Nice pics Philbert. I wanted to say thanks again for everyone coming. We had a good time and met some more great people. These GTG's are fun, anyone that hasn't been to one needs to go.

They are actually educational, despite all the fun. I learn something at every one.

Thanks again Andy.

Buckaroos!

STIHL Bucking After All These Years!

You buck your way and I'll buck mine . . .

Bucking the log at both ends (Notice one guy has a STIHL hat and Dolmar saw; the other guy has a camo hat, and his saw is hidden!)

Pipe busting buck. (yeah, 'we' managed to bust a pipe and knock all the teeth off of a race chain on some of that red oak!)

Thanks, I couldn't figure it out. That would be cool to line the whole thing.
Looks like you guys/gals had a blast.

Cool pic.... almost looks like the chips are coming out of the pipe.

Square filing takes practice.

You call that a 'Muffler Mod'?

Yup, my P-60, GrizzlyAdams86 on the throttle, 8433Jeff to the left and me on the right.

Phil's first people pic is me with the P-60 talking to Flyboy553.

The 60 ran OK, the chain on it's gotta go. Would have switched to the 3/8" bar, but was too busy BSing all day. Ed, any chance of you heading west to IA in a couple weeks?
