Had some good driving weather yesterday afternoon, total whiteout. School gave me the last two days off. Spent today helping others with snow/automotive issues and bringing in the rest of the hedge (thanks Kenneth!). House is nice and warm, and the furnace is idle.

Sposed to get a bit brisk tonight, I think I'll plug in the car. Garage is full of bikes, so can't park in there.

Glad to hear you're makin' it well John.For those that haven't seen John's latest bike,I happen to have documentation right here.........:hmm3grin2orange:

I am between Lawrence and KC so it is a little bit of a drive for you unless you are already comming up this way. I get down to your part of the state a couple times a year. We sell food at the Walnut Valley Festiaval in Winfield and at the Mulvane Old Settlers. I usualy have an evening free after we are done setting up. It wood be a good time to come run some saws. I have never tried an 066

Well you're more than welcome to! I'll save back a couple of Hedge and Black Oak trunks for us to play with whenever you're available. I wouldn't want to use the 066/MS660 all-day every day, but it's darn nice in 25"+ hardwood. I'll even have a beer or two on hand (or maybe some single malt scotch) for after the sawing is done!

I have never tried an 066

My 660 was at the KS GTG, you should have gave it a run. It will be at the next gtg just grab it up. Jason, Les, Hal, (might be a few more) all have them as well.

Edit: John E has the fastest one, in our down south GTGs. Hal has his worked on so well do some racing to see the difference.

How is ol John E?

Yesterday, I went to hook up to my trailer, and the ball was 6 inches above the hitch, due to the snow. Then the jack was frozen to the ground.

For those of you who avoided it, it could have been colder out. But not much and still worked.



I was pushing snow at the schools, and there were motorcycle tracks! (Just like I used to do when I was 15 and stupid, as opposed to today.)

How is ol John E?

I haven't seen him around this thread. I did send him a PM about this GTG a while back. I hope he can make it.

That sounds like 8 something under.

I almost stopped at Petes Place in LR. last week. But I was in a hurry, and didn't have any money. By the time I came back, he was closed.

I was asked by some South Arkansas Loggers, (LA) why he didn't have Husky?

Seems alot of husky dealers have gone out of business.

Well, Pete?

 

[Lurch2]

No ice here. 16 inches of snow. Don't have to work until Fri. -5 this morning.

I plan on having the my little collection of saws there. The Homelite and MAC I have not even seen yet.

Put a 7 pin rim on the 066, just to see what it would do to the cutting power. Haven't been able to run it a lot since the work Brad did on it.

Them 7 pins will really torque them up while sacrificing a little chain speed.I have an 8 pin on my 064 that has it cutting great at 20" but doggy as hell at 30".......

 

[Echo Kid]

hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[RVALUE]

Hello Echo, Got all your tools in shape?

 

[Echo Kid]

whep got most of all cleaned up and new chains my dad and brother and uncle are ready countin down the days

 

[atvguns]

Howdy Echo don't tell me you are ready for the GTG arleady

 

[Echo Kid]

yep cant wait

 

[Locust Cutter]

Now I'm hoping I can get back in time to make it out there. Speaking of chains, I think I am gong to pick up one of the Granberg filing vises from Bailey's online. It looks pretty slick and I know I'm not always great at having a straight, no-wobble file pattern. If it works half as well as it says, my saws ought to cut better than EVER!

 

[atvguns]

yep cant wait

I can't wait either but it is still almost 2 months away
