To wigglesworth and all the people at the GTG, thanks for the good time. The food was good, the people were enjoyable to be around and generous with their saws and their knowledge about saws. To every member that has not attended a GTG, next time you get the opportunity to go to one you need to. Remember to eat plenty of pringles so I can continue to purchase more saws. Hope every one has a safe trip home.

wish I coulda been there, but I was just up the road in Grayson Co. whittling on some sycamore and cedar with the 025. Then spent a few hours bush hogging. Got a tan, and gave Brad a run for the money on the sweating, I'll guarantee!
Hope everyone had a great time.

Guys the last saw was shut down just a few minutes ago.

Im hot, tired and sweaty. Man what a good time!!!

You have no idea.:agree2:



I have to say, even though I had no idea what I was coming to watch, I had a blast watchin yall. Just wish I'da brought my saws.:monkey:

I was too hot, tired, and sweaty to drive home 6 hours. But I'm feeling like a million dollars now that I've had a shower. We had to wimp out and get a motel again tonight.

I'm sure they're still cutting, Brad's probably sweated 55 gallons by now.

That would be an under statement. Imagine me in 105F heat index! I changed shirts at lunch, and wrung my old shirt out, lol.

That's alright. Magnesium looks pretty cool in a bonfire:greenchainsaw:

Jeremy, thanks for hosting a great GTG. We all had a great time. The food was good, and the people great. I've got lots of video, but you won't be seeing it until at least tomorrow night.

Nah, I needed a couple of boat anchors.

And it seems we have infected a new member....Welcome to the forum Chase.

What do you mean no vids....I thought you were feeling like a million bucks now?

And a BIG THANKS to all who came, and all who are still here. I had a blast myself.

I don't have the software on this laptop to offload the videos. Besides, this laptop doesn't have the hp to edit and encode them. Plus don't have enough bandwidth to upload them. Sorry guys

I understand that, just do what you can, when you can.

was worth a shot Mike

I learned something today. A Poulan 4200 absolutely smokes a 245A, even a ported one. They're not even in the same ballpark. Those 4200s just hod RPMs in the wood like CRAZY. Nice saws Mike!!! Those saws turned some heads today.

Ya, a 288xp with a pop-up too!!!! To say I was disappointed with my saw is an understatement, back to the drawing board....
