Were any of the winners present?

 

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

nice work brad!

 

[blsnelling]

I'm sure some others would have benefited from some further tuning tweaks etc with one running particularly rich and another getting snagged by the dawgs.

The winning times are just that.

Several of us did. Matter of fact, I requested that the 36 second time not be posted. It was not at all representative of the saw. Stumpy was not there to tune it. I retuned it and cut a 28 with it.

Mission Backpack Wrapup

Thanks to all for your support!

I want to give a special thanks to Terry, Brad, Nik, Andre and WorkSawCollector. Big thanks to the Johnson's for letting this take place on their site.

After PayPal fees, $2882 was collected. I rounded this off to $3000 and made the official donation yesterday. In talking with the program director yesterday, I want to report this:

Mission Backpack started with 25 children receiving weekend food donations and is now up to 42 children. The increase is caused by several homeless families that now have children attending the school. Another family just lost their 32 year old dad to a heart attack and of course, their financial abilities are now limited.

Folks, there's so much hurting in this world right now and I believe it's very proper to focus on children. Children don't bring financial hardship upon themselves. A chance to get a good school education is so important. And, having proper food makes a big difference in their ability to take advantage of educational opportunities. No, we can't fix all the world's problems, but if we can all help one or two, we can make a huge difference. Let me assure you that you have made a difference.

Peace,

joat
