It all started when Andy volunteered me to handle the raffle for the Dolkita saw that was being auctioned off this winter for Stumpy. (the one Benp won) Andy had raved about running Grandpa tractor's, but when we were done raffling, I knew-He was going to have to have one. So I reached out to EC Saws, who built the raffle saw, to see what it would take to put one together. He told me what I needed, and I went to work. (I decided to send the work to Stump since we didn't have a Stumpbroke saw yet.) After calling every home depot in MN, western WI, and northern IA for weeks, I finally scored at the Apple Valley Home Depot just when I was starting to worry that I wouldnt have time to pull it off.
On a day that Andy thought I was going grocery shopping, I made a 250 mile trip to pick up saws, deliver them to Wetgunpowder, and still make it home with groceries before he had any idea what was going on. For the next few weeks, I secretly emailed, called, and texted with Stumpy, Wetgunpowder & Heavyfuel to make it happen. Then we got to watch Stumpy build his first 7900. HOW COOL.
Well, last night, it all happened. I think most folks knew that the saw was for Andy, except of course, for Andy. Stump & I were trying to figure out how to give it to him, & he finally said "I'm just gonna do it". So he walked up to Andy & handed him the saw. Andy said "Ya, I'd take that." Stump said, "that's good, cause it's yours". About this time Andy was trying to figure out in his head how he could talk mke into buying another saw... Stump leaned over & said to me "I think that went over his head, didn't it." Then he realized it. It WAS his! :msp_wub:
What an incredible weekend we have had! Woo hoo!
