Alabama thread!

I need Ol’ Glory! PM me.

 

PM me your address I'll send it to ya.

 

Dat me.

I’ll be tagging along one of these weekends. But I’ve had something occupying my time every weekend since I moved up here a month and a half ago.

 

Hey Brandon, come on out any time you're ready. We have a real nice group of folks to ride and hang out with. Honestly, I'm just here for the wheelin'!

 

I like to wheel but honestly I enjoy the wrenching way more. Just so happens that the guys that like to wheel usually like to wrench too. Changing spark plugs is the most fun I can have for twelve bucks.

I’ve been trying my best to keep up with the bama thread but it moves quick. Lol.

 

Yeah these dudes are crazy. I get home from work and 12 pages have been added.

 

Used to be more before hammers were thrown.

 

You collect patches? I got some zfd and Taco comas I need to offload.

Like to wrench you say? I’m about the same, I’ve got uca bushings to change and fenders to trim now. Need a bham mod day.

 

True that.

 

Das Moon looking good tonight



I added the plane in photoshop....puts bag over head

 

Night bammers, back to the grind in the am!

 

I really don’t collect. Just have @medic2230 stitched life patches. So trying to finish out the collect so I have them all.

 

Morning Bama. Stuck in traffic for half an hour now on 59.

 

Damn what happen?

 

From AlabamaWX

QUIET PATTERN: A strengthening upper ridge will bring a pretty quiet weather pattern to Alabama through the beginning of the holiday weekend. We are expecting mostly sunny days and fair nights, and any afternoon showers will be very isolated. Odds of any one spot getting wet are only 10-20 percent each afternoon. Temperatures will heat up; highs will be mostly in the low 90s through Friday. The average high for Birmingham on September 2 is 89.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND: Afternoon highs will come down a bit… we expect upper 80s Saturday through Monday. Saturday will remain mostly dry, but a few scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Sunday and Monday, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. Partly sunny days, mostly fair nights.

NEXT WEEK: Showers and thunderstorms will increase in number Monday through Wednesday as moisture increases, and a strong upper air trough gets closer. Then, cooler, drier air will slip into the state Thursday and Friday. Highs drop into the low 80s, and many North Alabama communities should reach the upper 50s during the early morning hours. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: Nana, now a tropical storm in the Caribbean with winds of 60 mph, is expected to move into Central America late tonight as a category one hurricane on the Belize coast. It will dissipate inland by Friday. Omar is a weak tropical storm in the Atlantic well east of the U.S… it will dissipate soon far from land.





Elsewhere, showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure located about midway between the Windward Islands and west Africa have changed little in organization since yesterday evening. Some development of this system is possible this week as it meanders over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean. It will remain far from land through five days.

And, a tropical wave is expected to emerge off the coast of Africa later today and merge with a disturbance centered a couple of hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands in the next day or so. Gradual development of this system is then possible, and a tropical depression could form by this weekend while it moves westward over the eastern and central tropical Atlantic Ocean. Too early to know if this will ultimately impact any land mass.

The Gulf of Mexico remains quiet, and we expect routine weather on the Central Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores to Panama City Beach) over the Labor Day weekend with the usual mix of sun and scattered storms.

ON THIS DATE IN 1935: The Great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 (formally known as Hurricane Three) struck the Florida Keys. It was the most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall on record in terms of pressure, and tied with Hurricane Dorian in 2019 for the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane by maximum sustained winds, with winds of 185 mph. It was also the most intense Atlantic hurricane on record until Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. The town of Islamorada was obliterated

It was late summer, in the depths of the Great Depression. In the once-prosperous city of Key West, residents were trying to survive on an average monthly income of $7—about $125 in 2017 dollars. The city had declared bankruptcy. At least 408 were killed in the storm—almost half the people living between Key West and Miami. Included in the death toll were 250 veterans in a World War I veterans in a rehabilitation camp

 

Don’t know, but it looks like a fedex truck ran off the interstate, hit a tree, knocked it down across both lanes, and took out 2 cars with it. One car was upside down in the median. I hope everyone was ok. It was pretty bad. Was stuck for 2 hours and just got to work.

 

I’m down! My e-locker has been intermittent lately so I think I’m gonna replace it and try to fix the bad one for a spare.

 

Finally! My sliders are shipping. I really hope they get here Friday, I’m going to need all 3 days to re-learn my welding skills lol
