Mn/Wi/Ia/Up GTG

[woodyman]

Current forecast for Sat: high of 49, mostly sunny. Sounds like a good day to play!

Could not agree with you more.Sounds like it should be a super day with good people and alot of chainsaws

You guys are really killing me, first you steal the plates off my Ranger, then you give away my college dating secrets, if'n I didn't think it would end 33 years of marital bliss I'd bring a load of McCulloch saws up there and punish all of you by making you watch me start them one by one.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to stay home and see if that was an 840, 890, or 895 that showed up this week...

Jeezus, Mark - we'd still be there for the Spring GTG if we had to watch that! At least you won't miss the world premiere of the 5-49, I haven't had any time to work on it, still sitting in my buddy's garage covered in dust. The one advantage of going to work and coming home in the dark for the next two months though, is not much better to do than tinker on stuff in the basement after work. Trying to get a 261 Olympik resurrected right now, but haven't gotten the coil for it yet, hopefully it shows before the end of the week. Need to order bits and pieces for a Super2 Homey I have tore apart as well. Both sat around all summer while it was too nice to be inside.

HEY BOYD! You got any old Mac carcasses up there to bait Mark in with?

OK guys Here are the rules-You bring the saw and bar of choice and I'll provide a loop of Oregon LGX or LPX right out of the box. First go around straight out of the box then second round you can hand file and run again. What do ya think?

SO Gramps- you got the list of chains we need to bring on Sat?

 

[Philbert]

Here's the list of Steve's free chain giveaway so far, I have not checked the garage or the shed yet. . . If you can use em they're yours, I'll have a box in the back of the black Chevy with the bowtie back window guard. First come, first served, as is no warranty.

1) I'd like to piggyback on Steve NW WI's idea and clean out my, er, I mean, be generous with my stash. Maybe we can dedicate a table in the shop with "if you can use it, it's yours" stuff?

2) I have some new stuff to donate / re-gift for door prizes if we are going to have them again. Please let me know.

3) I also have several 'guaranteed-to-not-run-in-their-present-condition' / parts / project / dream saws that I would just as soon trade for gas money (or swap for something interesting) if we have a swap zone: Homelite XL101, Homelite 360; Olympik 252; Poulan 250A; Remington Sportsman II.

Note that at this price, plan on bringing a file, or talk JD into a grinder demo...

If there are any hard core filers coming who don't believe that you can grind a chain without ruining it, I may be able to do a demo on one of Steve's chain.
