    Nice saw. I picked one up at the dealer last week (held...not buy) and it was a lot lighter than I expected. When are you sending it to the monkey to vet bananas and playdough installed?

    The GTG was a great time! It was good to finally meet Dex, Maulhead, & others from various sites who attended. Will we be able to remember everyone, nope, but we will a few & each year a few more.

    If you haven't been able to make it to an charity cut or GTG, please do. Lots of great folks with simular interests, great times!

    The Oakfest sign was done a few years back by Chad/Lumberjackchef (AS). He has been faithfully attending area GTGs holding carving exibitions.

    Up coming events in the Midwest as I know. Please feel free to correct me as needed.

    May 8/9th: Cabool's Older Iron Show Cabool, MO 65689 POC - AWOL
    - Chain saw racing - Cancelled

    May 16th: Waukee Charity Cut Waukee, IA 50263 POC - Sam-Tip (SW Des Moines, IA)

    Sep 19th: Wigg's Western Kentucky GTG Murray KY 42071 POC - Wigglesworth
    - Chain saw racing
    - Husky 385/Jonsered 2186 build off contest

    Sep 27th: FT Scott's Pioneer Days Ft Scott, KS 66701 POC - Lumberjackchef
    - Chain saw racing
    - Chain saw carving exibition (Chad/Derrick)

    Note: Wiggs graciously moved his GTG forward 1 week this year to prevent conflict with FT Scott's Pioneer Days as several members of AS are helping to promote chainsaw racing at this event. We really appreciate this generous gesture!

    Hedgefest, Carthage, MO - End of Oct/first part of Nov, - To be announced at a later date.

    Now that Wiggs GTG is a different weekend, I am likely attending that one as well.

    Friday and Sat morning were bad. But by about 11 am, the rain stopped and we all had a great time!!

    100% stock. Will be that way for some time. A muff mod will be done down the road. But that will be with an extra front cover to do testing.

    Even though the 661 isn't nearly as choked as the 660 was from the factory, you will be very happy opening up your muffler. I cut with mine stock and opened it up, what a difference. I hope to meet you at Jeremys Dex.

    Dex,


    In over 25 years of pheasant hunting in Iowa, I am pretty familiar with the roads. It looks like you were on a level "B" minimum maintenance road. It plainly states, "Enter at your own risk".

    Am I correct???????:rofl: :lol:

    Nice 661 BTW!:thumbs:

    I am not sure of the Level, but I do know that several of the roads we traveled there were soft. Very soft..

    We (Jrsdws and myself) came Friday evening around 5pm. So it wasn't to bad. But after 14 hrs of more rain, by 7am when others started to arrive, it was terrible.
