Iowa Spring GTG

[xrayman]

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it down tomorrow, just gotta call on a tree job they want done first thing in the AM and might have to go do some welding in the afternoon. Might make a road trip for a beer if i get the welding done early.

Crap that means I need to somehow fit it in the truck!!!

It can ride botch.



Does anyone that will be in attendance have a new 66+ drive .325 full ch .050 loop I can pry away? I can't locate mine and want to get a fair comparison of the 261,5100s and 346.

I'll have an extra used one with.

No internet access for homelite 410 at home. So I'm posting for him. We have 13 cutting stations set up with more logs if needed. Coffee and donuts will be ready around 7:00am. Don't let a little rain scare you away!

Looking forward to tomorrow!

[struggle]

Gosh I am only bringing three running saws:msp_scared:

You guys going to share:hmm3grin2orange:

I am leaving at 3AM to get to this:msp_scared:

Hope I can stay awake.

Oh and I am also bringing the in the box SP125 in case there is a rain delay and enough parts show up it can maybe go back together:bang: need oil tank gaskets and pump gaskets........

 

[heimannm]

If I remember correctly, I have two SP125's, Super 797, 1-85, 1-72, BP-1, an old Mono for Ray, and my PM700 truck saw.

I may try to send a few home with Mitch so I don't have to carry them all to Cincinnati and back again.

See everyone in the morning, and I will have an ample supply of soft drinks for everyone...

I don't know exactly when I'm going to get there, but I'm bringing just 3 saws with. I've been working on an chicken coop that I'm making into a cabin on the river. I'm bringing some ham sandwich fixings and 25 of the best cinnamon rolls that you ever tasted. While working on the cabin I found a great old Homelite tin sign that had been used to keep the back wall from falling out. It was cut in two and then some, but the picture of the saw is still intact and in pretty good shape. I will bring it if we have a fall GTG. See you when I get there. JR

 

[WetGunPowder]

Word has it WetGunPowder and the Dolmar goodie man are sending a few things down, just not sure how much will make it all the way there.

GPt was given 24 T-shirts and 18 caps. Make sure Jon did not lift any of them!!!! I think Heavy's family all ready have a new wardrobe-seems they all got something at the open house!!!

Have Fun today

Be Safe

Take and post lots of pics!!!

Weather is good. See you all in a few!

 

[jra1100]

We had a great time. Weather was passable and the people were as always great. Mike did a great job of preparation along with some neighbors. Many pictures were taken and others will be posting soon I'm sure. JR

 

[mweba]

As always, some of the best people hang on this site. We had a great time. Mike and Ron did an excellent job of set up. Kudos.

Pics and vid are loading.
