You fella's have fun, I'm sure you will. I'm heading to Michigan to Dingeryotes to pick some Blueberries and then go to Lake Michigan. I tried talking Dinger into a mini GTG but he said he's to busy for that...LOL

When is your GTG going to be?...

 

[gink595]

Never...Hahahaha. I had a change of heart after hearing that story of someone that tried to claim they fell on the hosts property and he was having problems legally with an insurance company, my stomach turned sour. I would never put myself in that situation, couldn't afford too. I never thought about liablity until I read that. My hats off to those of you that do host them though.

Though another member here (Atlarge54) has talked about maybe hosting one, he lives a couple miles from my place. We'd discussed that, I would help supply cants and such. Might have to think about it when things start to slow down. I'm putting in 50-60 weeks right now so I'm not to motivated.

I thought the same way for awhile, but the I made up my mind that I was not going to let todays society ruin my faith in good people...I talked w/ the insurance company and they said there is risk in anything you do today that is why you pay insurance...

Like has been said before there are always going to be ambulance chasers and worthless people (aka lawyers), but as long as the good people keep calling them out it likely won't happen more than once...

I have made mention in this thread that people will have to sign a waiver and the biggest reason is to have an actual list of the people present...I would hate for something to happen, but it is no different then driving down the road...There is always a chance...

I sure am glad people still have faith in others. I would really hate for there to be no more GTG's. I'd love to host a real GTG but seeing as how I live in a cul-de-sac, that presents some problems. Most of which is living in a cul-de-sac (if you've seen Inglorious Basterds, you may recognize that lol) I have little mini ones at my house that my buddies from the site that live close come to, but there would be no way to have a big one. I have no objections to signing a waiver. I say if someone is nice enough to host one, the least we can do is what they ask us to. If someone doesn't like that, they don't have to come.

Same for me Gink

Will anybody have a tach at the GTG? I'm somewhat embarrassed that I still can't learn what 4 stroking sounds like (and yes, I listened to Brad's video several times) so I would like to figure it out. If I had a tach, I figured I could start putting numbers with the sound.

 

[Arrowhead]

I will have one.

 

[Modifiedmark]

You guys have a-lot more saws than I do, but getting 9-10 saws + bars and chains ready to go takes some work.

Yes it can be a chore.

Trying to do the same thing here Mark, figure out what saws are making the trip.
So far thinking:
Partner P100
Partner/Pioneer P42
Poulan 5200 in red
Husky 395
Husky 372 (it's leaving the GTG for Brad's)
Dolmar 5100
Husky 262XP
Husky 254XP
Can I enter a Husky 36 in the Wild Thang race?
Stihl 026 and 290 as possible trade bait.

You have several listed that I want to get my grubby little mitts on to give a whirl.

That P-100, P-42 and 254 jump out at me.

I'll sign anything as long as they cant collect money from me.

I will have one.

Do me a favor and keep it away from this little ported Poulan will you?
I'm afraid it would scare me to death. LOL

I can only get mine to turn 11,200....

 

[outdoorlivin247]

Is that in wood?...:monkey:

 

[bowtechmadman]

I wouldn't mind putting a tach on a couple saws if you fella's wouldn't mind. Hopefully you two have different brands so I can check them out prior to ordering one.
If nobody minds my Father is going to tag along w/ me, seems kinda appropriate since he got me hooked on saws cutting wood as a kid on the farm. We plan on heading out about 4am Sat. morning.

Mine tach is a TT20K...

Your dad is more than welcome...My dad in the reason I put this off until this weekend...The other weekend I had picked out he was in TX for work...

Nope.

Mine is the Fast/Tiny Tach??? Not sure of the model number.

I have no idea what they turn stock but mine sounds like it turns alot more then it did, thats for sure.

I might bring my 575 and throw the tach on it as its the only one that I have with a limited coil and I have never messed with it.

 

[wendell]

Thanks, guys!

Has anybody else noticed that outdoorlivin and Arrowhead look alike?

That is a hard thread to jump into the middle of.

 

[outdoorlivin247]

Here is what I am planning for food...I have some ribs, chicken wings and legs, deer brats, some hamburgers and hotdogs...For sides I have sweet corn, potato salad, slaw...Not sure what else will show up, but that is a start...Like said earlier I am going to do some biscuits and gravy for the early risers so I can hold lunch off until around 1:00 central time...

You are more that welcome to bring things to add to the list just don't go over board b/c I hate wasting things...

 

[Arrowhead]

I plan on makin some jerky Friday.
