Another reason I wish I could have made it! According to the report I got from Cobey on the phone last night they were living up to their name. He said he ran some "wicked" fast saws!

We were workin too hard to take pictures. Besides, nobody did anything really stupid that we had to have proof of. :msp_scared:
For anybody undecided on these things it's worth the trip.

You're being too kind. I talked a lot more than I worked, and doesn't "really stupid" include handing a truckload of saws back to the original owner and not even asking what I was getting in the trade?

As far as it being worth the trip - definitely. My two boys were sore this morning but had big, satisfied grins on their faces 'cause they knew they did a good thing. I wasn't sure my right arm was even going to move when I first woke up. Even with the soreness and pain I was glad to visit with some of the folks from AS and do something good in the process.

It was the best Saturday I've had in a long time.

Looks like you all had a fun and productive day. Work can be fun. Wish I could have made it. :msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

It wasn't ALL fun. I was going to cut a little with my Husky 365 until Lurch2 handed me his Johnny Red 2171.

After I made one cut with the Johnny I put my Husky back up so as not to embarrass myself. :msp_mad:

It ain't a 365. That's for sure. :bang:

My son, Samuel (9), was telling me it was one of the best days ever and asked if we could come back and do it again. That was before they gave away the prizes. My name was drawn for the grand prize,,,a new "Earthquake". I told Sam he just won his first saw. He was on cloud nine. Thank you Diggersdad He couldn't wait to call home and tell his mother. Anyhow, we had a great time serving others in the company of other "top shelf" servants. I wish we could do things like this more often. Thanks again to everyone involved...

Here is Sam showing off his bad boy saw.

Now that is a fine picture! Congrats to you and Samuel! I know Digger and Max had a good time working alongside Samuel. I even heard several reports they did quite a bit of work.

As far as the little Earthquake, with a muffler mod and some tuning they are quite a bit of fun.

Good thing I wasn't there with my Stumpbroke 372... :biggrinbounce2:

It ain't a 365. That's for sure. :bang:

I bet with a few quick mods it could be. Send it to Terry and it could be a lot more! I haven't had the pleasure of running a "Wicked" saw yet, but having my Stumpbroke, and having ran both Snellerized and Masterminded saws, there is nothing like running a power tool that has had it's useful potential realized courtesy of someone who knows what they're doing!

It was quite a thing to see the surprise and joy in Sam's eyes. Something I will always remember. Now, get to it Sam.

I even got a hug from Diggersdad's boys, too. Made my day.
Looks like next Charity Cut will be November 16th.
Mark your calendars . Lots of work and more fun to come yet.

Just be glad you didn't run the 562...
Or I'd feel responsible for you spending a ton of money...

I'm in. I've already marked my calendar.

Maybe by then I'll have my shoulder straightened out.

:msp_sneaky:

No worries. :cool2:

I don't have any money to spend. :bang:

I should mention here that we could hear the 562 "spool up" all the way across the little hollow. Sounded like a small Lear jet with an attitude.

No we're not cutting from the tractor bucket, just used it to get up high enough to tie in ropes.

Somebody needs to show you guys how to throw a rope into a tree. Seriously, what do you do when there isn't a loader to help out?
