[Paragon Builder]

That's a good wife you have there Chris!

Will she be coming with you?

 

[Paragon Builder]

Got a good load yesterday with some pieces of oak 36" and better! I was looking for some large wood to satisfy the big saws...

 

[mels]

Lookin good, hard to believe it's only a month away

 

[powerking]

...Would love to see that 262!! I did some work to my 254 and would love to compare them....Work been too busy lately and going back and forth to Yale Cancer center for my motherinlaw....havent had time to think......We'll keep Nov 7th on the map!

 

[mels]

Dang that '758G is a torque-monster huh?

Looking forward to hearing some good news about your Mother-in-law, 'king, and hopefully seeing you and checking out some of that old iron of yours!

 

[powerking]

Mels...The 758G has a brand new 1/2" pitch chain on it!! I haven't run it in a while.....We'll have to dust 'er off!

 

[mels]

Roger that!

 

[powerking]

I actually ran it lean a few years ago and I was able to cool her down and get her back running again! Those dam power products motors have that low compression! My wish is to find an AH-81 motor next!

 

[mels]

Dig the old stuff, man. Can't get enough of it.

 

[Mattyo]

I may have to beg the guy that I sold the 262xp to... to see if he'll let me borrow it back for the day haha. Would be fun to run it against a MM'd saw.....i'm sure i'll be eating humble pie afterwards

 

[mels]

Yessir, that old boy knows a few things about building a solid saw!

 

[drf255]

I'll be there. Just booked the cross sound ferry.

Will there be a "buy and sell" corral? Or is that just poor form?

I'm always looking for more saws and have a few I'd like to trade/sell.

 

[mels]

Paid for ferry ticket sure sounds like a commit to be there, looking forward to seeing ya Al.

Buy sell trade lend give-away whatever, it's good. I'll have tags if anyone wants to hang 'em on whatever it is they want to get rid of (no pets, kids or Mother-in-law's though...) If you're looking for something, maybe write up a wanted list on a slab of cardboard and post it alongside your stuff. Bring whatever fits, make sure you have room to take it all Home!

 

[Mattyo]

I'll bring stuff for sale for sure...a corral is a great idea!

 

[MarkEagleUSA]

I'll bring stiff for sale for sure...

A patient that hasn't paid their bill?

 

[Mattyo]

what can I say, i have too much stuff

 

[mels]

Oooof. Did someone say "too much stuff"? Lol

 

[ri chevy]

I am going to try and make this get together. Looking forward to it. Nothing really good to bring, just some stock homeowner saws, and a few splitting mauls.

 

[Mattyo]

Then bring some cash
Who knows what you might come home with!

 

[ri chevy]

LOL. OK.
