[ri chevy]

Good question.
Meet and Greet!
Put names and faces to screen names.

 

[redray46]

Are we having a get together or a swap meet? Lol

Hopefully both!Nate of Black Dog chainsaws(Iowa) said bring trade goods,so thats what i'm doing!!

 

[ri chevy]

No problem. I was just funnin.

 

[Mattyo]

I'm most excited about putting faces w/ names... will be cool to meet the folks on here.

2ndly, hopefully I can help fix some stuff and learn some fixit tips in the meantime!

3rdly, want to see if my saws are any good... like... at all

4rthly, gotta sell this 394! or maybe my ported 385 depending on who is interested in what

Al, as far as rules, if it ain't illegal immoral or fattening, it ain't allowed. Lol

By the by, even though no one mentioned it, maybe I should head into town and grab a box of sticky-back name badges.

 

[ri chevy]

I believe the name tags are already covered. Someone mentioned it a few pages back. Lol

 

[redray46]

If anyone has any Stihl ms 441 parts I can use a bunch of stuff.
thanks

What are the rules of a GTG?

Have fun! Meet some good people. Accelerate our CAD!!

 

[Mattyo]

name tags what an idea why didn't I think of that!##

 

[Paragon Builder]

I'm heading to the store any request for drinks?
Besides the beer... That goes without saying!

 

[MustangMike]

Usually, the only rules are 1) Don't cut yourself, & 2) Don't cut anyone else.

As long as everyone is safe, they are usually pretty open.

Chains are sharpened, Filters are clean, saws are gassed, directions are printed ....

 

[Mattyo]

Gotta load up all the parts i got... YIKES.

I'm bringing my suture kit just in case, DRF255 can help if needed

 

[Mattyo]

as long as there is coffee tomorrow...we're good on drinks

 

[Mattyo]

oh oh oh.... uh.... how about benches / tables to put stuff ... I have parts I'm bringing, will need an open space to work

We should be good with tables. If we need more I've got plywood we can make some.

 

[Derf]

Is anyone bringing chaps? Not sure how safety minded we need to be for just bucking wood up, but if I bring mine I'm happy to loan them around. I doubt we need more than a few pairs at any given time.

I only have a 5-gallon can for pre-mix. I'm thinking of just filling my saws up and if/when they run dry I'm done. Unless anyone wants to share their mix with me and I'll throw in a few pesos so I don't have to load up Al's truck with a separate gas can.

I'm looking forward to meeting people and putting names to faces...

Learning a bit about square filing...

Getting some timing numbers for one of my saws...

Drinking coffee...

Running a few saws to compare...

Watching a few "unofficial" races...

Eating some good food, maybe drinking a beer or two...

Seeing what cool gadgets and tools people are bringing out to show...

Seeing what is for sale, although the wife has already given notice that I should be conscious about coming home with more saws, so I'm probably just looking, unless one of those $100 7900/346 saws show up.

Just checking. Are there any toll roads to avoid? Are there tolls on Rt. 395?
Any travel tips?
