Buckley Update

It was damn near a dissaster for the first day, in stock saw I pulled the starter rope out of the spool. In Modified hotsaw (double ender) I am in 1st and the Unlimited Hotsaw I made maybe the worst cut of my life and we are in 2nd place with about 4 tenths to make up today. (almost impossible to make up)
Wrenched my back so damn bad I am wondering if I can lift today or not but I immagine I have one more in me this weekend.

Roger should be posting some pics as he stopped by and took numerous pics and visited, great guy he is. The weather is pushing 100 degrees which is very rare for around here and is beating everybody up pretty good.

I'll post some pics when I get them downloaded.

Log show

O.K. I am slacking. Finaly found my camera again for the 5th time this year and will start downloading vids and pics. I just need to get a few more thumb drives so I can send them from work instead of home ( good old dial-up) anyway, here is a small log from the Amboy territirial days log show this last weekend. Roger, rbtree should have some great shots from the Buckley show as well as Amboy, so feel free to post away Roger.

What's up with the guy cutting the log laying on another log? What event is that?

 

[Cedarkerf]

Obstacle pole bucking. They race to the log run up it start the saw make two cuts shut th saw of and race back to the start. Several shows around here run this event.

 

[Paul B]

first time I saw that I thought they were nuts! no PPE sprinting up the pole, drop start the saw and make two cuts at your feet as you bend over awkwardly then run back down the pole and touch the bottom, hopefully they turn the saw off as the start running back !

There is a mark on the log where saw can be started and has to be shutoff.

 

[Paul B]

[MasterBlaster]

I was wondering what was up.
