2016 Iowa spring gtg

[Michigan Escapee]

yeah,,,straight to Chelsea......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Far as I can tell, not too many straight lines once you get off Highway 30, just a bunch of meandering roads around what looks like a series of old quarries.

stupid question.... i've has this husqvarna 2101 that i got for free, it was fully assembled but some things looked cobbled together so i took it apart to clean it and figure out what parts i needed to buy. He said it ran before he threw it under a bunch of stuff in his garage. If i stopped down tomorrow would anyone be willing to kinda inform me if its worth fixing and what else needs fixing. i'd even pay some cash to whoever spends some time helping me. i've brought it to my dealers and they dont want anything to do with it...

Bring it with. I got nothing better to do and once I start to open my mouth Shaun will come over and correct me.

Just leaving the Mac show at Heimann's house. What an amazing collection!

Drive safely tomorrow folks. Let's hope the rain holds off!

Man and beast are sawing logs here.

What you left out is that vicious beast of a dog consumed the person that was attempting to sleep in the the bag. That is why the dog finally calmed down. The dog shows a constant insatiable appetite for eating tired GTG goers. It takes out the weak ones first. You know Husqvrana users

We are having lots of liquid sunshine here, so for now we are sitting inside eating and gabbing.

I have seen some of the attendees eat and talk. I hope you have plenty of bacon and a very good BS filter system. Hopefully the weather will let you make a big batch of cookies later.

Some of the eating and gabbing:



Great to meet everyone that I did and I'm sorry I missed the chance to say hello to the rest of you.

@hoskvarna and @Ronaldo thank you for hosting!

Hopefully this rain moves on so you guys can run some saws.

Thanks again to Mark and Ron and everyone else that put it the hard work getting ready for this event. Plenty of eating, lots and lots of complicated technical discussions regarding saws and stuff, more visiting, a short nap for some of the old folk, and just a bit of cutting by some of the hardy ones out in the rain. Ron has determined the weather will be great next year, certainly it can rain out three years in a row.

I did start the 1-80 I received earlier this year from Ike Holt and made a cut just to insure it would be O.K. Others were a lot more adventurous but I didn't feel the need myself.

Only one photo, Mark Hosky with his new tool box delivered by Chet (JetMD) along with the starter tools that have been donated so far. As a reminder, Mark Hosky lost his shop, tools, saws, and many other personal possessions in a fire earlier this year.

Got home about 8:30ish and unloaded the truck, it rained (and was very windy) all the way to Red Wing MN then stopped. Got some pictures I'll get up here soon. Thanks to everyone who came and to our hosts. Had fun despite all the rain.

Thanks to the Hoskeys for hosting, and for converting the garage into a club house for a few days, where people ruled over saws - mostly!

Chad didn't let the weather keep him from his craft and talent and spent a good share of the day out in it.
