Oregon and Washington BS thread

If you type in the four letter code for your nearest airport into weather.gov that is exceptionally accurate data. I calibrate them four times a year, accurate to within one degree (I aim for 1/10th) and the wind is within 1mph (unless a raptor is sitting on the wind tower eating a gopher, it happens a lot). Then you can look at the three day data for that airport. If you want to go way back, you can do that too. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/ You can also call ahead and stop by your local Weather Service office (Seattle) and look at the paper records from as far back as they were recorded. I have the paper copy of the state's record cold temperature recorded by my Great-Grandfather in Seneca, Oregon at -54F on Feb 10th, 1933.

 

Had to break out the chainsaw a couple times to get back to the office today. Nothing makes trees more prone to blowing over than a forest fire and saturated soil.

Also, saw only the second piebald I've ever seen today. Found my smallest matched set of sheds and a haggard elk shed.

 

Just left a bar in Oak Harbor, ferries were cancelled..

There was a proportional midget that was totally freaking me out. She was like a seven year old, but probably in her 20's. Not ugly, either..

My girlfriend didn't appreciate the comment about "If I could teach her how to weld..."

 

Wow man! You had a good day. I don't think we have the Albino/piebald gene on this side of the state. At least, I've never seen one.

 

Hah! Imagine the places she could get into to weld up.

Yea I did haha. Saw a nice three point buck too. Found another deer shed yesterday and saw a toad of 4 point. When it rains it pours haha. Has to have been at least a month since I found a shed.

I don't recall ever hearing anyone talk about seeing a piebald muley. I'm sure its possible, but I don't think I've heard of it.

There is a blonde cow elk that hangs out in the Jewell Wildlife Refugee and on the company's timberland that borders it. She's a pretty one!

 

Headed to seaside today!!

 

Going to be a long night

 

Ooooh

 

How much lower?

 

I'd assume an inch lol. Damn kids and lowering their shit for "handling" lol

 

Yeah an inch. Wasn't enough. Needs moar lows

 

low life is nice for looks only lol. I cringe every time i drive up to a driveway or speed bump and have to turn around. If you do springs and go even lower make sure you research the right shocks to compliment or you will be jumping around. Best bet is go coilover.

here is my z dropped. once you go low you have to basically buy new arms for everything and beefy bushings that dont tear. this is the lowest that i will tolerate it to go. My exhaust and braces are beat up...but such is the price for going low.

 

Not trying to go that low. Just better track times. This is with the new springs installed. Rides a million times better. I need better and wider tires. But I'm too cheap to replace them with only 2000 miles on the stock wheels lol. Think FI is just the best and next route to go. My truck is sad. I've been ignoring her and grounded her to the drive way lol.

 

^^ such is a game of neglect when you have toys you dump money into. by far the best bang for the buck on any sports car is adjustable sway bar links and beefy sway bars. Happy modding

 

My buddy at work is always drooling over some new thing to add to his FRS. Last thing was some weird turbo that mounts underneath near the rear. I thought it was bizarre but apparently it's much better than traditional mounts.

 

STS turbo. They make them for Tacos too, although I do not know anyone who actually uses them. It's the same price as the URD supercharger with half the power and twice the lag, and you'll be cleaning cow pies out of your air filter.

 

Got my Treadwrights mounted. Found out Les Schwab and American Tire have policies against mounting retreads, but I finally found somewhere that would do it! Broke them in Christmas tree hunting!

 

How do you like them so far?

 

No complaints so far!

 

Coolio. That's dumb that they won't mount retreads. where did you take them to?
