Hey canopyboy; what's in your wallet?...Or in the log? I was a little late on the shutter with this one.

 

[mtfallsmikey]

Here's buzzsawyer with a close call...almost a butt crack shot.

7oaks: could not see your pics...just showed up as the box with the red X

That's weird. I've uploaded them the same way as I always have. I see them just fine using Firefox on a MAC. Anybody else having a problem? I've written Admin David to see what he says.

Okay Mike...I just went to view the thread using another browser and got the red Xs (actually a blue question mark on Safari for MAC) IF I WASN'T SIGNED INTO THE SITE.

Could this be the problem? Were you signed into ArboristSite or coming in as a visitor?

 

[7oaks]

I'll get back to the sawing next but thought I'd add a break in here for some distractions that proved to be lots of fun.

Smallest sawyer with biggest saw::greenchainsaw: Ben maisman's youngest.

Ryans4022 demonstrating his mini tractor pull. He fabricated it himself and it really pulls.

Jonathan with his Homelite 2 stroke circular saw. Never seen one of these before.

Trying to get rid of the red Xs.

 

[mtfallsmikey]

Don't fret too much...it happens here sometimes, probably the firewall...I did log in regular-style, not as a visitor.

 

[canopyboy]

7oaks, I'm seeing your pics embedded in post 196, but not any others on this page. There's been problems in a lot of the threads with this over the last week. If I really want to see 'em, I hit "quote" which shows the link to the embedded picture. Then I use that to pull up the picture. But a lot of work for as many as you posted.

And thanks again!

Yeah I even had to drop start the 090 once. Didn't think I still had it in me.

 

[7oaks]

Hey guys...Let me know if I solved the red Xs problem?

Also see the new thread I started at:

http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=102398

for my explaination.

 

[mtfallsmikey]

I've tried to embed photos in the posts before, with no luck. We'll see how the vids work when I get them.

Thanks Graeme...You know you are welcome even if there isn't a GTG happening. Just save those pennies in a special account and they'll eventually add up the plane fare. You'd have enjoyed the after hours excess beer, moonsxxxxx and Scottish whiskey as well! Again, it was a truely great group of guys and you would have fit right in.

I guess you broke the whisky after I left...Don't you know, I ran into rain on the way back, around Augusta, was in it all the way home. Then the downpour came. Sunday was gorgeous!

LMAO!!! Thats great

 

[mtfallsmikey]

I got to see and run more saws last Saturday than I've run in years...What impressed or amazed you guys the most? As far as I'm concerned....

Homie hot saw...1st time I've ever seen a hot saw in person period
Homie 750...wood destroyer!
Husky 395...Ditto!
Contra/084/08...first time for seeing a Contra, the other two amazing.
Dolmar...Smoothest saw

And of course...Buzz's red Homies..an impressive resto job. And watching him run my RA...priceless!

But in all fairness...all of you brought your best to the table.

1st Video

Here's canopyboy using his 660 (I think but I didn't take notes).

Can anyone tell me how to make a video link so that there is an image of the video in the message as opposed to the link as it is here?

 

[K5krawler]

I think thats the 084 AV. I can tell because I stripped all the paint off the bottom of the handle so I have a silver bottomed handle with the black grips.

Hey 7Oaks, that was canopyboy but he has a 460. My guess is that it was ilovemy660's.

For embedding the video:
On the youtube page, there is a blue box to the upper right of the video that has the posters name plus "URL" and "EMBED". You want to copy the embed link and paste directly into your posting here.

Without the leading "<" on each element
