Zero, Mike. I went from flying over 400 hours a year to 50 or 60 in the end. Found myself flying my last one simply because I owned it. Owned all of them outright, but at around $600 a week for insurance, inspections, reserve for overhaul and maintenance, not even including actually flying it...

He and Marita were fantastic people.! We all learned a lot from Art. RIP, my friend!

Thanks for the link, Ray1 Many I haven't seen. Since I just got back here, I wasn't aware of it. My pictures are all of AS GTG's and related stuff.

Mike, Dennis, Bob, Roger, Jon, John and me at Clearwater 21 years ago.

Clearwater was fantastic!

Hi Mike! Hope all is well with you, Jon and your families out there in Placerville! Man, we all had such a great time out there at your place! Heard that Ken Dunn is gone, which is a shame, too. Don't know about Art Martin.

Hi guys! Been perhaps a decade or so since since I last posted here. Just now found out that my old pal John "Gypo Logger" Lambert had passed back in February. This is devastating news! Accordingly, like I did with my Art Martin thread almost 20 years ago, I was thinking of doing one with...

The answer to all of the above is that you wouldn't....but you'd want to.

What would you do if you had nothing better to do...would you do it?

What would you do if Rotax came up behind you with the real Predator....would ya smile so much as to show off your swollen pink gums?

How 'bout DG's 13 year old GF?

What would you do if you got home and found RJS and MRYB..eh..well..would you whip out the Nikon and post it up?

If Gingivitus ever crawled out of my pipe, I'd ask him where the $1000 he owes me is. LOL. When I'm on my death bed, I'll always remember some of the funniest phone conversations in my life were with Gypo. Particularly, the one's that started, "What would you do if...". Can't repeat any of...

Hi Dennis, No doubt!! Ha ha. Bobby hadn't heard from him either when I talked to him last summer. It's been years since I've had contact with John, and to think we used to average at least one or two calls a day. What I really think would shock him is if everyone gave him a call since they...

2002 at Dennis Greffard's Clearwater Revival GTG in Clearwater BC. Yeah, the exhaust blew the suspended ceiling tiles out of their frames. Bob wisely took the chain off of it. Attendees from this board were Rupedoggy, Sawracer, Gypo Logger, RBTree, Rotax Robert (who brought "Easty Joe" along...

I've been on one side running the Predator with both Andrews and Jon Rupley. It's quite a handfull for two guys at over 500 lbs. even though it's an aluminum-blocked 215 CID Buick. When you first hit the log, it pulls itself right in up to the slide stop and there's nothing you can do about it...

The stories are many and wild. Most sane people would probably have a hard time believing the majority of them. Here's a picture that's been posted here from the 2002 Clearwater Revival: Rear left to right: Dennis, Sawracr, Gypo Logger Front left to right: Rupedoggy, Rotax Robert, RBTree...

Back in the first years AS existed, things could get pretty wild on the chainsaw forum. Much of what went on that people saw on their computers was well choreographed behind the scenes via phone calls and emails at all hours of the day and night. We all had multiple aliases and traded them back...

Yes, things were good back then, Roger. In general, I think a pretty good time was had by all in spite of the hiccups every now and again. Besides you, pretty much only Rotax, you and I remain unbanned, however that's possible. Look how much this site has grown over the years...

Looks like a Bell 407, John. I have done some long line training in a Jet Ranger, but nothing compared to what the "heliloggers" do on a routine basis. My best.
