April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

I am swallowing my pride and asking for help  :shock:  I thought I could get everything done, but there has been too much to do.

This coming weekend I need to get 13 yards of bark mulch put down in the yard.  I was wondering if I might be able to get a few people to help unload the truck and spred it out.  Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Thanks

Nacho,

You are awesome!

I want to get started anytime after 8am on Saturday.  I have a pickup, 2 wheelbarrows, a few rakes and standard shovels.  Last time the snow shovel (I have 1)  worked great for unloading the mulch.  If you can think of anything else that would make the job easier, feel free to bring it.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the support Matt, we really appreciate it Smiley.   Depending on how much gets done on Sat, we may be still going at it on Sunday.

Hey guys! I can help on Sunday. Or late Saturday afternoon. After baseball and softball. I'll call you later and find out the details.

Rick,

Contact bobcat northwest (Hyster) in Pasco, they've got some very cool toys you can rent for about $100 a day that make moving bark mulch MUCH easier:

http://www.bahrcan.com/nate/gallery1/bigimages/back%20yard%20016.jpg

Trust me, you'll be able to move 5 times the amount in the same timeframe.  I moved 3 cubic yards of dirt, 5 cubic yards of gravel and 3 cubic yards of bark in less than 12 hours with this thing.  Started out on the gravel with a wheelbarow and a friend...we'd barely made a dent in 3 hours.  This thing showed up and we were through the 5 cubic yards in another 3 hours of time.  The dirt was gone in about 2 hours, and the bark in another 1.5 to 2 hours.

I'd even volunteer to run it for a good portion of Saturday if you want.  If you don't decide to rent this (or if they don't have one available), I've got a wheelbarow and know how to use it.  Either way, I can be there Saturday to lend a helping hand.

Give me a heads up for Sunday if you still need help.  It's not about pride when a friend is in need.

Sounds like it's manual labor which is o.k. with me.  I'll take some heavy duty rakes just in case and will be there after I drop my wife off at work at 8:00 am unless that's too early.  Call me on my cell (539-0172) if you can think of anything else you need.

See you there! Cool

Nacho,

Anytime after 8 is great.  Not much heavy labor, just moving mulch and raking.


Angel,  I'll give you a call on Sunday if I still need help.  We need to connect so we can talk about my poor eyesight and your small font.

Thanks very much for the help
