This is in response to Mike's (PMB) thread about slabbage: /viewtopic.php?f=33&t=93215

Rita & I are headed down to Mike's place this coming Saturday (01 Sep 2018). Since the powers that be have seen fit to restrict the number of people us peasants can send to in PM's, let's arrange this in the thread.

My truck's back in fine fiddle again and can carry up to about 1-3/4 tons of wood (3600 lbs according to the specs). I won't be bringing a trailer as my bed is a bit over 9' with the tailgate down and Mike's reasonably sure none of the slabs are much beyond that.

We're planning on heading down Saturday morning, and returning the same day, late afternoon / early evening. If you'd like us to transport your slab(s), we're asking that you provide help with unloading / loading, be relatively close to a freeway exit (I-5 or maybe 169 if that makes more sense, and then 405 N) and on time. We'll text you on our way up with approximate times we'll get to your location so make sure to include a phone number. If we can bundle & save by having several drop offs at the same place, then more hands make the work light. We'll also arrange the slabs in reverse order in the truck so it's relatively easy to get to yours when it's time.

I know several people have slabs coming to them, so let's coordinate in here to make everyone happy. I also know there are some secret squirrel deliveries to be made, so if necessary PM me to arrange those as well.

So far, I've heard from:

Mike (Sinus211)
Jim (Jukk0u)
Brian (SportsDad60)
Jim (Isildur)

Hiya DelliottG...
In lieu of responding to your private message and encountering the same limitations and exclusions us lesser members have with the PM system... (on second thought, I'll PM my address so you can look it up on the Google and see if it's someplace you wouldn't mind as a drop point)

I'm over to Kirkland... about 2 miles off of Hiway 405 exit at 160th so possibly quite near your route home to Dooooo-vall? Do you go the Woodinville Doovall road home off of 520 when heading north from Guatemala?

I don't know what you and Sinus discussed, but I can store his goodies here in my garage if that make it any easier on him and you.


Let me know, please, if you have different plans/ideas.

Thanks for the PM, looks like you're not too far from the hospital so it'd be relatively easy to drop there and an easy shot home via 124th. If Mike's OK with me dropping his stuff off (and maybe Kyle too, I think he's getting a slab that Mike could then mule up to him?), that works for me.

I'm in for assistance in any way I can.
I can be wherever ya need me to help. If its in Redmond on Sat, I need about 2 hrs heads up.

Thanks Brian, do you have a slab coming up as well? My current plan is to stop at Jim (Jukk0u's) place and drop his and Mike's slabs. Paul (Pablo) lives two blocks away from me, so that's an easy drop. The extra manpower would be welcome if you could make it to Jim's place for the drop off.

Anyone else have a slab coming up from South America?

A bit off the scroll, but the lords have heard the tales of the peasants bellowing about how many pigeons they are allowed to set free at once. How many pigeons doth the people feel they need?

Yes, I believe PMB has set a slab aside for our new Montana home. I am not sure where Jim lives? Is he the one in Redmond?

He's in Kirkland, not too far from Evergreen Hospital.



Dan, thanks for asking. For me at least, the most I've ever needed to be able to communicate with has been maybe half a dozen? That seems like a reasonable number, maybe a few more, say 10? Do you have room in your coop for that?

I have never used more than two but then again it sounds like these guys are using a few more!
I'll let them chime in.

If there is room and storage from any of you northenders I would love a slab. I should be able to pick up next weekend but I’m not sure if my schedule atm.

TEN IT IS!

How, who to pay? How much?

one side of my garage has free space, Matt. I'll be staging a bunch of slabs I think. I'm pretty sure we can pack it in there until you can get down here.

If Mike ends up coming down for his slabs, maybe you can sweet talk him into taking it north and it would then be 40 minutes closer to you.

You're the man Dan, thanks!

No way! Fuck that Matt guy!
