A GTG to remember

Was really planning on coming to the gtg this weekend. Was looking forward to shaking your hand and thanking you for getting my 066 together for me. Of course I do love it. The wife just got back to work and money is a bit tight so I really feel bad laying out the cash to take a trip right now. Wanted to meet all you guys in person finally, and see this 461 in action. After all really wanted to bring the family since it seems like this is going to be a big family style gtg from what wiggs' wife had said. Sorry to hijack your thread Randy, just wanted to throw this out there. Glad to see Wiggs has healed after his ordeal and can only hope 'Slinger and the others in our AS family do as well.

So tons of PICS and VIDS from this weekend please! Im sure Ill be a checking!:msp_biggrin:

Oh yeah and that 461 looks like it will Rock!

I was hoping you would be there too. I understand money being tight though. I've been there many times.

Many pics and videos will be taken......I promise.

I think one of you need to have a Go Pro strapped to your head at all times.

Thanks! Just figured in fuel, food, hotel, etc. might be a bit much to swallow. The wife was even pretty hip to going too. But we kinda stumbled into buying another vehicle. One that will actually fit all 5 of us in it fairly comfortably. I figured it would be unwise to spend the cash to come after dropping nearly a grand on the sales tax, etc. New question is... How many chunks of wood can I haul on the roof rack of a Honda Pilot? LOL.

I read somwhere that there were very few parts that were different between the 460 and 461. Being the R model, I was wondering if you looked at the oil pump and saw if that whole setup was the same or interchangeable with any of the other newer Stihl models in the lineup? I believe any saw I buy will have the HD oiler if I can help it.

Geeeezz Randy that's not an exhaust port that is just one big ass gaping ditch. Looks like you tried to cut an expansion chamber in there. I hope it's got some some serious top end pull with that canyon of hole. Good thing you put the screens and **** in there to keep the cold air off the rings, really? wow...

And I worry about going too far. Your way past gone. See what CAD does to your sense of perception!

I gota go fix a kiln, you guys are killing me...
