Sound good. I have a tach and we can help you tune your saws. That's not a problem. That is what these GTGs are all about. Trying to learn a little and have some fun too.
I bought my 2171 from Chris at Burnett dairy also. I have to talk to him yet and see if he will be there. He has come to other ones.

I think tmurph was going to come to a previous one but then wasn't able to make it. Bring them all along we have lots of room.

went to help dad today....and look at the trees

The basswood next to the shed is actually two that grew together and are leaning away from each other. It appears they have been leaning more and more away from each other since I was a kid because they used to touch about 5-6 feet above the ground. Now they only touch right at the ground. They are about 4-4.5 feet in diameter. The big basswood down by the corn crib is 3.5-4 feet in diameter, and the tho oaks by the house are 4 feet in diameter, but I think only one of those will be going. There in another in the south pasture that is supposed to be FAT. I did not make it out to look at that one because of the snow. I did not have my tape with me.... Wanted to get measurements. Dad probably had one laying around, but we were so busy unloading wood, I hardly had time to break out the vid cam. Will post the vids to youtube. search for ikesquirrel.

I talked to lastminute he said he is in! He has got a pretty bad 650 and a-- well you would have to see it to be leave it.I'll bring a big pan of BBQ made from wild elk and buns if you got a place to plug it in.My brother Jim will also be coming with a sweetazz 372,makes my stock 460 look pretty weak.The only reason one or the other wouldn't make it is that we all drive truck.Still working on treemonkey, our local builder, trying to get him to commit with his toys so send him a pm it would help!!! Thanx

I fixed it!
There are quite a few that plan on bringing a friend or two with also.
They aren't listed, so we may be looking at as many as 50.
We definitely have to do an "Official Saw Count" at noon and see how many we have.

[Curlycherry1]

Any idea of what other food items some folks could bring? I got homemade salsa of varying degrees of hotness and homemade dill pickles, some normal and some with hot peppers.

We usually have everyone just bring something. We always get a good variety and never go hungry! I have a large grill too for cooking up burger or brats. We have had lamb and rabbit at previous ones also.

[Thorcw]

ill bring some dessert

 

[woodyman]

Jon,it looks like you and your 2156 will be racing against Thor and his 359 this time.I think that 359 has gotten alittle faster sinse the last time you saw it.I forgot his name but was wondering if the young man with the ported 2171 that was at the GTG last March will be there again with it?That was one smoking 2171.

Thats cool,and you have a 2171 that it should fit right on.Is the piston out of the ported 2171 the one with the windows in it?
