been splitting my time the last couple years between Auburn Wa, and the east coast. All the boating is on the east coast now.
Have some restaurants in Wa. that you may know. The Rock Wood Fired Pizza

 

[spectras only]

Don, still no luck finding anything about your Nordic?

 

[Loo Dog]

I have older relatives just outside of sisters overlooking some river or stream that escapes me at the moment. 500 or 1000 feet down to the water.

Metolius River? That water is amazingly clear.

I am having no luck trying to figure it out . They are about 5 miles past the school heading north if my memory serves me correctly on a development with 2 to 5 acre lots. Its been a while since I was there.

nothing on the nordic. probably sitting in a warehouse somewhere while the drug dealer who Tim sold it to does his time

Probably met you years ago when mike was airbrushing your helo and stuff.

@buck35 if I remember correctly didn't you work at Alcoa? If yes, did you work with Joe Gates?

 

[buck35]

@buck35 if I remember correctly didn't you work at Alcoa? If yes, did you work with Joe Gates?

Yes I did . Fellow cherry grower, I haven't seen Joe in a few years . I hope all is well with him and his wife. how do you know Joe?

 

[nameisbond]

I don't know his wife well, just met her this last Christmas. The Gates family farm was our next door neighbors. Joe was on our irrigation districts board of directors. The holding pond is on our property. So most of the summer I saw Joe.

 

[nameisbond]

Oh, I almost forgot my neighbor in Eaglerock also worked for Alcoa. He was in management. I forget his last name. First name Bob.

 

[941Punk]

Without further mucking up Hulas thread, who all lives up here and where ? I know where some are and have a good idea of others , but no clue of many. For what it's worth I live in the Wenatchee valley area in Washington.

My buddy Ryan Lane is from there. From what people tell me, he's a local legend. Who the fuck knows. lol

His Dad's place up stemilt Creek , or his place in s. Wenatchee off Miller street.

One of our electrical bosses and another in the main office were bobs, but both last names are escaping me . I think the one you are referring to was dark hair turning grey. The other was a smallish guy with blond hair.
There were 500 of us, so I knew a lot more faces than names.
I just remembered our plant manager in the early 2000s was also a Bob .

 

[nameisbond]

His dads place...…….

 

[buck35]

His dads place...…….

I've been there a few times. Is he still doing the deal with horses for kids?

 

[nameisbond]

I'm not sure about the horse deal...…… Christmas he was boxing up turkeys for the food bank. We have several pallets of boxes, so we gave him some. So saw him and his wife at Christmas.

 

[Crackerbox]

My buddy has a cabin about 10 miles north of town near a snow park , supposed to go up in the next week or two if it works out.

Cool. I'm building a cabin on some acreage right near that snow park.

 

[Crackerbox]

I am also in Olympia. Live across the street from the black lake boat launch and also do the Columbia river..I also own a couple business's here in town. One that caters to the RV and boating crowd ( Northwest Coach) and another that caters to the custom projects crowd ( Toy Factory Fabrication ). I used to love it here but the politics and catering to the drug zombies has me looking to head south in a few years..

I learned how to ski on Black Lake in 1969 behind my dads little aluminum boat with a 9.8 merc. I was 6 years old. We lived in Ken Lake.

 

[cpdad93]

I live just outside Spokane on the WA/ID border.

Brings back old memories chasing women and drinking at peabodys state line Idaho

 

[buck35]

These posts show how small the world is . Our good friends lived at black lake and now have a place in Lakeview and a summer spot in Ion.

"The Rock" restaurants are not your run of the mill pizza are tavern type places. Lots of money spent on decor and great food, based around a wood fired oven. Great food and great service at the couple I have been to. The location in Bothell is near me and has an industrial almost mining theme to it. Again, the food and staff are great, try them out if you have the chance.

 

[AZLineman]

I live in Coeur D Alene, Idaho and love it here. I am also a Realtor here so if anyone is interested in our Real Estate Market here feel free to give me a call

They have The Rock in Salem I've been a couple times but never thought it was that amazing. Must be the location

I live in Lynnwood as well, any chance you are the guy with the "RDSUX" sticker on the chevy truck? I keep getting off the freeway behind it. Small world. I have a jet boat that I am on the Snohomish in just about every weekend from May-Sep not sure what size boat you have but if it's not huge you should come out some time if you haven't already 15-20 boats every Sat-Sunday lately. Another huge performance boat deal up here is Skagen Boats end of summer bash at the Potholes the weekend after laborday. It caters to the smaller boats too but more and more big boats show up every year last year had a bunch, probably 200 plus V-drive/jets and 20 plus larger prop boats, maybe more.

Naw, I'm a Ford guy and live south of Wenatchee a few miles.

BTW. Bring that boat over , it's flat water here most of the day.

 

[Driptruck]

Ya, I meant to reply to WAAZ post.

 

[Headless hula]

You jokers better have that get together you are talking about.

Bare minimum a raft up with a group pic.



Hate to have all this chatter turn into just that.

The deal you are referring to is the potholes thing , right? Weekend after labor day we always have gone down below Crescent bar for that gathering.

 

[nameisbond]

I haven't herd of the potholes thing. Knew of Skagen boats from when I had a jet boat. The stretch of Columbia in Wenatchee is perfect for jets and V-drives, its always flat water...…….. During Apple Blossom would be a good meet time frame. Too bad the hotels there book up then on weekends.

 

[buck35]

The weather is really iffy and the water is ice cold from runoff early May.

I am predicting snow in May.

This year would not surprise me.enough already!

No kidding, more flurries expected this evening.

This seems to be my view most of the season this year, note that this was a good day I didn’t have to chain. LOL

That view is why I'm avoiding going to Wenatchee!!!!!

During Apple Blossom, I'm usually in shorts.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

HWY 58 in Oregon yesterday. Luckily I was in the Hellcat, it does great on shit roads..... Winter needs to leave!

 

[buck35]

This our current status...

Last year the tulips and daffodils were up.

I used to run Highway 58 every week until OSP started enforcing the chain law and sat at the top waiting for you to drive by and write you a ticket if they didn’t hear chains clinking away. At least they got it opened back up after the last big storm. LOL

 

[spectras only]

We have Skaha Lake partially frozen. Not in December, January or February but bloody March.Earth must have been tilting too far, shifted the season. Our track opens April 1st, April fools joke will be on us if it will snow that day

It's hard to express the atmosphere of the Skagen Mardon event in pics but these give you an idea. They do a pig roast Friday night and have a live band Saturday night. It just keeps growing.

 

[Travmon]

A bunch of my friends from oly go to Skagens deal each year. I always seem to be somewhere else that weekend. They do some drag racing too..Maybe one of my jet boats will be done this year and I can go.

If the truck you're referring to is a stock '01 burgundy red chevy, odds are it's me. I live off 164th in Lynnhood - hang out in Crescent Bar in the summer.

That's the one, I just saw it a few weeks ago but gave been behind you several times since. I am on 188th up from the Harley dealer.

 

[nameisbond]

I can't believe the weather, its been awhile since we've had snow in March here. Yesterday, it hit 50, so hope it gets warmer now.

Dumb!

Back in 1982 or 83, I woke up to snow falling on April 4th in Vancouver. Had the snow tires already removed from my Vette. Luckily it was a one day event.

 

[sprintcvx]

Supposed to be 60 by this coming weekend around the Puget Sound! :thumbup

 

[nameisbond]

Its getting warmer here too. But the rain is supposed to come back.
