IH Cub Cadet Plow Day 9.0, April 9, 2005

[kmcconaughey]

Steve, I was capturing the PD9 video to the PC last night and thought you might like to know that I did get video of Steven III giving your 782 full hydro. Time permitting, I'll take a video clip of it tonight and send it to Charlie for posting. )

All, watch for VHS and DVD info soon I hope to have them ready for sale next week.

Works for me Kraig

I'll bring all the CD's with saturday rather than mailing them.

Kraig: I have a CD with more pictures on the way to you. Sorry I'm so late. I gave been in Wisconsin since plowday.

Cool, (I think).......how dorky do I look?!?!?!?!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Steve, not dorky at all, but then I wasn't zoomed in all the way. Looks like you gave Steven III a good talking too immediately after getting the 782 under control.....

Plow day at C&G ???? Not this year. The 100+ acres next to us was strip tilled and planted to corn this year. MAYBE next year if they have beans OR......possibly plant wheat and have a summer plow/mow day.

As for the plow day idea origin.....I did originate the idea and thankfully Bluniers took over and made it happen. This was just "thinking out loud" and look at what it has done to us.......

If winter travel were easier. I'd host a CC "snow-blow/throwdown" for those guys/gals wanting seat time in the winter......OR we could just show up at Gurnee Mills or Woodfield Mall parking lots in Chi-Town and start moving thier mounds......

Hey....we could measure the vertical throw of your blower/thrower and award prizes. Of course any "viagra" or "cialis" enhanced machines (the ones that REALLY get it up) would not be eligible......

 

[kmcconaughey]

Ken, thanks for validating my memory. )

Does Slip-Plate coating equate to an "enhanced machine"?

 

[kupdike]

Kraig...using slip plate is like giving your snowthrower/blower a botox treatment. It smoothes out the "wrinkles"....

Modifying (sp?)the auger/blower wheel to get more vertical "lift" or "throw" is like using Viagra or Cialis.....

 

[kmcconaughey]

Ken, thanks for the clairification. )

If/when anybody decides to host the fall PD, I had some pretty nice signs made up with vinyl decals, and would be happy to loan them out.

 

[tschweizer]

"That thing got a Hemi???"

 

[kmcconaughey]

Seeing as I only got about 39 minutes of video at Plow Day 9 that leaves plenty of space on the DVD version of the video. Sooooo I'm going to include the photos that have been submitted, as a "slide show" on the DVD. Those of you that plan on sending me your photos please do so ASAP. I'd like to get this video wrapped up and for sale. A big "THANK YOU!" to those that have already sent them. So far there are almost 500 photos. )

 

[tschweizer]

Kraig, I have the video from the news here. It's not much, but it's something. I'll get it out to you ASAP. TRAVIS

 

[kmcconaughey]

Travis, Cool! Do you (we) have permission to use it? If so, I'll capture it and include it on the PD video. )

 

[tschweizer]

I didn't ask. Do I need to???

I have permission to use the field again in the spring of '06. I believe the fall of '06 is spoken for, so what does everyone think?? I don't want to step on any toes, and it's nice to have these things planned out in advance for advertisement.

I know it makes a longer drive for some of you, but this setup sure does work good.

 

[digger]

Travis,
I just got off the phone with'um and they don't have a problem with it going out on Kraig's CD.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Charlie, thanks for checking and... great! Ummm, except that it'll be going on a DVDs and VHS tapes. )

 

[tschweizer]

Charlie, next time could you be a little quicker?

 

[digger]

Kraig,
Makes no dif to them, to quote the guy," Hey! It's free advertisingisn't it!"
I think your good to go, ;-P

Travis,
Sorry boss, I'll try harder next time. Does this mean your gonna dock my pay!

 

[sblunier]

Fall '06......

Yup, that should be back in the crop rotation for the Blunier farm
