Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

thanks! We now have an office over off Park rd by the valero tubes. If you ever need flooring ill hook you up

 

I have one for Kings. It's T-handle and is more like a punch than a spanner.

Which shocks do you have?

 

Are you coming on Sat? I have spanners for Fox 2.5s...

 

Just heard that some of the campgrounds near Hell Hole are closed due to the risk of mudslides and downed/dangerous trees.

Sounded strange since those campgrounds are usually closed now.

 

Just finished putting Icon 2.5s in. I'll be at the Christmas tree run but I'm thinking about letting it roll and see where they end up. I could probably raise it another inch but they are giving me more than what the beaten OMEs did and it feels better.

 

Let them settle for a bit before you do anything.

 

Ian did you set your drivers side with more preload to compensate for taco lean?

 

Holy rain... thought I was gonna hydrolock the taxi tonight, hit about a half foot deep puddle not paying attention. Be safe everybody.

 

Watch out for that big one on Lakeville by traxx

 

Down South Motorsports did that for me.

It's really coming down at the moment. Maybe 1/3" an hour and about a 1/2" total since midnight-we got a little more than that all day yesterday.

 

I know the one, it's a puddle compared to in front of goodwill, was about an inch almost all the way across the road and covering the curb, good times...

 

I heard Petaluma Blvd South at 101 is closed. Accident caused by a giant puddle?

 

Are we still in a drought?

 

Unless you live in Southern California, yes.

The news was discussing the drought and conservation rates. Northern California has been conserving at 15% whereas Southern California, just over 1%. Amazing.

The other thing they said was even if we got 150% of normal rainfall, we'd still not have filled all of the reservoirs.

 

So are you at 2.5"? 3"?

 

that's awful! Maybe if they where to split california into two states we could sale them out water and or control it a bit more.

 

3 now.

 

Yes.

But.

I heard some radio "air heads" on the radio lambasting the strawman that "this rain doesn't make any difference."

That's stupid. Of course this storm makes a big difference. The rainfall is filling all our storage mechanisms:

* Underground aquifers
* Reservoirs
* Plants and crops that store and consume water and that would otherwise need to draw down our storage even further through irrigation

That said - all those storage mechanisms are SO depleted that a single good fall storm is NOT nearly enough to fill them up.

So, while the rain is a good thing and we're now building up instead of depleting storage reserves, we'll continue to be in a drought situation until we get couple of good solid wet years that can really top off our storage.

 

We hit seasonal totals last night in Solano County already.

 

Cool.
