Hey.. Who Cut the Cheese

[ehp]

Yes i do plan on going to Dave's , I have never been to his show but have been to lots of Cliff's shows

 

[066 stihl]

Ed, whats the date for cliff's show?

 

[ehp]

I know Dave's show is on Saturday July 3rd , now Cliff's show was normally on Friday afternoon but from what i have been told it is on Sunday July 4th but it makes sense to have it on the holiday

Barky I’m not sure who cut the cheese? I did cut some wood but I didn’t see you cutting any? What’s up with that? BTW all my clubs where there for all to try , some were rather found of them.

Seems like the mention of Cliff Helsel & EJ sent all the smoking fast saws running for the hills? Apples to apples instead of apples to oranges?

I think it would have been nice to at least tell the hosts that no one was coming. That way they could of housed more people and saved some of the other AS members the motel fees. Nothing like wasting good peoples, hard earned dollars because of ignorance!

Eric maybe you can take pictures of Daves saw and I can post them on my server so everyone can see them like you and Dan Henry did with EHP's 357. That is why I didn't show because of all the BS behind the scene.

As for the MI boys coming down You and Dan kept telling me there on there way when I knew they were never showing.

As for me putting people out let me know who stayed at a hotel and I will send them a check. I know that knowone stayed at a hotel. Keep up the good work. I would like to see the pictures of Daves work so get clicking.

If I was going to show to where people are packing a handgun over a chainsaw my life is worth more than a chainsaw. I have better things to do with my time. Like I said I Don't look good in a Hospital Gown.

Markey,
How about a pic of you in a hospital grown packing a Husky 357?... Rick/Saw ****

P.S....there were no guns there. Everybody had to pass through the metal detector before entering

 

[sedanman]

Anyone who stayed away for fear of violence or "behind the scenes bs" missed out. Period. All in attnedance were friendly and cordial. Sure there were some secrets but if you had an edge you'd guard it too. I got to run some saws I would never otherwise have the opportunity to. I had fun and can't wait until the next gathering.

 

[mryb]

I forgot...Sedanman had a sawed off double barrel, but he threw it over the top of the metal detector so we had to let him in...Rick/Saw ****

P.S...Markey, you missed out

 

[glens]

Mark, what's the <i>real</i> reason you neither showed nor begged off?&nbsp; I didn't stay in rented lodging, but did drive 1300 miles in part to meet you.

Markey,
I didn't stay in rented lodging, but I did drive 51 miles to meet you. I guess I coulda stayed at the Holiday Express in McClure...Rick/Saw ****

 

[tony marks]

sure looks like u fellas had a good time..
things go better for me,, im gonna try and make it one yr..mabe next..
why in heck would somebody be afraid of guns there. i kidded about it but,thats bout the last place i can think of where u needed a gun..anybody be a d-- fool,, to come to dans house with bad intentions anyway.hes probably got deer rifles an shot guns a plenty ..plus he probably knows the local law enforcement boys..
wouldnt be smart to go in his back yd with bad intentions .. im thinking anyway.

 

[Marky Mark]

Yep You guys are right this is why I didn't show. Glen I guess I missed the boat. It's not everyday the 2600 guy gets out. Ha Keep on Linuxgrooven.

But for me I felt it wasn't my place. Maybe we can all me out in Oroville. I know I am going so get your calenders marked and your loot together for your airfare. Of course lodging is extra. Eric and Dan I haven't gotten any emails of the people you claim I put out that had to go to the hotel. I'll keep checking my email.

Mark,

Tell you what, buy me the plane ticket and lodging for Oroville now, and I'll reimburse you with cash while there.&nbsp; Maybe that'll help urge you to follow through.&nbsp; We all knew you were coming to Dan's, too.

Been using Linux exclusively at home and except for FreeBSD, at work too, for just about to start my 8th year in a few days.&nbsp; Ain't no phracker though; I just want to use what works right.&nbsp; And I've still got my tan lines from last summer, as I do get out a bit.

More classic words from the peanut gallery.

 

[glens]

Well, Dennis, seeing's you've been in and around some this afternoon/evening and didn't offer up input until after my last post, am I to assume you're referring to me as part of the "peanut gallery"?&nbsp; Or are you referring to Mark, maybe?&nbsp; Or someone else?

Let's go with it's me you're talking about, so I'll have standing to say something about it.&nbsp; And bear in mind that I'm only talking for me; not anybody else who's posted in this thread, okay?

Beyond a "that's kind of neat" sort of way, I personally don't give two hoots about chainsaw racing, much less who makes the fastest saws or chain to race with.&nbsp; Nothing like any of that was the reason I went out to Dan's.&nbsp; Rather, it was to meet some of the people who hang out at this site.&nbsp; I think we have a little something in common beyond the racing stuff.

I had some fun running a few different saws, but only ones that might actually see <i>real</i> use for me, and especially because they're not readily available for sampling in my area.&nbsp; I don't think I so much as blipped the throttle on a piped saw -- they don't interest me that much.

Obviously there were some there who have a great interest in such things as highly-modified saws and talented racers, and I can appreciate their having such interest; I've got some rather esoteric interests myself.&nbsp; As I've reported earlier/elsewhere, while they were hot and heavy with the "real" race saws I was off helping a human saw-wielding squirrel because that's much more interesting to me.

I guess what I'm getting ready to say is that even if you were the best saw builder, chain maker, and user of the equipment in the world, (or if you personally know or hang out with them,) it doesn't really mean much to me.&nbsp; And likely the majority of the members here.&nbsp; I don't get too involved in behind-the-scenes BS here, and frankly don't understand it.

If I go to Oroville, and I just might, it won't be to race or to bow at the feet of the victors, but to have some fun with some good folks.&nbsp; Will you be there and be one of them?

Glen

 

[glens]

Well, after I posted the above I saw in the videos thread he was being put out.&nbsp; Maybe, even though he can't post here now, he'll read it, for what it's worth.

[tony marks]

guess i missed that.. what did he do...
never mind,,not really my concern ..
if the boss has spoken ,,thats about it,
i guess.

 

[rahtreelimbs]

This whole " I'm not going to Dan's because............." IMO is unbelieveable. What would it have hurt for all people who were planning on going to have participated?


Got me!



Sounds to me like the kid who took his Tonka Toy home from the sandbox!
