Let me seeee, what was the name of that area I lived in? Oh yeah, Oak Bottom. And it wasn't named for the oaks you cut for firewood...:msp_rolleyes:

and thats what happens if you use poison oak as toilet papper...

at lest your not allergic to cotton wood like me, i break out like i rolled in oak and can you guess what kind of tree i have in my back yard i have to trim every year..
i've been threating to cut it down for years but the tree always wins..:mad:
 
that tree was a peach

Yes it was. It ate the bar on the 372XP that Tyler's running there (as he was underbucking, about a minute after that pic was taken)..........and later tried to grab my SP-81. The old Mac just growled and shook it off however.....:D

OMG! The forecast is for a heat wave there. Temps in the 60s and the sun decal is shown. I WILL pack my shorts. I'll shed the longjohns. Maybe I should throw all my clothes in and air them out. We are in mildew city right now here in the Wetside of Warshington.

Positively tropical. Been my experience that it's either HOT there or cold. Because of the canopy, sunlight doesn't hit us much. On cool/cold days there's always a cold breeze blowing through. Bring the warmer clothing for the evenings...

Thanks for the heads-up on the poison oak. I break out in a rash just thinking about that stuff.

Did you get it after the GTG Bob? You walked through some of it when you bucked those logs up in that draw...
 
We're still aiming for the second weekend of Feb. My memory sez you're a climber with gear. Am I correct?

I had to delete all the PM's from back before the GTG (for space).........and I can't remember your first name. Would you please refresh my memory? I'd like to know what to say when I'm greeting you next week.:D


Looks like my memory was faulty (once again). Chris (Singinwoodwackr) has informed me that he isn't a climber, but has a good supply of gear for bulling (including a winch equipped pickup). Do we have any climbers coming out to play?:D


adding my Technu to the pile of things to bring...love that stuff :D

The park has heated coin-op showers in single-occupancy rooms (usual state park stuff) if you wish to strip/decontaminate there. I'm bringing a bag of quarters....:D

OK, an important question. Do I need to bring Old Sparkless to defend the ownership of the orange chaps?

Things are going well. My pickup is in good health. The Pointy Trailer seems to be OK except for the brakes must've gotten a little rusty. They were squealing, but less with each push of the brake.

Bring both Barbie and Sparkless if you have the room. You brakes probably did indeed get some orange fuzz from sitting in your PNW climate. They'll clear up with some use methinks. I'd wager they're the simple electronic/magnetic type.
 
accept when there's b-que around.:msp_wink:

Oooh, I had erased that from my memory banks. To those who were not there, at the LaPine gathering, The Used Dog was not leashed, and wandered over to where the barbecuing had been done, pulled down an empty, but greasy pan, and cleaned it. Then he was very disobediant--crawled under the trailer hoping I'd leave him so he could return to the barbecue area. My temper was lost and I dragged him out and shoved him into the trailer. He is a pacifist dog and believes in nonviolent protest so it was very hard to shove 80 pounds of dog dead weight into the trailer.

He was a little bit sick the next day.
 
The plan is shaping up, I'm happy to say that Annie wants to come with me. We most likely will be using her wagon, so that will make for an easier, more comfortable and faster trip.
