Pacific Northwest GTG (June 12-15, 2015)

[Farley9n]

It's nice too see this.........

Get bumped back up front!...:msp_smile:...We are working towards getting FarleyVille " into shape! Mark, once again we are disappointed that you won't be to make the Pacific swing...... You are well respected out here! Terry, the "GOLD" is in your cooking! Seems as if Sheldon and possibly J.J. may have your 111s needs covered even if I don't step up though I might if you can get those reps from Oregon too show!...:msp_wink:... As to the Homelite 2100s rings, mine looks as if it might have partially digested the compression release. The damage may be manageable but a ***** ring would be appreciated. I just spent another day with saws on the picnic table at the house. Should have taken a picture. Too the right, the 2100, Solo 680, husky 55, Homelite 102, and a couple others of note, too the left, 7 or so Wildthings in various stages of undress in a disorderly pile! Two of which did make it into the back of "T"'s Toyota as working saws! Looking Forward to JUNE!!!!!!

Are there going to be Wildthing races?

 

[moody]

Anyone live close to the Rancho Cordova or Citrus Heights area? My family is in that area, was going to see if you guys had a fall gtg. Chance's are I'll be on the left coast sometime around October.

 

[slowp]

Are there going to be Wildthing races?

If not, I am bringing my Old Sparkless saw. I imagine I'll have to defend my title? Whatever? from La Pine Barbie will stay at home.

I will have my fiddle along.

 

[Farley9n]

Yes......

There will be WildThing Races......Even if I have to provide them. SlowP, I'm hoping that "Sparkless" lives down to it's name. Not sure I want to be spanked again! Just got back from a quick trip to the local recycle place where I picked up a sink and parts for our NEW OUT DOOR SHOWER!!!.....:cool2:...Was so pleased that I hit a Pawn shop and got a running Jonesereds 910E with a 36" bar. Listed at $189 but took $140. It's a little beat up but nothing broken and good compression. Look out Rick!...........Bob

 

[slowp]

How many quarters for your shower?:msp_smile:

I'll have my tent shower along. Shower races? Nah, I don't think so.

We'll have to talk Cedarkerf into bringing his 032 to race Ol' Sparkless. The only thing I have close to that is a 361 and that wouldn't be fair.

Maybe Farley can set me up with a more competitive saw so I don't get whipped two years in a row. :msp_biggrin:

Bob I'll lend you an XL-12 or 10-10A to regain your honor with.

 

[RiverRat2]

They make special considerations for Californians. In return, we have to promise not to start every other sentence with "Well, in California we..." It's easy. I'm going, Eccentric is going...come on up.

Missed the last two, or so gonna try and do my best to make this next one!!!

 

[Farley9n]

Rr2....

Hope you make it! Still have an 064 with your name on it...:msp_biggrin:...Bob

Farley9n, Annie wants to know what that red wine was, that Liz had.

 

[Farley9n]

The Wine was...

A home made Black Berry most likely! Our long time friend Doug Booth makes various types of berry and grape wines and brings several to the GTGs. This year he will adding some nice sized Fir logs along with the wine!.........(I'm out of that single malt scotch though) .......Bob

 

[slowp]

What vintage will the fir be?

Any good candle making firs?

Nice!!!! I have Type II Diabetes and I love fresh blackberries. I'm thinking that the hyperglycemia caused by the fructose in berry pie could be canceled by the hypoglycemia caused by the alcohol in berry wine. Nu? lol

Since I plan to do some brush clearing near Klamath Falls, Oreygun around June, I'm considering the feasibility of the GTG. Any suggested routes, driving directions suitable for towing a 22' Alpenlite from Sprague River-Chiloquin to the McKenzie River GTG?

 

[Farley9n]

Welcome prj.......

Looking forward to meeting you! PM me for the address and you can Google the place! Highway 58 west to Eugene Springfield will get you close.......Bob

Wrote the dates on my calendar. However, I may be pre-empted by my family for attending my oldest grandson's graduation from high school. His younger brother is still in diapers. Such is the burden of being the family patriarch. lol

P.S. As soon as he graduates from HS, he goes to ROTC boot camp and then to Engineering classes in the Fall at Arizona State University. I may not get to see him for a while.

Perhaps, I can loan him my slide rule for grins. lol

 

[Farley9n]

Not a Cheap Bump......

But a good one...:msp_smile:...CAD fever has struck again. I just got a 610 Echo on a BIN from Ebay @ $179 delivered! It seems complete but I doubt that it's a runner, however when added to my other 4 who knows??......GTG stuff is coming along good. We are about ready to start hauling in some wood (not cottonwood) and I have a deal in the works for some "Big Nasty Chunks" for the gear drives and vintage beasts to chew on! Kitchen and fire pit areas should be ready to go in another week. I'm also going to dump a lot of stuff out of the barn. Some free and all Fair to GOOD HOMES.................See You Then......Bob

Well I had a good haul too. A nice 890 mcculloch, sxl925W, stihl 075, pro mac 805, wright super rebel parts saw, and a cool pond bar and helper handle. I ran the 890 and the 925 today. The 925 really did have 200 lbs compression, I've read about it and its true. What a great saw. Another saw that I have wanted. Tomorrow I'm tearing into the 075 and pm805. Fun stuff.

I'm working on getting a pair of 101b's ready. I've gotta replace seals and replace rings on one, but the cylinder is good and the other is a kart engine in great shape that's going in a fairly clean sp125 chassis. Gotta make a rear mount for it. I'll bring a 166 as well.
