The official CT Autumn GTG (07 November 2015)

[Boozer]

When do you sleep Matty? I see you posting at 3am when only vampires and
insomniacs (like me) are up!

Really hope it all falls into place for me as I want to meet you guys, run saws & bs a bit.
Nice crisp New England day...perfect.

 

[Mattyo]

I rarely sleep more than a few hours at a clip anymore....so at around 3am I go online and buy things when my judgment isn't good..

I think this has significantly contributed to my accumulated stuff

Hence all the buying and selling....I just need someone at the other end of the system to buy all the stuff I put together ... then there would be no end to this habit

 

[Boozer]

If you stuff a 288/390 top end into a 372 somehow and create a monster...your
inbox will be full!

 

[Mattyo]

That's pretty much the only thing I'm afraid of!

 

[Derf]

I'll be there. Just booked the cross sound ferry.

Will there be a "buy and sell" corral? Or is that just poor form?

I'm always looking for more saws and have a few I'd like to trade/sell.

I'll be in Brentwood and will also need to take that ferry. Can you tell me if it's necessary to book it in advance or can you just show up? Any chance I can meet to share a ride?

Paid for ferry ticket sure sounds like a commit to be there, looking forward to seeing ya Al.

Buy sell trade lend give-away whatever, it's good. I'll have tags if anyone wants to hang 'em on whatever it is they want to get rid of (no pets, kids or Mother-in-law's though...) If you're looking for something, maybe write up a wanted list on a slab of cardboard and post it alongside your stuff. Bring whatever fits, make sure you have room to take it all Home!

I have a '99 372xp I'm thinking of selling. I just don't use it much with the 372xpw. I'd bring it to save on shipping costs but I will only have so much room in my car.

 

[steve147]

I wish I knew of some. I've been wondering if maybe on the shore near the marinas?
Not sure though.

It looks like Moran's Service Center on Rt2 in Preston sells Sunoco Standard (110 octane, 0% E) at the pumps. Not too far away from Norwich but not sure of their operating hours.

 

[Boozer]

They have long hours, gassed up there many times going to/from Foxwoods casino.
Racing fuel...expensive but ethanol free.

 

[Paragon Builder]

Not sure I'd want to run racing fuel in my saws.... Too bad they don't have reg pump fuel ethanol free...

 

[Mattyo]

if anyone is coming from New Hampshire, maybe they could bring some?

 

[drf255]

Whoever is coming from anyplace with EFree, bring as much as you can.

I think we'd all be interested.

Is there a focus on what we should bring?

I'm bringing a couple of stock classics, a couple of my home ported hack jobs, and maybe a masterminded 066.

If Derf rides with me, I may have a bit less room.

I'm also gonna try to bring a few containers for (Hopeful) EFree.

 

[drf255]

Oh, and also the burgers and dogs.

With this be an "Ethanol Free" event, or only in the gasoline?

Whoever hits the "E" has to be done using a saw though, period.

 

[Mattyo]

never been to a chainsaw GTG, but I've been to others of this type, one thing we always forget... NAMETAGS .... this is REALLY important to know who's who and big enough for our online handle and name

 

[ri chevy]

And a Camera to document the event!

 

[Paragon Builder]

With this be an "Ethanol Free" event, or only in the gasoline?

I have no problem with responsible drinking. [emoji481] But like you said, after your done running saws. I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

 

[drf255]

What's the head count so far?

 

[mels]

Della and the dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo

So, 4 so far

But the cat was cool...

 

[redray46]

Me and you and a dog named Boo,traveling and living off the land!!
I count three!Cool dog,cool old song!
I am still trying to get out of a conflict,so I can attend.

[MarkEagleUSA]

I'm gonna do my best to make it but it may be a night before decision. Life all too often gets in the way of having fun these days...

 

[drf255]

Are we talking 10,25,50.....?

 

[MustangMike]

I'm planning to be there, baring any family emergencies.

I'll bring all my toys, and if anyone is interested in a like new 20" Sugi Hara bar (shihl mount), for about $60, let me know.
