It looks like it was a beautiful day, and a fabulous venue for such a GTG.

All I can say is that I have serious homestead and beard envy.

How does a monkey get the chips all over his back unless the chain is on backwards?

I was perplexed as well so I wrote a 305 page proposal and got a government grant to do a video study and here are the results. My, scientifically obtained, conclusion is that his modified saw is so slow that the chips float in the air but he is even slower and can't get out of their way!!

See what you think? :msp_w00t: :msp_scared:

It looks like you fellers had a good time. I wish I could have made it but I work 6 10s on nightshift and I had already took my vacation for the end of the month to get hitched.

I'm apologizing before hand if this is not 7oaks. Sorry about the blown highlights Always a compromise when exposing for subject with mixture of sunlight/shaded areas without fill flash. I'm sure 7oaks knows all about that

I would have loved to have been there as well. With a sick 8month old and sick almost 4 yr old the trip would not have gone well. I love all of the pics and putting some faces to familiar names as well as seeing the welcoming people I met on my last trip.

Ernie, Dave and the VA locals have really outdone themselves. If you guys need to try a real power unit for the saw mill dad has a 6-71 with lock up torque converter and 4 hydraulic pumps out of a JD scraper, the neighbors would be able to hear it 8 miles away without the exhaust on.

Keep up the great work, you guys are truly what makes this hobby so enjoyable.

We have already been thru that idea , can get a 671 , but been advised that a unit would turn the mill to fast and since it is set up for a tractor , would not be a good idea:bang:

Not only that but a GM 2 stroke diesel is a machine that turns diesel fuel into noise.
