Come to think of it, when I lived in Ohio, the only GTG I made was in Indiana. I met up with @blsnelling and rode with him out to somewhere in Indiana. Was quite a good time.

It's been a rough year so far, but I think my luck is starting to change. During the second week of cutting, my trusty Super XL locked up mid-cut. I thought she seized, but when I got home and pulled the muffler, I could see the piston moving. Turns out I broke the connecting rod. Bought a...

IMG_20191101_135118628 by TechAlG posted Nov 3, 2019 at 7:41 AM "Skidded" some logs on Friday, cut, split, and loaded Saturday. Going to repeat today.

What's your timeframe on this? Going to be hard to justify $220 before the holidays. January, though...

Created a separate thread for this.

There was some talk in the Fall Central PA GTG thread about doing one in the spring. I am willing to host. Our land is in Duncansville, PA; 5 minutes off exit 23 of I-99. 1 hour south of I-80, 10 minutes south of US-22, 30 minutes north from I-70/76. I was thinking early April, but that...

My land is in Duncansville, PA, just south of Altoona. It is 5 minutes from I-99. It's about an hour south of I-80 and 20 minutes north of I-76. We could make camping arrangements if anybody is interested in staying over.

I would love to be able to make this, but alas, I have to work. That said, would anybody be interested in a GTG a little further west? Maybe in spring?

It wouldn't have been that many, but there are three cuts up the finger; which each needed stitched together. Luckily, I have good insurance, so it costs me $125, regardless of the amount of stitches.

I threw my Super XL the other day. I was trying to finish up the last few pieces for a load of wood, and got the tip into another log. That thing kicked back on me like I have never seen. It came back so hard it pulled my left hand off the handle, and that's when it bit me. 43 stitches in my...

I usually make a run to my mom's on weekends...I don't have anyhting planned in Sept yet. How big is thing, anyway?

If you can get them close to Harrisburg, PA, I can get them th Akron, OH sometime in Sept. Any takers?

You almost have me convinced to head down...it's only a 3 hour drive this time. 2500 miles in the past week makes me want to be nowhere near my car though...if I can convince SWMBO to accompany me, we might make the trek. I will know by Friday.

For those types of wood, the longest I run is a 16" bar, full comp. If I was cutting hardwoods that large, I would rather make 2 passes than try to run a bigger bar. Then again, I got spoiled at the Indiana GTG...7900 is my next purchase. Girlfriend even approved it :greenchainsaw:

Not everyone was making cookies I had to post this one...look like the Homelite was busy.

My mom came to visit today (emergency computer repair) and I showed her the pics. Of course, the first thing she asked me was how much I was spending on a new saw. Maybe she has CAD too?! The second thing she asked is why all the wood we loaded up was split down to kindling. Didn't I tell...

Once I got on 71, I set the cruise at 75. It didn't come off until I hit 76 (164 miles later) except in Columbus when I had to exit three times to stay on the road I was on. Maintaining that speed cut a half hour off my travel time.
