There's still a good bit to dig out of there!Yeah, good wood but also a rock pile. But then, that's the way it is down here.

It was great meeting everybody there today! The wife and I had a good time today! It was fun getting to use my pair of 026s. I really liked the 20" bar on my main saw after I retuned (guess the heat caused the settings to be off?), and turned the oiler up. It was still all the way down from using the 16". Yeah, I found a rock in a big way my first tank. Sharpened her back up and moved on. I think I caught another one later, but it wasn't nearly as bad. Just part of it. Didn't see the sparks, but I'm sure I got one. How many trailers did we fill today?
Got a couple pics the wife took.

The morning really wasn't too bad, temp wise. Broke for lunch then it started heating up. Glad we had plenty of water. And the fans weren't too bad either.
The owner wasn't there, but his neighbor came by early to point out the priority areas to be done first. He first said he couldn't stay, had an auction to go to at 7:30. Next thing I knew he was coming back down saying he would like to help. Sent his wife to the auction instead. He wound up having a GREAT time with us. (But of course, best guys and gals around). Then, about mid morning, a young man showed up on a 4 wheeler. Came down to see what all the noise was about. Asked if he could help, too. I said sure. He took off and came back with a little MS170 or something, but had no gas or bar oil. No problem, set him up with a couple cases of True Fuel and some bar oil, but his poor saw just wouldn't hardly run. Matt and Steven did their best with it, but the carb was gummed up too bad. So I loaned him my SachsDolmar 111. After he ran it a few minutes he said "This is a REAL chainsaw". I just grinned and thought to myself " You haven't run some of the other stuff that's here". 
All in all, it was a good productive day, in spite of the heat. (Next time I holler Charity Cut in June , July, or August, somebody kick me.
).
Oh yeah, and I'll have a ton of pictures to post up that my daughter took. As soon as she down loads them to me.
Thanks again everyone. It was really wonderful to be back among my buddies.

Same thing on the fuel. That was very cool.

A guy that I used to work with years ago, who was from back East, told me that he figured out what all the night time noises that you hear were.
That's the sound of rocks growing.

We were talking about that on the ride back to the hotel. I think we'll see about renting a camper and go to the one in Iowa. Just gotta see if I can get the time off (and gas money, lol). I'll be a little more prepared next time. I'll get all my chains sharpened and ready to go, and get some new spouts for my fuel/oil can. I broke the oil spout off, lol. Gives me an excuse to buy the nice fuel spouts

Don't run your own at a GTG you'll learn more talking with old timers, saw collectors (not me) loggers and so on. I never seen or heard of a Dolmar when I went to my first GTG. Mike made sure I ran every Dolmar on site that day. Just ask these guys if you want to run a certain # of saw they will be happy to let and show you.
