    No Chuck wasn't sure if the weather would be good enough to fly it so he didn't bring it and I don't blame him. We got lucky for sure it was to be a rainy day.

    Here is the bullet that Leadfarmer was talking about. Redfin and I cut this log at the corner of our farm and the neighbors farm. When he counted the rings there were 98 from the bullet hole to the edge of the log.

    A few pics of the vintage Stihl 041AV saw that I built for the GTG raffle. It's basically a brand new saw. Thanks to Earl764 for graciously donating the saws that I used to build it!

    My stainless 25 gallon kettle set up to cook corn on the cob. Yes, we had corn on the cob already. And it was delicious, as was ALL of the food!

    I think a few guys do, but I'm not sure exactly who. I completely tore it down, replaced the crank seals, piston rings, gaskets, fuel filter, air filter, complete carburetor rebuild, Tygon fuel and impulse lines, built a custom dual port muffler with polished stainless steel tips.......it was hard for me to part with it!

    But it was worth it, it made some money to give Chris's family for all their hard work making this GTG happen!

    I think I speak for everyone in saying we had a blast, and I, for one, cannot wait to do it again!

    A big thank you to all who showed up, and a VERY big thank you to Chris's family for all the hard work and planning they put into the event. I consider them and many of you all here extended family....
