Perhaps in WV the hack saw is all they use and he was going ta Hack Saw Massacre everyone. A flamming torck in a fire proof bank? He must have been from Ketchikan. Or pehapes Petersburg. There's mostly Vikings there.

That's what I was thinking about when I posted. Not necessarily Eastwood, but a hand gun anyway.

Hay guys. My Sis in at Harbor View recovering from a heart attack. And my two little brothers are stranded in down town Seattle with car trouble. If they call back and still haven't gotten any help, is there anyone around there that could help them out?

Call Me

Just give me a call...It will take about four hours for me to get there, but I won't let them be stranded.

Thanks Mike. I tried ta PM ya but with this winter storm my DSL is slower than dial up tonight. I haven't heard from them in quite a while. They were going ta call a long time family friend in Humptulips by Lake Quinalt ta bring them some tools. Knowing him as I do he would jump at the chance ta get together with them. Thanks for the phone #. It means a lot to my that you are willing to go out of your way ta help folks ya don't even know. Most people (like thoughts in the Seattle area that are on here) Wont bother cuz they don't want ta be bothered. I figured if any one would volunteer it would be someone from the bush. It just seems that country folk are more prone ta help out than others. I have lived in the Seattle area when going ta Clover Pass tech school. And in the Bothell, Linwood area also. As well as places like LA and Portland so I can relate ta how most city folk don't want ta get involved.

Yes that is the Motto of the bush. And I don't mean G W. That is the first thing I love about Alaska. All the home guards are like that. But the Flatlanders (tourists) Will drive right by a woman and kids along side the road a hundred miles from anywhere and never give it a thought. I just can't understand there reasoning. Thanks again and I will let ya know when I know. Still can't get into my PM's. Maybe in the AM.

I tried ta get into my PM's again Mike but we are in the middle of another (or the same) Winter Blizzard we been in since November. Haven't had a winter this hard since the 70,s. The boy's must be doing OK. Wish I would a got his cell # when I talked to him last. But i got CRS. Or the meds that I am taking to keep me going till surgery on the 15th art helping the mine either.
Again thanks for being there Mike. And I will sure use ya if we need to. But I am a firm believer in GGOA nobody rides for free. So we will make it right with ya if I have ta call.
How's that for an acronim. Darn spell cheaker won't even work. Man am I tired of the snow. If I ever get healed up the winters can be fun again. But for now it is a PITA.

A lot happened in 14 hours since I was last here! I'm a ferry ride and two hours North of Seattle. Get rid of your CRS and figure out the PM's and their cell phone number, that's lame, and tell me when/where your brothers need help.

Rgr that. I've got a lot of tools -- if your bro's need help be sure and tell me what the truck repair problem is so I can take the right tool. Other than the normal wrenches and BIG HAMMER

I hope your sister is doing better, heart disease is lousy. Both of our Dad's are in and out of hospitals the past few years.

I would think you are going to need a really BIG hammer to make this Crysler Egale look like a truck. Still no word so they must be Ok.
I know my spelling is bad. I have a low DSL signal because of the storm and can't get into my PM's or my spell checker.
There problem was with the starter. Had them try the A/C relay in place of the starter relay. No go. And It has a plugin on the solinoid so they can't jump it there. But like I say no news is good news. I wish ta heck he would call.
