Quarry Ridge (CORP Trail) / Re: Thanks for the big boost.
« on: May 14, 2013, 08:52 pm »
I'm learning that there's a helluva lot to be said for putting in trails by machine, I can't believe how much work was done and how rideable it already is.

There is a LOT of hand finishing left to do, deberming the down slope side, cutting the back slope in places, broadcasting, masking, dragging brush and stumps away from the trail.  I hope this gets done soon, as surely someone (hiker, dog walker, etc.) will surely have something negative to say about the work.

Can you please highlight what the position would entail?

Thanks,

BoC = Battle of CamRock, I like the acronym!

Thanks.  I just kept hearing a cowbell and coming up with Blue Oyster Cult.   8)

Chuck, thanks for clarifying the dates.  I'll pencil it in.

Before the BoC.

What's that?  I tried to figure it out but wasn't able to.

Some hobby stores carry vulcanizing fluid.  Check Michael's.

I think we only have the weekend before and I think I'm open for that time.

The weekend before what?

So, we're still on for May 11 - 12 = Quarry Ridge machine work but do not have Camrock's machine work rescheduled yet.  At this point, it's looking like it'll have to happen in June unless it happens during Blue Mounds' workday.

Just that.

Tom,

We can do it over two days and have whoever wants training to be available for a brief orientation and then get an hour or so of machine time.  The others, when not running the machine, can do the volunteer work. 

Originally, I didn't think it would be the best idea to have the general volunteer workday the same day as skid steer work, but we can make it work.  If we don't, we're looking at mid June before we could make it happen.   :o

Given the work weekend shifting around. Are we still on for the 13th and 14th at CR?

I'm down with doing the machine work the same weekend IF 1.) the volunteer workday is not in the same area, and 2.) of course, the conditions are good for it.

I will never apologize for my taste in beer, i.e. dark, smooth (read: not bitter, dry, or hoppy) beer like brown and black ales, porters, and stouts.

Secured a 1/4 barrel of Bell's Oberon!

Thanks for letting me know I need to bring beer.

General Discussion / Re: Question about CORP/IMBA membership fees.
« on: March 20, 2013, 12:26 pm »
not to be a hater - I know we need IMBA and all the good work they do.  What drives my nuts is all the expensive mailers they send out, not really the way I want my money spent.  Sending me 4-5 mailers to remind me to send in money, sorta ass backwards - send me emails instead.

Dave,

If you haven't created an account on IMBA.com, do so and then log into it.  From there, you can opt out of all these emails and mailers. 

My brother was the web master for IMBA for a decade and told me that it's standard procedure for non-profits to mail out membership reminders 60 days prior to membership expiration.  I got one from a different org in early January for my membership expiring at the end of March.  It annoys me, too.  It costs them fractions of a cent to send these out in USPS (even though it's not the greenest thing to do), and the payback is usually good..., well, good enough for them to continue to do it.

Though I did not want to go this route for organizational purposes, since I haven't seen anything put on a calendar, here is a summary of dates:

April 6 - 7 = Camrock workday

April 13 - 14 = Camrock machine work

April 20 - 21 = Quarry Ridge workday (Dewayne available)

April 26 - 28 = Dewayne unavailable

May 4 -5 = Middleton workday (Dewayne potentially available)


May 11 - 12 = Quarry Ridge machine work

May 18 - 19 = Blue Mounds Workday (Dewayne unavailable)

May 24 - June 3 = Dewayne unavailable


June 8 -9 = Camrock machine work
