[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I would also like to thank everybody putting this event on. My brother and I were kind of in disbelief about how many people get together to run chainsaws, it was quite a spectacle, thanks to all kind people who lets us run their saws. Especially the tree monkey stills and that badass Dolmar! Defiantly learned a lot and hoped to make it to more of them, thanks again!

Yup that was gooey!! But it broke up the morning and we take care of our own.

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

No wonder my jerk rope was a muddy mess!!! Glad Kenneth made it out safely and without any extra expense!


Thanks again Mark, Ron and Mike and whoever else was involved setting up this GTG. Definitely takes a lot of time and effort to pull it off like you guys did!

This would be really disappointing if someone picked off one of your saws. Not something I would have expected.

I came home with an extra saw but it was a Husqvarna 2100

 

[maulhead]

You have a very good collection of mastermind saws. I enjoyed running them. Now i know what i am missing and need to get at least one.

Nice meeting and talking with you. I learned a lot over the weekend. I have a few to many saws I think I plan to sell one of my smaller MM saws soon. Might post it on the trading post in a few days, I didn't run or start it over the weekend.

 

[Steve NW WI]

TomTom Kenneth? The u-ey trackz I left after mine tried to lead me astray should have been a warning.

I'll try to make a correction for it next time I plug mine into the computer.

 

[Homelite410]

The saw has been found. Not a big deal!

 

[jetmd]

Good deal Mike, you posted your reply while I was writing my soapbox message.

Lost a front right tire on the west side of DSM on the way home. Had to limp home on 5!

Life is good. All safe and sound.

Good host?? From what I saw anyone wantin' to be a great host should'a been takin' notes‼
It ain't no little thing feedin' and takin' care of that many hungry bellies... plus all the prepin' and other stuff.
I can't imagine anyone bein' disappointed at that event‼
You guys are friggin' awesome.

Good to hear the missin' saw turned up... It would'a been just so wrong if it walked away.

Chet, sorry to hear about the tire, but am glad it was one of the duals so you were able to make it home without having to mess with the muddy truck/tires.

As Vic said, the rain did slow down the outside events some, but did not prevent folks from having a great time.

Mike thanks again for taking us by Virgil's saw mill.

To be honest with ya, on the way there Friday, I was a little leery,, I kept thinking to myself, this is nuts, I dont know anyone, at this GTG, never met a single one of these guys before, dont know any of them from Adam.

Hopefully, you actually met Adam!!! [emoji12]

So glad you made the trip!! Andy & I had a similar experience for our 1st gtg... 10+ hours to some random place in Arkansas... After we got comfortable with the banjo music, we had a blast!!!
Ain't regretted it a day yet. These are fine folks!

 

[Vic Hyman]

Next time I'm gonna' need to make a list of people I wanna' make sure to shake hands with. I had a lot of guys pointed out to me in the shed but it was a bit tight in there with the big turn-out. B'sides, my hearing is really bad when there's so many voices at the same time. Then, when it did stop rainin' everyone hit the saws pretty hard makin' up for lost time. You were one of those guys I wanted to shake hands with Ronaldo... heck, for all I know I was standin' right next to you at some point... maybe even had a couple words with ya'.

Of course, it was an all-new experience for me... just takin' it all in was time consuming in it's own way.
If the weather would'a been dryer, less windy, not so cool, and everyone could'a hit the saws earlier in the day, I guessin' there would'a been more time for hand shakin' 'n' dirt clod kickin' up on the hill.

Anyway, there's always next time...

Talk at the top of the hill? I tried that and I am still working on recovering my voice after my failed attempt of trying to be heard over AWOL's saws..... LOL
