West Central Ohio GTG

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

I'm also bringing my 044 for JJ's comparison runs, though it's only had a few tanks through it since I had to replace the piston last spring. I'll certainly defer to anyone else who may have a more seasoned 044 for the task, tho. Mine may not represent a "fair fight" as a stock comparison yet.

Sorry not going to make it to this one pogo. I'm sure that 044 could whoop up on my little ole poulan 445 70.7cc. Dont know if this one is broke in at all either. :msp_tongue:

Have other plans. Family 1st.

They're probably to busy enjoying their steak to post pictures for us.

Such a big thanks to the host Jim (Boda65) and his family. One of the nicest GTG's to date. Had a great time, wish I could have stayed longer. I believe next time I will cut less, and talk more. Such a great group of people, I didnt feel like I talked with near enough.
Food was excellent, everything was great. Hope you all have a safe trip home!

Looks like there was a good turnout. Could not have asked for a nicer day to have it. Need to get to one these shindigs seems there is always a conflict.

Thanks Jim for a great gtg. I had an awesome time and ran some excellent saws.

Boy did the host ever have everything set up nice. Thanks Boda for putting up with us.

There sure were a LOT OF SAWS THERE TODAY!!!!!!

Had a great time seeing everyone today, and meeting some new folk. Jim and his wife did an excellent job hosting an awesome GTG. The lunch spread was excellent. I've got pics and vids, but won't be able to do anything with them until I good home tomorrow.

Still driving home...

An absolutely exceptional event at every conceivable level.

Exceptional weather...

Exceptional cast of characters...

Exceptional variety of saw representation...

The cutting layout was superb for multiple groups of folks and saw sizes so no one was stepping on anyone else...

And the hospitality of the host and hostess? Simply awesome.

A few pics to come from me if they turned out, and I know there was a bunch of video shot that should be fun to watch once that gets processed and uploaded.

Mega thanks to Jim and family for a great day!!! (And it all started with a damned cottonwood he wasn't quite sure what to do with.)

Great to get reacquainted with a coupla you folks I met at Bill and Jody's last year and great to meet a bunch o' ya new characters, too.

Then there was Guido...:msp_wub: (Just kidding, Gary. Nice to finally meet you. You're a good sport, a good guy, and a new friend.)

But all in all for someone's first shot at hosting a GTG? Absolute slam dunk, Jim.

Thanks to you and family for putting it all together.

So is there another pesky cottonwood tree needin' your attention any time soon?:msp_biggrin:

Now that's a handsome collection of suspects!

You guys had a beautiful day for a GTG!

Thank You! Jim (Boda65) wife & family for putting on a fantastic GTG. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and think everyone else did too! Met a lot of new folks, and got to see some old friends again, and their saws. :msp_biggrin:

Was especially glad to meet Justin (cowroy). Glad he made the long trip from Knoxville! Special thanks to Rory (Low volt) for the snazzie T-shirts too! I'll post a few pics later. Got to run some great saws today.


Gregg,

 

[boda65]

Thanks!!

If I try to thank people I will miss someone, but I do want to thank everyone who was able to come. I had a great time today. The weather was awesome, we've had high winds for at least a week now and it was nice to just have a gentle breeze. A guest commented about how all the power poles and trees seem to lean the the east around here. It was nice to get to put some faces to the names I am familiar with. Thanks to all who helped load cookies and keep things neat. I think brad bucked about 2 pick up loads into firewood length LOL.The cookies are all piled up and the saw dust can wait. Thanks to my friend Dennis who provided the JD with frontend loader, it was a real work saver. I hope to get up some pics, but right now I am sunburnt, tired, and happy. I think I will go to bed soon. Your generosity with chips, drinks, snacks and donations is overwhelming. Thanks again!!
Jim

FYI, Young isnt that short. He was crouched down. I would say hes atleast 5'3", not 4'11" like previously suspected. (JK)
