Black Owl Posted October 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2011 If anyone would like to give us a hand, Gary and I will be having a Pork in the Pines work day at his place to get ready for next year. The primary project will be fabricating a new pig roaster plus assorted odd jobs. So, if you are free (or at least reasonable) on Saturday, October 29th, we could sure use your help.

PS I am trying to learn this state flags but not having much luck. Pork in the Pines is in Minnesota. Just put your cursor on the flag and it will tell you. Put your cursor on the earth sign and it will give you a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Owl Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted October 16, 2011 Just thought I would bump this up again in the hope that some of the MN folks may decide they have Oct 29th open and would like to come up and give us a hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill in mn Posted October 16, 2011 Share #9 Posted October 16, 2011 It's hard to say with all the things I have going but where is this located and what's a guy to bring to help? thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Owl Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted October 16, 2011 Bill, It is at Gary's (Whoomp) place about 6 miles west of Laporte, MN. Only about a 3 hr run for you. All you need to bring is work gloves and some muscle and you will be good to go. Will be doing a lot of cutting and welding, so if you know how to weld you would be way ahead of Gary and I. Oops, almost forgot, bring a whole lotta raggin and you will fit in right fine. :rotfl: Hope you can make it. Always great to meet new folk.

Flyinfool Posted October 16, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 16, 2011 What kind of welding equipment do you have available? It is a LONG ride and I doubt I can make it, but one never knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
