[heimannm]

More from last year:

James brought McCulloch last time

I always bring (mostly) McCulloch

Scott has a few McC's himself

What's not to like about a McHot Saw?

Others are welcome too...

We are at the wilderness resort so we must be just right around the corner from you? I know I biked out others in about a mile or to I was right into rural setting. I must say I like the paved rural roads

The Wilderness is about 5 miles from our place, but we are on the west side of I90-94, whereas the Wilderness is on the east side if I90-94.

Man they need to change the dates on this event. That weekend there is a big National Tractor Pull in Bowling Green. Also the Nascar race is in Michigan too. Too many activities all the same weekend. To whom ever attends, please take lots of pictures.

I am so ashamed:msp_sad:never even though about you, can you forgive me:tongue2:

10 day forcast has Baraboo expecting perfect weather this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with no rain, high temperatures around 75° and lows in the 50's. I am getting excited...

More photo's from last year.

Wendel and Marty on a two man saw, even with suspenders the view is marginal

The unfair race, 30 cc Mini Mac vs 115 cc Wright, maybe if the Wright had a chain it could keep up?

Poor Wendell some things just can't be undone:msp_scared:

Looking forward to the pictures since I was just there and missed my timing on this event:msp_sad:

 

[heimannm]

I think I have a few saws ready, perhaps some are more interesting that others.

[McC]

I think your truck will be pretty full again!

 

[Bill G]

I am pulling out on the journey in 15 minutes. Hope to see some of you Friday

 

[heimannm]

I think your truck will be pretty full again!

I always manage to leave a little extra space available, just in case I find something interesting...

Bill, I should be there by noon tomorrow.

Friday, i didn't know we could come up on Friday. :msp_unsure:

Unfortunately, Friday is my day to at least get a saw or two running. :msp_mad:

 

[heimannm]

As I was loading the truck tonight I realized at least three of the saws I am bringing came from Roger Bennet...

I think there are 14 in there with just a little room left over.

Was out to the show grounds twice today. Took the tractors and snowmobiles out first, then came home for supper and then took my trailer with saws. Talked with James both times. He has at least 70 saws there this year! Talked with the sawmill guys, they will saw 2 of the logs Friday for us, making 10X10 cants for the direct drive saws. Will be back Friday morning with another load of supplies.

I drove by tonight and noticed there was one sign at the main entrance that had the wrong dates 16-17-18

 

[wendell]

I :beauty3: Badger Steam & Gas!!

 

[heimannm]

Steam and gas

I had lunch at Taco Bell in Baraboo so there was plenty of gas this afternoon anyway...Scott fed me dinner on the grounds, pork and salads were great but the peanut brittle was absolutely over the top!

I will try to take a few photos tomorrow so Wendel please be sure to wear your Duluth T shirt with the extra long tail...

I spy the mighty McCulloch 77 on the floor.

 

[McC]

We are all set. Had the old bandsaw mill saw our 3 silver maple logs into a truckbed full of boards, and 3 10X10's. The main event starts at noon Saturday. Watched a great spark show tonight. The belt an 80hp case steamer up to a fan dyno, then load the firebox with wood shavings and let it rip. Shoots sparks at least 30 ft in the air, really cool.

 

[wendell]

Mark, maybe if you'd just get over your obsession with my ass, I wouldn't have to worry about what shirt I wear. :msp_angry:

On a happier note, I did get the 5-49 running this afternoon with some help from Kingsley. Unfortunately, I seem to have forgotten how to get it all back together as I've either got an extra lock washer or I'm missing some parts. :msp_sad:

I don't know what else runs, I didn't get anything sharpened but I will hopefully get there around 10.
