Hey Bob did the cookies taste as good as the ones we cut in Orygun
Nope...not nearly as good as the ones you and I cut. These were a lot bigger, though.

Aaron, do you need to borrow my Etch-A-Sketch to finish your record of the GTG? Might be faster. oke:

I have a better idea Tom.
How about YOU and some friends throw together a GTG and show me how fast you can get YOUR video footage up afterwards?

I don't think I would have made it past the planning stages, you guys truly put in a ton of effort jumping through all the government hoops and it appears that it was well worth it.
On a logistical note, did having the logs laid out like that cause any issues for multiple cutters?
We made lots of fire wood rounds for the Park fire wood program
Now we'll see how the splitting crew gets on

Most of the time we only had at most two or three people cutting at a time. Usually it was one or two cutters, with the rest standing around and BS'ing.
We did place the logs too close together. Realized that after we'd placed the logs on the bunks. They'll be spaced a big farther apart next time. When we were cutting the notches in the bunk logs, things 'looked' like they were spaced far enough apart. Once we were craning the cutting logs into place..........:msp_confused:
The videos are now off of the camera and in the computer. Trying to upload them to photobucket now. Pics have uploaded, and things seem to have froze up while uploading the vids (as I'm typing here). Will try again in a sec...

I don't think anyone shot pics of us during the 'after party' bucking session. Here's the result of our labors Sunday afternoon after the GTG 'festivities' had concluded.
A 'before' pic.

Some of the 'after party' crew debriefing (LOL) after the bucking was done.
2-Dog's son Cody did this for us during the GTG. I think he was using Bill's Husky 357.
Here's my McCulloch SP-81 resting after the bucking session. Man I love this saw. Ran about two tanks through it during the 'after party'. As Gologit was checking it out during a pause in the work, I told him he'd love that saw too. Bob said, "that's what I'm afraid of"...

are you gonna have any help splitting that into firewood ?

Mister Wizard
There is a separate crew of volunteers that splits wood for firewood sales. They'll knock all that out in a few hours.
Videos keep hanging up as I upload them. They start out fine, then the upload speed runs down to zero and sits there for a long time. While I spent the last hour fixing the house furnace (high limit sensor was stuck 'open'......a tap and she's reading 'closed' again), ONE video (Bruce talking to some folks before the cutting started) uploaded. Time to go to work now (I work nights). Will get the rest uploaded eventually. Sorry for the delays folks.........

Looks great Aaron, will be there next time for sure.
Maybe we need to build an 82cc for Bob.
BTW, we mitigated the effects of realignment.

Glad to hear you'll be at next years GTG, and that you folks have dealt with gov moonbeam's buck passing. Our 'new' boss spoke to us in our muster yesterday...
I was thinking the same thing about Bob. We need to build him an SP-81 or PM850.
Bob who?

just being myself
you know, the guy who likes chainsaws...

The Bob who uses a TSC bar oil jug to carry the 100LL Avgas mix that he runs in his saws. He's mostly retired........except when he's working.
This Bob is a great guy.........................but he needs to add some McCulloch muscle to his saw stable. That has been decided, and is not open for debate.

Uh oh. I don't need "McColloch muscle"....I need "Bob muscle".
Really though, you guys keep all that old yellow iron. It will have a better home and be better taken care of with you than with me. I'll run one once in awhile at a GTG just for old time's sake but those saws should go to someone who appreciates them. You guys are keeping a part of our heritage alive and you're having fun doing it...it doesn't get much better than that.
Just the thought of packing one of those old iron monsters on rough ground all day makes my body tired. Hell, it made me tired 40 years ago.
When that 'Slingr 660 finally croaks, if it ever does, I'm gonna stick it bar tip first in the ground and make a mailbox holder out of it. Then I'll whip out my 361 and tell firewood cutting stories.
