Just 2 weeks to go, and I am really looking forward to it. Will be great to be doing something different after 2.5 months of crunching #s 7 days/week!

How are you feeling Jeremy, they get that infection under control? You need to tell them they got to resolve it in "express mode"!

Still leakin a bit Mike

Better it comes out than stays in though.
I had a "wick" in my foot when I had it operated on. Dr put something partly in and partly out and left it like that for a couple weeks. The infection got wicked out. Then Dr took it out and closed it back up. All good since. [emoji106]

King Kong will be coming!!! That is what I have dubbed my big bore 660 (MS 710) that Dr Al did for me.

I guess it is more than a bit ironic that this was my first GTG several years ago, and the first ported saws I ran that knocked my eyeballs out and changed how I viewed chainsaws forever were the ported Smittybilt 660s (one 92 cc and one 99 cc). I am eternally grateful to Jeremy (who first invited me to come) and Bret and Josh who selflessly put their saws in my hands and a grin on my face.

I have not yet run Kong in it's current condition, but it made it's debut at the CT GTG, and Dan will be bringing it to NY.

Kong actually started life as my Flying Tiger, and it ran well with the original Cross P+C. However, the AM piston pin bearing started to go after about 10 tanks (most of it milling Oak + Hickory), so Dr. Al performed some surgery and gave it a big bore cylinder and a Husky piston. Then Al went in again and tweaked things a bit more, further improving performance.

The reports I've received from all who ran it in CT are good, so I'm really looking forward to running it myself in NY. So if anyone else it interested in trying it, it will be there!

I am pretty doubtful at this point. In the process of buying a house in the near future

I am going down leaving Saturday early and staying there until Monday morning and then heading over toward Buffalo to visit with a friend for a time.

I can't wait to get there and not touch a damn saw...

 

[MustangMike]

After 2 + 1/2 months of Tax Prep I'm at the opposite end of that spectrum, BRING EM, I'LL TOUCH EM!!!

 

[MustangMike]

We want to see a MS-462!!!

I’ll take care of that 661 so she doesn’t feel neglected that day. It’s no problem. Really I don’t mind.
