Pacific Northwest GTG (June 12-15, 2015)

[mad murdock]

I think I have plotted a route that will avoid Portlandia. I think. Is McMinnville hard to go through?

You going to cross the Columbia @ ranier? Cornelius pass can be a best depending on the time of day you are going through. Coming into Mac from hwy 47 is a breeze, stay on 99W to Corvallis, then Hwy 34 to I 5 or you can snake through Salem town on hwy 22E to I5.

 

[RandyMac]

Ask the offending admin pogue if they are a Newman fan.........and if they like their desk.

Am I still clear to crash on your couch Thursday and Sunday nights?

Yep, it will be good to see you.

 

[Eccentric]

Yep, it will be good to see you.

Thanks brother. It'll be good to see you and Annie again too.

Yup. I bought my pointy trailer in Forest Grove and pulled it over Cornelius Pass, but I haven't been south that way, of Forest Grove. I would most likely be going through Portland at morning rush hour otherwise...:msp_scared:

[Farley9n]

Was Able to

Spent a little time out at the "FarleyVille Fair Grounds" today. Mowed some, moved some gravel, and started to think about what saws to have out for GTG'ers to use! If all goes well there should even be some real electricity out there!.....:msp_thumbup: The Dolmar 143 I picked up the other day turns out to be a runner! ....:msp_thumbsup: Not bad for $20....:hmm3grin2orange: I dropped by Ebay Tuesday and snagged a just listed BIN Partner 5000 in very good running and fair cosmetic shape. Should be here for a GTG unpacking!........:cool2:....I've been wanting one of those to go with my other Partners. (CAD finds work for idle fingers)......Getting Close.............Bob

Mmmmm, cinnamon rolls.

It'd be a good place for you Collyfonians to stop. I think it is close to the straight stretch that is often a place of radar use by OSP.

 

[mad murdock]

I'll expect a full report from farleyville after this weekend! I won't be able to sneak down. First break in the weather in a while and all our ships are out working. Have to stay close to the phone.

 

[paccity]

bob. going to try to make it down sunday to drop of some logs. would do today but my little girl is graduating from HS today.

 

[Farley9n]

Hey Fraser.....

By the time they graduate from HS they aren't "Little Girls" anymore, at least not in their eyes!......But still in ours!...:msp_unsure:..."T" and I got a lot done yesterday, it's starting to look like a PARK in some areas. Sunday will be fine as "T" and Josh will also be here along with Bryan so there will be plenty of non-senior muscle to set logs and such. Also my GOOD NEIGHBOR has some logs to donate and we can take the trailer over and get them. (sizable Cottonwood) Speaking of trailers, we can pick and prepare where you will be placing Aarons bedroom....... Sorry mad Murdock that you are going to miss it! New faces are a neat part of the fun! SlowP: Liz & I came up here and got this place in 89 but didn't move into it until 97. In all those years we commuted from the SF Bay Area we only stopped once at "Heaven On Earth"...:msp_scared:...THAT WAS ENOUGH! Terry, if all goes well there will be a 20amp. plug by the front door of the barn and we can run an extension cord for you! I spent a few minuets cutting with my Dolmar 133s and was very impressed with it's speed and power! You all need to try it!..........Bob

I've been there and it's worth the stop. You guys have one for me.

 

[northmanlogging]

You kids have fun down there, make good choices... I want pictures of the madness...

Finally chased the last of the gremlins from the ignition system of my McCulloch Super 250 today. Caught more noise complaints from the family than I ever have when doing test cuts with any other saw......including several saws over 6ci and various stack 'muffler' equipped oldies. It's loud (although not in the same noise 'league' as the bike saws and the like). Everybody who has a running S-250 please bring it to the GTG. Let's see how many Super 250's we can have running and cutting at once.

 

[wood4heat]

Trying to figure out where this is taking place and thought the easiest way would be to check the Facebook page. I didn't realize there was such a thing as a closed group on FB so if you see a request to join from a Brian that's me!

 

[RandyMac]

Yeah, Supers be loud, you can hardly hear a PM850 running next to you. They do have a nice popping idle.

While I was running it yesterday I kept thinking it ran more like an 82cc 10-series than a large frame Mac. 'Felt' like a cross between a 300 and an SP-81.

Put the shell on my Ranger yesterday. Will make hauling my crap up and back much easier. I have a feeling that it'll be more full on the trip back.

 

[slowp]

How many cookies shall I bring?

 

[Gologit]

How many cookies shall I bring?

Shouldn't that question be "How many dozen cookies ?"

 

[Trx250r180]

Do you have a hitch?
