Pacific NW get together

[Ironbark]

Hi All,

Just made it back to the UK! American Airlines messed up BIG TIME and cancelled my JFK to Stansted flight. Made it on a flight to Heathrow 6 hours late which was just in time to make it work an hour late My fault I guess......always cut it to the bone

Anyway, before it's too late, I just wanted to thank you all for your hospitality. Particularly Bookerdog and family for hosting the event and giving us the tour....thanks very much.

We had a lot of fun and the rest of the rest of the trip was brilliant too. Certainly is a beautiful part of the world.

I might even get some pics to upload now that RR2's given me some pointers on who to resize. We'll see......

Glad to see that you made it back safely and that I wasn't the only one with the airline blues. LOL

Yeah, and the TSA opened up my bag to see what "goodies" were inside.

What exactly could a 41" chainsaw bar be mistaken for under X-ray I wonder?

Still I'd rather the TSA take an interest than Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs :hmm3grin2orange:

They opened up the box I checked that had 15 bottles of BBQ sauce in it too... I would love to have been a fly on the wall when they got it open... "What the....?? It's bubble wrap and BBQ sauce !"

Glad to have met you both and glad you made it home safe.
So when are you coming out again?
You will have to show the pictures of Kate running the excavator to your families.

Having the next Northwest GTG at Bookerdog's place in October sounds great to me. I only made it for one day at the last one, but still had a ton of fun. It was my first GTG. Hopefully at the next one, there will again be some bigger saws such as Stihl 066 or larger. I keep seeing one in my future and the GTG would be just the ticket to get me off dead center in buying one.

Take mashed potatoes, add a pint of sour cream, a bottle of chives, 3 oz of bacon bits and mix well. I'll contribute a few batches to the next GTG if we can prevail on Mrs Bookerdog for the use of her microwave.

They are like twice baked potatoes without the baked. They must not be to bad, when my out-law gets off the airplane she asks when they are on the menu then inquires about the health of her daughter.

Greg (Dozer) plenty of room in my rig for a few saws.

May take you up on that. By the time I loaded two coolers of food, beer, sleeping bag, clothes and all Flea's stuff, I had room for 1 saw. And it was puking fuel. lol, next time I bring all of them. somehow

Hey Chow did you ever put a new metering diaphram in the 046????

 

[Lakeside53]

Say away....

90F+, flooding rivers (snow melt), avalanches all over the back county, river rescues overwhelming first responders... horrible place to visit.

Are you just running your post count up,,,,, because the SawTroll is trying to beat you to 20K post???? spelling corrected,,,,,

 

[slowp]

Nope, he's telling it like it is in this god awful heatwave. We've gone from winter right to simmer (summer). I'm sitting in front of a fan after mowing the yard, which loves this warm weather. Maybe it'll dry up quicker this year?
Saw the river rescue stuff on the news. Our river is bank full and has backed up into the yearly flood plain, but was not over any roads when I went by at two. The North Cascades highway is closed by avalanches. Don't move here, it is horrible. Here's the used dog I got yesterday. He wants to stay indoors all the time where it is cooler.

I've brushed about a million pounds of hair off of him since getting him. Poor beasty. He has to live in this awful place too.

 

[RiverRat2]

LOL Patty and Andy

it stays in the 90's here many more days a year than it does up there!!!!!

and it is usually 30-40% more Humid,,,,,,

nice doggie,,,

here is one of mine!!!

 

[slowp]

I live here because I am not fond of hot weather. I forgot my new dog is not accustomed to the same things as my former dog. I walked to the store this morning, and tied him to the campfire wood display. As I headed into the building, there was an unusual sound and he was pulling the campfire wood, which I thought was too heavy, across the parking lot. I sprinted, not unlike outrunning a falling tree, felt twinge in leg muscles that were torn by outrunning a tree, but managed to stop dog and cart in time. Leg is OK too.
Hot again today..whine whine whine...

Dean has it. That means I have to set aside time to go see him soon. See how that works? lol, then I can have a burger over at the Firehouse!

Hey Ironbark

Hey Colin I talked to my son today and he said he met you and your wife up at Crystal Mountain. He works at the Silver Ski Inn. What a small world.
I told him about the GTG and how people came from Kentucky, Texas, Canada, Oregon, and the farthest was England.
I told him we met a real nice young couple and he said he met you too.
I thought that was pretty cool.
