No Joke.
I made a phone call today to a retired shop teacher. Out of that phone call came a neat idea to Get Together. Ironically there will be a Snow Shadow sneaking around in July as well, so Here it is......
The 2017 Mid West Cat Clowder summer edition.
The thought is to keep it simple, work related with a social over tone.
Come One, Come all. July 22-23 will be a snow cat GTG in Appleton WI. Camping on site, Bring a camper, Tent ect....
There are franchise hotels near by,
There is a big farmhouse to find a spot in. What ever suits your needs.
Bring a Cat.
Buy a Cat
Sell a Cat
Fix a Cat
Operate a Cat.
There are a couple of distressed ST-4's that will be the focus of the mechanical attention.
Example here:
the one headed west needs its tracks put on.
The one headed south needs some motor work.
A resident machine will be getting its valves adjusted as well as new push rod tubes.
A amphibious Spryte will be needing some assembly.
There is a planned open house of a private over the snow collection nearby. (300 H-H can elaborate in the collection) It is worth the 20 minute ride over there to see it.
The event is 50 minutes from Road America, the Vintage cars are there that weekend.
This is the weekend before the Experimental Air craft Association's Oshkosh EAA. so come early for the EAA and take in a display of vintage people and enthusiastic over the snow transportation contraptions.
I will fire up the Boo-Yah cooker, as well as the Pig spinner, I heard AweHellSnow mention breakfast on the farm, all the single ladies will contribute. ( her flock of yard birds )

In addition to the cluttered expired dairy operation buildings, I have a 20'x30' tent lined up to make the clowns feel at home and take care of the sun or the rain...
I am thinking to make a team building competition to divide the group into to teams and have a VW start up competition. the Two Snow tracs have not operated for 12-15 years respectively.Rick you are a neutral resource to keep it fair
Please contact your networks of enthusiast any way you can as not many folks are thinking snow this time of year.
any and all comments for activities welcome, I feel the host compound is quite entertaining. We could watch the movie The Thing, from the inside of the LMC used in the final scene...
