Charity Cut for Interfaith Caregivers-Who is up for the task at hand?

[Dan_IN_MN]

Well, I decided I would be a little productive this afternoon so I drove to the office to get my saws out of my wife's car and bring them home to get them all cleaned up. Seems that I didn't quite get the tailgate latched so on the 3/4 mile drive back to my house, the tailgate opened and I am now no longer the proud owner of a 346 or a 395. I was back over my path within 3 minutes and they were already gone.

I already have an ad up on CL so hopefully a good Samaritan found them. Man, I am bummed.

I was thinking the same thing-only a different shade of orange/red!

 

[wendell]

Thanks, guys, but for the moment I'm really holding out for someone having them and they will turn up as soon as they think to check CL.

I suppose I should file a police report?

Steve, so sorry to hear about the saws. I hope a nice guy gets them back to you. At least you didn't loose the two Hot Rods.
Still not a good deal.:msp_sad:

 

[Steve NW WI]

Bum deal wendell, hope your lost children find their way home.

A police report, and maybe a want ad in the paper sure ain't gonna hurt.

If ya have the S/Ns for em, post em up and we will keep a group eye out for ya.

What an incredible day! You guys never cease to amaze us. Interfaith Caregivers cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us. It is because of you gentlemen that our program is so successful and continuing to grow. Several "tours" of the worksite were given on Sunday and Monday to people who didn't want to stop on Saturday and disturb the effort. I just love talking about the Arborists and your unbelievable efforts. I will never ever again suggest a task is insurmountable!!!

The efforts you put in, the distances you travel, the good natured fun, all makes for great memories.

Thank you all again for everything you have done for our group. Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County salutes you!!!!!!!

Denny, I think a good time was had by all. I think everyone slept pretty good that night.

As Marty's signature says, "we didn't know it couldn't be done" so we just did it.

Make sure you give Barb our love!

Steve, I sure hope that your saws were found by a honest person, and they are returned to you.

Thanks again J.D. for letting me stay at your place. And Thanks Boyd for breakfast.

It was good times for sure. That was a heck of alot of wood and my saws and me need a break. If you come across any more of those caramel rolls send them my way! Speaking of caramel roll.....

Im goin to bed.............

Eric, send address, I will see that you get caramel rolls. Thanks for everything, Barb

Watch out what you commit to here-You could be sending them rolls half way around the country!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[wendell]

Good news!! Got a call this afternoon by the guy who picked up my saws. He had called the police but they said they couldn't help unless he wanted to turn them over to them. Gotta love the big city. I guess filling out that police report sure did a lot of good.

Then he's been checking the paper the last couple days and then thought today to check CL. Unfortunately, he lives almost 2 hours north of here so they aren't back in my possession yet. I'm breathing easier but won't be completely at ease until they are back home.

Thank you all for your concern.

 

[wendell]

Ditto on the caramel rolls!! My grandmother was famous for her caramel suckers and the caramel on those rolls is the closest I have come to that taste since she passed away.

I'd make the drive just to get some more of them!!

 

[Steve NW WI]

Wendell, good to hear your boys are on their way back. I hope they don't have too bad of a case of road rash.

NOW GET OUT THERE AND FIX THE LATCH ON THAT TAILGATE!

 

[Philbert]

Wendell, good to hear your boys are on their way back.

NOW GET OUT THERE AND FIX THE LATCH ON THAT TAILGATE!

+1 on each count!

Was able to go pick up the saws last night and feared the worst but both of them are fine. The 346 just has a few scratches on the handle where it hit and the 395 landed on its filter cover and you can just make out an impact line.

I think the latch is fine, it was more a problem with the latcher who did have the appropriate umph in his closing effort in his road weary state. :hmm3grin2orange:

Sorry for the delay in getting the final videos up. I was having trouble getting them off my camera.

I need to learn how to stop recording in HD. They took forever to load last night.

Thanks again to everyone who helped organize this event!!!
