that's just way cool. Man, it's running so well! I go to see it in person and I can tell you all it looks as good as it runs!

Looks great Brad. I'm glad the p&c arrived in a fairly timely manner. Kudos to all that contributed to this very uplifting build.
Man. I knew this would be a great saw, but this is way, way nice. Pat's gonna have to get around to believing it. He is already suspicious of me as I called him a couple times to find out what bar/chain size he's using, etc. I've already explained to my sister that I had zero to do with this. You guys are incredible. I'll get some photos going when possible. Pat's a bit shy, but no doubt his wife will use the camera when she's home from her trip.
I'm still blown away. He will be, too. My mother is even excited about this [she's sworn to secrecy, and since she's with my sister, I have no doubt she hasn't spilled the beans].My mother has felt a bit bad at times about the billion calls she's made to Pat over the years. Now she can smile a bit, too.
Heck, I can't wait to visit them all some time and see this saw for myself. This is gotta be one of the nicest things anyone's done for him like this. It seems from the posts that everyone feels pretty good about it, and I hope that is the case. As I said earlier on, when I posted the original tale I figured a few people would read it and comment, nothing like this. I have some very close friends in Wales, and I've kept them up on this [Pat and my sister went over with my wife and me a while back to meet them, so they know him] and they've passed the story around to other friends of theirs in Scotland and Ireland and England. You've become internationally famous.... I'll be sending on the photos to them, too, when they are taken.
I've been prodding Pat to get chaps for some time. He never has, so this is even better. He knows he needs them: firemen who live to retirement are generally safety conscious. He could have moved up in rank from Cap't but it would've meant a desk job and his policy is, besides hating politics and desk work, he wouldn't let his guys go do something he wasn't in there with them doing himself. [Which is how he fell through a stair landing once that had partially burned thru from the floor below...which is when my sister began to think retirement might just be a pretty good move.] But now he will have chaps....

No feathers ruffled here, just a little disappointed you guys don't trust me more. I still think showin up in person with a prize like Ed McMahon is better than just getting a box in the mail. That's just my .02.
I guarantee no one was doubting your trustworthiness. Read the reasons people listed for shipping it asap, especially the ones his BIL listed. Your offer is certainly as appreciated as all the other help that has gone into this.

Absolutely not the case at all!!! We've dealt before and I would have no problems sending this saw to you at all!
The saw is officially done and ready to be boxed up. It will be going out this afternoon along with the chaps.

It won't let me rep you, but anyway that will make it cooler getting a saw case a day after the saw.

Anybody think it nessacery to print this thread and send it? I would work on it if anybody thinks so. I don't know if he will become a member?
I put a link to it in the letter.

Cool that will help him find it.
That's the Baileys version of an Elastostart. I had some left over from the last GTG.
