Sept 2013 New England Grain Buy

Ok talked to Redman and the Saturday is the better day for him. I have all the money ready and will place the order in the morning for delivery on Thursday of that week. We are good for folks to sort at this point.

We are looking at Saturday December 7th for pickup at Redman's if I am understanding correctly?

Any bulk grain buys planned within the next few months?

Yes looking at the 7th for pick up

If you don't have my address shoot me a PM and I'll send it along

The order has been placed.

Also when you get to the drop off do not take any grain from your pile. Wait till I call your HBT user name. We will then go over your order and make sure that everything is correct. After that everyone will help you load your car. You will be expected to stick around and help load other orders. Please make sure to set a side enough time to help load cars. Normally it takes about 2 hours to get threw the loading.

What time are we meeting on Saturday, December 7?

Anyone need grain transported to Northampton/Amhrst area? PM me.

I will be helping with the splits and can bring back a dozen bags in the Corolla.

Grain has been paid for should show up Weds.

any update on this?

I would think about 9 but I need to talk to redman to finalize things

For anyone who has done a PBW split before, what size of bucket (or other container) should one bring for a 1/4 of a 50lb PBW.

Thanks

It comes in a 5 gallon pail. So a 2 gallon one will work. You want something air tight

OK so pick up is nailed down. We are going to meet at 8am to sort and 9am for pick up. It normally takes about 2 hours to get everything done. We need folks to be on time for the pick up. You will also be expected to stay until everyone has their orders put away. If you can't make it to the pick up you need to make arrangements to get your grain either having someone pick it up for you or talk to Redman about holding it.

If you are sorting and can bring a scale that would be helpful.

8AM? ok. I'll bring an analog bathroom scale and a digital 5 kg scale.
I'll see what I have for spare bags.

I wouldn't worry about the bathroom scale. I have one of the digital scales if we had one more digital that would be great.

I'm headed down from Nashua, and will get there as early as I can before 9 AM. I have a digital scale that I can bring.

I'll PM for the address. Thanks for putting this together.

I'm driving down from Medford and can probably fit 10 bags in my car in addition to mine. PM me if anyone would like me to grab their order.

crazyirishman34 - count me in for the next round please

The Grain Is Here

Do we need to bring containers for splits of grain?

That would be helpful

Sent a pm to redman and crazy irish for the address but haven't heard back yet. Please send me the address in Taunton. Thanks, see you Sat before 9. NHWRECKER

I never got a PM but its best to get the address from redman. He knows it off the top of his head.:fro: :se

I also sent a PM to redman and haven't heard back. Redman can you send me a PM with the address and pick-up time.

it looks like rain Saturday moring so if you are coming to sort please bring a tarp if you can. Redman and i have popup tents that we are going to bring. if you have a pupup and feel like bringing it that would be great.

Just a last reminder folks coming to sort should get there at 8am. Pick up starts 9am.

never mind

I've been stuck in Dallas for days in the ice storm trying to get home...
Lets just say me and 10k other people have been calling DFW home for several days

I plead for your forgiveness!!!!!!!

And gratitude for the grain buy!

I would like to give a big thanks to you guys for organizing this, and a big thanks for everyone helping load up my bud's truck. took way less time than I ever expected.

Enjoy the sag on the titan:

What is the best way to stay "in the know" for the next purchase?

I will post the next buy in this thread. I need to talk to Redman67 see if we can use his garage again.

Much appreciated CraZy!

Any estimates on the next grain buy? I know this one just happened, but just planning for the future.

I am thinking after Xmas I will post the next one.
