Sorry guys I won't be able to make it this time. Leaving for Egypt later today and just getting back in time for the UNI football game on the 17th (Mrs. Heimann insists I attend with the family).

Just send that orange colored saw to me and I will find some place to use it, prop up a corner of the woodpile or something like that...

Sound like a good use for that saw since it's not yellow or blue... :yes:

Also a bummer you're not coming I had a free box of Mac goodies for you Mark... Maybe Mitch will appear and I can squeeze that box into the itty bitty trunk of whatever car he drives down here.

That's a pity, I've been putting aside McCulloch goodies for you instead of throwing them away.

Hello, I'm fairly new to the AS community. I was curious if your GTG is open to newcomers or is it more of a closed affair?

Well, I'm not sure if I'll be able to find the time just yet, but it sounds like a good time. Is there any rough schedule of events?

Morning Fella's, welcome aboard Flash.

I would say that schedule of events would go something like this:
Show up
Drink coffee
talk about the virtues of saw brand x over y
eat
Drink coffee
talk about chain filing square vs round, if lucky Mike demonstrates his chain vise and has an extra for sale.....Matt gives
pointers on sharpening a race chain (I need help with that)
eat
Drink coffee
compare bar length of what you brought (Clint and Nate) would be able to expound on this I believe :envy:
cut cookies, adjust H, L and Idle speed of several saws
eat
Drink coffee
try other members saw, run vintage and new saws you have never had the chance to run anywhere else
continue to meet members throughout the day, and then hope you can remember 25% of their name in 30 days
not just their AS handle
Finish all remaining pie, cookies, other sweets
Drink coffee
Exchange phone numbers, buy a used saw (or trade) leave sometime that day or night with an overall
Great feeling having spent the day with some of the most Honest, Hardworking and Intelligent people you will find.
I personally fit the first 2 categories, am vastly lacking in the 3rd.
I might have forgotten a couple step along the way, but you get the general idea.
