Want to watch me make a stool? Come to the Grantsburg, Wisconsin fair this Saturday and check out the races. I usually make a stool at the fair. I made an enormous stool at the Chisago county fair this year, everyone wanted to sit in it. It was very wet and smelly and when people sat on it they got wet and smelly. Fresh cut cottonwood, phooey!!!
 
Got the 460 big bore kit today.
Saw is back together and running!
Did a few warm up pulls cutting the thick humid air and tucked it into bed for the night, grabbed a beer and am enjoying the Midwest humidity from my air conditioned living room riding the easy chair around.[emoji123]

TURBS

"SABRE OWNERS UNITED"
 
I suppose I should post some results, shouldn't I?
Stock classes first:
Under 46cc: Dan Roberts with Duane's 420 dolmar
46-55: Kevin (kddeerpark) with my next saw, the Husky 550xp (he said I could have it)
56-65: Chris (pele55) with jonsered 2260
66-75: Kevin (kddeerpark) with his jonsered 2171 (Kevin was on fire today)!)
76-86: Damon with his 8400 dolmar.
Over 86: Andy (andydodgegeek) - husky 2101
Andy the modifieds:
46-55: sarah (sarahdodgegeek) - treemonkeyed stihl 026 (woo hoo!)
56-65: derrick (derrick Johnson) with his jonsered 2165
66-75: Andy (andydodgegeek) - treemonkeyed stihl 440
76-86: Jd (grandpatractor) 7900 dolmar piped saw
Over 86: Adam (dale) (jonsered racket) (dragon) - jonsered 930
In the vintage class, Damon took the zip class and Kevin took the rest with his stihl 038

Although hedgerow, you were missed, it did give the rest of us a chance to win some races!
We had a couple locals participating which was cool, (Austin and Shane) and a few other folks not listed above who came, sawed like mad, won some and lost some. Thanks to all those above, plus the whole Roberts clan, moody, Old guy (Jon), Doug (don't know your handle, sorry!) And heavyfuel (Jon)
Was also good to see Denny and Barb! Sure would be great to have this crew and more when we go to interfaith to cut on Sept 13! :cool:

I'm seeing a slight correlation to Husky/Jon and Dolmar dominance of stock classes.

The end.

Went to the MN state fair for the first time in 10 years on Friday. Up on Machinery Hill I found 1 familar sign in with all the lawn mower signs.

Had saws from the MS 170/171 through the 660. And a GS 461 Rock Boss concreate saw. Wonder if that fuel tank would fit on my 046/460 mutt saw...

Also looked at the Old Iron display. Tractors, hit-n-miss engines and this old boy, a Kinnard-Haines Co. "Flour City" 40-70. Weight of 22,000 lbs. if I remember corectly.

Wandered over later to the channel 11 barn for the 6 pm news. Was toward the back of the crowd watching the news when the next thing I know this happened: (I'm the one wearing the hat)

During one of the commerical brakes Randy Shaver came back with a helper and asked if I wanted to be on tv for a segment at the end of the news on a stand at the fair doing free facial hair trimming. Told him ok then quick called a friend to watch and dvr it. All I did was stand up in front of the crowd for a few mintues on tv with the other 3 guys while they talked about the stand. Never did find the stand doing the free trimming. Got my picture with a few other news people too. Not too bad for the first time back in 10 years.

For all you bacon fans out there, "Pud" the 800 lb. pig at the state fair. Wonder how much bacon you'd get from him...
I'd wager not much bacon on him. Lots of lard though. He's probably not interested in either of those scenarios.
