Pacific Northwest GTG (June 12-15, 2015)

Hey Bob....

Can you recommend some good motels in your area? Better still, what are good ones to stay away from?

Thanks.

Hi Bob! The first choice in Motels would be The Village Inn, it's fairly close, clean, and reasonable. Even has a nice restaurant. Those that have stayed there like it. Just north on I-5 from the 194A turn off are several more motels because of the shopping center, airport and major hospital nearby. We are an easy trip from these also. In the Eugene area near the U of O (duckville) there are also plenty of motels. The ones to stay away from are the Main Street, Springfield, motels! However, be sure to read the user ratings from these for a good time! No trailer this year??? As far as the Farleyville Fair Grounds go, there has already been and will be even more done since the last GTG. This years weather has been good too us. We have also had some fun visits and are looking forward to several new faces........More too come.

Getting closer to being ready for a GTG. Just installed a 7-pin trailer connector inside the bed of my pickup for my portable 3-way refrigerator.

Well we are about eight weeks out from the 2015 version of the Pacific Northwest GTG. Are You Ready ??? We are getting there! Left overs from the Bunny Days are gone, Taxes filed & Paid, tractor brakes and steering fixed, shop a bit cleaner, new wood lined up, shower up dated with a higher flow heater, shack painted, target area cleaned up and a new fence along that side! We have even had some great visits from members and some non members! I have a few more saws and a couple more motorcycles. Made a couple WILDTHING changes and got a bit more power and speed. Still lots more to do and some work crews to plan but as I said..........WE ARE GETTING THERE!!!!

Getting there as well. One 101 powered junkyard dog is currently available. Jeff won't get to come and I'll drive the F150 instead of the Ranger so I have some room for some additional saws as well.

So what goes on at a GTG? And when is the new one?

 

[Farley9n]

Hi RJ ! What goes on??? Best way to explain would be for you to come and see, but in the meantime you could go back through the previous years of GTG's covered here on A/S and/or join the Facebook page ( Pacific Northwest GTG ) for years of pictures and some videos.

 

[Farley9n]

There is more to the answer but have been timed out with a server error.....Back later.....Bob

Eat, BS, run a saw, BS, eat, look at a saw, BS, eat, talk about saws, sit by the fire, eat, BS...

I think that just about sums it up.

And be sure to wear hearing protection from loud saws and all.

I'll check the calendar.

As posted on our Facebook page ( Pacific northwest GTG ) we will be having a work crew on the first week end of May in order to get some things done in prep for the GTG. Not sure at this time of the exact tasks but you can be sure it will be fun and good practice for the GTG itself. Of course there will be some time to work on our Beer/BS skills. Newbies welcome! Also if you are a bit or more musical remember there is the GTG Kerf Theater and Ball Room upstairs from the chainsaw sand box. PM me for specific details if needed.....Bob

Well I finished up a gear drive to bring to the gtg this past weekend, and have another in for welding and paint matching. As the mccullochs will be well represented, I am focusing on other brands. I will have more room this year now that I am driving a full size truck, so I'm bringing all kinds of stuff I guess. See y'all soon

 

[sawfun]

Good to hear Sheldon.

Woot!

 

[Farley9n]

Nice to see that some are getting ready. This coming week end will be the first of the work crews! "T" ( son in law) has informed me that he is/has set up some cables and sky lines over a few large logs somewhere in the DEEP WOODS so that we will be able to yard, hoist and load much the same as last year! This time I'm going to get the shot of his battered but reliable Toyota hanging ass up from pulling a bit too big a log! If you can make the work crew ( we will be working both Saturday and Sunday) at any time please call or PM me so you can be included in the fun! Lots to do....So little time...BUT SO MUCH FUN!!!
