.....................Yeah I hear you. Yes I keep thinking about it, that is haveing one. If I ever get off this overtime to get it together. I may call you over to give me a hand in setting it up. Might be a winter one, we can always warm up in the shop if we need to.
....

Mark,

I would love to see you put on a winter one. That would be a neat change. On second thought Ya know there is something about things in three's. We have met up at two GTG's and the weather has been great. The third time the weather might be a SOB. Awe heck do it anyway at least we can go in the shop and have some High Life if it is 27 below outside.

I wish I knew this was a Whitehead. It caught my eye in Bills large pile of saws. My father recently told me that's what he used to run... way back in his logging days. He said it would out cut the Homelites the other guys were using. I'd love to know the model he used. This saw of Bills was freaking LOUD.

That is a Whitehead Logger 120 with a West Bend 820 engine in it, She is one loud old girl. She kept sucking air bubbles in the fuel line Saturday. After I got unloaded at 2AM I pulled the fuel lines and replaced them again. I hope that cures the bubbles but I cannot test it now as I just got home from a saw race and it is after 3AM. Come up to Baraboo in a few weeks and you can run it. If she still has issues I will bring its twin sister

Come up to Baraboo in a few weeks and you can run it.

I hope that offer extends to others!

Like said earlier, thanks for the great weekend...Back at work to hopefully get rested up......

Would also like to thank my parents for the use of their lot and all their help, my brother and Sooner for slaving over the grills and fire...And last but not least my loving wife for being patient w/ me the last 2 months getting this thing together...

What A Great GTG!!!

opcorn:Just spent the better part of the morning viewing the videos and pictures! What a terrific GTG! Beautiful location, super wood, classic saws, and a neat collection of chainsaw enthusiast ("Saw Geeks"?). Really liked the Wildthing coverage. The idea of having those race was an inspiration! Up to this point I have been the only one running a Wildthing here in the pacific northwest but now thats going to change and for the better! You guys have driven up the value on these things!
Thanks for sharing the pictures & videos......Sorta makes me want to head EAST!..............Bob

Yes!! Please thank your family and Sooner for the absolutely incredible time. I did not see Sooner when I left to personally thank him. My wedding was not as elaborate as what you guys did..... nor as fun either! :hmm3grin2orange:


The next one you have I will reserve the entire weekend off. The only way it could have been better for me would have been to be able to sit around the fire and have a few beers and listen to Mike on the guitar. I will be bringing a tent next time. Plus I would feel better being there to help clean up the next day. Thanks Again Sean!!!

Clean up wasn't that bad...All the cookies and the big log root swell went acroos the street to the neighbors for camp fire wood...The rest of the big log got flipped w/ the skidder and chunked up w/ the Fiskars...We had everything pretty much done by 2 and didn't really get started until 11...

He was using his 35mm camera...I told him to get the disk when he sent off the film and I would pay for it...

 

[Bigrod]

Thanks again Sean it was great. Looks like there will be one not to far away in the Hoosier state. Hope most can make it to that one also. Picked up a 372xp this week.

Kidding.... she's a good woman, put up with me for 20 years now.

Looks like you guys had a great time. Sadly I couldn't make as the better half has me started on a bathroom remodel before deer season. All the pics have me itching to host a GTG. Maybe fall. It'd be nice to do a West IL-IA- MO-WI GTG. Maybe early winter
