Pacific Northwest GTG

[Turbocaster]

The GTG was a tremendous success. I had a ton of fun, even though I only made it to the second day. Hopefully next year I will be able to show up both days.

Bob, I was so excited about the saw that I bought today that I went straight to my tree farm and gave it a good workout. It performed flawlessly, just as I expected.

Thanks to everyone who attended the GTG, especially to the hosts. I'm definitely looking forward to next year.

I have no pictures, but we started the next generation of Girly Saw Users.
The Granddaughter of Liz and Bob is hooked on running saws, so she was initiated into the Sisterhood Of The Girly Saws With Stickers.

She understands the secret concept and will carry on with our tradition.

A billion thanks to Bob and family! You guys are the best!

As for the rest of the yokels who showed up... you guys are the best, too! What an awesome weekend!

 

["T" n "Me"]

Sure was nice to meet everyone this weekend. I have posted some photos on the facebook site.... pacific northwest gtg ...... Before we left this afternoon, my mom was planning the next GTG .... Stephanie had already put a pink magic wand sticker on HER Wild Thing saw...... (hey, she knows a choice saw when she sees it, huh?)..... Jason threw and stuck the tomahawk in the target and made a short movie about his experience.... He has now requested a target of his own to practice with at home.... (though, he may have to fight Mom & Rhett for some time on it!) So the whole family had a great time and we look forward to seeing you all again when the GTG is McKenzie River style

[RandyMac]

Bob, I gotta thank you again for letting me run soo many of your chainsaws, the Solo is a prize, the Poulan suprised me as well as the little Huskies

Todd from TruSouth Oil provided some premix, tests are under way.

 

[Farley9n]

Hey Randy.....

Thanks for the kind words. You are welcome to come anytime and test my saws. Every one survived the week end with the possible exception of the BB 372xp. I think a post mortom will show heat pinned rings. Easily fixed.
I think the Wildthing got worked the hardest and it's still going good. I just used it to make one of those PNW Candles. I,ll light it after dark tonight.
If you need any more pictures of your "Happy Logger" outfit I want you to know that mrbigsaw wasn't the only one with a camera.

This is a nice one of you Trin and teatersroad but there are more!..........B&L
