You guys are gonna host so you got to pick the date. Let me know if there is anything I can bring or do to help. I can come early to help set up or just bring a big box of doughnuts, whatever you need. I also have a ported 357 I will bring for fun, but I doubt that will be much of a 346 comparison. I am actually looking forward to the small saws the most.

My soccer coaching season starts soon so I can't commit 100 percent until they post dates. But tentatively does 3/18 or 3/19 work?

 

[JimMorrison]

Yes, that should work for me. April is way busy.

Not sure just yet how I feel about that. I like the idea of selling them through real dealers.

Have we gotten any closer to nailing down the date, for the small saw comparison? If March 18-19 doesn't work, the next weekend that works for me is April 15-16. Could do a one day on April first.

Looks like they are being treated like Poulan by the corporate parent. They are already sold thru TSC. This let's Menard's compete a bit more with stores like Lowes. I don't expect to see the pro models there, but it still stinks for long time Jonsered dealers.

I need to get my two soccer schedules together and see what's open. Will try to nail that down soon!

Was in Menard's in Red Wing today, only J-red they had was a string trimmer.

EAB is now officially in Goodhue County, just across the river in MN from me.

It's interesting that eab kind of leapfrogged from the southern part of the state up to Superior WI and now is backfilling.

Was wondering that too. We are still hoping to do a small saw shootout in late march and don't want to steal his thunder if he's planning one as well.

I'm guessing this weekend is out and now have a different commitment. Hope to still do it sometime later.

Svk it's not quite a M10 TD, but close, a M36B1 Jackson TD. Got a few more projects to get done then maybe I can finally get an M10 kit.

Awesome!

Ironically, I was looking through my uncle's box of items I have including his purple heart earlier tonight. I hadn't looked at that stuff in nearly a year.
