Give the Spruce Goose a big howdy from WV

If you have time while you are here, PM me and maybe we can get together for lunch, dinner or something. I work in Seattle but live north of there.

Spruce Goose is not in Seattle.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Bring a slicker.....

 

[ondarvr]

It should be 90 while he's in town.

Delta is a customer of mine, they don't buy nearly as much (composites) now that they have been building more with steel. I haven't been in there with my new company yet.

Scott, will you be at IBEX in Kentucky?

 

[MTboatguy]

The Spruce Goose is currently in McMinnville, Oregon

 

[Watermann]

Just be happy you don't have to drive in that Seattle mess. I rarely venture over there from the sunny right side of WA. State.

 

[Scott Danforth]

Ondarvr, Not sure if we will be at IBEX. currently gearing up for FLIBS. (Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show). we do best in Amsterdam

WIMUSKY, its almost 90 and sunny.

arrived at noon, checked into hotel, met our rep for lunch at the Denny's next door, then off to Delta. finished for the day, had a beer or two at 13 coins, then off to take care of emails, etc. there is a jack in the box next door, since I had a hankering for a shake and sourdough burger, the hankering has been taken care of

Have dinner plans later this week with a former employee of mine who is now director of powertrain at Paccar. cant wait to touch base and catch up.

 

[ondarvr]

At one time Paccar had a lot parts made in this area, I sold a lot of gel coat for them. They moved all of it to Mexico several years though.

I hope you enjoy your visit here.

Probably 300+ miles south of Seattle. Seattle mind you, the land of the $15 minimum wage for burger flippers and now the new Gun violence tax of $25 per gun.

 

[Scott Danforth]

what is up with the traffic on 405? absolutely nuts to have an average speed of 22mph.

 

[ondarvr]

22 mph, you hit it on a good day, sometimes the traffic is bad.

 

[ondarvr]

It has been a bit hazy due to the wildfires burning on the East side of the state, with a red glow in the sky at sunrise

 

[MTboatguy]

22 MPH in Seattle, I am surprised you didn't get a speeding ticket!

 

[ondarvr]

It looks like Scott drug some of the FL weather to Seattle. A sudden storm with Lightning and thunder, heavy rain and hail blasted through, not normal for this area, but the rain was needed.

Weather has been odd in the west this year, where I live, no rain other than a 5 minute burst every once in a while, Monday night, 125 miles south of me, massive thunder storm, knocked out power, thousands of trees down, massive damage, just wild.!

 

[Harritwo]

We had a quick mild shower at Lake Union at lunch, The Admiral said there was Hail in Snohomish, and the Homeport of Marysville didnt even get wet that i could tell by the time i got home.
