NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sup Doods!

What’s up with doing a mod weekend?

Anyone interested. Should we start thread for all gens?

 

You shouldn't modify your truck. Toyota perfectly engineered every part of that truck to absolute perfection, and you can't possibly make it any better

 

So you’re saying there’s a chance

 

No to the bushing trade as I no longer have the truck so don’t need them but let me know on the fishbowl. I know it fits airflow not sure about safari. If not, then Ben gets it!

 

Does this count for Overland Bound?



Power has been out since 1:50 am....

 

Only if you used a spotter to get it into your kitchen.

 

And sleeping in a RTT in the driveway and cooking on a Scottle

 

Damnit, no spotter, no RTT and no Scottle. Failboat City!!

 

No micro brew for you!

 

uh oh, I'm a safari snorkel but 1st gen so thangs differ...

 

I’ll measure it tomorrow and let you know

 

What a weekend to go Steelhead fishing. At least I got 4 days of wheeling and shooting in. Between the torrential down pours, sustained 30 mph wind storms, and waking up to a foot of snow while at the top of a steep double track.

 

power still out in my neighborhood. Trees fell on powerlines, houses, cars. our neighbor generously hooked up our freezer to their generator. That was our biggest concern. We were putting bags of ice in there. We'll need to get a generator but not sure when I can afford it.

 

I heard you can't even leave!? Pse had the uplands Rd closed, and there's a tree across the entrance to the rim?

 

yep the entrance has a tree blocking, this morning they had flaggers letting us through uplands rd while they worked on lines. My girlfriend was telling me about a third way to get out. Some kind of a shared dirt road driveway for multiple houses and it pops out on CFR. Phone internet wasn't even working for while.

I made sure backup batteries were charged before it went down to charge phones and other devices. Battery is on a solar panel today. The kids think it's the end of the world with no power and no youtube. But we busted out the board games and had a good time anyways. Motion sensors are all battery operated. I woke up last night when one went off and it was the neighborhood deer LOL

We're doing fine. LED lanterns, head lamps, flashlights, candles, gas grill, emergency food. I'm just short on beers and vodka.

 

Yeah there's a right of way road that the water line is burried under that can be used for access in situations like this from what I was told.

 

looks like Wednesday 3pm is estimated repair time

 

That’s when shit gets really scary

 

Looks like it's snowing up there right now. Just had a hail storm move through here at work.
