Yep, hear that loud and clear. I like to race nitro off road rc buggies. The track, although dirt off road, requires considerable upkeep. Its the only one in Wichita KS, and there's only 2 regulars that can be counted on for volunteer work.
I've never been to a gtg so I don't know what is expected as far as logs and such. I'm not a racer so even if I organized a gtg, I wouldn't know what to prepare. I'd help with one though if I knew when and where ahead of time.
Not really, just moved to greener grass.
Cobey is in charge of the lights and I help out.

How ya doin old buddy. Action is at the other place.
Dude! Been a while. Glad to see you on line. What sunfish said
If'n there was a GTG at my place, there wouldn't even be room on the lawn to park all the saws, much less all the lawn chairs. Y'all would have to walk a couple hundred yards just to get all the trucks parked on the street.
I only went to one event anyway. Had a good time, but i'm not much of a chainsaw racer. I'm a chainsaw user, and not so much for fun, but to make a living. I really liked the company, though.
I don't recall that you were there? GTG down in Arkansas?
Yeah it was in jasper at dans place. You did a topping demo and lost part of your gear in thr fallen limbs. I found it
Chainsaw users fit right in on charity cuts.[emoji106]
Us geezers not so much.[emoji6]

As I recall, it wasn't exactly lost; I just cut it down with the top. it was just a matter of coming up with the pieces.
We don't usually call that topping when it is taken down to the last foot above ground. Dan's was worried about that tree falling and squishing his shed. His equipment couldn't get him high enough, and he apparently wasn't able to find anybody else to climb it and cut off the top. So...we called it a demonstration, invited everybody to watch at a polite distance, and then we had a chainsaw party cutting it up after it got to the ground.
I was really impressed by my two assistants. Hedge & Freehand were like a forestry clearing machine going up that steep hill. I had a hard time crawling up that hill, and they were swinging saws and marching right on up. We lost a lot of time getting set up; I was rather concerned that there wasn't any hope of having a rescue crew within a couple of hours, so I spent time setting a rope that would allow my helpers to get me out of the tree if I screwed up in some way.
