Thanks to all who came today and helped with cleaning some saws for the display. I believe we had enough to eat...Kwik Star donuts and Casey's pizza...I forgot to put out Mrs. Heimann's brownies so I guess I know what I'll be eating this week.

It wasn't all just cleaing my McCulloch saws for the display, Jacob was showing off his Homelite XL100 circular saw, Steve shared his 240 cc single cylinder Homelite trash pump, and Ron fired up his Homelite XL12 military generator (120V @ 180 Hz). Ron also had a NOS Old Blue.









The usual suspects...



As with any any chainsaw event we ate nutritious food, drank coffee, conducted techinical sessions, and enjoyed a day with magnesium, aluminum, and steel.

I had to take one of my strong painkillers last night
Leg was hurting & throbbing
Most I have driven and on my legs since I’ve been home

 

[I saw a lot]

Take it easy and stay on the mend.

 

[hoskvarna]

Take it easy and stay on the mend.

Oh ya
I needed to get out

 

[sawnami]

Well, I managed to bring the cold weather back with me to Southwest Missouri.
It's great that a group of guys with a common hobby can have a place to meet and share information and experience. It's also great to renew old acquaintances and generate new ones. Many thanks to Mark for offering his museum as a host location this year and for his hospitality.

Can anyone in here run a welfare check on @hoskvarna ? He's gone dark comms in his usual thread haunt.

Much appreciated.

We'll be here when you're ready to get cheered back up some. Hoping for your sake, that'll be sooner than later.

Sorry to hear about this Mark. I knew your leg was banged up but thought it was healing up. Divorce is the chits, I have been down that road & know the depression that can set in. Sending some prayers your way.

 

[Fishnuts2]

^^^^^^^^ What he said.
Prayers up for healing in all areas Mark!
