You going to paint or bed liner that top to match better? No judgment

 

Just settling in at work, Getting all my guys geared up for a massive cleaning session. All of the North American plant leads are coming to our facility next week for a planning meeting. So my boss wants this place in shape so we can take them on a plant tour. Its a real headache, But I do get to take all of them out for supper and Axe throwing next Thursday night on the Company dime.

 

what makes you say that? They are probably at 75%, Its just the caamra lighting that makes everything look grey out

I think it was just the way the pic was taken. I thought the same thing at first.

 

From AlabamaWX

RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers continue across the northern 2/3 of Alabama early this morning… the more numerous ones are over the Tennessee Valley. A few showers will remain possible through the day today, but the big story is the December warmth. The high this afternoon will be in the mid 70s in most places, about 15 degrees above average. Highs remain in the 70s through Friday, not far from record levels.

Here are the record highs for Birmingham… not expecting to break them, but it will be close.

December 7 (today) 80, set in 1951
December 8 (Thursday) 79, set in 1978
December 9 (Friday) 74, set in 1946

Tomorrow will be mostly dry with just a few showers near the Tennessee border. We will mention a risk of showers Friday as a surface front approaches, but the rain’t be especially heavy or widespread.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The front will have a hard time pushing through Alabama… it likely becomes stationary. Meaning a mostly cloudy weekend with some potential for rain at times both days. No washout, and no risk of severe storms. For now it looks like the higher coverage of rain will come on Sunday; highs over the weekend will be in the 66-73 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: Warm weather continues Monday and Tuesday; there will be a few scattered showers around both days, but nothing widespread. To the west, SPC has defined a risk of severe storms from North Texas and Oklahoma to Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Mississippi early in the week, but they do not have Alabama in a risk at this point at mid-week. The system arrives here Wednesday with rain and thunderstorms… the best dynamic support will stay well to the north, and instability values look low. So, for now the severe weather threat in Alabama looks very limited, but understand this is a week out, and things could change. Colder, drier air returns Thursday and Friday with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.

Global models continue to show signals for a colder look for the Deep South by Christmas and late December… See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: A large non-tropical area of low pressure located over the central subtropical Atlantic about 800 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for development and a subtropical or tropical storm could form within the next day or two. By tomorrow night or early Friday, the low will move northeastward over cooler waters and interact with a mid-latitude trough, limiting the chance for additional subtropical or tropical development of the system. It will remain far from land.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: An F2 tornado tracked for eight miles across parts of rural Lowndes County, MS, and into Lamar County, AL. The worst damage occurred near Steens, MS, where several homes were ripped apart, a trailer was destroyed, and numerous trees were knocked over.

ON THIS DATE IN 2006: A rare tornado tore through Kensal Rise in London. This T4 on the TORRO scale, equivalent to an F2 on the Fujita scale, injured six people and damaged 150 homes. According to the BBC, the last tornado which caused significant damage in London was in December 1954, in West London.

Saving gas this morning

 

Must have been the angle and lighting.

 

I need you guys to keep an eye out for a Honda CRF50. Wanting to stay below $500

 

Under $500?! Good luck. If I see one I’ll be sure to buy it and sell to you for $750

 

I got 2 buddies that bought TTR 50's for their kids last week. One of them gave $800 and the other found one for $600, Went to pick it up and the guy told him since it was for a kids Christmas he could have it for $400

 

You'll keep it at $750 I had one for $550, but it need F/R brakes and a seat cover. Dude has had it listed for a few months at $700. The brakes and cover would be an extra $100. Also found a perfect XR70 listed at $700.

I'll find one eventually.

A guy right outside of Atlanta listed a 2007 for $150. I sent him a message 10 minutes after he listed it telling him I'd drive over the next morning(saw the ad at 8p). He read my message and then had it marked sold by 8a the next morning.
