NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Seattle was 10.5 this year and they changed a lot of it to have several obstacles where first timers and legionnaires split. First timers had it easier obviously. 13 person team this year too, me Matthew that you met, the other younger brother Jonathan, oldest brother David, and the rest were David's coworkers. There are headbands for 25 and 50 TM events completed now too. A legionarie only obstacle was climbing up scaffolding, then jumping out to slap the farthest bell out and land on an airbag 10 feet below. I landed the airbag just fine, but my knee was feeling like trying to hit a bell by jumping out was a bad idea. Parking has $30 premium online purchase only, $18.50 online purchase general parking, or $20 onsite cash. They had nice shirts at the end again as well, not the cotton ones like last year. Beer was Shocktop Apple, Pretzel, or original.

 

Probably going to need a 1" 2 hole emt strap. 1 hole strap is stiffer and may be more prone to dropping the line later.
There are also P clamps, typically plastic that can do the same, but getting the right size could be tricky.
Eye ties could be used as well, aka zip ties with eyes. Zip ties will wear out and break in a couple years though, but they are easy and fast. I am using them to hold the HID ballasts in wife's car.

 

Ok, took the 15th of October off work. Planning on doing a day trip to Manastash. Looking to do intermediate or advanced tracks. Everyone is welcome to join! I'll assume the rigs everyine would be bringing are set up a little more than stock. Pinstripes or possibility of dents are probable. Can I start a list?

 

All good ideas too! I just listed the first that came to mind! Luckily that bracket is nothing more than a guide really so it should last quite awhile no matter what is used

 

So very tempting. At this point, I will say maybe but not likely. My 4wd is out, I suspect the ADD is the issue. I am working in NE OR so not home to fix it. I have OT this weekend, then maybe home next weekend, with maybe and hopefully an easy fix. Then depending on OT for work, I might then be able to make it.

 

Holy hell! Right on man. Sounds like you had a fun team man. Maybe next year I'll be in a better spot financially.

And man, parking is a lot of $$$! Under Armour type shirts?

 

Yep, gray in color this year. The team basically split up between the more and less athletic. I did late registration and paid $230+

 

Now we're talking, you da man Nick! Tomorrow I'm hitting up home de-pot and picking me up a couple of those. Great thinking!

 

I dig it! Zip ties are great for everything, or Panduits as some people might call em

 

It's because you use a panduut cutter to cut them...

I wish. Traveling every weekend that I'm not working through Thanksgiving. Then holiday at the mall. (Yay)

 

Yeah I bet your not looking forward to nov, dec. Except for bonus I guess....

 

Well that's not the reason they are called that. It's a name of a company that makes them. We call them that in the airplane manufacturing world.

I wonder if I could SUA the RA of my T4R in order to make my MT more of an LT. My BHLM may limit my UT but my DT should really benefit from the SUAS. CMC

hahahaha

 

It's a hell of a long drive from Bellingham but I've always wanted to check out Manastash. Count me in!

 

I think the 15th is opening rifle season, might be a shit load of people up there.

 

this. I'll be out that day looking to

 

It was great meeting you guys last night! @Benson X @mutilatedjak @tinker_troy @Tayoflor @can0nfan2379 @lockwire24
