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

[Cedarkerf]

What? Do you melt in the rain? If it is too warm for raingear, and being CA, it most likely is, take extree clothes to change into. Like, there's a restroom and showers there to do so in. Take extree shoes to change into for the drive home, and put a zillion gloves--making sure that they are for both hands:msp_rolleyes: in a plastic bag to keep them dry. Lightweight fleece is a good thing, except it looks to be SIXTY DEGREES, which we consider to be summer, and I'd be wearing a t-shirt to cut in.

Goodness little campers, will you really melt?

Right now it is 41 outside, a steady rain, not drizzle, and I am thinking of going firewood cutting or at least finishing splitting my last load.

In my case a little rain isn't a problem...getting up the main (dirt) road TO the wood and back down is where things get interesting. Even with 4WD I get very little traction Going up is do-able but coming down with a load (tried it once) is downright scary.

depends on whether or not your up to your acorns in brush .

What if ye don't have Acorns?

don't you have an anchor in the cab? one of my co-workers where comeing down a dirt road on mt. st helena last winter in 4wd parking brake on, in park and it kept sliding down the hill till it went sideways and hooked the rear bumper on a tree and that stopped the truck and the guy was stupid enough to get the truck off the tree and continued sliding down the hill.. with a cliff on one side..

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

been there, done that...changed shorts later.

I have 20 speeds to play with (5sp + dual T-cases, 250:1 crawl ratio) so going slow isn't the issue. But, once you break traction its all over.

Hey Norm...your chains showed up today. You were more than fair and I appreciate it very much. Matter of fact I think I got the better of the deal so when we meet up I'm buying lunch. No arguments.

All the best to you guys. Bob

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Good deal Bob, glad they got there! Glad your happy, really appreciate the handle. Man had the chains in seperate boxes all nice and neat, but akward to ship, so glad it worked in the one box like Aaron suggested. I say spring GTG my friends:biggrin:

Cool. I will available every day except Saturday the first till noon and I will also be gone Sunday afternoon. Mommy and Daddy have to take Cody to the USMC Reserves for his monthly training. During the week is better for me.

 

[sawfun9]
