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

Somehow, I bounced back from that a lot faster. Must be the power of horsepower or something. Also, driving.

Are saying you were hung over from SATURDAY NIGHT? You did drink a little Bulliet rye that night.

When I retired on Sunday night, I heard the statement about a beer run was needed. When I got up early, on Monday morning it looked like a beer run had been made from the number of empties around chairs. I was cussing and thinking somebody local left their pickup parked which was blocking me in and when I opened the door to see if keys were left in the ignition, a body sprang up. So it was not a local. I do apologize for the rude awakening but, I wanted to leave and get an early start.

2dogs, can I send you my address and reimburse you for mailing my big dogs fleece here? Or save it if you promise to go to the Farley GTG in Orygun where you can bring it along.

Exactly right! I was getting directions to the restaurant where I met Randy and Annie for lunch.

Note that I was most of a day behind due to a scorching hangover that made progress Monday slow and painful. I only made it as far as Eureka, and that took until after dark. Oh well, that's what vacations are for.

I took a drive around 200 miles a day unless the weather was really nice in which case I would find a camping spot earlier vow. No nice weather but I did have a beach with a dead seal on it all to myself. I also found, in the pickup console, an ancient Fred Meyer fuel card which is still good!

 

[2dogs]

PM me your address and I will mail it to you.

There it is!

Also, dang but somebody needs to restore that engine. That thing is cool.

I think I have a mild eruption of poison oak on an arm. It appeared two days ago. Must not be immune anymore? I suspect the Demon Dog was the host.

Unfortunately, I was unable to be in two locations at once. I had two choices for that weekend. Either, the GTG at Napa or camping in the High Sierra. I opted for camping in the Sierras because it could have been my last opportunity to camp at high altitude before winter snowfall.

Mini gtg tomorrow. At Bothe, Sunday Jan 15. Aaron and I are bucking a black oak that fell near the pool. No big deal just a little get together, sorry for short notice, there are a lot more down trees up the trails if anyone is into hiking a bit.... I'll have food and beer for after. Hope the locals can make it!!!!

 

[madhatte]

That's gonna make some fine firewood, I reckon. Looks like a good time. Have fun!

Count me in. Is it safe to say you won't start before 9 AM?

 

[tylerbeach3]

You know me too well Charlie! Aaron will be here around 11, I just got back from 6 hours of cutting down trees up the trails. I dulled 6 saws so it'll take me a bit to sharpen up tomorrow morning, I should be at the shop round 10.

Yup. Chipper is still down so everything , including the little canopy stuff, will be firewood.

 

[atpchas]

Tyler, if you like, I can throw my chain grinder as well as saws into the Prius. Is it all 3/8 pitch?

 

[tylerbeach3]

That would be awesome!!! Yes please!

 

[Bob95065]

Wish I could make it. Sounds like fun.

 

[tylerbeach3]

All 3/8th.
