PNW Info Thread!

[DiverDarrell]

Well talked with the trucking company who pick up my truck from ft Bragg today. Turns out they didn't bring ramps to get it on the trailer. The gp agent and the truck driver jumped the starter, and turns out the truck runs great. They drove it to a ramp and loaded it. Looks like I won't need to worry about a tow bar anymore.

That's great DD. "Better to be lucky than right"

Way to go Team! As my Belgian friend always tells me, "it is a good thing that you don't have to be good looking to be lucky, because you are very lucky." Will look forward to seeing that rig at one of our events. Did you get a tan or green truck?

 

[DiverDarrell]

Camo. 1994 with canvas.

 

[REO 54]

Looks like discussion of this event begins with Post #81 in this thread:

Seems to be an ANNUAL, rather than a Year-specific, kind of thread.

Hope that helps.

My truck was delivered. Air relief valve was missing from the air dryer. And the starter has issues. Jumped the post on the starter. And first gear got her up the driveway with 2 of the rear 4 air can caged

Oh, man, she just looks so good.

What's one or two problems when it just looks so right!?

 

[DiverDarrell]

For 6k a couple issues are ok. Took a gamble on a non runner at auction, and looks like I'll make out alright

You know what kind of used car you might pick up for $6K?

I think you "done" good.

Yeah.

I was supposed be at Camp Murray @ State EOC, but have to work.. rather.. HAD to work.... put in an all nighter last night and cleared jobs for today, but still gotta work through the weekend. hehe..

Grays Harbor has one tent and one HMMWV set up for operations. Not much of a response for an area that's really going to be impacted. Or maybe they're thinking we'll be too impacted and assets will be at a minimum.

 

[Special T]

From what ive heard about the plan all assets will be coming from the east side since the west side will be leveled. I was told to think of 5-6 min of continious shaking with a short brake and several aftershocks at magnitude 8 or up. Not a lot is gona survive that. Perhaps they are thinking that the lone hummer and radio will be what survives the quake. I know there was a rather large convoy last weekend from spokane setup shop along 405 some where.
I was told to expect 90%+of bridges and overpasses to be destroyed... btw thats a lot up where I live... and then a big wall of water that will enter the Puget sound and slosh around. Everything west of I5 wiped off the state...
