    Here are a few pics I took. Feel free to move this thread later Mods.

    Had a wonderful time. Thanks to Swags and his wife (and girls) for hosting the event.

    I'm not sure who had more fun, my son or me. Thanks for allowing kids to attend, this will be a memory he never forgets. He couldn't stop talking about Scotty climbing the tree and was checking out climbers, harnesses and ropes in the Baileys catalog last night!

    Great meeting everyone, truly a great group of guys (and ) gals. Sorry I had to leave in a hurry, but my son had been full go since 6 am and had hit the "wall".

    Two different trees in my pictures, the top one is the maple from the side yard and the second one is the pine that Scotty limbed and dropped.

    I was pumped to meet you and your son Bryan! Glad you came and that 346 was sweet! What a great lil saw, XPG model too. I really enjoyed the 254XP too, light and strong, just the way we like 'em!

    Looks like some good women there too. Not complaining but supporting their men in what they love. Great pics. Keep 'em coming. Was that Scotty in the harness set to climb that tree?

    For those of us who weren't able to attend, it would be nice to have some names to go with the photos. Wish it would have been closer.

    Pleasure meeting you as well. My only regret is not being able to sit around the fire and shoot the breeze after the saws were done..... too much to do and too little time.

    Thanks for the compliment on the saws, the 254 will be for sale shortly (promised honeyfuzz first shot after he gets well). Your 261 was an awesome saw as were the 441's. I learned I need to get a get together chain!

    Tore the PP 330 down yesterday and sure enough, the vent had fallen out. Replaced it and drilled a hole on the front baffle of the muffler. Totally different saw that no longer leaks fuel. Funny how good it cuts, even with a POS vanguard chain.

    Here's a little vid of Scotty dropping a big Sugar Maple in Swags backyard.



    And yes, that is my MS441 running a 32" full comp bar and chain. :cool::saw:

    Wow! A 441 can run a bar that long??? I guess yours is modified for more power.
