For The Better Weather

I have cleaned up the Shade Hole.

We spent a lot of time in there last year!

Nate....Thanks for your comments on a couple of my Husky's. I have more than that one for you to test!..............Bob

When you get here Friday this 257 should make you rethink these old Husky Dogs.......:msp_wink:......Bob

For some reason, I'm thinking that '257' isn't exactly stock.:hmm3grin2orange:

I'm looking forward to testing those buzzing orange beasts of yours (and the Solo, and....). Got my McCulloch 550 running great yesterday. Squared away the Tilly HL swap. No more cranky MacFlatBack! It's hungry for some of that big wood you have there.

Off to wrap up the HL swap on the 650 McCulloch gear drive and get it (and Randy's McCulloch 790) cleaned up this morning. Been getting a taste of the PNW these last few days. Nasty rain since Friday night. THIS is June in Ca???? Crikey...:msp_ohmy:

Quite welcome, and AWW YEAH.

Bob and family and friends, I spent all day yesterday at the hospital, my mom fell and broke her hip and wrist, both are right side injuries. Very bad complication. We got her transported to portland from up on the penninsula, for better care. The doctors were booked out all day, in the O.R., on sunday, so they will operate today sometime.
The old yellow gear drives will have to wait around another year, for a PNW work out. :msp_sad:

Wishing The Best For Your Mom!

There will be other times to share this CAD stuff. We will miss you and your part of the yellow tide!.....Bob, LIz, "T" & Shannon

Take lots of pics, and maybe a couple of video clips. For us that can't make it. Thanks, DS.

I think I may make the trip out for Saturday seeing as how it's just up river from me. How far up is it? Blue River area?

Sorry to hear about your mom. We'll pray she heals up quickly and complely. We'll miss you and your Macs, but family must come first. We'll shoot some pics and make some McNoise in your stead.

Took 3 Saws

Over to Phil's Saw Shop today. The 257, the 394, and a Poulan Pro 330. All Stock..........:msp_wink: looking! Another great time! Phil was kind enough to grind the 394 chain for me ( watch out Kevin ) and let me run a 257 of his! Also stock! ...
Starting tomorrow, play time is over. Final grooming of the "Fair Grounds", selection and tuning of the saws, and a tiny bit more shop cleaning.
Don't hesitate to PM me if you need any details about what to bring, how to get here, parking, camping and so forth!........Bob

Wonder if it's still good? One way to find out!..........Bob

 

[Eccentric]

Looks like it's still sealed. Should be fine Bob. I certainly won't turn my nose up at anything cooked with it.


Looks like I'll be needing a K10-WB carb kit. Bringing a Homelite 750 out of deep sleep for a buddy. Anybody that's attending the GTG have a K10-WB kit they could bring? I have K10-SDC and RK-23HS kits to trade, as well as a few bits of green paper. I'll order a kit after the GTG if nobody brings one. I may have the 750 with me at the GTG so I can pick some brains about it.


edit:

Also going to need an air filter cover nut for that saw as well as some screws and bits for the McCulloch SP81 he's trading me for getting his Dad's Homelite 750 running (assuming not too much is needed for the 750). Oughta be fun...

 

[teatersroad]

still on, just gonna dash over for a few hours saturday though. too much to tend to at home (one more GSP puppy needs a home). might be sans saws, I do have a jred 920 that would be nice to get out but it hasn't run enough to be dialed in, and may need seals. have an 820 in a box (just needs clutch cover) and some other swap/give away parts (a new homie 30" hardnose with a big red homie stencil fit for a shelf queen or abuse). I'll see if our little saw shop has that carb kit, very well might.

Hey Eric

Be nice seeing you no matter how short your leash. ( bring the pup! After all it is a swap meet too! )

Just a few notes:
Out houses came today
Cedar Flats gas station sells premium without ethenol
still lots of room for camping
we have at least four ways of BBQing all ready to go
there will be at least coffee for Saturday & Sunday am
don't forget to sign in for your protection and ours - sign in also determins drawing order for the prizes
last but not least, we have been donated a monster first aid kit! Lets hope it remains unopened!.......Bob

Wait till you taste mine

Wait till you taste mine

Better be hot!!!!:msp_w00t:

Good on the BBQs, I have a 9 pound pork loin.

I will have to wait until tonite for final clearance, the Dept is in chaos. I might just do it anyway.:jester:

Cool able to post again, hasn't been so since Sunday afternoon.

They may not let you go? They approved your time off in march for crying out loud. Dammit that sucks. I really hope you can go. Wouldn't be the same without you. Also........that'll be a long drive to make by my lonesome (and I could use some help with the diesel). Will they dicipline you for going on a vacation that you scheduled three months ago? I want to see you go, but not at the expense of your job.

I just picked up the SP81. May bring it along to tinker with. May just need a carb kit and a starter rope/handle. You have a 1/4" file Randy? Gotta pick one up on the way I guess. Only local place that has one is a hardware store that wants six bucks for one file. You can get a dozen from Baileys for $12 or so...

 

[Ambull]

Yep everything is starting to go awry..... lol. It has been in the 90's here in PA and our volume at work is going through the roof. Just got word that we need to work Saturday. I need to make sure I have everything covered before I leave. If I have to forfeit my plane ticket that will really suck!!

Hopefully all will come together.

Aaron, I have spare starters and other things, more 82cc stuff is local.

We are losing staff for various reasons. They might try to discipline me, it would be a first offence for anything, heck I have only been late three times in 13 years. Besides, like last year when they said no at the last minute, I presented them with an itemized bill, the rules say I can be reimbursed for their failure to run their end of things.

I figured you'd have 82cc Mac parts. I'll probably try to bum a few starter parts and a correct starter handle from you. I could use an air filter if you have a good useable one too. The one on the saw is pretty sorry.

Sounds like you're still going. I hope so. Do you need Homelite application Tilly HL needles for that 2100S carb? I can bring a good set from a spare C5 carb. Got plenty of HL rebuild kits too...
