I took this shot to show steam escaping from the other end of the 10' section we were working on. The friction from the running saw chain generated enough heat to send it that far, right through the cellulose like a chimney.

It took a half hour to load these big tabletops onto Sid's wagon. In all, I think we cut a dozen:

Time for some recreation. Two logs were set up, one 17" dia. for bigger saws and the other 14" dia. for the small fries. Here's Cory taking his turn:

Edwin the cameraman almost won the 17" competition with his Stihl MS 361 at 6.2 seconds before being nosed out by Scott's bigger Dolmar that screamed in at 5.8 seconds. (Yeah, but he was running airplane fuel.) Good times were turned in by all. What a blast!

Then it was time for supper and campfire. Sid cooked the best venison burgers I have ever tasted and told more stories than Mark Twain:

We burned nearly half a cord of dry cottonwood (and a bunch of cookies) in that big tractor wheel rim as the temp dropped below freezing. I decided to rough it in this mansion that Scott erected for me. Forgot my air mattress, but somehow it didn't matter:

Next morning, Cory took over the cooking with a couple of dozen farm fresh eggs and bacon. Together with Sid's coffee, this brunch was spectacular:

Then Scott's wife, Carol, arrived to help Cory finish off the cooking:

His quality improved a tad after her help. This was a GTG that I will never forget. My hat's off to Carl, Cory, Sid, Scott, Bud, and Carol. How on earth can it get any better than this?

Nice pictures. Looks like everyone:cheers: had fun and that's what really counts.
 
That was impossible. See the last sentence of Part I. Threads are limited to 8 Pics and that includes post icons. SawTroll, give me a break. OK? :dizzy:

Hay man you can have all the pics in a thread you want just 8 in each post, just put 8 in then post in same thread over and over. There is 300 pics in our GTG thread almost 300 pages long.

I like GTG pics rep when it lets me. Looks like you all had a good time.

Edit: I gotcha.

I believe that is a post limit, not a thread one?

If I am wrong, a lot of threads on here would have been impossible! :)

OK, so you start a thread as the OP and add 8 Pics. Then you reply to your own post and add more Pics, etc., etc. Just keep replying to your own thread in increments of 8 and you can have all the Pics that you want. I'll have to remember fascinating technique... :monkey:

My post wasn't an attack on you - I just tried to clear up what I thought you had misunderstood for you, and you sure had! :)
 
Sorry I could'nt make it to the GTG. Down in Missouri over that week end. Me and Wood Doctor need to have a GTG here in Eastern Nebraska sometime.
