NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I’ll hit you up next year

 

Yes, I am the chainsaw feller. But now I am into dirt bikes.

 

Have you tried to juggle chainsaws while riding dirt bikes?

 

I am no good at those things on their own.

 

Might be strange of me to be inactive for several months and then ask a question, but...

Is anyone interested in doing a Christmas tree run at Keechelus Ridge off I-90 later this month/next?

We did it last year and had a good run, just gotta time it right.

 

You've also gotta make sure the snowpark isn't active yet.

 

I think we were negligent last year and headed up and ran into snowmobiles, but they were cool. Nobody likes fines though...

 

The ones I ran into last year weren't cool, and the best part is that the snow park actually wasn't active yet.

 

There’s a thread someone started for a Christmas tree meet up. I’m in after it snows a little. Wouldn’t be as fun without getting a little stuck

make em really tight. Use 2-3 bunjis per tire

 

No tie downs needed for that bad boy? Or, am I just not seeing it.

 

Is his crane sticking into the middle of it?

 

Couldn't tell when I passed.

 

He made his passenger crawl in the center and hold em down. We’re not goin far, who needs straps?

 

Looking to get some tech support on what needs to happen to get my free chainsaw working...

 

"Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again?"

 

That thing probably weighs so much that if something happened to make it come loose, your straps aren't going to help anyway.

 

Ideally it would take the truck with it. When we haul our portable jaw crusher on the highway, legally we're required to have 10 anchor points with 1/2" chain on it since it weighs 117,000lbs. That's just the weight of the machine, add another 55k# for the tractor and lowbed.



When we get to narrow and sketchy roads in the woods with big iron the lowboy driver will usually take all but one or two chains off. I asked one day why he does that and he said "if that fucker starts to go over, I don't want it taking the whole truck and me with it." Makes sense to me!

 

ETA: NVM

 

I think that’s a safe bet.

Was wondering the same thing up until that last sentence. Small piece of info with some serious implications.
