Both new, Both running 101B kart motors and both makin smoke.
Lets see how they cut. Fired the first one in pic off tonight.

Sweet! I want to catch these with my go pro.

Car is all packed up finally -- been at it since about 3:00 when I changed out the tank on my 262 it finally no longer leaks, wireless and camera set to go, 1000' cat-5 wire, battery boxes, dyno setup to work w/ motorcycle brake version, saws. Gotta book hotel room now.

I'll get up early tomorrow and head there so there's plenty of time to dink with the live stream setup.
Need to put an edge on my chains and I'm ready. I should have borrowed red lever 10mm 044 I'm hoping to make mine this summer. Maybe I'll just snag the one @Definitive Dave is bringing -- those saws do like to growl for "stock".

Glad to see Randy made it -- welcome to the Northeast @Mastermind !!!

Cheers.

Is this the new Rep a Ho' thread?

Glad to see that my bestest friend @Mastermind made it safely over the Mason-Dixon line.

Flying to a GTG is so much easier than driving for hours and hours. Less chance of forgetting to bring stuff when all you have is a suitcase.

One of the things I like about this GTG is it's the one time of the year I get to hang around with......................well, "Stihl People". I was always a little leery of that bunch. I mean, how much do we really know about stihl people? Where do they come from? Why are they here? Ya know, my neighbor runs a stihl. He has some buddies that run stihls come over some nights, and they have these mini GTG type things. Being a Husky/Jonny guy I haven't been invited, but ya know, maybe if they knew I had that 041. They run these saws kind of late into the night. Don't really bother me, cause I run saws late sometimes when I'm out in the workshop. But, comes around midnight and there's other eerie sounds from up on that hill. Sometimes amongst the saw noise, I hear screams. Horrible screams followed by ...................laughter! A mighty sinister bunch these stihl people are. But I'm looking forward to seeing a few of you on Sunday.

OK, real reason for the post, now that I have the attention of you stihl heads. Have a couple books that would be interesting to stihl guys. Came with one of our dealer buyouts. Complete set of service manuals covering the 08s-084 era. Includes 038, 056, 076, 090, 084. Looks like they've hardly been used. Also have a book of IPLs covering mostly the same models. Pictures below. This stuff worth anything to someone? Like maybe a case of IPA?

So,

What IPA do I need to bring?

Right now I'm sitting in the back seat of @Cobby08 's truck waiting on his and @Adirondackstihl to get the key for the place we're staying.

I didn't wanna scare none of these northern folk with my Tennessee accent.

From Now On, if you don't mind, would YOU please get the Keys when us'ins check into a place?

It's hard for me to talk on the phone about how to break in to the place we paid for, especially when I'm already explaining to the Border Gestapo why I'm invading New Yak from the North.

There goes my free beer idea.

But media cat doesn't smell like an old saw shop.

I'll take a 12 pack. LOL

Dibs I Said.

What Kind of I Pee, Eh?

 

[hseII]

Anyone got a use for some freezer packs? My wife gets 4 a month with a prescription. They are clean and packed in medical grade packaging. I have a freezer full and rather than throw them away I have been saving them. They are about 9x4 ish. I could bring a grocery bag full if anyone would like some.

Define Flying.

You guys are all full of piss and vinegar tonight! Lol

We haven't even begun to Piss & Vinegar.

I'm bringing extra ice packs for the Stihl owners. Just apply the ice where the Husqvarnas hurt you.

Normally, it's the elbow region, due to way too many pulls on the starter rope.

Also, getting pinched from the jumper cables, but I'm no Electrician.

 

[hseII]

I'll bring my high powered magnet on wheels for the Husky guys. Make finding the screws on the ground easier. LOL

I'm thinking a tarp might be your best option, since they will only be pulled on in a centralized area: below a tailgate should do.
