Pacific NW get together

[Burvol]

OK, OK, sorry about that. I'll just be myself. If I put on riggin' clothes, I plan on cutting something. I tell you that. I don't wear my work clothes to be known as a cutter like this guy I know that wears chaps around town (seriously). I prefer to lounge out in shorts and no shirt in hot weather and be comfortable. But I think there might be something to cut :greenchainsaw:

 

[Trinity Honoria]

Maybe I should bring my tent to use as a changing room. That way, we could go from preppy to formal, to casual. I better buy another bag to carry clothes in.

I can throw in the tin pants if they survive this winter. They are at the state where some tourists who see me in the parking lot, gape and either walk way around, or grin and talk about "making a statement." But I can't eat in them because I don't want to get the huckleberry stain on them.

I'll bring the pearls. Pearls go with anything.

i don't understand the need for a tent... why the formality??? just step out of the way, strip, put on the next outfit, change the accessories... but i agree, pearls go with everything... i'll wear my black pearls-- they're opera length, so can be worn multiple ways... yes, i think the black pearls will be best!!!

as to huckleberry stains on the tin pants... i'll bring some stain removers, so we can keep you looking spiffy!!!

Trin.. you seem to have forgotten - a "changing room" adds to the mystery...
Bareing it all? - well... we'd just look and go back to the beer.

But.. pearls... yes.... ooh.... yes...

actually, i find the GTGs a pretty accepting cluster of folks... so, you can have your cutting wardrobe, and for sitting around the fire jawing, you can be in the shorts... whatever works for you, is just fine... or at least that's my opinion... i'm just a chainsaw groupie, tho, so what do i know???

 

[slowp]

Ya forgot a Spencer tape...

Gary

Will there be tape races? 100? 75? or 50 footers? Would we let the Canadians race metric?

Pearls? I believe that this thread has been hyjacked by the jewelry shopping channel.

:arg: :arg: :arg: :arg: :arg:

What happened to the four accepted topics for discussion at a GTG, or any tavern in the PNW? Those being: Chainsaws, Beer, Football, and Women. And of course the weather, but that does not count. Old saying here: If you are not complaining about the weather, then you are not living in Oregon.

i dunno-- from your pic, i think some nice baroque pearl drop earrings would set off your eyes...

well, i am a woman-- a hetero woman, tho, so i don't "talk about women." and i don't believe the side bar discussion is stopping you from talking Chainsaws, Beer, Football or Wimen... slowp & i were just responding to one of your gender discussing his wardrobe options

hope you come to the GTG and you'll discover neither slowp or i am fluffy... but then, she does have the Barbi stickers...

 

[Trinity Honoria]

River Rat-- talk to us!!!

I see RR reading this thread... please please please tell us you are going to come play this May at the GTG!!!

Well, I am doing ski patrol on Mt Hood this year, so my showing up at the GTG is going to depend on the patrol schedule. It would be interesting to meet non-fluffy women wearing pearls with Barbie stickers on their chainsaws though. I would think that pearl strings would be like neckties though, and a liability when running saws?

1. thank you for doing ski patrol & helping people stay safe;
2. i ski like i chainsaw-- observer only. So my pearls don't get in the way LOL... but knitting at fireside works for me... and no one seemed to mind... i just stay out of the way (except for Gologit), enjoy the company, and learn more about something i know nothing about...

My son Trey got Married in October and my daughter Jayme Danielle is getting married in 3 weeks so between family and work I havent had much time to surf the net!!!!!

Well, thanks. I can assure you that no good deed goes unpunished though.

Holy smokes this thread has resurfaced.

I will get back to this with a some dates for everyone to hash out.

Right now I am killing time while the trucks are getting gased and stocked. This storm we had is gonna keep me busy for probably another week. I should be home I'm hoping for Jan 2nd that way we can do Christmas on the 3rd or 4th. Most likely won't be back here until after then. When I get home I will need to make up lost time with the family. Let see. 8 days and counting since I last saw my family. I got called into work very early on Sat the 20th.

Just a hint to everyone when your out of power don't yell and scream at the people that are there to turn it back on. If you do most likely you will be asked for your address, best bet then is not to give it to them. Good chance you are about to be put on the bottom of the list.


Keep this thread alive.

BTW my boy got his elk(his first) and now some planning can begin.


Stay warm and stay safe

wow! do i ever know that... if you come to the GTG, we gotta talk...

I answered you!!!!!

Blush... well, I do have Paul Newman eyes. Baby blues.

But the earring thing... I do not think that would work for me. I ran into a logger yesterday trying to pawn a 372 (nice saw, I made him an offer on it). Anyway, he had an earring on his left ear. Same with my 25 year old nephew that works in construction in Bend.

LOL...You sound busy enough for a whole herd of people. The GTG will probably be in Oregon this year but there aren't any dates set yet.

I haven't had any decent BBQ or huckleberry pie since last year. I'm going into withdrawal.

Right now I got a big batch of red beans and rice getting ready. Some friends from Houma sent me a Care package...boudin, Luzianne dark roast, andouille, Zatarains...man I'm set.

 

[slowp]

I don't want to talk about women either. I just found out that my dog is not gay, although it would be OK if he was....

Wooohooo! Went to the grocery store to buy a newspaper and there, in the store, was the kind of sled that I need. I bought it. The firewood dilemma is over. And, I can assure you that now that I have the right stuff for the snow, it will go away and not return to this elevation.

OK, back to the GTG.

Wowzer!!!!!!

I'll be right over!!!!!

BUUUUUUUURP!! Better hurry...I just ate half of it. The only thing missing was a big frosted schooner of Dixie. Barqs is a close second, though.

Hey, try to get out here for the GTG. A lot of the same people will be there plus some welcome new ones. We have to find an 090 and some caulks for Ms. Honoria.
