Hey Ron,

[3311]

Something has come up for me on Saturday. Sorry I will not be able to make it. Steve.

[pbeering]

Ron,

Thanks for putting this together. It appears that Mother Nature is going to queer the deal as there seems to be a repreive from March coming later tonight and tomorrow morning. Perhaps we should have tried this to stimulate a change in weather last month!!

[ChicagoSnow]

Sorry -

I will not be able to make it tomorrow. My wife made me aware of other family arrangements that we are going to............ I had no idea!

I apologize for any problems my late response may have caused.

Joe

[4evergreenlawns]

Please let me know if this is still a go???

[dieselglory]

yes it is sat feb 4 around 4:00 at the schaumburg hooters. next to woodfield mall

[jbutch83]

Won't be able to make it, we are under a snow advisory starting tomorrow morning, supposed to last unitl Sunday, anywhere from 4 to 8 in.

[T-Zab]

Hey Im still in ! Just one here.
Todd

[dieselglory]

ill be there for sure also. A couple have dwindled, but it should still be good.

[Garagekeeper]

See you all there in the afternoon...
So save me a seat.
:rolleyes: John...

[nevrnf]

I will be there. Also a buddie is coming with some Info on a GPS tracking company. I know Ron had talked about a system for his fleet. They will have some info flyers and i believe they are bringing a vehicle with it installed and a lap top to demonstrate.
See everyone later.

[Plow Grrl]

i have pink eye. Apparently this is running wild in McHenry & Crystal Lake. I went to the eye doctor Thursday and she had "9" people come in for the same thing. 1st question she asked was if i was around anyone with an upper respitory infection, thanks to my darling 4 1/2 nephew who has bronchitis and my tooling engineer hacking all over the place i got viral pink eye.

I don't think any of you want to get it. So, sorry daddy, i am not going i will try and call your cell phone in a while. Sounds like fun will be had by all of you guys/girls.

[T-Zab]

Anyone planning on showing up with there blade on ?
Todd

[nevrnf]

Not me. Who wants to see a used Western omg

[4evergreenlawns]

I will be bring the 06 with the 810/Downeaster spreader & my F-450 with the 8611 LoPro, Rear Camera and lots of LEDs.

So there will be tow of us.

Ron

[Will]

I saw your truck!

Nice meeting all of you guys! John, thanks for the hat :D

Anyone else go skating across the lot on the way out? omg

[DistinctiveDave]

NIce meeting all you guys also. Too bad we couldnt hang out longer, but with the weather we have to make the money.

[Grass Busters]

Full salt ap tonight :D payup

[4evergreenlawns]

I am glad we all finally got to see each other. It was a great time, Eric aslo had a great time and was happy to met some other guys that are as crazy about snow, plows, and equipment as I am.

John, Ditto on the hats that was a great surprise. Gald you were able to snap some pics too.

We left got back to the yard loaded the truck and went out for a full salt app and walks.

Summer time would be great for a BBQ or two. After I get some shade up over the patio (Steve) I would totaly be up for hosting. I think it would ne funny getting some pics of all the LTS guys in the pool.

[T-Zab]

It was great to meet everyone as well, it was to bad the weather couldnt hold off.
Nota zip for accumulation up north by me. The lots were still black up here. Just a hint of snow on the lawn. Well lets hope this next one brewing out west gives us a couple of inches of white gold.
Todd

[3311]

We will have to get together again. It was nice being able to put a face with a name. Maybe a get together at Ron's house would be a good idea. Not so sure about the pool. I'm not an engineer but I think once John and I got into the pool the water would be dangerously close to going over!!

[S Kennedy]

Did anyone get some pictures ??

[jbutch83]

Post some pictures, I would have like to make it, but the weather on the other side of the lake came through for us. Been out since 0230, had to pick the kids up till 1:30, then back at it for another 8 hours or so. Hope you all had a good time.

[T-Zab]

John took some with his ex-ray camera. I left mine in the truck as usual. To bad we didnt get one of the trucks lined up with all the blizzards on.
Todd

[Garagekeeper]

I'm glad that we all were finally able to get together.
I'm sure yesterdays weather did add to the shortness of the event and prevent some members from driving out and joining in.
Just think of the stack of "wing" bones we would have left if everyone was able to attend.
A "special" thanks goes out to the following manufacturers for the their support by providing the door prizes.
"Blizzard Snowplow"; "Boss Snowplow"; "Daniels Plows"; "Western Snowplow" and "FallLine Polyurethane Products".
And most importantly "Chuck Smith" for starting this site which has allowed us all to be able share information, experiences and meet and make new friends across the country.

Thanks again and look forward to seeing you all at the next one.

I'll post the pictures as soon as I get them resized .

:rolleyes: John...

[nevrnf]

Wish i could have made it. I got the call from one of our property managers just as i got to the corner of rt58 and meacham :mad: I had to get the trucks rolling as there was ice in the western properties. Hope to put a face with a name next time.

Hey Guys,


Looked like a great time. I am in Oak Lawn so if you guys plan another get together I would love to come out and spend some time with like minded folks. In the mean time let mother nature be kind to us and be safe.

[4evergreenlawns]

Ryan,

Welcome to LTS. You can spend weeks just reading and still never get all the information that can help you do better. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
