Pacific NW get together

[Lakeside53]

lololol For such a young dog, he certainly has "presence"....

Does the white dog have a name. I just called her Cujo

Is it possible to get copies of the pictures taken E mailed to me. this thread will sooner or later be removed from the sticky spot and will rapidly fall away into PNW GTG memory. Would like to get as many of the pics as possible from as many of the different cameras as possible.

You can save the pics from the site onto your own computer. If you want mine in orginal high res, it will take some room... mailing a CD would be best.

You can also save the thread url in your favorites.

Trin breaks the silence...

so.. what did you think of the PNW style GTG.... ???

i am still grinning like a buffoon, i had so much FUN!!! my life the past 10 months out here has not been easy... and to discover i could connect with chain-saw people out here, not lose that part of 'me' with this move that left so much behind... well, i am just ECSTATIC!!!

i can't compare the east coast with the PNW, as each GTG crowd has it's own flavor... but i will say that i LOVED the scenery i got to enjoy on the way there and back; i delighted in the people-- the locals, the Canadians, the Kentuckians, the Texan, the Brits... the loggers, the saw hobbiests... the wives & girlfriends who endured graciously...

one of the things i've enjoyed at every GTG i have attended is the generousity of spirit-- the sharing knowledge on how to tweak the timing, the fuel mix, the sharpening chain more efficiently... the encouraging others to run your saws... Dean making certain i went to play on the back hoe so i wouldn't miss the chance...

i could get all female here and tell you that writing this almost brings me to tears, but that would ruin my hard derriere rep i have worked so hard to maintain all these years...

Booker, thank you for all the planning, efforts, and physical labors you & your family put forth to put on a delightful weekend for all these strangers who invaded your space... and to all who attended, you were part of the best weekend i have had in a very long time... my heart is singing still and i carried the Bailey's key chain in my pocket today just to keep the mood uplifted!!!

We are already thinking of planning a fall one.

please please please do... please please please

i'll even come down ahead of time to help do anything... well, just about anything... maybe put Barbie stickers on everything but the white dog???

just let me know, and i will come down to scrub logs... whatever... i need a GTG fix on a regular basis and come fall, i will be in bad shape...

Trin....

This may help...


Seal any piece of clothing from the GTG in a plastic bag... Any time you feel misty, open and sniff deep.. the smoke will bring on a flood on good memories.

you will get a kick out of this her name is puppy girl.

I called her "Maam". and she didn't invade the love shack, although apparently she wandered by occasionally.

again, the lessons were great, the folks were awesome.

I don't think I was fat before I went to Washington.

That's my story and I'll stick to it.

One of the things I try hard to do and often fail at is to laugh at myself and my individual antics.

It is nice to know there are plenty of folks in the world willing to help out and laugh at my antics!!!!!!!!



Booker, it took guts, ambition, and foresight to volunteer to put on this event. I truly hope the rewards were well worth the risks for you, as I had a great time and hope to be invited back someday.

Booker, puppy girl is too sweet and innocent a name for a dog with the reputation of Ted Bundy.


Trinity, putting barbie stickers on the white dog is mandatory. besides she liked you. Couldn't ya tell by the way she looked at you.

I had saw gas leak a little bit on the way home. Had my pack o'stuff in the office and had to throw it out the door as there were complaints. Ah, the return to the grumpy place. I then aired it out by throwing it in the pickup bed the rest of the day. The FADED pastel hickory shirt also took on the odor. I'm afraid if I sealed the stuff in a plastic bag and sniffed deep, well, I might be floating a while? My dog had the nickname of Puppy Girl too, but was one to lick people to death. Weird that there's another Puppy Girl. Must be something to do with being a large dog?

Today I better soak the pie plates. See you all later it sounds like?:greenchainsaw:

Bookerdog did a great job. The guy was nonstop. Grinding chains, going out for donuts, ordering pizza, gettin people coffee. I bet he drove 50 miles up and down the hill in 2 days. Wanted to thank him, his great wife and Jay for putting up with us. It was alot of fun.

+35 or 40,,people who were there,,,,, Yep Exemplary Job I must say!!!

So.... where's the Hood River pic taken by the willing waitress in Hood River -the one on that "Property of the US Govt." camera

 

[RiverRat2]

Looks like I dodged all the pics also :greenchainsaw:

Not quite,,,, ask and you shall receive!!!!!

Here is where the confusion started,,,,, Drinking Beer @ the pub 6's Friday afternoon with RR2, Gologit, Andy and Cindy and their nice Friend who lives in Hood River!!!!

I don't remember him.. but faces verses names verses AS handles, plus beer... all so confusing...

And if you remember you almost left the pristeene 056 Mag II if I had not reminded you to get it,,,,,

Please Bless Cindy for putting up with him!!!! LOLOL!!! J/K!!

 

[Lakeside53]

Hmmmm... where is that saw?:monkey:

 

[Lakeside53]

And the beer was "Walking Man IPA", which after a few is definitely an oxymoron

 

[wood4heat]

Hey Andy you were talking about chain and if I remember right you said you prefer semichisle full skip. I was trying to find this chain on the Stihl site but am not sure I've come up with the right thing. (or even a real chain number) For 3/8 pitch .050 gauge on a 25" bar is 33RMF84 what I want?

Thanks

 

[Lakeside53]

That's the stuff!
