[AT] Gene and the LA on the sawmill

[Gene Dotson]

    Dean;

    Thanks for posting the picture and video. Was nice to have a chance to 
visit with you.

    We finished the sawing Saturday about 4:30pm. The saw ran very well this 
year and except for one broken belt, all went well. Tractor ran well, except 
for getting about 1.5 gallons of water and sediment from the gasoline tank 
furnished at the show. Got that all cleared up and was fine for the rest of 
the show.

    Case had a pretty good showing as the feature tractor with some unususl 
tractors and implements. Was a very enjoyable show.

    I came home this morning with the motor home, little tractor and golf 
cart. Will go back this afternoon for the LA.

    John.

    Dean is right on about the holes around the blade. They help cool the 
blade and more importantly, prevent warpage and wobble in the blade. No 
problem at all with the blade and no foreign objects in the logs.

                        Gene
