Re: CCI-GT get together
I didn't see when the Cookstown event is scheduled for. I know summer events fill up the calendar quickly.

Re: CCI-GT get together
Well, the Georgian Bay Steam show is on now, and through weekend.
Sorry for late update!!!
I'll be there Saturday and Sunday for sure. I have two tractors ready to go.
Saturday is a GT ploughing meet. Saturday night is the OTTA large tractor pull. Unfortunately, GT pull is a no-go this year.
Sunday, there is a Heavy Horse pull in-leu of GT pull.
This year is a bit of a re-start, and we've lost a lot of people and volunteers, so maybe a little chaotic!
Meet me at GT booth!!
BTW, we can mess around with ploughing all weekend if anyone wants, in past years it's been a learning experience for most.

Re: CCI-GT get together
Have a great time . Wish I could come but it is not in the cards this year . Would have been nice to bring the 222 down . My Dad and my son are going . I will tell them to watch for the GTs. Maybe next year I will be able to bring a couple of tractors .FUTZ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 12:49 pm Well, the Georgian Bay Steam show is on now, and through weekend.

Unfortunately its a show too far for me too. I think it would be around 3000 Kilometers round trip for me. Worried when I got to the border Canada might not let me in and the US might not take me back!
Well I have had the pleasure of being escorted across the border going both ways! At different times, thou! One time because I had fertilizer in back of my truck! I had tried to declare it going into Ontario, but they still didn't like me! Escorted me back to the USA!!!!!!
Another time I was crossing back into the USA and I had some Alpine Plant foods hats made in China. I couldn't prove where the cotton came from, and the office at Alpine was closed for the day. I had 12 hats! I said no problem, just keep the hats or throw them in the trash!! No, can do, I had to take them back into Ontario to dispose of them. The USA border gave me the escort that time back to Canada!!!
Later that night I crossed the same border back into the USA with 3 undeclared coats. No problem sailed right thru.
I had been stopped at the border at Port Huron and Detroit a number of times over a 13 year period. Some of the issues raised could have been dangerous to their health but they knew better than I did! So i played along!
It is a wonderful life!!

Re: CCI-GT get together
This was after the first couple of runs. I said “let’s take a picture” and immediately everyone got off their tractors. Not what I was hoping for.
I got a belt. (Won’t show you full length).
Case making coal.
That could do some ploughing.
