Things are looking pretty cool, dig how y'all are bringing stuff to check out.
"Burgers dogs and..." sounds good so far. And who doesn't like a good macaroni salad? Cindy will be pumping out some pancakes and maybe waffles for the morning. She had planned on putting together a big ol pot of chili too, but by last-minute request we're heading to Salem the following day to help out at a fundraiser for a young lady with brain cancer, and me Bride thought the chili might be better utilized there at 5 bucks a bowl or something, I don't know.
If anyone is around on Sunday, head on over to "Hair Power" at 20 Hartford Road in Salem CT. Band, food, roller derby girls, get your hair cut, raise money for this gal, you know the drill.
Looking forward to seeing everyone, and don't sweat the badges, Dan and I are finishing up a branding iron that says the same "hello my name is ___ " message so that with a grease pencil should just about do it!

One of my neighbors is cooking up a pot of baked beans. She's going to come and watch all the fun.
Yeah, I always bring it, over the past couple years has seen probably five gtg's. This time I may even have a hitch mounted vise set up so can demo it 'properly'.
Works well enough as is but I'm sure could be refined/improved, though at this point I'm sort of tired of it as a project so further development has all but ceased.
Was hoping if I refused to make any to distribute and showed it to enough people, someone would pick up where I left off and maybe come up with (and share) some new/better variations... so far no love...

Rushing to get my 044 cleaned up for the GTG.
It's BYOF (bring your own fuel) correct?
MelS, gonna take you up on your offer for the gas can. I gotta get down to my storage container and get that buckle Stihl case for you to exchange.
Who's bringing the little orange tuning screwdrivers?

Running Saws for Therapy
Guys if today goes well I'm on a plane tomorrow (Thursday) and time warp and arrive in Boston on Thursday afternoon after 14 hours in the air. Will spend Friday getting saws together. Not definite yet but will post either way tonight.
I'll bring my homelite410 chain vise and sharpening stuff. Just need a vise to hold the chain vise plate if someone has one on a truck or something.
Fingers still crossed. Holy cow last minute.... I'm on the edge of my seat here.

I've got a vise here you can use.
Hopefully you can make it!
My 362 C is M-Tronic, it will be there.

Running Saws for Therapy
Well it seems to have worked out -- I'll be taking my flight tomorrow and should be in Boston in the afternoon.
My saws have been sitting in the garage (with fuel yikes) for like 7+ weeks since I've been here for 5.
I'll get fresh fuel in them to try and clear their throats and see how they are running Friday and get ready to try and get there Saturday.
I'll be a zombie with the time change -- but my goal was to get home for this GTG since it's close by!
Looking forward to it!
