GTG around north carolina 4-18-09

Calvin, I use to drive a truck for a while and that is the best route even with the towns and stoplights, I always hated coming to you part of the woods, nothing against your town but I hated the ride back.

i guess the best route is hwy 70 to hwy 40 and then 40 to hwy 1 and 64 together and then on straight 64 after apex did a check on mapquest it says its exactily 211.18 miles from my place to asheboro 4 hrs and 10 minutes my van only gets 14-18 mpg normally 100 miles per quarter tank 200 half tank

that means i will have to fuel up probily in kinston or goldsboro and do the same on the way back

so i know i will eat supper at mccalls in goldsboro on the way back home

so the map makes it look long but i guess its not to bad a drive from 40

Apex is where i think Food lion has there plant
now if im coming from that way where is tonys shop at ?

i remember i drove to garner one time to pick up some mcculloch parts i won on ebay last year

What all saws are you folks bringing?

I'll have every saw in my sig line (except the ungassed MS440, it's staying home to hold down the fort) and folks are welcome to try them out...

I'd like to try a 441 if someone brings one.

Alright I got 3 nice poplar logs loaded and ready to go from a tree I dropped yesterday. Each one is about 18 inch and ranging from 4 to 6 feet long had to load them heavy SOBs by hand so I couldnt bring anything any bigger sorry. Looking forward to seeing everybody I am going to try to be there about 9:00am and for Love the outdoors question I am bringing the saws in my sig.

Sounds good JT, you just saved a few sweetgums around my place. I want to run that 395!

I'm sending the safety handle from Baileys down to Brian so he can bring it to Ashboro next weekend. If you all would, give it a whirl and see what you think of it. Post your comments to Baileys thread concerning it:
