Eastern PA GTG

[oscar4883]

And just so we're clear on names here. This is Oscar:

If you are afraid of dogs, wear high boots or watch your ankles. He sense's fear. I'm really not joking.

Thanks
John

Holy $rap ..Count me out !!!

I'm afraid of Rottweilers. I hear they are mean. Oscar I think something is wrong with your camera....the lens is making him look really short..and long !!!

Hi John, Sunday is good for me. PM me if you need additional lumber, food, etc.

BTW, nice dog you have there. I have had a long standing interest in WWII aviation history and the "dackel" was the preferred mascot for many Luftwaffe squadrons. Small, but the potential is there for packing a mean punch.

Lookin fwd to the GTG and hope the weather cooperates.

If the name of the game is tough dogs, I can bring a few....

Dual Champion Conquest's Cortez, 120 + pounds, a total beast:

Dual Champion Conquest's Hagar, 95 pounds:

Dual Champion Califassa Red, 90 pounds of ripped muscle:

Califassa would probably be the best bet for Oscar. She goes into heat in another week or two.

 

[oscar4883]

Wild looking dogs! I bet they eat oscars body weight in food a day! LOL

 

[oscar4883]

Some time towards the end of the week I would like to get a better hold of who all is coming. Via Pm would work well. That way I can make sure to have enough food, wood, etc. on hand. Looking forward to meeting some fellow AS members. Possibly a member who can help me with learning how to post videos. LOL

 

[oscar4883]

If possible could all those who a coming or are pretty sure they are coming, please send me a PM. Just want to get a close head count. Thanks again guys.

I'm going to come if the weather is good. Drive down Saturday find a motel.
I'll bring some Huskys and Jonsereds.

 

[oscar4883]

Those that have pm'd me this week i did receive them even if I did not reply yet. Thank you. I will be keeping an eye on the weather. Just caught a bit of the news tonight and it looks like there could be some shower activity. I will keep the thread updated.

 

[DEG305]

I don't know exactly where you are located Oscar but I just watched the weather on ch16 in Scranton and "Tom" indicated that Sun. will be sunny all day! But "Tom" has been wrong before!!

 

[J.Walker]

Being a PA GTG I will bring some moded saws done by a menber from PA. My 346XP and 372XPW both fast saws.
Going to bring some other moded saws done by Jim from Nebraska. A Jonsered 2153CWH and if it arrives in time a new 2171C with the 75cc top end. Both these Jonsereds I bought from Spike in the last year or so.
I do have some top handle saws and race saws. If anyone has some interest speak-up.

Oscar,
I'm interested in coming. is there anything resembling a itenerary yet? I'm most interested in filing/sharpening "classes" and maybe a few tuning tips as well. Are any of the sponsors bringing some "toys" I sure would be interested in a tach.

The good looking gal on WBRE at noon showed maybe late day rain. The weather channel showed rain. It's 6 days off. Anything can happen.

I'll have a 346 XP and a 141. Can you handle it? LOL

Got you covered on the sharpening and I have a tach also. I'm half deaf so I'm pretty sure my saws are usually all a little rich. LOL As far as an agenda, I fiqured something like this: show up, BS, cut, eat. Mix it up in any combo you would like. After showing up that is.

Sounds like fun ! I'll make sure my boss gives me the day off first. Pencil me in !

Perfect Itenerary! Go with the flow.

My hearing is going also, so I'll have the headphones with me too.
Serious ringing in my ears, or as I call it, the voices in my head!

i'll run against your 372 and 2171 with my 7900.
for kicks i might even try your 2171 or 372 with my 038m.

i have no 'race saws' per say, but i have something very special in the 60cc saw range to unveil at the gtg (if the last 2 parts i need ever arrive). assuming i get it done in time, i'll run against your 2153 or 2171 with it.

 

[spike60]

In the "What's new" category, I'll bring the 560XP and a 372XT. Other saws might depend on what has gas in it at the moment. Maybe a 2186, 288, 920Super, a 350/346 conversion. A couple of older saws to make a few different sounds. Jonny 801, 70E. A Homelite or Mac. Anybody else bringing some older stuff?

Anyone bringing anything to swap, or in need of something to complete a project, post it in the thread and maybe we can all help each other out.

 

[oscar4883]

I think good start time would be 8 o'clock. Feel free to come earlier but we'll shoot for 8. As far as food is concerned I will have burgers, dogs, etc. I will be contactly some of the members who offered to bring tasty treats via pm later tonight. I will have sodas also. Looks like we should have a good turn-out. Weather is looking pretty good. Trading would be great. I have a few complete saws, some runners, that I need to give away!
