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!

nametags nametags nametags!

if you aren't bringing them let me know and i'll get some stickems for our shirts.

looks like the weather will cooperate...awesome!

I did a check on my ported 350 and one of the cylinder head bolts stripped right out.... DOH! retapped at m6 and resealed w/ a new base gasket, ran nice this AM

so my list of saws...

350 ported ...hyway cylinder
262xp ported by me... case decked
372xt ported by me.... case decked
385xp ported by me...case decked
394xp ported by me....case decked

I'll have a few new 20" 72dl 050 lgx chains with a couple 20" large mount and one small mount husky bars.
I'll also be bringing a 28" bar, 24" bar and maybe even my 36"

FOR SALE: either my 394xp or my 385xp ... if someone takes a shine to either we'll make a deal
I also have a 28" husky large mount bar that is .058 that i'm likely not going to use because I have a bunch of 050 chains

I'll also have my tools, parts, and timing wheel....maybe even my dremel

Bring a tank of nitrous.

And on a serious note, a working compression tester. I've had nothing but bad luck with mine. It would be nice to get a comparison reading.

 

[Mattyo]

Mine works...it will be there

Things are looking better than 75% that I can come, so I'm asterisking my name. I hope drf255 can give me a ride after I take the ferry from Long Island to CT.

I'd like to bring my 395xp and a 32" bar for the bigger wood fun. I haven't run it yet this season, so hopefully there aren't any gremlins we can't sort out.

I would also like to bring a 353 (case only) that is in pieces so I can get timing numbers from Mattyo if he'll show me how to attach a degree wheel. I made a piston stop today.

I have a '99 372xp, stock PHO, I'd like to bring too if there's room, but really I'd like to sell it if there is interest. If no interest or room I can leave it behind as Mattyo already is bringing his ported 372xp. If I do bring it and someone wants to use it I would hopefully borrow a bar and chain.

I'll also bring my compression tester; getting more numbers for comparison against others would be good for me. I can bring some beer and pie too.

Looking forward to meeting ya'll and running some saws.

I think I'll know who you are on the ferry. The guy carrying a bunch of chainsaws with noone sitting around him.

If you'd like, I'll meet you in the lot before and you can load them in my jeep. That is, unless you wanna looks like that texan massacre guy....

I've got bars and chains. My father in law may be interested in that 372.

Lol!!!

 

[Paragon Builder]

Took the day off tomorrow to get set up! Can't believe it's here already... Looking forward to meeting all of you. It's looking like a great weather day too!

That is too funny! Thanks, I'll PM you for time/location details and to give you my phone number. I don't want to scare any women or children.

Ok, if he says he's interested I'll bring it along so you can look/see.

 

[skippysphins]

I might be interested in the 372 also . do you have a price in mind . how about some pics of it too

 

[MarkEagleUSA]

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I can make it. My morning is booked so the earliest I could get there would likely be after 1:00 (I'm at least an hour away), and even that would be pushing it. If anything changes before tomorrow night I'll let y'all know.

 

[skippysphins]

If I make it I may have 2 Saws for sale a 288 ported and a 044 mmws .

 

[skippysphins]

Any interest ?

 

[Paragon Builder]

Who ported the 288?

 

[skippysphins]

Tri955 I think

 

[skippysphins]

Dan if I do make it do you need me to bring anything?

Maybe some dessert or snacks.
