I wish Cody could make it but this is "supposed" to be a big drill weekend. They are going to take their armored heavy equipment and work over a live range area after EOD sweeps it. The Marine Reserves have big changes going on. He may have a new MOS forced on him in the near future or at least a change in where his unit meets. Like it will move from Cali to Warshington state.

Don't they know not to move here????
 
I have two six month old cats who were racing around the house and jumped on the screen of my laptop and bent it backwards breaking it. I didn't know this GTG was happening till today when Gologit asked me if I was coming up. (Been on AS using the iphone). So...yep I will be there. Cody has drill that weekend so he won't be there.

I'll bring my climbing gear but my knees are too shot to climb these days. I will bring a truckload of other gear like ropes, cable, blocks, etc. My truck also has a (small) winch.

I will come up Friday and camp and leave Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Thanks Bob for letting me know about this.

Glad to hear you're coming Bill. Would have liked to see Cody. Also glad that Bob called you. I was operating under the assumption that you and others were getting notifications of replies to this thread (and therefore would see what's shaking here). Should know better than to make assumptions....:bang:

Is Ranger Sandy going to save us some camping spots? We're bringing our trailer and so is Slowp. Don't know about the rest of the guys.

i'm dragin the cargo trailer, so that's three.

I'll call Bruce tomorrow if he doesn't post up here before then. The park isn't exactly busy right now, so it shouldn't be a problem providing spaces for you folks.


Second saw=pack mule/grunt :laugh:

On that subject, haven't heard much from Aaron today.

Sir here I am Sir! Been in the shop filing chains and such.....and then watching the 49'ers lose. I'll be second saw for you. Pack mule/wedge beater/grunt/saw tuner I can handle.:cheers:

Fixed.
 
Once Cody finds out the sun never shines in Warshington he'll probably transfer to the Army. Or Join the Mexican Army. He's a warm weather boy. BTW he turned 20 two days ago.

Well, if he went to the Army, at least they send a big old blue school bus of their people to go skiing here.
Unfortunately, they do that on a weekday and that is a faux pas in my book. But most of them are not good boarders or skiers so stay on the little chair, which also costs less. ;)

Are they going to start up a Marine base? Our state doesn't have any. We do have Whidbey Island NAS and a sub base. No Marine places unless it is super secret.

The Army shares with the Air Force on the Wet side of the state. Maybe the Marines will share too, and do their training in the desert just north of Yakima. That's where the Army goes to practice. It is a hot place in the summer. It is chilly and dreary, in a dry way in the winter.

What General is making this decision? Perhaps I should give him a call and tell him the rules.

Many bases are shared these days. Cody's unit is HQed at Ft Lewis so that is where the 4th LSB (or CSB) may end up.

Yes please call the Comandant of the Marine Corp and tell him Cody's dad doesn't Fizz Rig. He'll know what you mean.

Bad idea. Let's get her down here with the cookies...then she can call the Commandant. Priorities, ya know?
 
OK, Old Sparkless is going to need some help. I couldn't get the cover off to take the bar off. It seems to be stuck. Old Sparkless is loaded in the pickup, bar and all along with the Barbie Saw.

A project!

If Cody has to stay at Ft. Lewis, the skiing is very good here, and we won't make comments about California if we run into him up there.

Tell him to look at the map of the White Pass ski area. it is skiwhitepass.com. That's where the blue bus goes. It looks like a very uncomfortable bus too.

There will be at least two pretty good saw mechanics at N/B. They'll fix it for you. I have an 032 in pieces...want me to bring the clutch cover over?

That reminds me - I have to bring some parts for the saw Bruce bought a while back. Oh, and if you're parting out the 032 and have a muffler cover to spare, I'd be grateful big time. I'm looking forward to seeing you and many of the inaugural GTG crowd and meeting some others. I plan to be there sure on Friday, and on Sunday if there is still work to be done. Saturday I'll need to be at our place in Napa - we're trying to beat back the firs that are shading the garden.
 
We'll get 'Ol Sparkless squared away.

Charlie I'd like to head up to your Napa place sometime if possible. Gotta build up the firewood supply again. Folks from church have cleared me out......even taking the wet oak we cut last fall...
