NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I feel like there should be a # in front.

 

I'll be around next couple weekends working on other projects, but all you really need is the lift. Figure a good time for both of you and swing by.

 

Went to a Seahawks game a couple years ago and got a hotel over by Capital Hill. Thought I would take one of my beers with me on the walk to the stadium. Felt a little obvious walking around Seattle at 11am with a can of Rainier so I walked up to a homeless guy and offered it to him. It was unopened. He said "Thanks man, but I quit drinking 20 years ago!" I couldn't believe it and started questioning so many things that I believed to be true. Luckily the next guy had no problem taking it and things were ok again.

 

What area do you live in?

 

Also in other news, I now own a real spring compressor. Mount to the wall type.

 

@Juforrest do you anyone working at the tolt watershed lately? Been seeing some Seattle city light trucks running up and down the main line in Snoqualmie the last week or two.

 

Which one? My buddy was about to drop $700 on a

$905 branick 7600 strut spring compressor

branick 7600...

 

$178 for a 7200. Surplus auction ftw.

 

I’m in Auburn, work on base.

 

Shit, I'm right on your way home from work then.

 

Yeah. I take 512-167 when the 5 is a shit show.

 

exactly we just need your tool bro

 

Yes sir. They are cutting open the penstock again to finish up our robotic cleaner/inspection tool.

 

Ive been |-| this close to being hit head on by their trucks 3-4 times now. They're doing close to 50mph+ and not calling out mile markers on the cb...... Just sayin... I come around a corner a few times and they've literally been in my lane with no warning.

 

Good to know I will inform them of their stupidity. As for the CB portion, stupidity runs deep at Scl. We don't have them in our trucks.

 

My crew just rolled in and I informed them. Of course they say it isn't them but they will pass it on to the other Scl crews out there. Can you tell me what they are driving?

 

There's only one outfit that I know of that drives bumble bee yellow dump trucks, besides scarscella but these where definitely scl trucks. If I wasn't more concerned with finding a way out, I would have been looking at the truck number on the fender to narrow it down. Definitely a scl color peterbilt standard 12yrd with no drop axle, not pickups.

Afaik scl doesn't even have permission to exit to Snoqualmie mainline, only via Kelly road gate.

 

Well that narrows it done. I will inform those folks tomorrow morning.

 

I mean, I'm not trying to be a bitch, but they're ultimately compromising mine and others safety at this point. I'm also not the only one to experience an encounter with these certain scl trucks. A couple other guys I work with brought it up, and I know others that work in that tree farm outside our company will say the same.

You just so happen to be the only contact I know within, maybe a PM would have been better.

Only reason I can see them taking the mainline south is that there's only one gate and it's always open before 4pm. Otherwise the Kelly Rd route has 3-5 gates that they need to stop for. mainline rt saves time for sure, especially when you're doing 50mph vs 35 or even 25 in some spots. I've been on the Kelly road rt before.
