Pacific Northwest GTG (June 12-15, 2015)

[Farley9n]

Now that the Blues brothers have come and tried out for our Pacific Northwest GTG we can get back to the more serious stuff of getting ready! We already have quite a bit of 24" and less Fir but still need to pick up some 36" to 48" and over for the "Drones" to spend an afternoon getting through! I also am in hopes that there will be some other demented souls (Wild Thing builders) who will try and wrest the PNW GTG Wild Thing Championship from my aged grasp! Here are some guide lines for an aspiring builder. These are more "should bees" than hard fast rules: ( 1- stock bore and stroke 42cc or less Poulan engine, can have a removable head. ( 2 - regular Wild Thing body, either solid or spring mount. (3 - can be a strato or regular type engine. ( 4 - any exhaust including pipes. ( 5 - any carb set up as long it fits into the normal body of a Wild Thing. (6 - any fuel, alky, nitro ,or NOX and even regular gas. (7 - any bar and chain combo size wise but NO RACING CHAINS. (I can't file one worth a xxxx) Stock Chain Only!......More To Come

Husky 41 not eligible then?

 

[sawfun]

Troll says its a Poulan. Its under 42cc.

My little brother Husky 36 will be watching.

 

[paccity]

so this is out i guess.

 

[Farley9n]

Bring it Fraser! We can race! I have one just like it. I ported it years ago and covered the job in Race Saws under the heading Resto Rocket. I get it out at the GTGs and run it a bit but it hasn't drawn much attention. Yours looks a little familiar!

 

[Farley9n]

Oh! As far as the Husky 41 & 36 are concerned....Not being TRUE "Wild Things" they would have to go into the "OUTLAW WILD THING" class and face Nate!!! Good luck with that!

Ben wants to get a driving lesson from Chase.

Remind me to park out of harm's way. I can picture Ben and Chase careening away from the BBQ area............a big greasy pan of meat and drippings in the back of the golf cart...

SQUIRREL! Except Ben isn't a squirrel dog. It would be the grease or BALL!

Hi All! Been a while since any PNW post in all forums but we are still working to get ready for yet another memorable time! Saturday the barn gets most all the electrical done. Lights, plugs and so forth. I have been picking up in addition to some more saws (CAD) some decorative items in order to add a bit of crass or is it class to the place. As far as wood, we have plenty of the 24" and under and a few bigger pieces already to be placed. However we still are lacking a really big chunk or two for the "Bar Envy" club. As for the Chase school of driving.....He may have his paws full this year as Shannon have gotten another ding bat of a dog, koda, a female cross between an Aust. Shep. and those blonds that jokes are made from!.....More to come.....Bob

Ahchoo! Been cleaning my shop and deciding what to throw out. I have started a rubbermaid container of stuff to give away and I'll try to remember to bring it. Some of it I have no idea what it is for. It came with the shop, but it looks newish. There's some little welding thingies in a little case. They look like root canal screws. Ick!

 

["T" n "Me"]

Sorry folks.... Chase has lost his license. In addition, he was banned from teaching other dogs any new tricks at all. Perhaps Ben could teach him about those greasy pans and BBQ drippings..... They could fill Chases back packs!

 

["T" n "Me"]

This one is trying to be for the wild thing races........... We shall see.......

 

[Farley9n]

Well the first work crew is history! We had a great time, getting a lot done and having fun at the same time! Those of you who remember the leaning Cottonwood will have the opportunity to zip through it as 10" Cants. We also took down an Incense Cedar and a small Ashe. Their fates are as yet unknown. In addition to getting the trees down and loaded for "T"'s mill we cleaned up the southeast play field and some of the northwest area. Also set up a bunch of logs, tried out some saws, emptied some cans and bottles, and checked to see if the BS/Fountain at the fire pit still functioned.

 

[Farley9n]

Remember the PNW GTG is going to be from the 12th to the 16th of June. For information just PM me and you will direction, phone numbers and whatever you need to get you and your "STUFF" here! We have LOTS of room for camping, RVs or what ever. Also this year with the new upstairs in the barn you can camp indoors! ( stair stings are worse than nettles ). More to come as we close in on the dates!

Looks like you guys had a great day. I'm pondering the thought of testing out the acoustics in the barn with my snoring......

That's a rough looking crew.

You could call your new annex, a hostel. Yesterday, I finally vacuumed out all the oak leaves that were in the Pointy Trailer's cargo box. It has new tires and is ready to go.
Now, for youse guys, would you prefer a home baked but not as fresh huckleberry pie? Or a dutch oven cooked one like I did at Napa? I think I can repeat the latter.

I need to put the secret chain back on Old Sparkless and see if he starts. He's leaked oil all over the shop table. I guess that happens with age.

Yes.

Old Sparkless will start. Bob doesn't stand a chance......
