why is this here?

[al89]

knock knock hello is there any body out there . ??????????????????????? forget about the swap meet question it was 2 weeks ago . is there any body in the north west that gives a crap about anything.

[Stan Sixes]

I was wondering the same thing... Pretty quiet in the Northwest.

[sgtsteve]

I feel the same way about the Arizona members, don't get too much activity on the SW forums. I think California needs it's own forum though...:rolleyes:

[NovatoriusRex]

It's pretty quiet around here for the most part. We get an occasional trickle of conversation every so often though.

We all have good attitudes. How's that?? ;)

Hey man, I will be looking for you. I've raced at both tracks, but not what you'd call regularly. I'm afraid your Nova will be wayyyy faster than mine:cool:

[bluehat]

Sssshhhhhh!

Man if everybody finds out how good it is out here there will be a stampede and I'll lose my elbow room!! ;);):D:D

Naw they are all stuck in the BS section posting everything under the sun there. Maybe the BS Mod could get off his lazy duff and start moving threads to where they really belong.:p

It sucks here! The weather is bad ALL THE TIME! Our economy stinks! Hmm what other stories can I tell to keep people away ..:rolleyes: Loose lips sink ships.... If we keep everything quiet we can keep the population boom in our area down... YEAH RIGHT!

Guess the bottom line is we just don't have the local Steve's numbers the rest of the country has. Not for lack of trying:D

[Bscman]

Eh, it doesn't just end with novasite members. It's hard to get people from the northwest to do ANYTHING.

Perhaps it's because we're always stuck in traffic? Or trying to find a starbucks? Or at home searching for candles because the wind knocked out the power again? Or busy sandbagging every spring fall and spring to keep the floodwaters out?

Or maybe no one dares leave their homes because they're waiting for that on predicted "big" earthquake that is gunna sink half of sandy-bottomed down town seattle into the sound, and cause damage to our cracking viaducts and dozens of bridge structures that recently failed numerous safety inspections!?!?!?

Nah, we're all just slightly depressed and a little anti-social. :rolleyes:

[JRChevy]

Well since I'm tryin to be social..

BSC,

You ever been to the Grizzly Tools store up that way in Bellingham? I am thinkin about a road trip? Just picked this up and now I need a box pan/brake and a couple other items maybe?

[Bscman]

'matter of fact I have!!!

I picked up my lathe, sandblasting cabinet, miter saw, and a few other odds and ends right off their showroom floor.

It's worth the trip if you're trying to save a few $$ on shipping. Definitely nice to see what you're buying before you order, too. While they've got a nice selection of *decent* tools, they've got some pretty cheap *junk* as well.

They have a big garage sale in house once or twice a year selling scratch and dent items, and stuff they are discontinuing...tried to snag a good drill press last year, but they only had the bench top units on sale. :(

Now that you mention it, I need a new bench grinder...some more polishing wheels, and a new set of stepped drill bits. Maybe I'll find my way up there this weekend. ;)

[JRChevy]

haha!

Yeah I need to hook up with a few buddies and make a trip out of it. I need a few odds and ends and Harbor Freight just don't cut it either. I figgered a lot of their stuff is decent enough to use as a hobby tool. If I was gonna make money at it those aren't the tools to be using.

Funny you mention a Drill press, I need a full height model myself. Got 2 bench units but they just don't cut it. Been scouring C's-list but everyone wants a fortune for used junk. I also need a metal band saw.

If I head up that way I'll let ya know and maybe we can grab a cup of that Starbucks or maybe even a :beer: or 3 ;)

[Bscman]

Sounds good! I'm actually about 20 miles sound of Bellingham, not far off I-5 :D

I haven't been in the harbor freight in Everett...in fact I just recently found out it was even there!

[JRChevy]

Yeah they are few and far between. They are supposed to be opening a new HF in Bellevue someday. It's on the HF site but that info has been there for almost a year?? We'll see.

When I head up that way I"ll ping ya...

Cheers!

Suggestions would be gladly appreciate on things that you feel need to be moved because they belong elsewhere.

I have a feeling I'd piss off more people than I already do if I start moving all of the non-Nova specific stuff out of the BS forum into other areas.

That's a tough line to navigate Jeffy.

We could actually be spending our time in the shop working on our projects instead of sitting at the computer. :D

I am in Seattle and dont know anyone from the area who races there.
Royz

Yep, we'll be out at both tracks with the NPSA group. We run Pro Street. We live 10 min from Pacific Raceway. Probably won't get out until July since my driver wife is having our baby in May. I'd be happy to help with whatever I can.

[Novaz]

Thanks Mike
I think just getting some traction is going to be my biggest problem anyway i am looking forward to learning

[Stan Sixes]

Hey you guys, pretty quiet out there again... I'm waiting for the rest of my Bowtie Overdrives order to arrive so I can start my 700R4 swap. Sure wish it was a little warmer out, since I just have a carport. Hope you all made it through the storm OK.:)

[Novaz]

Hey Stan

heading back to Uk for xmas so no work on car for a week or so .
Royz

[Seattle_Mike]

Don't feel bad...I was in New York this past week and it never got above freezing and snowed sideways most of the week...
Now headed to Boston tomorrow and will be getting back into it again :mad:

[Bscman]

Wooooo!!!

It's snowing here.
Just a had a couple come look at your snowmobiles...sounds like they might be back tomorrow with cash. :cool:

Oh wait...I might need 'em as transportation if this storm keeps up! :rolleyes: (1/4" of snow in the last hour!).

I'll be thinking of your guys when I've got the 170,000BTU heater going in the shop. :p

[Novaz]
