Do I win the Mighty Mite race?

After all, I had the only runner and cut cookies.

ROFL

And: Thanks a bunch to the Hoskeys!

 

[DELETED (Struggle)]

Carl we had two out there running barely, but TALLGUY and I left just as others were coming out to cut. You were tuning the 880 then. We will have to table these races until next year. I'm still down for it.

We ended up with about 465 miles round trip. Thanks to Ron and Mark and their family and friends for everything they do. We need some sunshine and warmth for the next one for sure. Still a lot of fun talking to everyone.

I have a 16ga O/U for the mosquitos. But, too far for geezer day trip.[emoji22]

Thanks again to Mark and Ron and everyone else that worked so hard to put this together. While the rain kept some of us softies from a lot of cutting, we did have plenty of time to visit, exchange highly detailed and technical information, and of course eat breakfast, brunch, lunch, dessert, and then some.

I only took one set of photos of Mark (Hosky) with his new tool box and the starter tools that have been donated so far.

Tool box was delivered by Chet (JetMD) who had to stoop to be included in the photo.

Some things are more important than playing with saws. Just maybe we were all right where we were supposed to be. I had good conversation with you, fishnuts2, heimann, Philbert, and Olyman; and shook hands with a bunch more. I am certain this would not have happened if we were all outside having fun in the sun. Thank you and your family for your effort and your hospitality.

 

[Sarahdodgegeek]

Well said.

 

[old guy]

That's one a them good gas cans under that saw rite there.
