Stipes, thanks for the bars and chains. Supercaps, thanks for the two Homelites. I hope you enjoy your new toy.
BTW, I found the Sure Shot cans at Graingers for <$30. I've got a Graingers real close here too.

Enjoyed Mike's playing for us...
Wish I could play at least sing like he can....It was fun sittin around the fire,,and listening to Mike playing,,,and Niks stories of all he went tru.....Nik,,never laughted so hard in so long....
Just wanted to say thanks to everybody who came and made this thing a big success.
I had a lot of fun doing this and it was nice to sit around the fire and get to know everybody and listen to Mike play guitar and sing. If you didn't come or didn't stay you really missed out.

Your so welcome Brad...
I screwed up when I bought the .404 bar and chain...I was lucky when I found the 28 inch 3/8ths for my Mcc. last week..Shame I had to drive all the was to Somerset Ky. (over a hour and ahalf away)for it,,and it was their last one that been sitting for along time they said...

It's a Mcc. chain....
I think Oregon made them for Mcc...Brad,,,I found the links in my glove box yesterday,,I knew I would forget something,,,send em tomorrow,,,just I dont have the drivers or cutters....I think thats for a 24 inch bar....

Thanks for all the great pics, Stipes! I like em big, easy for us old guys to see um. LOL Was glad to meet and talk with you and Gink595, a couple of fellow cant makers. 
I posted a pic couple days ago of you running the mini-mill Stipes, for those that weren't there sunday!
Gregg,

The links here..
They had to order them frm Oregon...The issue here ,,was they couldnt get the drivers and cutters...I think that was the straw that broke the camels back and why I gave up.... You wont believe how big a issue it was to at least find any links...Every shop I went to they would say *what size* like they thought I was messing with em,,,or soon as I said for a .404 chain they would cut me off and say,,no,,cant help you at all....
One place that was a Mcc. dealer in the 60's tru the early 80's here,,my friend worked for them and they moved to a new place last year and trew away all the Mcc. parts,,chains,,all in a dumpster,,and wouldnt let him have anything....New old stock.....Pretty sad......

Your welcome...Oh wait I'm not FISH...
I brought them...Picked the whole box up on an auction w/ 3 brand new plastic wedges for $2.50...I took the wedges and a couple of the grease guns and brought the rest down to give away...Glad somebody can use them...
