    Anyone arriving Thursday before 6:00 PM, we've made reservations for dinner at the local restaurant. Italian place with decent food and service.

    I'll bring my non running home lite Menard's special that a friend "gifted" me. Lol

    Honestly, I need to sharpen a few chains for my 6421. Then look at the chain on the ms170 super micro pico to see how bad the nail finding adventure I took it on, ended up

    All right!! Brad did a number on my speedy little 241 a couple of years ago with a 543. He was running the new (at that time) Stihl .325 NK & a 7 pin rim. I switched the 241 from 3/8 Lo Pro (Picco) & 6 pin to a 7 pin rim & .325 NK. It was then pretty even. I might even have come out on top. IDK for sure. I will have the 241 with me!

    I’m bringing my 241 as well, both the 543 and 241 are running 7 pin rims, and the new Stihl .325 NK. I’m bringing some Oregon that I sharpened on the round grinder as well.
