Hi Rick, You might have seen me and my cousin Paul at the logging congress with our mac hotsaws a few times. This would be a fun time. Our macs don't keep up to your saws, but it's fun to make some noise with them. Would you be doing a hot or cold start in the events? My PS5100 should be broken-in by then, and I have a sweet little minimac for the mini contest. John B., the s44 hotsaw is still in a box! A couple vintage classes would be great, maybe 5.0 and under, and 5.0 and up?

if anyone would be kind enough to PM or email me the details on when and where I'm going to be coming for sure. just give me the details.

 

[HELSEL]

We are looking for some dates to put this GTG on.We are thinking May?

[Gypo Logger]

Rick, will you be planning on any large wood classes? Like 20" stuff and up. I think that's more fun than the small stuff. I really liked it when I blew up TFJ's 084 in Caif. even though he was nice enough to let me use it.
Hahaha

[HELSEL]

Yes One guy from the west coast called and wanted big wood. and EJ has two bike saws so yes we will have big wood.


Rick

C'mon Scott, I keep waiting for you to finish that S44 up to give me some inspiration to do mine. I still have the 1-51 going. I think I'll have to wander out to the barage and put something back together so I have another really good reason to go and at least something to play with up there. Yeah I would like to see some of those old mac kart saws show up, what a hoot to watch.

 

[klickitatsacket]

I think we have 3 or 4 from the PNW. We are looking at van pooling out.

 

[smithm]

Hey Rick, This is a question from a previous thread. Who do you sell logs to up there?

 

[McC]

Well John, this could be inspiration for me to get it done. Anyone have rings for a super 44? That's about all I need to finish it. klickitatsacket, it would be fun to run against Macs from the west coast. Guess I'll have to put on a longer bar and buy a chain for it.

[HELSEL]

Thanx Rick

Interested party here

If the chosen weekend works in my schedule, I'd be very interested to make the gathering. Its about three hours from home, and much less from my camp so I'd have convenient lodging. It certainly would be fun to meet some of the personalities from this discussion board and run a few of my McCullochs there.
