North West BS Thread

that's awesome

 

My wife broke her ankle. She is pain thinking I should just put her down humanely of course, I am not a monster.

 

Ouch! I just fell in my driveway. Landed on my elbow and knee. Still working. Just smarts a bit. Hope she heals quickly.

 

Getting slick out in my area. Freah snow on a layer of ice. Damn winds last night turned the whole place into an ice rink

 

We got 6" in NCW yesterday, what about you guys down south?

 

Got about 4 inches. Most melted now continueing to snow and we have about 3-4 inches. Supposed to snow until 10pm. So possibly another 2-4 inches.

 

Down here in the banana belt of the Tri-cities we only got a dusting today. Just enough to make it slick again. I got to pull my neighbor out of a bush as he slid his Rav through the corner into our neighborhood. Good news is he took out the weird peoples bush that was ugly as sin and he was ok physically. I told him he should of kept going and wiped out all their ugly bushes. He agreed and laughed.

 

Amazing what 60 miles will do. Currently dumping on us over here

 

Warmed up to mid 40s here, not much snow here this week and is almost all gone. My truck got bird bombed so bad while I was at the fitness center, I had to wash the Tundra.

 

Sunset Falls on the East fork of the Lewis river SE of Yacolt, WA

 

Finally got some sun in eastern Wa! 35°

 

^ Looks good - Silver Sky love... Just the Bilstein's on that ride?

 

Currently 54 and sunny. Lovong this weather break. Winter will rear its ugly head again soon.

 

Thanks, yeah got 6112's @ 1.3 the week I got it. Trying to wear these stock tires out as fast as I can

 

54!? Dang man, get the shorts out

 

Feels like it! Had to ditch the coat this morning.

 

Picking up my new puppy today! cant wait to get off of work!

 

Tropical heat wave!

 

Yea buddy! Trying to figure out how to leave work and not get caught to enjoy this heat wave.

 

Just got off. Going to go get new puppy!

 

Congrats and get some pics! Snuck out and working on the DIY bed rails.

 

congrats on the new puppy! My wife sends me pics of some silver labs and a chocolate. I say heck yeah how much...she says 1850. Guess we are just looking at those pics.

 

Thank you! 2 weeks makes such a huge difference. Little chunker now compared to when i saw him last.

Silvers are rare therefore expensive. I think there are three left. $500. 2 yellow/red and a black. All male. Not papered.

He's trying to get to sleep with the husky. Husky is unsure of him right now lol. Ill get better pics soon.

 

I like the strut idea
I've thought about doing the same thing, what is your plan for tie-downs?

 

Following the ideas in this thread. Just going to try using channel nuts first.

I dig the bottle opener attachment. Did that years ago on a previous vehicle on the rear bumper. Was always funny to watch people's expressions in my rear view mirror when they figured out what it was.

 

Any of you guys have experience in the North central part of the state around Tonasket and Loomis? I'm looking at camping spots this summer on BLM land (Palmer Mountain/Washburn Lake and Chopaka Mountain/Lake) and need some insight.

Curious if anyone has been up in that area and knows how well a small travel trailer will fit in those regions. Plus how busy they get in the summer. Online pics are limited and they're first-come, first-served locations. I'd hate to haul all the way over there to get stuck down a one-lane road or in a zoo of humanity.

Think I'm going to make a weekend trip out of it and go check it out this spring for some early recon. But your ideas are welcome too.

 

Wow, it's pretty quiet around here. Everyone working out driving their Tundra?

What does everyone have planned this weekend? We're making a foodie run to Bainbridge Island for lunch. Looks to be big winds and solid rain, so the ferry ride should be fun. Sent the dog to a Rover last night so we didn't have to manage his butt on this trip and he went all nervous nelly on the sitter. Hid in the backyard in the pouring rain and wouldn't come inside. Had to go get him after a few hours, so he'll be sitting in the truck most of the day. Such a goof.

 

Warm but windy here. Thinking about ordering in for lunch. Dont feel like going anywhere.
