NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Did some wine tasting in the quincy area the last couple days with my girl. Took advantage of the empty roads out there for some quick shots.

 

What's the imperial sticker all about? a couple big duramax's with those on their vinyl wraps by my grandparents place.

 

My brother got a tig welder. This was one of my first attempts. I need to dial down the amperage and slow down a bit. A lot of fun though

 

My best friends tint/vinyl shop Imperial Tint & Graphics. We do a lot of joint builds between our companies. The Grey duramax is his "advertising expense" We just finished this 4Runner Camo wrap.

 

What 4runner? I just see wheels

 

Seen @NorthwestCruiser and @Greddy at Gallagher Saturday. They where blocking the road just hanging out and shit . Started snowing pretty good up there.

 

Go wheeling with a group they said, it's safer... Haha just kidding.

Group of 15ish rigs, had a crash, a broken rim, overheat, rig fall off a jack, fire and body damage.

Mine was the one that started on fire. But quickly taken care of. (Wire jacket rubbed away and sparked, not tight or over sharp edge, guessing it was crap wire, was appropriately sized).

Up to Surprise Lake. Cool trail, definitely not for those who don't like pin stripes.

Any suggestions for buying a few feet of wire near Puyallup? I think it was 8 gauge.

 

Ohh that was you! Runners looking good dude! Did you camp? I saw some vids from a friend who camped and looked like a good coating overnight

 

Ended up not having to work today, so I promptly topped off the gas and just started driving.

Never been out 410, so I meandered past Greenwater and then headed north via all the NF roads up to Whittier and I-90. 205 miles worth of meander.

Above 4000' started seeing small patches of snow, and by the time I got to 5000'+, there was a few (slushy) inches on the ground. Winter is coming, and I, for one, welcome our White Walker overlords.

 

Nice, the opposite route that i did just a few days ago... There wasn't snow then though, other than small patches.

 

Stampede Pass and Lost Lake today. Passed by a red 2nd gen w/ a high clearance rear bumper going up 90

 

Custom topper situation?

 

Made my way up over Green's Pass and down into the Naches today. Looks like most, if not all the roads are back open.

 

Yup, based on Iggy’s design

Ok here we go
In PR, 24 of 26 hospitals are running on generator power. 2 of 46 waste water plants are operating. The rest need total rebuild. 6 of the 60+ power generators are running. They need 48 new generators, bearing in mind they are all over 4 mw units. Only 6 of 56 domestic water pumps are working.
Most need to be replaced.
Estimate power for 75% of island 4-10 months for basic service, 2-5 years for permanent replacement.
North end of is. 80% destroyed..
San Juan got off easy. 2MM people.
1st pic.
Any one want a used 737 wing?
2nd. If you look, the chunk of the 9 story center building in sitting on the mall roof. The white rectangle behind the building is a big rig imbedded in the roof.
News said they need drivers, wrong!
They need rigs, as many were destroyed.
Last pic we call puerto ricin palm trees.

 

I was takin a leak @live_discover! Next time lets hit the trail together. Nice pics

 

I was until early afternoon but we had to get headed back east

 

looks great!

 

New to the Tacoma life. I live in Lacey, work on McChord. We haven't hit any trails really, but my family and I have a new tradition of picking up trash in Capitol Forest every weekend. Looking forward to seeing you guys out and about.
