eek gods... I almost had to go through there on friday too...

 

[slowp]

The traffic jam I was in was from another wreck going north. It is the weekend of the STP Seattle To Portland bike thing so 10,000 bicycle riders and their support folks will be on the secondary roads and then on the interstate tomorrow going home. Lots of bikes on cars on Friday heading north.

Its rise 'over' run but when the rise is over the run...
I run.. no I don't, but I have rolled and bounced a few times.

I agree, it sounds like a dog!

That's a mouthful, but right on the button!

I saw traffic here once. At least someone said it was traffic. I think it was a riding mower and a quad (at the same time). With a population of 204 and all the streets being dirt "traffic" wasn't in my vocabulary until I read the last few posts.

Reminds me of taking Dutch guests to the neighboring municipal called Ilomantsi. As the Netherlanders were zipping beers in a local bar and contemplating an old geezer slowly buzzing with a moped down the main street of the central village, left arm raised as a salute - no other vehicles, people, anything - they asked, was this place always like this? A native guy answered, no, not always. It should calm down right after the high season.

Do locals there consider themselves Russian or Finnish?

Joensuu. But you already know that.

Picker: Finnish

That's good news. I have wondered that for a while now.

...but at 23% its a dry heat...right? Hoot owl isn't necessary at only 90 is it?

Keep in mind some years here it doesn't break 82 so I am talking out my hind end (again).

 

[treeslayer2003]

wow..........i am crispy and melted.........82 sounds good

 

[northmanlogging]

hoot owling is when the FS/dnr shuts the woods down at 11am or sometimes 1pm, No machinery after X hour, means the big guys get to start logging at like 2 in the morning or earlier.

Puts a real bind on the fallers, since they still have to wait around for daylight

Me... Hel I'm part time, so a 6 hour day is the norm anyway... I'll probably still start early all this week though, got a fam reunion thing sat, and that's the only day I have a climber for some danger trees...

 

[treeslayer2003]

i'm headed home by 1 when its this hot any way

Ever log in the Sierras? CalFire, on this particular job, makes the rules. It's hot, it's dry, and nobody wants to take any chances. Better to shut it down than to burn it down.

somtimes we forget the fire danger out there Bob....sorry.........never happens here
