Hey Bob, not hard to pronounce but, aren't you from Rough and Ready?.....or was that Drain, Oregon? :cheers:

Nope. But I've been to Igo, Ono, Peanut, Hayfork, and once spent a real dull week watching it rain on the S-64 in Boring, Oregon. Got chased out of bar in Covelo by a drunk native american woman wielding a broken beer bottle once...but that's a long story.

You healing up? We're working on the B-line at Feather Falls but got rained out last night.

Then there's the secret of the Yreka Bakery. Ooops, that is down.........................there. :eek:

You Feds must lead real Christian lives. You think of bakeries in Yreka and the rest of us were just trying to get through Saturday night without catching a communicable disease or getting some puncture wounds out in the parking lot after closing time. Ahhh...the good old days. Not! :)
 
Bakeries are great places. Unfortunately or fortunately, there are none here.
Now watch me type and I'll type real slow.......

YREKA BAKERY.

OK, think about it. It's kind of like the name BOB. That would be a hint.

Now, I must go clean the swamp cooties off.

Swamp cooties...may your tribe increase.
 
YREKA BAKERY is a palindrome. Or whatever that word is. Now, a chainsaw question that came up last night. What chain is best for cutting the top off a salad dressing jar? The flavor is Jalepeno Ranch. Should I switch to non skip square file? Should I use the 440 or the 032?

Palindrome? Oh. Sometimes us neanderthal, knuckle dragging, move-our-lips-when-we-read, snoose chewing, room temperature IQ, sartorially challenged woods dwelling types need this kind of information. Palindrome, huh? Wow. I'll write it on the back of my hand and look at it frequently so I don't forget. Maybe I'll paint it on a tree with the appropriate color of log marking paint. Palindrome. Neat. I have a dog named Dud...maybe I could change his name to Palindrome.

And your jar of Jalepeno Ranch? Use an axe. You don't have to start an axe.

Third time trying not to hit the wrong button. We've had wet weather all week with temps in the 40s and some wind. When it has cleared enough, there is a fresh snow line higher up. We didn't get rained on while doing redundant work in the swamp..the specialists seem to think that you loggers would just love to waste time and money playing and getting stuck in a swamp and that I am stupid enough to let you.....end of rant so we have to boundary and buffer every puddle...

We'll get heat stroke this weekend, 60 is predicted. A timber purchaser phoned about starting up and actually mentioned the words...plow snow. I'm going to try to escape the swamp work and go up and see what the snow is doing up there.

Don't know about the future weather. Probably dark and dampish. Stay tuned.
 
Okay everyone its alittle over a week away. I need to put this up. Drinking I don't mind if people drink but while the saws are running I shouldn't have to say anything. If anyone gets sloppy drunk, obnoxious and belligerent they will be asked to leave.
Had to get that out there so its understood. Now back to the fun. Bailey's has sent a box to me with all kinds of stuff in it. So I will set that out and people can grab something. Or we could have a raffle on sat night and raffle it off. Im only suggesting this as a way to help my brother in law help pay for his diesel that he used to help get the logs down.
I don't want any donations for myself but, my brother in law has burned some diesel up with his equipment helping me out. I would appericiate a donation to him for the diesel. Thankyou
 
Today's Weather Picture From The Pnw

It wasn't raining when I took these. It was later. The snow level has gone up. I had a sandwich spot with a view. No coffee, I cut back and have just realized that it has made me a little bit grumpier than normal!

Next is a photo showing some houses awfully close to the river. The river gets a house now and then from here and a little downstream. One made the national news in our last flood.

Here is the address to map quest. 441 Lacock Kelchner Underwood WA 98651. Just going to post this every other day for the next week.
 
I know some are coming early friday I have to work until 5 so won't be home tell about 530 If Your there before I get home. Just don't mess with the white dog with the goats.
 
Who's up for dinner Friday night? Our flight arrives a little after 2 and it looks like a few of us are camping out at the Super 8.

Did anything come of this great idea. If things don't run long at the tattoo shop we should be leaving abt 1:30-2:00ish. Hoping to by pass a bit of the friday P town traffic and be to The Dalles abt 5:30 to 6:00ish.

Is anyone meeting at a certain place at a certain time?


Does Super 8 charge you if the room smells like saw gas and bar oil when you leave?

No one seemed too excited about that idea. LOL We'll probably be in around 5 I'm guessing. No idea what room number yet. I hope they have a WiFi there some place so we can sit in our little dark hotel room and post here about the great time we're having shooting cockroaches by flashlight with the rubberband guns and frying spam sammiches on the camp stove.

Bookerdog tells me that the EHP372 made it through the postal system unscathed, so whoever it was that berated me for threatening to show up empty handed can sleep well the rest of this week. :greenchainsaw:

I don't think so, but they weren't too impressed when I had 2 saws draining oil out in the bath so I could pass 'em as "never run" and fly home with them :hmm3grin2orange:

Can see that happening again next week too. :clap:

I'm bringing the Barbie saw and plan to take the bar off and wrap the head in a garbage bag. That ought to take care of smell and drips. Do we have cockroaches here? I heard they got another dump of snow in the passes last night. :cry:
