Pacific NW get together

[Lakeside53]

Y'all do make me smile... i am on Day 6 of Trapped in the House due to the weather... i am so afflicted with Cabin Fever, i am pondering how the folks went through the winter in the soddies as this country was developed... just can't imagine...

as an Irish Lass, i have lots of comments, but none would get past the Censors here...

trapped? lolol take Mr. Wonderful's 4wd and get into town! Roads are rutted, but not all that bad.

Mr Wonderful doesn't have a 4 wheel drive... we are on a private road; the county sent a snow plow who plowed up to what used to be the end of county-maintained road, then left a HUGE drift across the road 1/2 mile from us and left... the snow on our road is too deep for my car to get through... the house-mates witih higher cars and chains have been able to leave... but some of them have gotten stuck as well, and have been towed back with straps behind a mini-van... NOW there's a huge van with a dead transmission blocking the whole parking area here at the compound.

so i can't even get to the roads LOL

yes, i have been house bound for 6 days... going a little bit hoopy to say the least!!! but i have a delightful GTG to look forward to!!!

Hang in there kid. Snow melts. Eventually.

The Irish had a lot of kids, which probably drove them mad when snowbound.
The Norwegians had lots of skis. They also made those pretty snowflakie sweaters to wear while skiing over to Olaf and Katrin's place. Oneski Oneski that's what the (really was too) Norwegian Ski Instructor told me to say to learn to stride properly on granola skis. Oneski oneski. Then they arrived at the neighbor's and drank some coffee, then skied home cursing their dog because he ran in the tracks and destroyed their dream of a nice easy glide home.

It is snowing more here this morning. There was a guy in Madsen's who had a nearly unrecognizable Subaru Forester. Looked like maybe it got used as a crummy. He yelled, "Hooray for Subarus!" at me. I yelled back, "Five passenger snowmobile!" But when the snow gets too deep. Ve go to do the Oneski oneski....

We too are on private roads. I bought in a plow in from east of the mountains to deal with our mess, and now it's snowing like crazy (whatever you do, stay in bed and don't look out of the window.

all the roommates & Mr Wonderful leave on Friday for a 10 day trip to their time-share... so i have the place to myself and will do the quilting thing... i certainly hope the snow melts at some point-- i am getting claustrophobic here & my good boots are out in the 8 x 20 storage building with all my other stuff as i was told i wouldn't need them here! Ha!

I can use the time to work on cooking in prep for the GTG-- so i only bring things that are GREAT....

 

[Tree Sling'r]

Perhaps. But the reason that the Norwegians were shipwrecked was because they were lost. They were lost because, having failed to find Norway again and not being tough enough to live in Finland, they were seeking a more hospitable land in which to bumble around and mistook Ireland for England. My Irish ancestors, which include both sides of the family, took one look at the invading horde dressed in sheepskins and weird hats with horns sticking out the sides, mumbling and muttering in a language which sounded like they were being strangled, and promptly decamped for England. They, unlike the Scandinavian bunglers in their strange long boats and bare-kneed attire, could find it. And they did.

Now...when are we having the GTG?

Soo... would it be weird if I showed up as Harald Hardrada with Swedish and German saws, with some Irish whiskey?

 

[Gologit]

tell that to the Donner party:greenchainsaw:

I would but they were all busy barbecuing.

Nope. You'd fit right in. Especially with the irish whiskey.

This is what it is doing in the mild south. About 2 inches of new. I'm starting to get nervous. There's a lot of Subaru Envy going on out there!:Eye:

First, you are supposed to eat the oxen, then the dogs, then it is ok to start on the people.

 

[Gologit]

each other? :jawdrop:

No, Rodger...just the slow ones.

 

[Tree Sling'r]

No, Rodger...just the slow ones.

That would be the ones packin' the 880s and 660s, right?

Oh great! Now you've done it. I made fun of her feet in the logging thread and you just insulted her car. We're in trouble now. We'd probably better eat extra helpings of huckleberry pie at the GTG to try and get back on her good side again.
