Alabama thread!

Take the fan belt out

 

Lol same box I had um in for you @cubie I gotta add up all my recovery stuff got that smittybilt soft shackle in the door 2 shackles in toolbox one in my receiver shackle mount a tree saver and a bubba rope

 

I'm looking forward to seeing first hand how all this is used. I've watched a few vids and am learning some basics.

 

Nothing beats the winch slow and steady and safe recovery, flipped a small tractor with my bubba rope scary/not safe.

 

Good Coincidence. Woke up at 12:30, couldn’t fall back to sleep and got up for a bit. 1:15, phone rings with people having problems connecting to our vpn. For any night to get a call is bad, but when you happen to already be awake, I consider it a bonus.

 

Morning Bama! Long weekend, woo hoo!

 

@T4golfR here comes another turd floater!

 

It just rolled over my building on base! Sure hope my soft top is good and sealed!

 

you'll find out later lol

 

LOL yep, and either way will be a surprise....whether it be pleasant or unfortunate.

 

Morning everybody!

From AlabamaWX

RADAR CHECK: A batch of strong thunderstorms is moving across the Tennessee Valley region of North Alabama early this morning; these storms are producing frequent lightning and gusty winds, but are expected to remain below severe limits. They will move out of the state by mid-morning; otherwise, today will be warm and humid with a mix of sun and clouds, and some risk of scattered storms this afternoon and this evening. The high today will be in the mid-80s for most communities; the average high for May 22 at Birmingham is 83.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: We project highs in the 87-91 degree range tomorrow through Monday. The sky will be partly sunny, and we will deal with the typical risk of “scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms”. No way of knowing in advance exactly when and where they will form… if you have something planned outdoors you will just have to watch radar trends. The chance of any one spot getting wet each day will be in the 30/40 percent range; very routine weather for late May in Alabama.

NEXT WEEK: The upper ridge will hold over the region, and the weather just won’t change much. Day to day variations in the coverage and placement of scattered showers and storms will be determined by small scale features that the synoptic models just can’t handle days in advance, so we will roll with a persistence forecast. Highs will be mostly in the upper 80s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 2011: Less than one month after the generational tornado outbreak on April 27 that killed 252 people in Alabama, a supercell thunderstorm tracked from extreme southeast Kansas into far southwest Missouri that produced an EF-5 tornado over Joplin, Missouri causing incredible devastation and a tragic loss of life. This storm along with others generated additional tornadoes, wind damage, and flash flooding across far southwest Missouri.

A large portion of Joplin, Missouri was devastated by an EF-5 (greater than 200 mph) tornado resulting in 158 fatalities and over 1000 injured in the Joplin MO area. The Joplin tornado is the deadliest since modern record-keeping began in 1950 and is ranked 7th among the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history.

 

@stronghammer this current turd floater is making the other turd floater float like a turd! Good grief is it raining!

 

yessir we are getting nailed. you met anybody that loves rain? they'd be having the best 2020 ever...

 

Our VPN was not working Tuesday. Thats the downside of working from home. But yea that sucks. Wouldnt want to get calls in the middle of the night.

 

How are those smittybilt soft shackles?

 

I'm curious about this too.

 

I like mine already used it once, like not fooling with the pins or anything flip it through and loop it back in

 

wish i would've bought the smittybilt winch at 15% off.

 

Are Warn winches worth the extra coin? Or would I be happy with a Smittybilt? I got a buddy that stocks these up in MI and he's trying to get me an employee discount on a Warn winch.

 

unfortunately no Warn Winch is 100% made in USA anymore. The VR series is made in china. The truck winches are assembled in Oregon. I read an article.
