[workshop]

I'm glad you'll be there at 7. I hate to miss that cool morning cuttin' time. I'll be there with my two boys as well. They're still young (8 and 11) and will probably be in the way more than anything, but I think it's important for them to experience the reality of "practicing what you preach" when it comes to helping others.

I'll have a truck load of old, junky, partially dis-assembled, mostly non-running, dirty, smelly "vintage" saws if you know anyone who might want something like that. And I do mean a TRUCK LOAD.

Also bringing a "door prize" saw and some give away stuff to make it a bit more fun for those who are afflicted with CAD.

I'll have my flat bed truck with 30" tall side rails there. Will that be big enough? Or do I need to get one of those things they use in strip mines? :hmm3grin2orange:

How many you figure we need??

He "can't" decide.

So did we write in the middle of me want to build my deck. Instead of a dust bowl around the house its a soup bowl now.

1 1/4" of rain here early last evening. Well past the 'frog strangler' level.

But, no trees fell down.......................................................darn.

Had torrential rain and wind last night but the tent stayed dry. Visibility about 100 ft all day on top of the mountain. The weather is supposed to improve from this point though.

Hope the charity cut goes well for you guys.

 

[Lurch2]

All loaded up and ready to go. Just gotta get some nonE gas on the way.

Kenneth I think we are being punished for not being there. We know Matt and Stephen can post off their phones.
Carl posted some pics of two of my sandcasts over in the poulan thread.

I asked Workshop to take some pics and he was trying to get a few between cuts. I took a couple but got sidetracked on cutting myself.

Here's one of Hinerman running an MS 260.

Lurch2 was there, Cobey, Workshop, Hinerman, as well as a few others I can't remember at the moment. The AS guys were dropping and bucking up stuff left and right while the non-sawing volunteers stacked brush, split rounds and delivered the wood. The boys in the last picture I posted actually did quite a bit of work. They had a cart they were filling with rounds and delivering to the splitters.

My boys and I left early when my shoulder started acting up. I hated to leave the good company but I was anxious to get home to an ice pack.

All of the AS guys were welcomed and treated well by the volunteers. They were grateful to have that many saws and operators. They even provided us with a nice chili lunch!

Here ya go Jim..

I picked up a BRAND NEW pole saw today, so that someone can trim the branches so as to not scratch MO Jims rig. And Sam's.

I tried it out on , never mind, it would get me in trouble. (It wasn't safe.....)

Tarry on.
