Pacific NW get together

[chowdozer]

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.

That's funny!

 

[chowdozer]

Always good!!!! I've had a few of them myself!!!!!

Yep, I think they got a pretty good cook! :hmm3grin2orange:

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.

to me, this is one of the coolest things about the GTGs-- watching people try saws they've been curious about... or like me, get to actually USE a saw LOL... a good GTG is like one giant Show & Tell, with everyone willing to share their toys!!! so great to watch...

Wow, that is cool.

He's lucky to work up there....really nice place. We'd driven up there just exploring. I'd figured the road was closed further up when we only saw 1 other car on the 35 mile drive from Enumclaw, but carried on anyway.

We'd planned to camp, but even I'll admit the weather wasn't great (37F and foggy), so Kate decided to try the hotel. I thought she was crazy, because there was only 1 other car outside and it looked closed. Could hardly believe it when she said we're in and check out the room. Plasma TV, dinning table, sofa and an amazing kitchen....don't even have all those things at home.

Best thing was the 14 foot snowbank outside chilled my beer in no time at all. Very memorable stay, say thanks again when you talk to him next.

OH my Colin,,,,

DID you ever decide/convince Kate on a new/another Saw??????? LOLOL!!!!

You are one lucky guy to find a gal like her!!!!!

 

[Ironbark]

Well she was pretty taken by that 346 that Dean had modified.....as long as it has a black Cannon bar of course.

An Englishman drinking his beer cold? Gentlemen, I believe we have an impostor. No self-respecting Brit would be drinking his beer cold. Unless that is, you were forced to drink the American swill that they call beer here. Getting it real cold might drown out the taste (or lack of it) :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

When I was in Europe, I kept my rack of beer BESIDE the refrigerator, not in it.

I know, and to make matters worse it was Coors Light (please don't negative rep me). It does taste a bit like Perrier Water with a multi vit disolved in it, but I like the fact that you can drink a gallon without getting legless

You cant do that with Walking Man IPA!!!!!!!! 2 pints and you're buzzin!!!!! LOL!!!!

 

[Haywire Haywood]

IPA? That's Isopropyl Alcohol man... rubbing alcohol... that'll leave you more than legless.

(please don't negative rep me)

I dunno... a Brit drinking cold beer... and Coors Light at that. I think I puked just a little in the back of my throat... I need a Sam Adams to wash it back down..

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......

Hey glad you had a great time. Thanks for coming out.

 

[slowp]

I'll have to slip into Wisconsonese as it it appropriate...

I offered youse guys good beers and you wouldn't drink it so youse shouldn't be making fun of Coors Light. The remaining Porter is here in the fridge. I think there are 5 bottles.

Oh, the new dog finally ate last night.
