Not too bad, but haven't heard from the shop yet.

Those 21st BD bashes are a lot of fun. Be careful, and we'll see you Saturday.

I'm definitely up for some Mil-spec patties!

That reminds me - anyone interested in buying a Poulan Wild Thang chainsaw for a good price?

I bet it's better than new! Used a bottom bracket bearing socket that had an interference fit with the cylinder, and I even got the frame mounting holes machined back into the weld zone.

I don't won't to buy one, but I'd be glad to watch you demo it this weekend. I'll even film a sale video for you.

Bring it. I'm not sure how much splitting I want to do, but cutting it to length would be nice.

Mike, is there any lazarsmith experimental 4-links layin around the shop? I'll test it out for you!

It looks like we're going to have have a pretty good turnout. Looks like about 20 or so between Friday and Saturday.

Those of you that have been there know where the old septic lines and tanks are that can't be driven over. All of you new guys will need to stay on the road until I point you in the right direction.

I know most of you guys and know that you are like a bunch of teenagers, so I'll remind everyone again:

* Bring a chair.
* Bring your snacks and food you might want and drinks.
* If you spending the night, don't forget to bring whatever makes you comfortable.
* Some people say I have chiggers out there. I've never seen one or been bitten, but if you are "chiggerdly" inclined, but bring some repellent.
* It's about 10 miles to the nearest town and 15 to the nearest parts store.

If I forgot something....ask.

Might be time to break out the stakes and flagging Charlie. We may have to rope off designated parking areas.

BTW, I'll bring my 10'x10' EZ-Up in case we need to make shade for any projects. Assuming the wind ever dies down....
