Help A Busted Up Logger........Win A Chainsaw

As many of you guys probably already know......one of our local loggers was badly injured in the woods a few months ago. We figured we could help the guy out by offering a few saws to raffle off. Well.......I'm gonna be honest and throw the cards on the table here. So far the total in donations on this drawing don't even begin to cover the value of the saws.

We are gonna try again. The folks that have donated to this cause so far will have their donation amount doubled to double their odds of winning. The reason for doubling the previous donators chances is that we are changing the drawing date to coincide with the West KY GTG. I figure that would be more than fair to those guys.

Just to be clear.........If You Donated Before This Thread Was Posted You Will Have Your Raffle Tickets Doubled!!!!!

Now before anyone starts thinking that 'Ol Randy has stepped in here and is stomping on toes with my ideas......rest assured that I've spoken with Terry, Woodchuck'r, and Wiggs. The facts are that all we want is to raffle off some saw and get the most help for Mitch that we can by doing so.

The first prize is a nearly new Husqvarna 562XP Those was donated by an anonymous member.



The new owner can decide whether or not he or she would like this saw stock or modded. I would be the guy doing the mods BTW.

The second prize is a very nice Husqvarna Closed Port 55. Wigglesworth has donated this saw and offered to port it or leave it stock......the new owner decides. Wiggs would be doing the mods on this one.

I'll have to get Jer to post up a pic of this saw.

Third is a Minty J'red 490 that WoodChuck'r has donated to the cause. He asked me if I would be willing to port this saw if the new owner desired and of course I agreed. Again......that's up to the winner of the saw.

We need Chuck'r to send a pic of this one as well.

And last is a Partner S65 that I built for the 4 cube event at the TN GTG. It didn't win but has cut sub 3 second times in 10X10 cants......a strong running cookie cutter for sure.

Here it is pulling a 9 pin rim in pine......

Terry will be extending the date on the WePay so it will run until October 26, with the drawing to be held on October 27 during the GTG.

I've spread it all over the site too. Ain't gonna stick it either. We will just have to keep it on the front page by posting in it.

Are there increments for the donations? $1? $5? $25? And is there a paypal account we can paypal the money to? Sorry if this was covered elsewhere but I didn't see the other threads and wouldn't mind donating.

Do we have our ducks in their proper rows this time Randy???
I wanted to donate before but it seemed like everyday there was another snafu!


Mike

Thanks for the reminder, just sent a donation, easy to do, wish it was more.

I donated before and would like to donate again. Would you please put up a link for the wepay in this thread? Or If I want to pay by check who should I mail it to? Terry? I hope we can get alot more people to donate, there sure are some really nice saws and it is for a real good cause.

How about contacting your neighbor "Wiggs" who took in over $7000 (tax free)....from two drives on this site..!!!

While still drawing 60% of his regular salary..?? - He practically never even posts anymore.

(I am Fish's protege...so... "I call them like I see them.".!!)

Just saying....I don't donate to anyone unless we're face to face...I do donate travel and food to folks in need)

Gave a ride home today to a woman walking....said her ##### was REAL good...I just dropped her off at her home..!!

Wow really. Your just looking to start a arguement with statements like that. There is no reason to post #### like that. Sometimes its better to just keep your mouth shut. I guess some people just never learn. I think its great to help people out like this, it shows alot about the type of people that are on here.

If you follow the $$ flow all along was it was getting pretty Huge..!!

How about YOU checking out the REAL $ numbers donated and "Wiggs" said himself he was getting 60% regular pay.

I'm not saying this isn't a good "charity drive"..donate if you want...

But I will say the "Wiggs" charity gave him BIG $$..($7000+) ..likely WAY more than if he was on the job
(and again..."Wiggs" was receiving..60% of his regular salary.!!)

And again..."Wiggs" seldom even posts on this site any more..??

I hate to lose your respect..as you are a very respected member...

I just feel that "Wiggs" should contribute heavily here as he received sooo much $$ from the 2 "charity" drives for him.

I refuse to further muddy this great thread by debating the facts with you but if you would like to have the veil of ignorance lifted shoot me a P.M.

I don't have a dog in this fight either way, but if you have a bone to pick with Wiggs - take it up with him, not us.

As for this charity event - whether you contribute or not is up to you. I'd be willing to wager that most of those who contributed before did it without expectation of receiving a reward.

After reading the details about Mitch and his battles ,I personally don't feel it is relevant or helpful,to grind an axe with "Wiggs".I don't know the man or his situation.What I do know, is how gut wrenching it is/was to read about Mitch and his challenges.I respect your right to an opinion,but Mitch needs all the help he can get.

Bad form sir. Maybe wiggs is out trying to make some money or pay back some of the help he received? I don't know and I don't care. What I *do* know is it has nothing to do with the current charity drive. You have every right to not donate. You do not have the right to come and rain on everyone's parade who are helping out someone in need.

I'd like to know how in the hell Wiggs financial situation is any of your business or has anything to do with this thread, but I've heard enough BS from you to do me. You're an idiot.

I just call em as I see them too.

I don't reckon we need to sticky this thread to stay on the first page. Thanks Just2Fat, you Sir are a huge help. :msp_thumbup:

While on the subject of Wiggs. Remember........he donated a very nice saw and has offered to port it for this drive. That's about 500.00 bucks he's giving back here.

Just calling them as they are.

Jeez I must have missed something.

When did medical care become free.........
