Don't think we'll need a trailer, at least on Saturday. We'll see how it goes, and maybe we could use one on Sunday. 

Matt will be bringing a demo saw for exhaust pipes which should be handy!

Also, bring some crates if you have any for the small stuff.

See you then!

Brendan and I can come on Sunday. If someone touches base with me on the progress made on Saturday and a trailer is needed I could bring mine Sunday...

Sounds good, peter.

See you all tomorrow morning! Make sure to bring tools and some crates for the small stuff, if anyone happens to have something like that. I'll bring a few milk crates.

Hey all,

Today's move went great and we are planning on moving again next weekend. we have 7 or 8 more engines that can be hauled on our trailers, 3 pumpjacks, and two big engines that will need a gooseneck. We have been dragging the engines out with Art's skidsteer and winching them on the trailer, which has been working very well.

Who is up for this coming weekend (22-23rd), and which day or both? We need trailers that have winches.

I could come Sunday again with my trailer if there are anymore smaller engines to haul.  Do we have someone coming with a gooseneck trailer for the larger engines?  If so do we need to have a crane scheduled at Kent for loading?

We have a good trailer convoy planned for tomorrow. Matt, dave, ernie, marc, d.r., Dan belmonte, and myself. Rick and Chris will be at the farm to help unload.

Pete, we'll assess the situation on Saturday and decide what else is needed. We do have a couple heavy trailers lined up for the clark and bessemer, and ray has a friend who has a crane. Those two will move last.

Anyone else who wants to help, let us know and see you then!

Connor
