Hiya Bob. I'll check my Super 2-10 parts saw. I think it has a good clutch. If it does, I'll pull the clutch and bring it to swap with you.
That STINKS. First Jon had to bow out, then JP got stuck on the east coast, and now you're hung up. We'll be thinking about you three, and hoping you all can make it out next year. I'll be sure to tip a few and smoke a good cigar in your honor.
Will also run a heavy, loud, angry old RH start 103cc Mac while making derisive comments about plastic furrin saws. Nobody will be able to hear me over the Mac however. Unfortunately I won't have you there to help me convince Bob to make a cut or two with my 740 McWelder saw. ..
My Lt scheduled me for AO training on friday, but I got that rescheduled. I HATE going to CPR updates. Through various jobs, I've had CPR and first responder first aid classes every year since 1989 or so...
Is the weather going to cooperate?

They are showing high 70's for the weekend.
Excellent!
Things are going south around here...
I just found out I have to travel to the east coast next Monday for work and when I woke up this morning I felt pretty bad. Hot, tired and a headache. I'm heading home to get some soup, some sleep and some Tylenol.
I'm coming up to the GTG. I should be there tomorrow in the late afternoon. We are leaving Santa Cruz at about 1 and I have to make a stop to pick up a couple of saws. I'm going to head back Sunday morning early if my 4 year old does well sleeping in the bed of the truck. We want to make second serve at our church. Remember we gain an hour Saturday night.
I'm not running any saws this weekend because I want to keep an eye on the boy. I'm bringing the two I'm picking up tomorrow plus my Homelite C-5. Can I get a volunteer to run the C-52 to let me know if I have the carb set right? Also I want to go through the other two to see what they need. Eccentric, if you would like to sell parts off your 2-10 would you mind bringing the whole parts saw? I haven't seen the one I'm picking up tomorrow yet and it may need more than a clutch. Thanks for offering to bring the clutch. I hope this one is a runner.

I can bring the parts S 2-10A Bob. You have a good spare clutch cover for a C-5/51/52 Homelite? I could use one. How about a starter cover for a LH start large frame Mac?
I'd be happy to help you tune your Homelite. I can also watch your boy for a few minutes while you do some cuts. I've got a 4 year old and an 11 year old, so I'm qualified...
Bob, I'll have my wife with me and she said she'd watch your boy if you want to cut.
Bad news, y'all. I got clobbered with a double-whammy of car troubles today. The Subaru was already in the shop (I was hoping to drive it down this weekend because it's got cruise control) but it turns out it's worse than expected -- head gaskets are a pretty big deal because you can't clear the fenderwells with a flat-4 configuration, which means pulling the engine. Dizzamn. Then I busted a U-joint in the truck today. Got it repaired (sort of -- had to grind the yoke to make the cup fit -- will probably end up replacing it) only to find out that the U-joint vibration was covering up vibration from a wiped wheel bearing. I briefly considered renting a car and going anyway, but then it occurred to me that the cost of car rental would be better spent on repairing the ones I actually own. If I really skedaddle, I can probably have everything fixed by close of business Friday -- just in time to be too late to reasonably able to attend the festivities.
So. Looks like I'm wrenching on 4-stroke machines this weekend instead of 2-stroke ones. I'm pretty annoyed by this turn of events.

Bummer Nate. I weaseled out of CPR training, but got tagged to discuss Gov. Sunshine's realignment scam.
That's too bad, Nate. See you at the next one. There's talk of another GTG at LaPine next year.
Still half-tempted to rent a car, even though it's a dumb idea. GTG's are always a hoot. Yeah, I'll see everybody next time.

You know that a rental car is the best thing for a straight through, non stop, road warrior California turn, don't you? Not to mention curb jumping and boonie crashing.

Dammit that sucks Nate. I know exactly how you feel, as my diesel roached a piston on the way to pick up RandyMac for the 2010 PNW GTG at Bob & Liz's place.....:bang:
Crap. Almost made it out...

Can't say that I'd recommend that course of action...........but it'd sure be fun (and we'd be glad to see you). Let your conscience and your budget be your guides....

This is no time to be practical and mature!
Well, United Airlines ponied up and gave me a refund on my ticket with their "storm relief" policy. My two saws are in Aaron's hands and ready to go. You all have fun, and run 'em like you stole 'em.
Really too bad it worked out this way. Damn mother nature.......

Well that's a relief anyways. I hated to see you out of that much $$$ and not even able to come out here. Kudos to United. Your saws are next to my bench, scaring the #### out of all my 'lesser saws' (except for the tired old 900D that's sleeping under the bench). I'll enjoy running 'em, and hope to get Bob to make a few cuts (at least) with both. Thanks again my friend.
