Today we had a great time at the first west coast woodgas meetup. Like usually there was a lot of food and we had a great time visiting. We spent some time chunking and we each walked around and talked about our truck and what we will do next time. Lol. Then we had a long story time. each talked about mechanic and fab stories along with bike wrecks and anything else we thought about. I was a blast. Thanks to Mike and Connie Gibb for hosting and for there Daughter and Son and Law, Kathy and Chris for running the grill and cooking lots of really great food.

I had a great time, maybe next time I’ll have the chevotafire road worthy enough for the 55 mile drive 🤣 I think Mike will get the first ride in it since he is the closest to me and I can swing by his place after work once I get it up and going well. Thanks very much for having me out guys!

Won’t be the last time I think Jo was right, pretty sure I’m in for the long haul with this hobby. And I didn’t even see your trucks running hahaha

I just realized that too. We should have fired them up. I guess we got to busy talking.

My brother Pavel said when we went to the competition in the laying of hands of Slovenia that there will not be a lot of people here, that this is a sport of village specials and also people who deal with wood gas, we probably fall into this category

I took a chapter out of Tom Sawyer to start refilling the bins and bags to replace the 1300 lbs of dry wood chunks
The day before Kent, Jakob and I cut 7 ash trees on my neighbors property and split the stuff larger than say 2” and chunked most of it
Refilled about 25 - 5 gallon buckets or maybe 320 lbs when dried.
What a hard working crew but we sure had fun!

Special thanks to Chris and Cathi my son in law and daughter who made the chow plentiful and tasty.
