MidWest SawFest IA MO spring GTG

Not a bad idea with the red tape.

Just figured it would be an easy way for people to see what's up for grabs. Heck you could mark $$$/obo on the red tape, and it takes less time than assembling all the "for sale saws" in one area. Plus you'd have to run down the owners, and everyone likes making their own camp by their vehicle anyway.

Maybe even use the utility marking flags to really get some attention, plus they could wrap around any handlebar

Well I was just thinking a strip of red duct tape wrapped around the handle so that there wouldn't be interference if you want to "trial run" a saw...

PS: is anyone else kinda pissed that you can't "multi-quote" when traversing several pages anymore????

Seeing Dales 111s, reminded me that Longbar had one at one of the Iowa GTG's along with a bunch of other nice saws. I checked and he hasn't been around since Oct. 2013. Anyone know what happened to him?

Hopefully he didn't get linkbucked

oh I don't know about that.........

I'm not so sure about the 111 taking all the marbles either. At least not in the size wood that will be there. I'm sure the 750 can probably take it. A PP655 might also. And yes I have ran a 111.

I'm just razzing the Iowa crew, they handle it well. Don't really care if it wins or not.

I was about to boast that my 076 was going to beat your 111s, but we all know they aren't the cream of the crop in the 6 cube class. especially with 404 7pin and a carb that has yet to have the limiter blocked.

So was I.


Thanks for the offer of the Poulan oil. Should I mix it at 16-1?

I have a bunch of wire-tied tags that might work better, room for a quick description on them, bright green too. If they'll work, I'll bring em.

On the PS - the only way I've found so far is to quote the ones you want on the first page you're on, highlight and cut from the reply box, go to the next page and repeat. It works, but it's a pain. I'll put up a post in Support and see if they can't come up with something better.

Boast away, I can handle it. in all honesty who knows what'll win, I know I'll enjoy watching.

That's the fun of the 3-cut race. You never know who will slide out the end of the log. Seems like operator capability has a lot to do with the times.

Maybe this GTG will force me to finish this project.

my question is how do you chance the script under your user name under your avatar??? I see some have changed theirs and have been trying to figure it out...

There were some guys last year that stayed over into Sunday and they helped pick up cookies-----much appreciated!!!!!
No way on the tub grinder for the cookies as they work great in the wood boiler, we could use some mulch, but save most of them to burn.
And yes , we will have a fire ring going to keep warm and of course for ambience.

You make this sound so romantic Ron... Then again I'm sure I've seen pics of Andy in bed with a chainsaw...
