Iowa Fall GTG

[mweba]

Progress!

Last sneak peak.

 

[Wood Doctor]

I am still planning on pizza in the shop Friday night, should be around 6:30 or 7:00 to give everyone time to get camp set up before dark, and give me a little extra time to get the shop cleaned up proper.

If you are planning (or hoping) to come for pizza please let me know so I can be sure to have enough.

JR - If you can come down we'll let you make a run to the Kwik Star for Klondike Bars for dessert.

Just sent you a PM. I'm in for your place. Just return the PM for directions from the main road through town.

I also got permission to bring along the reconditioned 084 for Wendell's inspection. New 36" bar should be arriving today from Bailey's. I'll spend the next few days strengthening my back so that I can lift it this weekend. It's a beast (dwarfs my MS 361). opcorn:

Looks like the cutting material is in oplace. Holy Cow! Good work, host.

What are you talking about? I never did no such thing!

And I am insulted you would make such a claim.

And I just crossed someone off the 166 approved list.

Just what size skirt did you put on that thing anyways? 404? I'll make sure the 084 is wearing the same.

 

[wendell]

Yep, .404.

I'm workin on it. Wife is still not talking to me for keeping her in the the timber all day last Saturday on our Anniversary cutting firewood. She may have to pout for awhile though, have not made it to a GTG in awhile!

 

[wendell]

If she's already that mad, seems you've got nothing to lose.

 

[Husq445]

Kinda what I was gonna go with. Lol.

Been clearing a road through this timber for a landowner the last few weekends. Bringing home 3-4 cords of Hickory and Red Oak each weekend.

Gonna have to have somebody run my saws for me if I go, dont know if I will be able to lift them!

[wendell]

I'm in for friday night. If I can get out of work on time (2 pm) and with a quick stop at the home place I can be there by 7. Could you pm me your address for directions?

mweba, you still accepting resverations?

 

[WetGunPowder]

String cheese and micro brew of course!

I am putting together a cooler full of LEINES. Anybody have a favorite flavor?

 

[wendell]

I seem to recall their Creamy Dark is pretty good. I haven't tried their Oktoberfest but would like to.

You're a good man, Boyd! :msp_thumbup::msp_thumbup:

Looking like I might have a SP125 there after all. Wether the oiler is working or not is to be determined but it will be getting fuel:msp_w00t:

Games Rednecks Play

Here's a game that Work Saw Collector came up with in the AR GTG thread, and my idea for making it a little better. What do ya think?

Ok here is a game I have been giving some thought, so not only the fastest saw wins. Pick a long small log 18" or smaller, timed cuts $1.00 a cut. You can enter three saws, run what you brung any powerhead and chain and any size bar. The fastest time gets bragging rights. The pot goes to the most average saws cut time. Take all the times add them together devide by the number of saws ran, saw closest to that time wins. Be aware if Lurch2 wants to bring the average time down he can run the Wright, That and my David Bradley will off set all the fast saws. :hmm3grin2orange: What do you guys think? Someone besides me will have to do all that math. It will be the first time in life you could be rewarded for being average. :hmm3grin2orange: Not trying to offend anyone just trying to make a fun game.

My money is on Stump's boy and the 170 to take the pot.

Here's a variation I came up with when I read this:

3 saws, engine off on the ground. Make one cut with each, time is the total time from first saw picked up until the 3rd cookie drops. At least one saw is required to be a "classic"- could be a certain year cutoff, or just go with non-chainbrake models as close enough. Gonna throw this idea out to the IA gtg as well, since there's a decent chance I'll make that one, sorry Arkies, it looks fun, but I only have so much time off to go around :cry[/quote]

Off to try and tie up one little thing that's keeping me from heading south this weekend, will know for sure by tonight.

 

[Wood Doctor]

Yep, .404.

Also outfitted the 084 with .404 today and a new bar. She's a beast, Wendell. You may have to help me control her.

Edwin, now lifting weights in preparation. :biggrinbounce2:
