The quietest moment of the day.

Which then got even quieter. Not sure why everyone stopped cutting right before I remembered to turn the camera on.

As I was unloading the truck this afternoon I was reminded even further of the generosity of our host Ron Hosky. Thanks again. I will make sure and put up some photo's one day when it makes it in to a permanent display.

I don't think anyone mentioned that there were 4 generations of the Hosky family in attendance yesterday, way to go Hosky family!

[wendell]

They are wonderful hosts!!!

Thanks so much for hosting another great GTG!!

 

[super3]

Many thanks to the Hosky family.

Great to meet all those from IA and some of the nort bunch. Old friends are always a pleasure to see again.

Mike and I rolled into my place around 2 am. Finally got some well needed sleep. He stayed most of the day and is on his way back to Kentucky now.

Thanks for a great day!

One good thing about the IA GTG is that if you aren't sure of somebody's name, just call them Mike or Mark and you have a 50% chance of being right.

I would also like to publicly thank Mike and the Hosky family for a great GTG. I for one apprecitated it and enjoyed myself.

I was nice seeing some friends again and meeting new members for the first time. It was a blast seeing all the saws there and getting to run some I had never run before.

Running Shauns hot rod 394 was a blast and Marks big McCulloch was a treat to run as well.

I was glad all my old junks that I brought decided to behave, start and run like they were supposed to, :msp_rolleyes:

The 71-A can be cantankerous but it at least waited for me to pull the starter rope out of its handle till I got home and started it today.

Thanks to the Hoskey family and Homelite 410 for hosting this event, again very well done, plenty of wood and eats and fun. Iowa doesn't seem like such a bad place when you guys are around.

A big thank you to the sponsors, I was lucky enough to win an 028 top end. That means I get another saw for the stable.

And a thank you to the weatherman above, as the rain and big wind forecasted must have came early, as weatherpeople are never totally wrong.

The three of us made good time in our trip home, and the youngest says shes up for another one. Now I need some wood to cut so she can get some repetitions, and maybe a saw of her own.

The shed doubled in size, and lunch was still a tight fit. Now that's an observation, not a complaint. We hope we don't outgrow the accommodations in year three, but it would be cool if that was the case.

And a thank you to the long trippers, its nice to meet you all again or for the first time. Hope to see you again soon.

A likely reason it was quiet - Wendell was taking video and not running any of his ear shattering collection. I hate to admit it, but after listening to all those saws running all day, the peace and quiet of the car on the way home was kinda nice.

I'm working on pics, but my computer is slower than a Wright blade saw today for some reason. Bear with me, I'll have some up yet tonight.

Add the name Steve and your up around 90%.

Wendell, I just want to know if you bought the 5200 yet?

Old monster Craftsman with scratcher chain vs Wright blade saw. That Craftsman was fun to run - ONCE. You've never felt vibration till you've run that thing!
