get together this weekend

[Marky Mark]

Dan explained to me he will be having the Bud Girls do the timing. Of course it will be like a wet T-shirt contest without the water.
Seems like things are shaping and the 346 fest part ? will have even more saws. I even heard that there is a 260 that will have a pipe.

 

[ehp]

Mark i should not let the cat out of the bag but Gypo has a new saw as well and people will laugh at it until they see it run
can you say WILD THING ON PIPE

 

[Marky Mark]

I was wondering when you would pipe a "Wild thang" I Ran the 404 on the 385KD and that thing is a cutting fool. I have to admit Dennis C out did himself this time. This chain is fast maybe the fastest yet and it shines on the 385kd. I wonder if there will be any other 385's there Woods modded of course.

 

[ehp]

Gypo has one of those 385 KD's Mark so you can play with him and i am not sure how many Dan has made but i am sure a few so i think there will be lots to play with and your super holly sh#t is this .404 fast chain made by the one the only Dennis C

Gypo keep practicing your cold start , Bracebridge is only just over a month away now, May 1st will be here before you now it and i know you are a little out cc'd with the 346 but you can run in the 0-81 cc pipe class, just look at it as practise before you move up into a faster saw, now it is cold start , 3 cuts in 10 to 12 inch round popular , have not made my mind up yet on wood size but it will not be bigger than 12'' round for the small saws

Hi Ed, that would be fun for sure. I always get a bit seized in front of the big crowds, but it's so much fun after the race and it's a great way to get involved regardless of what happens, like when I ran against the best in the East in N.H. and forgot to turn the ignition switch on when I chose to do the drop start.
Wish I had a picture of that one, appears I almost got a standing ovation, so it proves there is merit in being foolhardy.
Will DB be there ( Danny Boulangier)?

I guess that I conveniently misplaced his written invitation. He will need to present that invitation at the ticket booth.
I have a lot on my mind right now and I cant keep track of ANYTHING.
Thank you so much for your prompt attention to this matter. I hope that I have not inconvenienced you in any way.
Later
Dan

Frendly Email

Hi All
Here is a copy of one of my friendly emails.
Some people are sooo polite.
I just love those friendly capitol letters.

Dan,

Hi! My name is Di Anne Barnard. I am e-mailing you for a friend. He would probably KILL ME if he knew that I was even e-mailing you. He just came to me and asked me if I could look something up for him. I tried and tried to find ANYTHING on the website. I couldn't really find any information out about "This Weekend" get together. He did tell me that he thought it was April 10th. or something like that.

Would you mind terribly sending me some type of information on this. Feel free to respond back to me via this e-mail. I will welcome anything that you may have to offer on this event.

Thank you so much for your prompt attention to this matter. I hope that I have not inconvenienced you in any way.

Take Care,
Di Anne


Like the cell phone commercial said.
Can you here me now?

Sounds like a solicitation to buy a Flowbee or a new set of Ginsu 2000 knives to me.

Hi Dan, I hope you didn't think I was refering to you when I asked Ed if Danny was going to be there.
Anyway, here's Danny.
John

Hey John, putting .jpg on the end of it don't always make it so...

 

[ehp]

Gypo i donot know yet if Danny will be there but i would think she should be , i know she said she was coming but until we see the entre forms we donot know but i would said 99% sure she will be there with her 084 stihl, i guess i better get a head on the 346 fast so you can get ready , ordered your parts for your clutch today so she will handle all that power

Hi Dan, that didn't sound right when I reread the above, I was just trying to make a recovery from what I though you thought I had said.
Hi Glens, I did that to differentiate between the bmp that it was to the jpeg that it is now, so I just added a jpeg to the end when I changed it. Shouldn't it have come up as double?lol
Hi Ed,will you run my saw there? That way, I can take pictures instead of the contestants?
Dan, if I got that email, I would have thought she was flurting with me, being as nave as I am.

Trouble is, John, yours ain't a JPEG image.  The server took it's cue from your file extension, then sent it declared as a file type of image/jpeg.  It's like posting under a pseudonym...

Nevertheless, even without the chainsaw she's quite attractive!

[Gypo Logger]

Hi Glen, why are BMP's so slow to open as opposed to JPEG's. Plus, they take forever to download?
Lucky that adobe can change one to the other.

Forget the Bud girls. You need to get the La bikini team. http://www.labikiniteam.com/

These girls are really smart and they have the best body that money could buy.

Hi John.

The nutshell answer is BMP is a direct representation of everything needed to create the image on screen while GIF, JPG, and PNG are compression methods to consolidate the information.

In terms I know you can directly relate to, a BMP chainsaw will stay sitting right on the bench while you pull the starter cord 'cause it ain't got no compression.&nbsp; The other methods can offer so much compression even <i>you</i> couldn't drop-start them without a few release valves.

JPEG, in particular, is best suited to "natural" images (like photos) because in achieving the high amounts of compression it throws out a lot of fine detail, averaging stuff together.&nbsp; Look closely at an enlarged portion of an image and note the checkerboard patterns.&nbsp; And I'm not talking about the square pixels themselves, rather the way they're arranged.

In my example image, the top is an enlargement of a PNG image and the bottom is of the same image JPEG compressed.

The averaged "lossiness" of JPEG isn't too noticeable in "real" images but it's "outstanding" in such as my example.&nbsp; PNG isn't very good at stuff like the pic of Danny because in that type of application it can't offer very much savings.&nbsp; Here's some relative sizes:<pre> 921654 danny.bmp<br> 642559 danny.png<br> 80868 danny.jpg</pre>It should be noted that JPEG isn't the best for images like the one I posted earlier (and which is enlarged in this current attachment); the PNG version is 7833 bytes, the BMP version is 50468 bytes, and the JPEG version is 55407, so not only did it wind up uglier, but larger.

I hate to spoil it for you, but MPEG is very similar to JPEG and now you'll notice the checkerboard patterns along hard lines on satellite TV and DVD, which are so encoded.&nbsp; It's a curse knowing this crap; I can't enjoy anything.&nbsp; Well, not really; I don't want to know how beer is made.

By the way, it looks like your photo had already been a JPEG before because the tell-tale checkerboards are present.

[Gypo Logger]

Hi Glen, that was a good explanation. So what really happens if a bmp was changed to a jpeg, then back to a bmp, other than that it would deteriorate from the original.
Putting me at a computer is much like putting a monkey at the controls of the space shuttle.

I hope you guys are getting ready, I recieved a wonderful surprise in the mail today from Canada. Just a few practice chains but what surprised was they didn't get lost in the mail and tracking number worked......Go figure

Dennis C I mean Bafoon I also got your little 404 package today. That new 404 SX 5000 looks great and the cuts I made with the 385 with my lady timing today was about 2thousands faster than the first one.
Thanks Guys and keep up the good work.

 

[ehp]

thats great Marky and it only took a couple days like 6 days or maybe it was 5, did you see what i meant on no room for anything else and it was heavier than it looked
