I don't have any plywood at my shop. Only some 1/4" Luan.

Bo, Here is all I need:
3 pieces 24" x 32"
1 Piece 24" x 24"
I will try to make the hopper out of steel and attach to the wood. Basically the crusher needs to sit inside the three sided wood box cover that will be buried in the dirt pile.
The trucks can back up to the hopper on the plywood. Maybe some type of guard rail that Cooper's 785 can fit between. Stevie had a nice setup on his bridge guard rails bevel cut to look like Jersey Barriers last year.

Well,,,, today is a rain day and I've got most everything packed and ready to go. As long as everything is still good to go in morning I should be arriving sometime after 8-9 Friday morning. If anyone needs something (if I have it ) I'll bring along. See you guys tomorrow.

[Rvjimd]

Coop,

Something I was going to bring but forgot---

A short drop cord and a surge strip or other multi outlet for plugging in a charger. I don't know that I'll need it but last year I seem to remember the outlets on the pole was about four feet high and it was a challenge to setup a charger.


I think I'm all charged so I may not actually need it, unless we run a LONG session. I know last year Saturday was a pretty busy/long session.

[Cooper]

See you all soon!
