My Dad Has a facebook page, I opened it for him! Now he is making me open up my own arborist account. But that's better because then he cannot delete my posts :) He says I should use the call name Trouble. ;)

You should call yourself T's trouble.:cheers:
 
I will be sleeping in the back of my truck as well because I know that there is a vacancy and the price is right...

Quick, somebody suggest or assign something that I can bring from the east side of the Cascades...please?


:clap:

Good Idea! But she's not that "Limited"! She's going to be throwing the axe, something she's never done in her life but wants to. :dizzy: I'm putting her on the gate as the sign in cop!.........:jawdrop:........She is going be checking to see who has the "Yuppie" beer so she can know where to sit at the camp fire!

All Right! Here it is, my arborist site profile has been made. I guess that "T" could stand for both, Teiva & Trouble.... the "me" well, I go with both equally :)

Much to my Dads chagrin I'm sure, the Pacific Northwest GTG now has a facebook fan page. :D

As I check in with facebook Significantly More Often than I check here (and more often than my Dad checks there...) I'll look forward to seeing y'all there too! The page is looking pretty bare bones right now, but there is more to come I promise ;) :chainsaw:
 
As Yet!

There hasn't been any food czar but we do have some beef, salmon and assorted snacks along with plenty of liquid refreshments mentioned! I will have a "food court" set up behind the west side of the barn with a gas Weber & side burner, a regular Kettle weber, a cut open pressure tank with a screen grill for open fire cooking, and the ever popular drier drum with a grill. Plenty of "HEAT". Gologit has stepped up with supplying the paper plates, utensils and such. Trin has got a pie and some type of "brownies". Slowp does "PIES". My wife has spoken of a monster bag of salad and of course the daughter will be bringing trouble with a capitol "T"!
Bringing something for yourself and something to share. Also chairs may be in short supply...........Bob
 
What's facebook?

The heck of it is, I make apple pie, can there be too much pie? That and a couple jugs of non-eth for anyone without.

historically, i have observed at GTGs-- there can NEVER be too much pie... i may have misspoke-- i am bringing chocolate cake... plus brownies... and will probably bring other things... just waiting to see where the blanks are in the menu...

i was going to bring broccoli cornbread, but there was an uprising of dissent!!!
 
My son in law "T" and I are hosting a GTG here at my place on the 12th & 13th of June. Our location is just a few miles east of Springfield, Oregon between Cedar Flats and Walterville on the Mckenzie River. I've picked up some extra logs and dropped 6 trees here to support the fun! There are still some even bigger chunks coming so that the older 100cc plus drones will have something to do. We plan on using "T"'s mill to make some popular sized cants for the racers amoung us. For those that want to try climbing we have two 18-20 inch dia. trees within 40' of each other. I have picked up 4 double bit axes and will have a big Cedar round as a target just in case anyone thinks they can hit it.
I will be setting up a select few of the logs and set some benchmark cut times with my own saws and if/when beaten by a similar cc saw will earn a beer.
Because my barn/shop looks like something the "American Chainsaw Pickers" could build a program around I will be giving away lots of saws and"stuff" that I am never really going to get to!
Real close parking will be limited but there is plenty of parking within a couple hundred yards. I also have room for camping and RV's if needed.
If any of the above interest you and you think you can make it or have specific questions just PM me and I will do my best to answer.......:cheers:.......Bob


PS. Looking forward to seeing our friends from previous GTG's and meeting a crop of new ones!


Doubt I can make it...I'll be in Ore for a "Flip-Fest" organized by members of another forum....the t ree h ouse---fliplining up some 70-90" dbh old growth...... just the weekend before. And, I'm trekking to the Bay Area in late June for a family gathering to celebrate my moms' 96 year life, which finally came to an end this past Halloween.

Too bad, I do have quite a bevvy of ported saws that people would like to see run, I'm sure.
 
Apple Pie!

That's my favorite! I have a few apple trees ( check out the tent camping area) and when the apples are ready I take them to a specific small group of pie bakers I call my "Apple Tarts" and weedle/beg a pie or two! Yummmmmmm!
Even tried baking them myself as a sort of prodding! Mine weren't as good.
I think they are on to me now!.....Tasty While It Lasted.......Bob :)

Ummm...mebbe I'll have to rethink this event.....

You Would Be Missed!

But then I have 22 self ported saws that will be here for anyone to try. Also, since my saws are almost as fast as last years also rans I will be saving some beers!
Hope you can work it out......:)......Bob
 
The secret of pies? Buy the crust at the store. For apple pies, my mama taught me to mix a bit of nutmeg in with the sugar and cinnamon. I can't tell you how much because I grew up being the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg putter inner and I didn't measure, just poured it in until my mama said "That's just about right." And we always used Golden Delicious for pies. That's the rules.

Today, as I watched a yarder being maneuvered about, at one point heading towards the guy on the Cat with tube down and pointed at said Cat, with Cat operator gesturing for yarder to make an adjustment in direction, I thought of the sport of Yarder Jousting. Anybody got a couple of yarders?:)
