ConnectiCubFest VI May 4, 5, 6

It wasn't the weather..... it was Mothers Day. It was pretty quiet, but Rob in NH and his son got a good tour of the place. At least, I think I gave a good tour :D
 
We always have at least one bad weather day. Art C is the cause of it, but we can't seem to get rid of him. He spends more time at Zagray, than he does at home! Ed

I have been waiting for 51 weeks for this show. I bought my cub the week end after last years spring get together, I bought it right down the road in salem and the guy asked me did you go to the show? I said what show? ever since I have been waiting. I wont miss this for anything. I live 20 mins away. See you all there.
 
Good news, You'll like the show. Bad news, if you irritate Bob Perry, you'll end up on the forum, with your face, on a goat or cow, or possibly worse
There are actually 3 shows per year, in Colchester. The Cubfest is part of the spring show. All are worth attending, especially from 20 minutes away! Ed
 
Heck I may even bring a Cub this time.... if the machine shop gets busy (wrong rod bearings) I may even have the long stripe Cub :shock:. Or Rufus with a for sale sign.
 
I'm a new cub owner learning the art and science of frustrating, broken-down cub-life. I'm also a veggie farmer which makes May 4-6 about the worst time for a festival. But I'd love to come. What can I expect? Should I figure out how to bring my tractor? I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to fix just about everything there is to fix (which has stopped working since I bought the thing 2 months ago! I assume this is a good place to learn!

It is a difficult trade off...do you come down and lose valuable time that you could be working on the farm or stay on the farm and spend the season scratching your head with tractor problems. Best bet is to figure out how to get your Cub to the festival and get it running properly and get operating and tune up tips. Which is worth more in your estimation?
.
In addition you can make contacts and meet people who might have equipment for sale that you might need in the future. A lot of guys come across equipment deals all the time. I have had at least 6 sets of cultivators that I have bought and sold. Same with others. Rent a U haul trailer, bring some homemade food...cookies, or soup or something to share with others and you most likely be glad you did. If time is pressing to get stuff planted on your farm, just come on down on Saturday, but let people know your plans and what you need done so some of the guys can dedicate their time to help you. They are always looking for projects.

Any projects? Anyone?

I am bringing Ed two boxes of angus burger patties. So making burger patties won't be on the project list.
Bob Perry won't be teaching PhotoShop classes so that won't be on the project list.

I probably will bring a tractor and might set up a fast hitch on it. We'll see if I am up for towing a trailer with the baby Tacoma...
 
TST will be bringing me a tire so I will try and put that on a rim. What tools are needed for putting a tire on? My brother Andy probably will be down. He is a mechanic and shop owner so he can help me. His kids have scouts and bday parties to do so he can be of help without kids running around.
 
A couple of tire irons, and something to lubricate the tire with. (dishwashing detergent) (I know that you usually use your dog, for dishwashing, but, in this case, you need the slipperyness, of the detergent) Ed
 
Probably a bit late, but I would get a new tube from Tucker. About $25. See if you can get some tire soap. I just show up at a tire place with a small container and beg, always works :wink: Will try to remember the spoons and the little bit of soap I have left. Tires are best done with Yogie around :D
 
Thanks Ed...I will get some tire irons. My dog picked up the dish licking habit from YOU and that donut licking habit of yours.
I just got tubes from Petes Tire Barn....Someday Yogie will leave the South and come to a Northern CubFest....that would be cool.
I anyone has tire spoons please bring them.
 
Yogie is my hero! He had a pair of rear tires off at the Hog Waller before I could have collected the tools and 'planned' job :lol:
 
Got a sweet deal for new tires through my brother. 8 ply BKT R135 8.3 x 24 and will bring those down to mount up. They were $170 each and got more than 30 % off!!! :{_}:
 
Well sometimes plans have to change and to my dismay I will not make it to this years events. Mostly due to a lack of cooperation on the part of the weather. So no donuts for Ed , things may change but it is doubtful. I know you will all have a great time.

Joe, you shouldn't tease me, by saying you're bringing DONUTS, and then back out. Unfair, and probably unethical! What would the Donut Eaters of America, Vice president, think of a fellow union VP? Ed
