Participantwe’ll try and think of something over here. we currently have a full barn and just enough hay to get us through, i hope. melissa, do you have their contact info handy. this is not what i had in mind when this all started, but he is a good soul and it’s important to find him the right place. jason, 589-4000
Participantyou’ve said that before!
Participanthey mitch. i’d be interested. got a pole on my syracuse before all the rain and tried her out. added a seat so i could adjust the pole left and right, i think you need to stop in and check it out. i’ll do some more harrowing in the meantime to get em in shape.. cheers, jason
Participantwe have been doing a fall harvest supper the last 4 or so years with said goods, but haven’t advertised it as unlicensed and have only taken donations. a cover charge and an invitation to DOA would certainly change the mood of the celebration. jason
Participantthree towns here in maine just passed this ordinance

and i think we’ll probably have a special town meeting this spring and vote it in here in montville to help keep the ball rolling. the implications… a statement and a step towards putting responsibility back in the hands of the consumer.
ParticipantMofga is planning on a large addition to it’s fairground facility in the next couple of years and the LIF group has taken on the task of providing as much of the material as possible. so far it seems everyone with a stake in the project (board of directors, staff, archetect, etc.) is on board. we just sent 33mbf of pine logs (mostly lowgradefrom this winter’s harvest) down to a local mill to be milled into 1x then it will be sent to another local mill to be dried and planner milled into sheathing, interior and exterior. what i’m curious to here from all of you is a way to go about the rest of the material aquistion. the LIF folks alone won’t be able to do it all in the proposed time frame of a fall 2011 ground breaking, but there are a lot of woods workers around and plenty of material. we were thinking of making a decision tree that would help us make our way through all the possibilities.
within 25 miles 50 miles 100 miles, etc;

worst first, “sustainable harvest”, mixed value, highgrade, clearcut;any thoughts or ideas on how to simplify or clearify something like this would be appreciated. cheers, jason
Participantdonn, where did you get those repair clips and how much were they. all of my front traces could be a bit shorter, some 4″, thanks jason

Participanta bridge isn’t a bad thing to be able to go over pulling a log or a scoot. maybe we can make it so there’s no chance of catching the edge and distroying it.. JG
Participantthat sounds great scott, look forward to seeing you there.. if carl hasn’t moved he’ll be at the LIF workshop as well, almost hometurf.. cheers and see you in nov,, jason
Participantdonn, do you have any idea when we might be able to start setting it up. i have a volunteer comittment on saturday morn and a little bit in the afternoon.. thinking about coming over on thursday maybe with one of our horses.. could do somthing any time friday or later on saturday.
Participantscott, it sounds like you might get up to NEAPFD this year. i’m planning on bringing carl over, so people can see what he’s like. cooler weather is here and his issues seem to mellow out. when the flies aren’t out.
Participantparbuckling on to a wagon is always a good one. i’ll noodle out the details. cheers, jason
Participantdon, love to talk more about this, i started a thread ” challenging Obsticle” under Sustainable Forestry.forum. we’re in the planning stages for the MOFGA LIF workshop and i think it would be a great hit to have something more serious than last year. if you want to help out we can hit NEAPFD with something tested.. cheers, jason
