Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The main spillway is rated for 100 year storm.

They had to put in the auxiliary storm drain when they did some major improvements to the power house 30 or so years ago.

What what I understand the main spill way is rated for 8000cfs and the auxiliary is rated for 23,000 cfs.

 

Residential and commercial mostly. Some of these residential projects are rather large, thousand plus lots. A lot of these big developments have drainage ponds AKA bio retention ponds that are designed to withstand 100 year floods.

Small potato’s compared to 1000yr flood.

 

So the reservoir sits in a creek bed with a diversion for creek water upstream of the reservoir around the reservoir and dumps it down stream of the Moccasin dam.

The reservoir should only see Hetch Hetchy water. Sometimes Moccasin creek over tops the diversion structure and spills into Moccasin reservoir which is bad and in the case yesterday very bad.

Fortunately we had shut down the Hetch Hetchy aqueduct for some planned system work before all this happened so there was/is no Hetchy water being delivered to the city.

 

So, squeaky squeaky TC uppers getting some lube. Looking closely at driver side coil. There’s scraping on it. Odd. So upon further review, in full droop the UCA is hitting the coil. What gives?

 

the new new RTT

 

RTB...

 

Quit leaving pavement and stick to the mall.







Also, rotate the spring.

 

From the looks of the uniball, you may need to to run straps.

 

But ultimately, this.

 

Oh FFS!



That’s possible. Sounds like a royal PITA.

 

How is that done?

Ah yes, the seasonal park-pond.

 

Oh, holy crap. The parts aren’t expensive but........ wow. I don’t understand how the LCA is involved.


It’s slways sumthin!

 

I need to do straps too, seems like a good project too learn to weld for.

 

Unlikely, but see if it’ll spin with a bit of force and the suspension unloaded.

I have sams old stock LCAs set up for straps already. Yours if you want them.

 

So for the next hour I'm a Warden at the shop. I give permission to off-road where you please.

 

Off-roading straight to the bar as I type this

TGIMF!

 

We haven’t done any of the said ponds in a while. The ponds as of late have all been fully functional bio pond that take that ridiculously expensive “magic” dirt.

depending how long I was at the bar




Would!

 

Thanks, for the link. So, can you do some welding for me?
