Well Dan it looks like the saw auction idea is a bust. Not one response.
If you have any interest in these saws you can have them. If not I'll put them back on the shelf to collect more dust.
Sure wish someone would have chimed in about that old Crapsman. It might be a POS not worth putting gas in but saw history is always interesting to me.

I take that back.
Two bids in the open forum for the Homey and a PM bid late last night. Looks like we might have a little nest egg for you after all.
Thanks to all the bidders!!
 
Add in Derrick and I still have room for 1 more.:msp_w00t:

Looks like I'll have the weekend off. I'll take that seat. Got a green flag time?

I'll have along a couple pounds of venison sticks for snackage. Sounds like you guys have the ropes/etc. pretty well covered, but if needed, I've got 120' of 3/8" Amsteel Blue with shackles and a redirect pulley if needed. Let me know, and I'll load em up. I also have a spare pair of chaps if someone wants to use em.

Do you want me to bring my cable? Or do you think it will be covered with your rope?

I think that we tried to FaceTime or Skype SawTroll at one GTG. Time change was also a factor.

(But if we are going to try this, please let me know in advance so that I don't bring my Echo!)

My saterday just cleared up, I will be riding down with jonsered racket. I didnt have time to look threw the whole thread, is there an breakfast saftey meating or aderss for the gtg?
 
I didnt think of a safety meeting but we could have one right at the 9 oclock start time. If someone can maybe bring donuts that would be great. Pm manyhobies or myself for the address.
 
STEVE NW-We can meet either at my house or at the shop. Will hook up with the dodgegeeks at a yet to be determined location. Maybe do breakfast around 7AM with Derrick and raket? Make it to the worksite by 9. Gotta roll out somewhere between 3 and 4pm- got a fundraiser for a customer who lost his place in a fire last fall up in Grantsburg.
 
Start time change ****EDITED*****

Safety. Keep the saw out of your leg and the guys leg next to you! Keep an eye out for the other guy. Let's finish the day with everyone with all of the parts they came with! Treat the farmers land with respect. He knows a group is coming. Except for a few trees that will be pointed out, we're only cutting dead ones.

Anyone have anything to add?

We'll start the meeting at 8:15 in front of my wood shed. Someone have a "release of liability sheet" they could send me for guys to sign?

Depending on the weather, we could have a fire. Looks like it's going to be fairly warm with a high of 28.
