Nor Cal & North SF Bay GTG (November 11-14, 2022)

[ckelp]

At most GTGs I just eat and fart. Questions would be a fun distraction. :hmm3grin2orange:

especially about a little 026 that i got that only had a tank of gas though it:biggrin: and it was just apart on the bench:cool2:

 

[thomas1]

You California guys could shake to change outta your couches and spring for a plane ticket for me.

I'll bring a couple of saws in my carry on.

Fold them emu legs up tight, I bet you could get in a flat rate box.

it lest i'd would have been nice enough to dump out the gas on the asphalt in the parking lot and idle it dry before stuffing it next to my wifes undies:wink2:

well today we had are meeting, the normal mind numingniss anyhoo
sense this is the first GTG we are still winging it so bear with us

1) PM aaron if your going to being an rv so we can figure out where we'are going to put you...
2) killing two birds with one stone: sense it's open to the public and and we don't want some random person picking up someone saw and running it or worse. so we need to be able to identify each other aswell as park volunteers. the park would like a injury waiver from us: what we are thinking of doing is having t-shirts, sign waiver pay bear minimum for a short about $10...
3) it appears that we are ok for the swap meet
4) no hot saw races, at lest for the first GTG
5) we are trying to do some living history, we'are aiming for about ww2 technology so if you have period correct clothing and whiling to do some demonstrations that would be a big plus. and it will also help up us get the ok for next years GTG..

i probably missed about a 1000 things also meals, it's still a little bit up in the air..
and hears some pics of the park

OK Folks.

Roll Call!

We're getting down to the wire, and need to get a better idea of who's going to be at the event, and what their 'needs' are. Post up in the thread whether you're coming to the event, and PLEASE send me a Private Message (PM) me with answers to the following questions.

1)What's your "real" name?

2)Are you going to be running saws (whether your saws or those that belong to others)? I'm guessing most folks will be answering "yes" to that one...

3)Are you going to be bringing saw/logging related stuff for the swap meet area?

4)Will you be camping on site (instead of staying elsewhere)? If so, what nights will you be staying? Friday night, Saturday night, or both?

5)If yes to #4......what type of camping will you be doing (tent, trailer, RV)..........and if using a trailer or RV what's the size of said trailer or RV?

6)Again if yes to #4, how many vehicles will you have with you? FYI-additonal NON towing/towed vehicles (not a dingee towed behind your RV or the vehicle pulling your trailer) require an additional $8 fee.

7)If tent camping, are you going to want your own space, or would you like to pitch your tent in the 'group area'?

Is there something real to cut? Or is it a cookie cutting affair?

for most of us it will be a cooke cutten event..
we're trying to get the ok have some of the ol' timers (like randymac cough cough) drop some trubble trees there are some serious leaning, cat faced and root pullen' sob's and do it on video:msp_biggrin:

 

[Gologit]

I'm planning on being there. Will it be held rain or shine? Broc Luno said something in an earlier post about wanting some authenticity... there's nothing much more authentic than gritting up and cutting in the rain. :msp_wink:

 

[ckelp]

i'm thinking it will be rain or shine to be 100% sure we would have to ask bruce

it would be more fun if it was if it was drizzling...

 

[mile9socounty]

Hooray beer!

 

[Eccentric]

Thanks to those folks that have PM'd me your info. To those that haven't checked in yet........................get 'er done please. We're still figuring details out, and some of them depend on knowing approximately how many people will show.........and how many folks will need camping spaces (and what types of spaces).

I still have a buncha PM space...................but if a large group PM's me while I'm at work and my PM box fills up..............PLEASE go to my profile and leave me a visitor message so I know who to contact once I've cleared space in my PM box. We're also sorting out the 'group food' ideas. Hopefully Bruce will chime in soon regarding that issue. I believe we are a go rain or shine too.

 

[RandyMac]

I still have a few variables to work out, got a busy month ahead, October too.

I love that clip!!! Awesome the way he starts it with the wrapper on the bar, and it just flies off. Is that a CP125 or an SP125 with the muffler guard removed?

 

[Skyhorse]

Cake?

Anyhooo.. I registered on the site and can read your propoganda now. Is this the logging..er forrest practices group get together over at the park?

We can talk about bringing a cat over at the next go-round. It would be nice to deck a few logs so folks can run the saws. I like the idea's for food and drink, I'll be bringing over the family and we'll help out.
I do wish the 'real' history of the place was better common knowlege. I volunteer to be the ' Cultural Recource Represenitive' We can tour the skidder decks, logging roads, still and brothel sites.

Is there anyone with an old logging truck in the area or some old steam or gas engines? I love to see old machinery:msp_thumbup:

Bacon Apple Pie......that makes my eyes, and mouth water at the same time.

My Daughter In Law made me some cookies, and beef jerkey for Fathers Day. The cookies were Peanut Butter, with chopped up honey roasted peanuts, toffee pieces, and crumbled bacon. Yeah she's held in high regard. She makes all of the birthday cakes in our family as well. She made us a Blueberry Pie that was the best Blueberry Pie I've ever had, and her Apple Pie I learned is a suitable breakfast food.............Did I mention that I like Pie?
