Pacific Northwest GTG June 10th-12th

[Gologit]

For a couple of months now it was mention that I was going to be invited to a wedding. The invite arrived this week. June 11th So now I'm in between a rock and a hard place. I really wanted to make this GTG. Now ????????

Easy choice...go to the GTG. The food is better and you don't have to dress up.

Aaron... I am gonna keep the old jug... just in case. But I might change my mind between now and then.

Gary

10-4 mang.

Using the oversize rings and sizing them to fit is not a big deal. In fact I have a set of the .020" over rings I'll offer to Gary if he can't find standard rings and then he can just file-to-fit.

The 797 short block is not up for grabs. I only offered it to Gary since he took it in the shorts on the original deal for the 795. I have a whole line of members here wanting running 797s as it is.

Thanks for the ring info Jacob. That opens things up a bit. As for the 797 short block.............well you can't blame me for trying...:jester:

With all this SWAP talk I sure hope we are going to find a little time to really "Play Chainsaw"!
Also......Don't forget that there are still a few piles on the barn floor that need to be given new homes!............Bob

I think we'll have plenty of time for socializing Bob. Swappin' only takes a few minutes once folks meet up. The fun starts afterwards. You can't blame us for wanting to gather parts for project saws saws so that we can "play chainsaw" with them next year. You can bet I'll be willing to help you clear out your barn floor!

Easy choice...go to the GTG. The food is better and you don't have to dress up.

Truer words have never been spoken Bob.

Not true. You need to wear pink, shiny shoes.

I slaved over a hot stove today, and trashed the kitchen--even the floor, to make this. I'll taste test it and it will go to the GTG if it passes quality control.

That looks like it should have a HAZ-MAT placard on it! Now go clean up the kitchen. Wear gloves.

***drool***

It might have a bit of a bite to it. I don't follow the recipe and it has double the jalepenos and I replace the regular pepper with cayenne.
So, if prone to heartburn from spicy foods, do not eat.

The floor can wait till tomorrow. That's why we have slippers.

That looks good! Throw in some habanero for good measure

And Zantac for dessert? C,mon boys and girls...food should not hurt.

Jalepenos are enough. We are people of the north and this is daring enough for us.

That's a fact mang!

Spicy = good

Painfully hot = no good.

Hot is different for different people. I'll try to make a mild batch too. Not for a while. I just cleaned up the wreckage from yesterday's work. It is good to have a small kitchen--less to trash and less to clean up. There were no explosions this time.
Salsa on the ceiling is hard to clean up.

Camping

Hey Farley, I tried to PM ya and your box is full. Is there still space avail for me to tent camp? Sat. nite only? Thanks, here's to dry weather in June

 

[Farley9n]

Camping? No Problem!

Plenty of room for all types. No electricity, some water and two "BUCKS".....No waiting.
Now the weather, that's another question! Was good last year but we have a saying here in Oregon......If you don't like the weather, wait a minute!
I don't see that my PM box is full so try again for more detailed information.
Now you swap meet guys.......I was at a local saw shop and they have some older NOS Husky stuff, cylinders, tanks, cranks, and, crankcase for 266, 272 and so forth along with some big old Mac carcasses that I will throw in the pick up and bring out for sale cheap.
This is Shaping Up!!!!...........:msp_smile:

 

[dieselsmoke]

Mac Carcasses, and cheap, and camping, and dry weather, wow, life couldn't get any better. All I need is a tent site, and parking for one 'ol dodge pickup. I'll try the PM again.

 

[RandyMac]

Yeah, dry and warm, looking forward to it. We picked up 1 1/2 inches of rain since 0430, still pissin' down.

Sounds great to me! There will be room in the truck for Mac carcasses. Husky NOS stuff eh? I may end up with a 'rebuilder' 257, and would be happy to get a 262XP jug and slug for it if I do...

I'll need a spot for a tent and an old diesel Ford pickup. I have a 12'x12' easy-up awning I could bring for extra outdoor saws-n-stuff shelter too.

 

[dieselsmoke]

Definitely looking forward to this event, and meeting everyone....

 

[slowp]

The salsa is what I would call mild, but I put medium on the jar lids.
I'll make some more later and try to get more of a bite to it.

wife and i cant make this one


i looked last year at this and though how cool would this be, this year same event happening on the same weekend conflict, grrr.

the wife was really intrigued, she was in the Forestry Competition stuff here in high school. I told her about what this was about and showed some of the pics from last year, needless to say I think I will have to organize an east side Oregon GTG. hopefully a post coming soon!!
