Pacific Northwest GTG (June 12-15, 2015)

[Gologit]

Is still a disaster area......:bang:.....Another new steering gear is on it's way. .....Only SELF to blame! On the plus side though, I'm getting good at getting it in and out! The fair grounds are looking good, and...........:msp_smile:......The GOODIES BOX from Bailey's came today! More neat stuff, climbing and safety oriented! THANK YOU GREG!!! (If you didn't already know Bailey's is closing the Laytonville store and Grande Dog is not moving to the Woodland site. You can PM him on the AS site if you like and express feelings.).........Bob

There's also a thread about Gregg parting ways with Baileys. http://www.arboristsite.com/baileys/234783.htm

I don't know who will take over for Gregg but whoever it is will have some big shoes to fill.

Hang in there with that tractor. :bang:

Here I Am..........

In a somewhat earlier post crying about how I am going to be getting rid of saws and stuff for various reasons ( age- situation-etc ) yet since that post I have gained six more saws not counting WTs. CAD is insidious!..........Admittedly two are for sale bait....Homelite gear drive C-5 and a Homelite XL102, but the other four are keepers. The latest is a near pristine 133S Dolmar. I still am going to get rid of a lot stuff.......I mean REALLY!!! ( anyone have a nice 143 Dolmar cylinder and piston?) Meanwhile things are coming along good here at the Fairgrounds. More wood and more relaxed! .........Bob

It has been quiet. Too quiet. Time to bumpus this.

The Little Tractor That Could......

Now can again!.......:msp_biggrin:.....There was a time I liked mechanical stuff but now it's more like a posterior thorn. Well since my last post I have gotten two more saws, another Echo 610 and a near new Poulan 2050. Got sniped on another couple and flat beat out on a 111s ( it truly is a sickness ) Now as far as the GTG goes.....It's about time to get a handle on numbers and some organization on the campers, food, and so forth. We will have three to four ways to BBQ, gas, weber, cut up pressure tank and a dryer drum, some chairs and tables, running water in hoses, the green house, bead shack, and the out house shower. At least two porta- pottys and there is always the river!....:msp_scared:....WE have some nice big wood with a special chunk for the DRONES from Fraser, lots of other sized stuff to cookieize and even some cants for the racers. Once again there will be saws hanging in the climbing trees for the brave and desperate, the axe target is ready and a nice fire pit for early morning and LATE night.........Please PM me for information. We are easy to find and have lots of room but I would like to know about how many to expect!..... ................Bob

Well...A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.....

to all who are........and to those of us who have from time to time have accepted that as part of our temporary title......:msp_rolleyes:. Shannon and "T" came over today to see MOM. That let "T" and me head out to the "Fairgrounds" to play at getting ready. He mowed and put the BBQ together between testing saws I kept dragging out. Tried out my new to me Poulan 2050 with a new 3/8 full comp on it's 20" bar. It did good! Drug out an 028 Super and an 024 with a 026 top end and got them going. Both I had ported a little about 4 years ago but wasn't pleased so they have been sitting and are up for trade or sale. Found two NOS sets of Homelite 8800 cylinders & piston, found the box that has the pin,clips and ring for Aarons cylinder, and some NOS XL & EZ cylinders and pistons. Also found that when one has been mostly sitting on ones posterior for a year and a half PLAYING CHAINSAW can be draining!..........So I'm back at the house doing ribs and the BBQ catches fire! I wished it a Happy Mothers Day and have popped a cold one..............To ALL.....Bob

Unless something unforseen comes up, I'll be there on Friday afternoon/evening and will leave Sunday. Fraser has offered to let me bunk in his trailer. Maybe I shouldn't tell him that I snore......

 

[Farley9n]

Snoring? We call that Sawing Logs! No one will even notice! Hahahahahahahaha:msp_w00t::hmm3grin2orange:

You say that now Bob. Fraser may not agree with you on that point in a few weeks.

 

[paccity]

if i have enough brown nourishment i'll sleep fine. i'll probably be there early to mid day fri to set up and relax , hate rushing around even though thats what i do most of the time. bob , what was that about a bullfrog carb you needed? and i still have another load to take down in the next week or so.

 

[torinocobra]

I will be there on Friday...

Around noon I'm hoping, but I have my grandparents 75th anniversary party to attend on Saturday afternoon. Don't know if this means I'll be packing up and leaving or coming back for saturday night and Sunday. I had told Bob that I'd be bringing the wall tent and that I'd have an extra cot for someone, but I might just sleep in the truck now. If I need to commit one way or the other, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll play it by ear.

 

[Farley9n]

Sheldon.....

We will be happy to have you here for what ever time you can. Don't worry about providing for others. This group can take care of itself!........... SEE YOU HERE........Bob

 

[schmuck.k]

I finally got the time off approved, subject of course to the whim of the Dept.
We will be up Friday afternoon, early evening. Getting the gas money together.
