Alabama thread!

It’s Salt Creek Falls, just south of Oxford near the Kentuck OHV trails.

That’s absolutely stunning. I lived up there for around 3 years many moons ago and never knew that was there.

 

Got the front fender flares ready to get LineXed

 

one step closer

 

This will finish up all the body work. Got to weld on the frame mounts for the links, both front and back brake lines, Pan Hard bar, all the hydro steering, mount both transfer cases, have a front drive shaft made, get the front links made, front shock towers and shocks, get the shocks filled, and run a new ground for the winch because I cut it into two pieces with the cut off wheel, lol.

JUST WHAT YOU EXPECT IN SUMMER: A flat upper ridge covers the Deep South, and will remain in place through the week. This keeps the main mid-latitude westerly winds aloft (the jet stream) well to the north, and will set the stage for very routine August weather. We are forecasting partly sunny days with the daily round of random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Most of the showers will come from 1:00 until 11:00 p.m., and the odds of any one spot getting wet reach day are in the 35-45 percent range.

Some locations will see a soaker, but just down the road it will be dry. And, no way of knowing in advance exactly when and where they form… if you have something planned outdoors you just have to watch radar trends. Afternoon highs will be generally in the low 90s, right at average values for mid-August in Alabama.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: I don’t see any reason for the weather to change. Partly sunny, hot, humid with scattered showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours. The high both days will be close to 90, and odds of your front yard seeing rain both days remain at 35-45 percent.

NEXT WEEK: There is some evidence we could see a little increase in the number of scattered showers and storms early in the week due to an upper low nearby, but otherwise the routine summer weather will likely continue, but with lower heat levels. Highs will drop into the 87-90 degree range most days. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: We are watching two tropical waves in the Atlantic. One is a low pressure area located about 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Development of this system is becoming less likely during the next few days while it moves toward the west or west-southwest at around 10 mph.

The one to watch is Invest 94L, which is about 380 miles east-southeast of the Leeward Islands. It is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for some development over the next few days, and a tropical depression could form while the low moves west-northwestward at about 15 mph. The disturbance is forecast to reach portions of the Lesser Antilles by late tonight, then move near the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico tomorrow, and be near Hispaniola around the middle of this week. Tropical storm watches or warnings could be required with
shorter-than-normal lead times for portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. In addition, heavy rains and flooding are likely for the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

Models take 94L right over Hispaniola and Cuba later this week, and if this happens interaction with these islands could result in the system dissipating, or weakening greatly. If anything survives, it could wind up in the far Southeast Gulf of Mexico this weekend, but that is a big “IF”.



The rest of the Atlantic basin, including the Gulf of Mexico, is quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1969: An F3 tornado hit Cincinnati, Ohio, killing four persons and causing fifteen million dollars property damage. The tornado moved in a southeasterly direction at 40 to 50 mph.

 

Afternoon Gents -

Another beautiful Super White 2020 Tacoma in for the Spicy Taco Sauce.

Client wanted to try the KDMaxx and was so happy during the test drive.

If you are on the fence about Tuning your 2005-2021 Tacoma or 2007-2017 Tundra, give us a call and lets talk about what we have to offer.

 

That squat life#

 

Anybody see what’s missing here???

Lol give ya a hint, luckily I had my old factory bump stops off the blue truck these will do till I do a ubolt flip with some superbumps one day.

 

did that happened after you hauled the the gravel?

 

Lol they were missing before the gravel, I looked as I got home with the load and said shit I don’t have bumps. I could see where the center pin had hit the frame before.

 

Dang they let you out on good behavior? Thought you were in for 30.

 

Good thing you noticed and had some laying around

 

What happened? Brian get thrown in TW jail?

 

Several folks got the ban hammer, temporarily I think. Some got it longer than others.

ROUTINE AUGUST WEATHER: Alabama’s weather won’t change much for the rest of the week. Look for partly sunny, hot, humid days with random, scattered showers and thunderstorms around each day, mostly between 1:00 and 10:00 p.m. The chance of any one neighborhood seeing rain each afternoon will be in the 30-40 percent range, and afternoon highs will be in the 90-93 degree range. Just what you expect in mid-August.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: No real change; mixed sun and clouds Saturday and Sunday with the risk of a passing afternoon shower or thunderstorm both days. Highs will be pretty close to 90 degrees.

NEXT WEEK: The weather early in the week will be determined by a tropical system potentially moving inland from the eastern Gulf of Mexico. At the moment, it looks like Alabama could be on the drier, west side of the circulation, but there is no way of resolving details now. Otherwise, we will stick with a persistence forecast through the week with typical summer weather… highs will be in the 87-90 degree range most days. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



PTC 6: Potential Tropical Cyclone 6, now in the far eastern Caribbean, is expected to become Tropical Storm Fred later today or tonight. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico beginning this afternoon, and in the Dominican Republic tomorrow. Tropical storm conditions are possible in northern Haiti and the southeastern Bahamas by tomorrow night.

Intensification potential will be limited by interaction with the mountainous island of Hispaniola, dry air in the mid levels, and westerly shear. If the system survives, the NHC forecast has it as a tropical storm in the eastern Gulf of Mexico southwest of Tampa Bay Saturday night. It is important to remember that average track errors at days 4 and 5 with NHC forecasts are 175 miles and 200 miles, respectively.



From there, long range modeling suggests there could be a potential landfall over the eastern Florida panhandle in six days (Monday of next week). But this system has not even developed a core, and there is no way of knowing now the ultimate destination or intensity. If you have a beach trip planned next week, I would not cancel or make any changes; just keep an eye on the system.



The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1856: A hurricane destroyed Isle Dernieres or Last Island, a pleasure resort south-southwest of New Orleans on this day. The highest points of the island were under five feet of water. The resort hotel was destroyed, along with the island’s gambling establishments. Over 200 people perished, and the island lost all its vegetation and split in half. Only one cow remained on the island after the catastrophe. The Last Island is now just a haven for pelicans and other seabirds.

 

3 days lol
