NW WA Meet / BS Thread

https://www.space.com/37677-perseids-lunar-and-solar-eclipse-august-2017.html

Anybody interested in camping out for this? I haven't participated in any of your PNW shenanigans, but for those of us who aren't trying to make the trip to Oregon for the eclipse, this would be the next best thing.

August 11-13thish. First thoughts are somewhere around Cle Elum like stampede pass trail? Open to ideas!

 

As long as I have no work, I'd like to tag along.

 

Saw @Avex at 3 rivers marine in woodinville

 

Well, grown up things happens and the wife and I sold our place in Lake Stevens and got our offer accepted up in the Woodinville/Malbty area. Anyone live up war there that has recommendations for food spots and stuff to do? I know it's not far from where I am now but haven't spent too much time over there.

 

Maltby Cafe for breakfast. A lot of great wineries/breweries/eateries in Woodinville

 

cinnamon roles as big as your head.

 

The pizza place next door the the cafe is pretty good. Frost doughnut in the mill creek town center is awesome. Carmel apple fritter.

 

Challenge Accepted. I've eaten there before but it has been some time. I remember the wait times being crazy!

 

I think with the amount of smoke coming down from up there we have decided to bag it for this weekend. Hopefully a different weekend when the views will actually be worth going for though

 

Both quality and quantity.

I figured

 

Looks like a NW Motorsport Douchebag truck

 

There are some slut hut coffee stands on highway 9. Maltby cafe has waiting lines that can wrap the building. Redhook and St Michelle wineries are in Woodinville. Right behind Redhook is a rope type course where you are hooked on and wearing a harness, but 30 feet off the ground, and it can be fun with a small group. Ellersick Brewing (look up Big E's) is more toward My Lk Terrace, about 208th and 52nd, but they have good beer. Definitely try the blackberry one. They also have a 2 pint IPA.

 

Yep. The guy that owns my local car wash has the EXACT same truck in white. Wheels, rack, everything. NWMS truck with a couple thousand in bolt ons, and a $10,000 premium.

 

there are more pot shops than slut huts on highway 9 now. That's my daily drive

 

Big E ales has my favorite Red ever, Hoppy RedHead. I have never tasted a better red/amber. Gets my vote for sure!

 

Ha nice, I was there doing a resupply for our next trip up to Nootka Sound and buying supplies for tying up some marabous. Where you there too, or just driving by?

 

Yup, I actually walked out right as you were backing out of your spot haha didn't think you'd recognize me and wasn't too happy at the moment. Charged $500 for a lake test/2 hours of labor to look for the problem and didn't find anything wrong with the boat, had videos to prove it... yet both times i've taken it out before its done the same problem. So hopefully they did some magic and fixed it, going to test it Saturday. Thats the only place we take our boat though, they do good work and are trustworthy.

 

Ha, trustworthy lol...the shit they did to my old mercury 200 cost them a complete rebuild, new block and top end.

 

I mean no dealership is 100% trustworthy, but for being one its the best we've found. Better than the last one that caught our boat on fire and blamed it on us saying we installed the batteries backwards

 

I bought a used 20 ft alumaweld sled with a 200 HP jet. Found out the owner before me blew a hole in the block. 3 rivers popped a new piston in and welded a patch. Ran great for about 1 hr.
Made them drive down here, pick the boat up, take it back and rebuild it on their dime.

After that, I ran the piss out of it for almost ten years. Sold it.
