Hi Mike,
         Boy that's a good looking saw cart, but the engine really looks 
like hell! Given the condition of the engine do you think it will ever look 
as good as the cart? The pictures were appreciated! I take for granted that 
the rig will be ready for Portland. Have you asked anyone close to Portland 
to line up some wood for sawing?
