I officially booked a ticket today. I am coming!!!!! Newark, NJ to San Fran, Ca.

I am going to try to ship at least one muscle saw out there to play with.

Got your voice mail while I was at work. Great news JP! I'll save some room in my truck for your saw(s).:cheers:

I was mostly kidding. This will be the first time I have ever paid to camp, but then again I never have luxuries like showers, toilets and lots of s.creaming, wide open chainsaws all around. I am really looking forward to this vent.

Should I reserve a spot in advance or do you think I will be ok waiting until Friday? My plan is to start out after lunc which will put me there at or before 4:00.

I'd wait until after Sunday's meeting to make that decision. It all depends on how many sites Ranger Jones has set aside. If it's only a few, then I'd book one. If she has ten or more off-line, I'd guess you to do the Friday thing ... In any case, we'll find someplace to put everyone :)

The website for the park said that there was no water available to fill RV tanks. Is that still true?

I was waiting for you to clear customs. Really I'm surprised you weren't grabbed by the TSA, or by the Pietro Beretta security staff for having 'sticky fingers' during a factory tour.:jester:

I'll bring your carb and adapter to the GTG meeting tomorrow (Noon at the park office....remember?). Bring the dirty little Poulans. Feel free to bring that 48" Mac bar too...:D

Did you really just write that the folks at TSA "pulled your pork"? I've heard they have wandering hands, but that's ridiculous.

yea it was weird the guy did a cavity search and had both his hands on my shoulders :msp_ohmy:


one thing i knew and got reinforced about the TSA "agents" they have way too much authority for earning minimum wage and they need to watch a video on public perception, they can watch it just after the 45min video on how to be a TSA agent...

Well I feel like an ***** (once again)...

I'd marked down today (Saturday 10/06) as our meeting day in my calendar. Showed up for the meeting today (late)........and after waiting around by myself for an hour plus finally realized that the meeting is TOMORROW (Sunday 10/07). Bruce even said "Sunday's meeting" TWICE in his last post and I'd missed it until I went back and read his post again just now. Guess I can go home and try again tomorrow....:msp_confused:
 
atlest your able to drop off that small hunk of unobtainium:biggrin: thanks again

You're welcome Dave. Thanks for the old Poulan stuff and the bar. Hope to see you tomorrow. Bring tools, as we may be putting the knives in the chipper as well.:msp_thumbup:
 
I didn't know she had pneumonia. Stay home and take care of the Mrs....:msp_thumbup:

Check your email. I sent you some Poulan SM's.

thanks, i still need to figure out how install the starter rope without the "anchor button"
i'm gunna go hit up that guy that likes the neon green saws:cool2:

The pully has a small hole 180deg out from the 'anchor button' hole that is intended for a regular rope with a knot. On the saws that use a rope with an 'anchor pin', you can make a pin out of a small finishing nail. Hold the nail with some pliers and heat the end. Then push it through the rope about 1/8"-1/16" from the end, pinning it to the bench. After the nail and melted nylon has cooled a tad slide the rope up the nail unti it's at the head. Cut the nail about 1/16" from the rope and install the rope into the pulley through the anchor hole with the head of the nail away from the center of the pulley hub.

Untrue - we have plenty of water. We didn't used to as the spring was in bad shape. But we got that taken care of about a month ago and we are now making plenty good water :)

We generally don't make a hose bib (HB) available (we have plenty of ADA faucets around), but for any GTG participant, I can get the HB key and hook you up. Real good water. Almost the same spring water quality that they used to bottle at Calistoga Water :)

Oooppsss ... If you find yourself there with no one, call Rob on his cell. He is usually there at his residence (in the park).

Thanks for the update. I was going by the information posted on the park website.
