it was my wife and mom that made me go......i have been having problems w/ my asthma and chest pain b/c of it...they thought i was going to die from a heart attack...so they did a resting ecg and an x-ray, they both looked fine...they think the pain is from an irritated esophagus...
jerky?
It's all in the upcoming video that's uploading to YT now.

Great!!! I'm sure others will be a suprised as I was....That was damn cool!!!!
Here's the link to the video. It'll be a while before they're done with their processing. I just want to get the link posted before going to bed.
The fuel testing is the last several minutes. I've been saying for some time that AvGas made a saw slower than pump gas. We had an asortment of fuels on hand and I volunteered my 064 with a ported OEM 066 topend as a test bed. This saw makes 150 PSI compression. We tested Sunoco 94, VP C10, AvGas, and 95 octane pump gas with no ethanol. It turns out that all fuels cut within 3 seconds of each other in 30" Beech and cut time's a little more than 35 seconds. That could be nothing more than operator difference. A saw with significantly more comression may give different results, but in this saw it just didn't make much difference.

Gotta hit the bed too....Thanks Erick for lettin me try your ms660....Man,,that was sweet...
Thank you again Eric and family....It was a great day!!!!
My thoughts of today...
I (WAS) gonna to hit the bed earlyer,,but Kim and me had a long talk about the day....
I told her you really missed out....Some people on the net are fake,,we all know,,but this group of us isnt...Thats the gut feeling I had when I got on AS,,you can tell who is who...
I hope you all understand I'm kinda shy,,and I listen,,and learn...I told her,,,these men I was with,,are good people...Alot of people think cause a bunch of men with chainsaws will get drunk,,fight and things....
First of all,I never heard a cuss word ,but from me when I flooded my Mcc and yanked my guts out and it finally fired up...
No Stihl Husky wars....I told her,,it's not the saws,,it's the man behind the saw.....Seen alot of diffrent saws,,and all is good in my eyes..................Was so amazed with the old school saws,,and the mod saws....How times have come along away...............
I wanna share something that Gink said,,and hope he dont mind me sharing this,,but the thing about the GTG is we can all try out diffrent saws,,things and suite what is best for us....That was so cool to see so many things diffrent than I have seen..........
I cant say Thank You enough to Eric.....I know it cost him to put this on....I cant remember who it was that I was standing behind of them,but he had some money to give to Eric and said i didnt bring anything and take this,,and Eric said no......I might not say alot,,but I watch and listen...I hope you dont get mad at me Eric for tellin that,,but I thought all ya did to put this all together and you said no,,,,that says alot,,your apprecited from me......
I had to copy this again....I enjoyed the day...Thank you all so much !!!

It was my wife and mom that made me go...
Guess you are gonna have to stay away from that jerky with 'zing' written on the bag. You can send all you want my way though
Glad you are OK.

Sorry I did not make it
I had planned to attend. A visitor got involved in a project at my shop and it took far longer than expected. I hope we can do one of these again. I'ss have the Disstons and Mercs at the Oblong Engine show in August.
Thanks Eric for hosting the event. I may be able to do one here in Mattoon IL. some day.

I have to admit that when we first arrived and I noticed that Eric had hired Security for this event I thought that things might get a little rough, but these two guys kept everybody at bay and things went really well. LOL. View attachment 99388
