Nor Cal & North SF Bay GTG (November 11-14, 2022)

[Farley9n]

Where? Just east of Springfield Oregon, just off highway 126, between Cedar Flats and Walterville , on the Mckenzie River. Look for Hendricks Wayside Park and you are within ear shot. Hope you can make it! Complete directions, phone, and so forth are just a PM away. There is also a Facebook page. Look for Pacific Northwest GTG. Lots of pictures there as we have been doing it a few years now but you will have to become a member. Easy to do as any member can put you in and you more than likely know several.........Bob

Great pics! From one wood tick to another.

Link to an article in the Napa Valley Register that discusses some happenings at the Bothe-Napa Valley State Park. Might be of interest to past and future GTG attendees. Plus there is a picture with Tyler in it!

Thanks Chas, that was a good read. Maybe the paper could send a photographer next work day. Or maybe one of you locals could run a camera instead of saw and follow up with the paper the following week.

It looks like the park has a wonderful new addition. Congratulations to all involved who made this happen. I'll bet Tyler's back is especially grateful.

Yep. That tractor has been sorely needed.

Congrats to the park! Congrats to Tyler's and Sandy's back muscles!

Aaron how has the Homelite worked out?

 

[Eccentric]

It had been sitting on a shelf at the park since the GTG. I brought it home a couple weekends ago and will freshen it up with crank seals, a carb kit, and a longer b/c once I get through about a dozen other saws that belong to the park and other folks.....

LOL!

LOL!

I left it at the park and just never got around to going back there to pick it up (along with some ailing park saws) until the weekend before last. Mom got sick (cancer for the third and final time...) towards the end of the year and free time completely went out the window until recently. Things are finally getting back to 'normal'.....

Sorry to hear that Aaron.

 

[sawfun]

A very big +1 to that. My mom died of cancer over 10 years ago. I remember it took a lot out of me so I understand the pain and work involved.

 

[Eccentric]

Thanks guys.

 

[Gologit]

Thanks guys.

Sorry about your Mom Aaron.

 

[Eccentric]

Sorry about your Mom Aaron.

Thank you Bob.

Aaron I have a ziplock of old air filters and screens for you at the next GTG. I also now have about 25 1/4" files. Need any? They also gave me a near perfect Belsaw round chain grinder, just needs a new indexing pawl, and a LARGE 2-man McCulloch. It is nearly 8' long with a 48" cut. I could not find any numbers an the saw to identify it. Any suggestions?

Sounds good. I could certainly use some 1/4" files for sharpening 1/2" chain.

Mac could be a 5-49, a 12-25A, a 7-55, a 99, a 1-92, a 1-93, or a 940. Can you shoot a few pics of the powerhead?

I will post pics next week. I am heading to San Benito county for our annual family GTG/spring lamb BBQ.

They also gave me 2 aluminum hardhats, cap style, 1 Fibermetal, 1 Jackson (I think), both with good suspensions. Also 3 Mac-T full brim hard hats from the local fire camp. These are also in great shape and have goggle clips. All will be for sale at the GTG in November.

Most of the files are in boxes marked Oregon Finland. There are also Oregon Sweden, Oberg, Dolmar, and a few other brands.

The saw looks to be a model 99.

 

[Bob95065]

Are you selling the 1/2" files?
