No problem, bring it along. I'll have to have Groundie hold my cash...

 

[farmer steve]

Nice. Your really putting together a nice event. I'll try out that 044 and 660. Might even bring some pie.

Mastermind will be your buddy all weekend. he loves pie, especially if it's banana creme.

I only had to transport these logs about 500 yards so it wasn't a big deal to lay in a good supply. If there's leftovers, I'll just buck them into firewood. I have a number of smaller diameter ones as well so we can do suitable testing with the limbing class saws in a realistic environment. One of the irritating things on the chainsaw forum is people having inflexible opinions on saws they've never put in wood. For anyone that attends, I think it will be a great opportunity to dispel some of the conjecture and put reality behind the thought process. I've never run (yet) a ported saw other than some mild woods ported ones I've done myself. I'm looking forward to that opportunity at this event. We'll have 1. Chainsaws. 2. Wood to cut. 3. Food to eat. 4. Stuff to buy and sell. Sounds like a fun day to me!

I'm hoping to be there, but my son's activities will probably dictate whether or not I come.

Bring him.

 

[nmurph]

Bring him.

We play football and baseball, so we may have a game. He's the quarterback and a pitcher so he pretty has to be there.

Bought posterboards and a giant Sharpie to make GTG signs, bought name tag stickers, picked up the hot dogs and some fixins for them, bought a selection of bbq sauces for the pork, also made arrangements to snag a couple chunks of large oak (not real large but bigger than what I have). Also one of the AS guys is lining up big wood and maybe some racing cants. So it appears the final pieces are coming together. Is it Sept 20 yet?

 

[Mastermind]

A 5 hour drive for me........piece of cake.

I'm feeling extremely burned out on saws........worse than ever. Maybe this will help.

I'll cover the sauce I you want to return what you got. Guess I forgot to mention that. Sorry. I'll have a tangy vinegar base and a sweet and spicy syrup/tomato base.

Hey, FOP, just a thought, you said you had 80 logs. Why not get them marked/we'll all help day of the event, for whatever size firewood you cut, instead of cutting a zillion cookies?

 

[Mastermind]

Much better idea than wasting wood on cookies.

I have zero tolerance for wood wasting; I burn all the cookies I make. My dog, Buddy, likes to carry a few off and eat them raw.....

 

[warpig6]

My dog Jase just piles them in the driveway. I started putting them in her dogloo to try and dissuade her, but so far this hasn't been effective.

I think it's still hard enough; the 555G said it was definitely heavy. It'll make Purdy shavins too, if you run a Sling'r Approved Chain and Mista Monkey Monkeyed with saw in it.

 

[morewood]

What kind of wood is that? I plan on having one or two of those chains on my mm ported 980 Olympyk w/36" bar when I get down there.

 

[Bilge Rat LT 20]

Bilge Rat and Wife
are planning to get there

Will bring something, maybe peas, beans, or dessert like Key Lime Pie.

I inherited some machinest tools that are too large for my little lathe that i may bring if someone needs them.
1/2" tool bits, carbide inserts, milling cutters, keyway cutters, endmills, etc.
Starrett, Browne and Sharpe, and Mitzatoyo mikes, 1 thru 6" Height gauge, edge finders, thread pitch gauges, calipers, dial indicators and mounts etc. More stuff than i could ever use.

My fishing buddy was in the aircraft building industry and large job shops before that.
I will bring some of this if anyone can use it . I would like for someone to get some use out of this good quality stuff for reasonable cost.

We dropped it a few years ago on the farm: I thought it was oak, but it's probably some kinda Gum

I'm bring same size oak as well
